Description: Photograph of the northern, upper side of a steel underground tank located adjacent to the sand-blasting room in the far southeastern corner of Grid 30. View faces south. Pipe TT is located about 10 feet south of the tank, and Pipe PP crosses about 3 feet from the corner of the tank, trending from the front left to right rear of the photo. A brownish yellow (10 YR 6/8) translucent liquid with a strong chemical odor was present within the tank. The liquid was miscible in water and had a pH of between 10 and 11. Headspace readings of over 200 ppm on a PID for hydrogen sulfide and over 220 for VOCs were recorded. The medium brown NAPL in the excavation, ubiquitous in this area of the site, is due to contamination in ground water from unspecified on-site sources, not from the contents of the tank.
