| Testing associated with Automobile Dealership Service Shops should include:
- Soil and groundwater testing in pervious areas that are susceptible to surface discharges or show evidence of soil staining or stressed vegetation for components associated with petroleum and solvents.
- If floor drains and an oil/water separator or septic tank are or had been present, the drainfield or point of discharge from the oil/water separator or septic tank should be tested for petroleum and solvent compounds.
- If in-ground hydraulic lifts are present, and there is evidence that any lifts had been or are currently not functioning correctly, the soil and groundwater below the lift structure and reservoir should be tested for petroleum and PCB's.
If a Paint & Body Shop is or had been present, testing should include:
- Soil and groundwater testing in pervious areas that are susceptible to surface discharges or show evidence of soil staining or stressed vegetation for paint wastes including Acetone, Lacquer Thinner and other industrial solvents. If paint booth filters are not properly maintained, soil and groundwater near the exhaust outlet should be tested for solvents and metals.
- If floor drains and an oil/water separator or a septic tank are or had been present, the drainfield or point of discharge from the oil/water separator or septic tank should be tested for petroleum and solvent compounds.
- If in-ground hydraulic lifts are present, and there is evidence that any lifts had been or are currently not functioning correctly, the soil and groundwater below the lift structure and reservoir should be tested for petroleum and PCB's.
If fuel tanks are or had been present, testing should be conducted in or near the areas of the existing or former tank farm, dispenser islands, and piping.
Groundwater can be collected from existing permanent and/or temporary monitoring wells and analyzed for components associated with gasoline, diesel, and, if service facilities are or were present, for waste oil, solvents, and metals.
Soil can be collected and field-analyzed for hydrocarbons with an Organic Vapor Analyzer (OVA) and can be analyzed in a laboratory for components associated with gasoline, diesel, waste oil, solvents, and metals.
If non-self-contained wash racks or engine de-greasing areas are or had been present, the soil and groundwater around these areas should be tested for petroleum and solvents.
