Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is located approximately 40 miles east of San Francisco in the southeastern portion of the Livermore Valley near Livermore, California. In 1979, an underground gasoline tank was found to be leaking. The spill occurred near Building 403 in the southeast corner of LLNL. The initial investigation confirmed the presence of gasoline contamination in both the soil and ground water. The water table is at a depth of approximately 100 feet. A pilot study on the use of soil vapor extraction in heterogeneous deposits was begun in August 1988. Fieldwork to assess the efficacy of the vapor extraction, including soil sampling and installation of three vadose zone monitoring devices, began in October 1990. 4 refs., 9 figs.
