AI summary Analytical results from groundwater sampling at multiple monitoring wells (MW1 to MW4) and a field sample (FD1) show low levels of hydrocarbons and other contaminants. Most analytes are below detection limits, with some samples showing slight elevations in certain fractions of mTPH and EPH. The data suggest that hydrocarbon levels are generally within acceptable limits, and baseline conditions may have been re-established at some locations.
