OCT E_ 16' 1D LE-1.1DIF, -F'ICI;:E,H E'. - LEVI N E•FRICKE be discussed here, but will be addressed in detail in our report. OBJECTIVE The major objective of the Environmental Site Assessment is to identify possible environmental concerns at the Sites, assessing potential problems relating to chemical application, leakage, spillage, discharge and disposal. Such problems could be the result of present or past operating practices at the Sites, past land uses prior to the current ownership of the Sites, or migra- tion of chemicals onto the Sites from neighboring properties. Given the apparent historical agricultural usage of both proper- ties, the primary focus of the assessment would be on agricul- tural chemicals associated with such use. PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK The revised proposed Scope of Work for Task 5, Sampling of Soil and Ground Water, and Task 6, Laboratory Analysis is summarized below. Task 5s Conduct Sampling of Soil and around Water Random Samolina For purposes of assessing the presence of agricultural chemicals used in the field areas of the Site, the site will be divided into eight units, based roughly on crop history and parcel lines. From four to five shallow soil samples will be collected within each unit at depths of approximately 1 foot and 3 feet below grade using hand-angering equipment. Portions of the 1-foot samples collected from each unit will be composited by the laboratory for analysis. The remainder of the individual soil samples collected from each unit will be retained by the labora- tory for possible future analysis. The samples collected at 3 feet will be held by the laboratory pending the analysis results of the 1-foot samples. Targeted Sampling Subsurface soil and/or ground-water samples will be collected from a total of 15 deeper borings targeted to locations which, due to surface topography/drainage or site activities, are anti- cipated to have a higher likelihood of being chemically impacted. These borings will be drilled to ground water, an estimated depth -of-j-. 5--1Q_ feet--below the ground surface, using the--hollow=stem agger _drilling_method. - ---eLMli ,_tw-4 surface_water_sample s__ will be collected, one from each of two drainage ditches located at the Site, for analysis. Two near-surface sediment samples will also be collected from the base of the drainage ditches to -2-
