r� While it was being processed, the first core barrel was cleaned with Alconox & clean water, filled with clean metal tubes, and set aside until needed. The same field procedure described above was used for preserving, describing, and screening all cored material Additional cores were taken at 5' intervals from 10' to 40' as described above, unused core material and drill cuttings were placed in metal drums for later disposal The core taken from 301-31'611 contained wet, sticky, sandy gray clay. An interface probe was run and located fluid at 30' bgl No odors or other evidence of contamination were noted. However, the core taken from 351-36'611 had a very faint petroleum odor, and a reading of 2 3 ppm was recorded by the PID meter when inserted in the plastic bag containing a portion of the core The augers were advanced to 391, and a final core was taken from 391-40161" it consisted of wet, sticky blue clay A faint petroleum odor was noted in some portions of the core, but no visible discoloration or contamina- tion was noted Drilling ceased at that depth, and the crew prepared to run casing & complete the well Refer to PLATE XI for details of lithology, blow counts, recovery, and other information 2" blank & slotted flush screw- oin and run to 401; the bottom 20, consistedeofle020"40 PhorizontVC was aal up shop -made slots with a screw -thread cap on the bottom The remainder of the casing was blank After placing a cap on the top of the casing, the annular space between the auger flights & casing was filled with #3 washed sand by pouring down the annulus from the surface The pipe was intermittently vibrated, and sand fill was continually checked with a weighted line. Auger flights were removed as sand fill increased An interface probe was run inside the casing and located water at 25.71 bgl After verifying the top of the sand, (it was at 181, 2 feet above the top of the perforations,) a bucket of bentonite pellets was poured down the annulus & wetted with clean water The top of the seal was located at 16' bgl. After removing all of the auger flights, the top of the well was covered with a metal drum and the flights decontaminated prior to moving to the next well Refer to PLATE XI -A for a schematic diagram of the well completion After decontamination of all equipment, the rig was mobilized on the site marked for monitoring well #3, as shown on PLATE X Cores were taken at 5 foot intervals from 5' bgl to 311611 using the same field procedures described for MW -4. No odors or PID readings were detected in any of the cores, or the sediments on the auger flights Refer to PLATE XII for details of lithology, blow counts, core recovery, & other data 0
