�• Based on field observations, PID measurements, and consultation with the PHS/EHD inspector, a total of seven soil samples were sealed with Teflon® paper and plastic end caps, labeled and transported in an iced cooler with chain-of-custody documentation to Kiff Analytical, LLC (Kiff), a state of California certified hazardous waste testing laboratory (Certification #2236) After encountering saturated soil and static groundwater in the soil boring at a depth of approximately 78 5 feet bgs, the boring was then advanced to a total depth of 83 feet bgs so that a groundwater-grab sample could be collected To collect the groundwater-grab sample, a two-inch diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) temporary well was constructed and installed in the borehole The temporary well consisted of 10 feet of flush-threaded and machine-slotted (0 020-Inch) well screen spanning approximately five feet above and five feet below the static groundwater level Blank PVC casing was threaded into the top of the well screen and extended to the surface Neither a sand pack nor a well seal was installed in the temporary well Prior to groundwater-grab sampling, approximately five gallons of groundwater was purged from the temporary well with a bailer During purging, groundwater temperature, pH and electrical conductivity were recorded Once the groundwater in the temporary well was purged and had recharged to at least 90% of its original groundwater column thickness, a groundwater-grab sample was collected The groundwater-grab sample was collected with a disposal bailer and poured into • laboratory-supplied containers The containers were labeled and transported in an iced cooler with chain-of-custody documentation to Kiff for analysis Once the soil and groundwater-grab sampling was completed, the temporary well was removed and the soil boring was sealed with 20 1 cement bentonite grout, installed to the bottom of the borehole using a tremae pipe Following borehole abandonment, the surface composition was restored Waste soil generated during the drilling of the soil boring was stockpiled at the site using a base ' and cover of plastic sheeting Proper disposition of the waste soil is currently pending Equipment rInsate water and purged groundwater were stored on-site in 55-gallon drums pending waste profiling and proper disposition The groundwater-grab sample and each of the selected soil samples were analyzed for TPH-as- gasoline, BTEX, MTBE, DIPE, ETBE, TAME, TBA, and 1,2-Dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) by EPA Method 8260B The sod samples collected at 15, 25 and 35 feet bgs were also analyzed for total ' lead by EPA Method 6010 0 8
