split-spoon samplers designed to hold 2" diameter metal sample tubes. While one core barrel was in use, the other was ' thoroughly cleaned with TSP & water, filled with new metal tubes & set aside pending use. ' Operations began at 0835; surface material consisted of road base & gravel, grading to brown clay loam. At a depth of 5' , the drill plug was retrieved, a clean core barrel was inserted into ' the flights, and driven from 5' to 616" . The core barrel was removed and laid on a clean surface for examination by the geologist. The barrel was carefully opened; recovery' was recorded, and the contents described in detail. A full tube of ' cored material was quickly examined & promptly covered with teflon tape & plastic caps; the ends were sealed with duct tape, the tube identified & placed on ice in a sealed chest for ' preservation. Drilling continued to 30' , at which depth another core was taken; it was handled in the same manner as above. Additional cores ' were taken at 15-16' 6" , 20' -21' 6", & 21' 6"-23..0" . The augers were advanced. to 32' , appronimatelp 10' below the mater table. Refer to PLAM V111 for details of blowy counts, core recovery, description of litholLogy, and other details. `Where was no evidence of contamination in drill cuttings, cored material, or groundwater. ' Drill cuttings and unused core material were Placed in metal drums, tightly sealed, labeled, & stored on site pending results of laboratory analysis. ' At the completion of auger.ing operations, 2" SCD. 40, flush screw-joint blank & shop perforated PVC was run in the hole to ' 32' and gravel packed & sealed as shown on PLATF 1X. Cementing of the annular space above the bentonite sear was deferred pending completion of the other well. The casing top ' & annulus were thoroughly covered. I A smaller auger rig capable of advancing flights with the mast laid down was mobilized over the location for well #4. It was equipped with clean 8 1/4" flights, which used the same core barrel assembly uhilised fox wall 45. However, instead of being pounded into the soil with a drive hammer, the coring assembly is ' pushed into the ground with a hydraulic piston. Blow counts cannot be obtained with this type of equipment- Operations began at 1035 as directed by the RG. Cores were taken from 51 -61,611 , 1011-1116", 151 -1616" , & 20121' 6" ; they were described, handled & preserved by the same WJH field procedures used for well 05. The well was advanced to 33' , preparatory to completing. Drill cuttings & unused core material was placed in 1 5
