57"6" ; recovery was 24" of coarse sand & gravel, tan to gray, clean, damp but not wet; it graded to clayey sand. There was no evidence of contamination, and no reading on the PID meter from a Portion of the core; the tube at 57' was preserved per standard field protocol. The next core was taken from 60' to 62' 6" ; recovery was 27" . The top 12" was sandy clay, grading to clayey sand, very fine to medium grained, fairly soft, damp but not wet. Again, there were no odors or visible staining, and no reading was noted on the PID meter from a portion of the bottom of the core. The middle tube was sealed and preserved_ Drilling continued to 651 , and a core was taken from 65' to 67' f_. . Recovery was 18" of coarse sand & gravel, damp but not wet, interbedded with clays; grading to sandy clay. The end of the core head contained a 1/4" layer of sticky blue clay_ No evidence of contamination was noted, and the PID meter read zero from a portion of the core at 66' . The middle tube was preserved as described earlier. Drilling continued to 701 , and a core was taken from0� 1 to • '72' 6" . When the core barrel was retrieved, the outside was wet, indicating that water may have been encountered_ When the barrel was opened, it contained 27" of fine to medium grained micaceous sand, dark gray, loose & wet; it was interbedded with tan to brown clays. A sample at 72' gave a reading of zero on the PID meter. The middle tube: was sealed, labeled and preserved per standard field protocol. Drilling ceased at this point, since it appeared that the water table had been reached. A thoroughly decontaminated hydropunch tool, was made up on hollow rods and run inside the auger flights to bottom at 72' 6" . The tool was driven to 75' bgl with the drive hammer - blow counts were 95-60-80. The hollow tubing was then pulled up about 6" to open the tool; it was left open about 45 minutes to allow a sufficient sample to be taken. The sample chamber was then closed, and the tool retrieved. Four (4) clean glass VOA' s were preserved with a small amount of ACG, and filled by pouring the contents of the sample chamber, (approximately 1 liter of slightly muddy water, ) directly into the vials. The VOA' s were checked to make sure there were no bubbles, tightly sealed, labeled, and placed on ice pending transport to the lab. The auger hole was grouted from bottom to 4' below surface with cement which was mixed in hopper and pumped through a flexible hose lowered into the hole. i 6
