The preserved samples were transported under chain of custody to FGL Environmental laboratory with instructions to test for BTEX & TPH--G. The results of those analyzes are summarized on TABLES VI & II; all samples were below detection limits. Copies of the labora- tory reports & chain of custody are included as EXHIBITS I & J, PLAT$ IX is the lithologic plot of that soil boring. Drill cuttings & unused core material were placed in metal drums, securely sealed, and moved to the Normac site for storage. The auger rig was also moved to the Normac property and stored in a locked building for the weekend. Work resumed on January 17, 1994, under the direction of Wm, Hunter, RG, assisted by Don Light of Del-Tech. The same crew was used as on the previous borehole. The rig was mobilized on the spot previously marked by WJH; it is identified as TB-1 on PLATE VII . The auger flights, hydropunch, and associated equip ment had been thoroughly decontaminated prior to bringing on location. The PID meter was calibrated as before by Don Light, and wit- nessed by Mr. Hunter. • Operations commenced at 1030 hours; from surface to 20' the drill ]. cuttings consisted of tan to light brown clay, slightly moist, sticky & somewhat plastic. At 20' , the blanking plug was pulled, and a clean core barrel was inserted. A core was taken from 20' to 22' 6" ; recovery was 24" of brown to buff to gray clay, slighly Plastic, with a mottled appearance. No odors or evidence of discoloration were noted. A portion of core from 22' was placed in a sealed tube, allowed to stand for 10-15 minutes, and tested for contamination by inserting the probe of the PID meter into the plastic end cap. No reading was noted. The middle tube was promptly sealed, labeled, and preserved according to WHJ standard field procedures described earlier. Drilling continued as before, and a core was taken from 25' to 27,¢.. ; recovery consisted of 27" of brown to dark brown clay as above, with small inclusions of dark gray clay_ The PID meter reading was zero from a sample at 27' . no evidence of contamina- tion was noted, and the middle tube at 26' was sealed and pre- served as before. The next core was taken from 101 to 32' 6" ; recovery was 30" of dark gray, silty organic clay, grading to fine to medium grained sand. There was no response from the PID meter from a sample at 32' , and no odor or discoloration was noted_ The middle tube was sealed and preserved per WJH protocol . 7
