1 <br />' taEl ng soil samples. There was no odor or discoloration noted. <br /> Additional asphalt was removed with the bacl hoe bucE et , and the <br />' e .cavation was widened to appro;•imately 20 long X 15 wide, and 15 ' <br /> deep. No visible contamination or soil discoloration was observed , <br /> but a definite gasoline odor was noted in some of the spoil in the <br /> bacl hoe bc_cc[ et. Spoil was placed on plastic on asphalt adjacent to <br />' the pit on the north as shown on Plate VIII . Excavation continued <br /> under the direction of W. J . Hunter , consultant. Harlen mull , <br /> SJLHD, arrived at the location at approximately 1FM, and observed <br />' the excavation process, and e..ami ned sel ec ted samples. Pockets of <br /> odor were detected , primarily from the south side of the excavation , <br /> and occasional tree product was observed when spoil samples that had <br />' a distinct odor were e-ermined closely. A slight sheen could be <br /> observed when selected samples were placed in water. All of the <br /> spoil below the top 6" was dry; there was no evidence of moisture in <br /> the pat during the e: cavat1or, operation s. k (=a,(atlun continued <br />' until anout AAM, when it was decided to cease operations until the <br /> ?:end. due to approaching darE ness. <br />' At the suggestion of Mr. enol l , Mr . Brod, of FGL Environmental took <br /> 2 samples at three locations from the spoil ; instructions were to <br /> split R, mi,t the samples to obtain composites , and analyze for BTX&E , <br /> EDB, TF'H-G, and organic lead ; refer to Table III for details. <br /> Wor4 resumed on the :.2nd , and the e-cavation was deepened and <br /> widened to <-ippro_i motel y :,0 long X 19 ' wide X 21 deer). Spoil was <br />' placed on plastic , ton asphalt , ) adjacent to the pit on the north as <br /> shown on Plate VIII . Mr. knoll of the SJLHD was presenr during the <br /> majority of this work. Occasional pockets of odor were detected , <br /> and some minor amounts of what appeared to be liquid were nested when <br /> selected samples were broken ripen. Some samples e,,hibited a slight <br /> color or sheen when placed in water. All of the soil below the top <br /> t:�" were dry; there was no evidence of moisture in the pit during <br /> e,,cavat i all. <br /> Because of time constraints, it was agreed to take the soil samples <br />' the following day, and operations were =suspended. <br /> On January 2L, 1990, Thorpe Oil personel removed some loose spoil <br />' from the bottom of the hole preparatory to taking samples. No odor <br /> was noted prior to, or during the clean -out operation , and no odors <br /> were detected from the spoil . An estimated total of 300 cubic yards <br /> of spoil has been removed From the pit ; it will be covered with <br /> tplastic until remediation plans have been formulated. <br /> An examination of the sediments e ,posed by the e,,cavation revealed <br /> the following general lithology: <br /> 1 <br />
