The boreholes were logged using the Unified Soil Classification System under the supervision of a registered geologist Additional lithologlc mformauon was collected to describe the subsurface geology Sod samples were field screened for presence of contaminants by checking for presence of odor and staining, and a photo ionization meter was used for reconnaissance soil field vapor measurement use Soil samples were collected at minimum five-foot intervals, with additional samples collected at intervals of obvious contamination and at stratigraphic features of interest using field discretion In . addition, Boreholes PB-15, PB-16, PB-17, and PB-18 were continuously cored (see attached boring logs) Upon completion of the borehole drilling and collection of information, all boreholes were backfilled with cement grout, placed from the bottom to top of the borehole by tremae line Reconnaissance Groundwater Sam IM A total of eleven boreholes were sampled in Apn125, 2000 and April 19, 2001 using push - or drill rods as temporary casing Boring PB-14 collapsed winch prevented the collection of a groundwater sample Borehole PB-20 collapsed upon the GeoProbe sampler and the threads faded which attached the sampling egwpment Very severe flowing conditions completely covered the sampler equipment preventing recovery, and the borehole was cemented at that point Depth to groundwater measurements were made from the ground surface to the nearest one-one hundredth of one foot from existing grade, and also checked for the presence of separate phase product pnor to sample collection The groundwater sample was carefully collected with a clean disposable bailer, or GeoProbe water sampler, which advances a clean screen into the aquifer strata, and poured into the appropriate laboratory prepared container with minimum cavitation and headspace Each water sample was labeled, Iogged onto a chain-of-custody form, and placed m a chilled ice chest on crushed ice Chemical Anal sjs A total of thirty-nine (39) soil samples and eleven reconnaissance groundwater samples were analyzed at Chromalab, Inc a State certified analytical laboratory from the exploratory borings These samples were tested for the following, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons as Gasoline (TPHG) and Diesel (TPHD), Benzene (B), Toluene (T) Ethylbenzene (E) and Xylene (X), Methyl-tert-butyl-ether (MTBE) and fuel oxygenates, using EPA Methods 351018015, 8020, 8240 and 8260 The results are tabulated and presented in the attached Tables 1 and 2 together with previous boring data (Tables 3 and 4) are attached Paye 6
