19 September 2003 AGE-NC Project No. 03-1043 Page 2 of 4 DRILLING AND SAMPLE COLLECTION On 07 August 2003, four soil probe borings (B-5, B-6, B-7, and B-8) were advanced at-the site as part of assessment activities. Proposed borings B-1 and B-4 were not completed at this time due to the geoprobe encountering refusal at approximately.45' below surface grade (bsg) in proposed borings B-1 and B-2. On 05 September 2003 AGE returned to the site and collected ground water samples from borings B-1 and B-2 utilizing a CME-75HT drill rig equipped with 8.25 inch hollow stem augers. AGE chose the completed boring locations in order to collect a representative sample of the subj ect property's subsurface.The field work was conducted as outlined in the AGE prepared, Phase 11 Site Assessment Work.Plan and Phase II Site Assessment Work Plan Addendum, dated 17 June 2003 and 18 August2003, respectively. Soil probe borings B-5,B-6,B-7,and B-8 were advanced utilizing a truck-mounted Geoprobe 5400, equipped with 1.125-inch diameter probe rods with an attached 2.15-inch diameter soil sampler, using "direct push" technology. The three borings'were advanced vertically to depths of 25 feet below surface grade (bsg) for collection of soil samples. Soil samples were collected at 5-foot intervals beginning at 5 feet bsg to the total depth of each boring. Each sample was collected utilizing a 1.125-inch Geoprobe soil sampling assembly loaded with four six-inch brass sleeves. After collection,the ends of the second brass sleeve were covered with Teflon sheets, capped and sealed with tape. The sleeve was labeled with soil probe boring location, depth, time, date and sampler's initials and then placed in a chilled container. In addition to the above sample preperation, a soil sample from one of the three remaining sleeves was field- screened for the presence of volatile organic compounds using an photo ionization detector(PID). Soil probe borings B-1 and B-2 were advanced utilizing a CME-75HT drill rig, utilizing 8.25-inch diameter hollow-stem augers to advance borings B-1 and B-2.The drill rig and two-man crew were supplied by Cascade Drilling. Auger returns generated by drilling were stockpiled onsite. Ground water samples were collected from each boring using a dedicated disposable plastic bailer. Sufficient sample was collected to fill three 40-m1 EPA-approved volatile organic analysis(VOA)vials containing 0.5 ml 18% hydrochloric acid as a preservative, one 1 liter amber bottle without preservative, and two 500-m1 poly containers without perservative. The ground .water sample containers were labeled with probe boring designation,date,time,and samplers initials and then placed in a chilled container. Following soil and ground water sample collection, all probe-boring locations were backfilled to surface grade with Portland cement. Advanced QoEnviro3nmentai Inc.
