the lab under custody chain for analysis . The rig was then mobilized on the site marked A-5 as shown on PLATE III, and a core was taken from 101 -111611 as described above . Recovery was 15" of tan to brown silty clay, slightly moist but not wet . Soil had a mottled appearance due to color changes . A very faint fleeting unidentifiable odor was noted, which quickly dissipated. One of the metal sleeves was promptly sealed and taken to the onsite lab. The lithologic plot is included as PLATE Vd. The hydropunch tool was driven to 15 ' bgl, and opened to allow fluid entry. Several runs with the bailer produced no water; the tool was allowed to set for one hour, but there was no fluid entry. The tools were removed and thoroughly decontaminated prior to next use . Due to impending darkness, and after discussion with the County representative, it was decided to move to location C-2, (see PLATE III, ) in an attempt to define the limits to the north & northeast . After mobilizing the rig and cleaning equipment, a core was taken from 10 ' -11' 6" as described earlier. Recovery • consisted of 15" of dark gray to black silty clay loam, damp but not wet . An odor of "old" gasoline was noted in the core material, but no visable evidence of contamination was noted. One of the metal sleeves was promptly sealed and taken to the onsite lab for analysis . Refer to PLATE Ve for the lithologic plot . The hydropunch tool was driven to 15 ' bgl, and opened. Fluid entry was almost immediate, and three VOA' s were filled with dark colored water which had a definite "old" gasoline odor. Upon standing a few minutes, the water became clear and considerable fine gray silt settled to the bottom of the VOA' s . They were delivered to the onsite lab for analysis . All of the probe holes were thoroughly grouted with cement by the use of a small diameter flexible hose which was lowered to the bottom. After cleaning equipment, operations ceased for the day On November 28, 1995 , the Strataprobe unit and mobile laboratory were mobilized on location at 8 : 30 AM under the direction of Wm. Hunter, RG, from Wm. J. Hunter & Associates, (WJH. ) The results of the laboratory analyses of the prior days work revealed that locations A-1 & A-2 had no soil or water contamination, and that the soil from A-5 was clean; (there was no water entry from that hole. ) A-4 revealed significant levels of BTEX & TPHg in both • soil & water samples . C-2 revealed only TPHg in soil & water 5
