retrieved, placed on a clean work surface and the core head removed. The barrel was opened and the metal tubes were carefully placed on a clean surface by the geologist, Wm Hunter Recovery consisted of 15" of black loamy clay, with a mottled appearance There was some degraded asphalt in the upper portion of the core The bottom tube was promptly sealed by covering the ends with teflon tape & plastic end caps & wrapping with duct tape. The tube was labeled and placed on ice. The remaining core material was described and closely examined, and then placed in the metal drum with the drill cuttings While the geologist was describing and preserving the core, the other core barrel was cleaned and filled with metal sleeves, and set aside until needed Additional cores were taken from 101011 - 111611 , and 151011- 1614" using the same procedure as described earlier The cores were examined, logged, and preserved per standard WJH field proce- dures Refer to PLATE IX for a complete description of blow counts, recovery, lithology, and other pertinent details The augers were then advanced to 25 , bgl preparatory to running casing for completing as a groundwater monitoring well 211 , Sch 40, flush screw--thread PVC casing was assembled and lowered into the auger flights the bottom 20 feet consisted of 3 rows of 0201, horizontal machine cut slots with a solid screw-on cap on bottom; the top 5 feet was blank The casing was landed at 25 ' bgl, with the top of the screened interval at 5 feet below ground level The annular space between the auger flights & casing was filled with #3 SRI graded gravel which was poured from the surface The casing was continually vibrated during place- ment to prevent the possibility of bridging The depth of the gravel was checked with a weighted tape, as the annular space filled, auger flights were withdrawn from the hole A total of 8 sacks of sand was used to fill the annulus When the sand pack had reached 3 1/2 feet, 1/2 bag of bentonite pellets was poured down the annulus and located at 2 feet below grade. It was wetted with approximately 2 gallons of water. The casing & hole were covered awaiting grouting at the completion of operations A schematic diagram of completion details is included as PLATE IXA. After decontaminating auger flights, the rig was spotted on the location marked for soil boring #3, as shown on PLATE VI Drilling began at 1315 hours, cores were taken from 5 ' -61611 , 10 ' -11 ' 6" , & 15 ' -1616" using the same field procedures described in detail for the monitoring wells After retrieving the last core, the hole was allowed to stand for 20 minutes to stabilize A clean, 3 ' long teflon bailer was run and recovered 2 ' of muddy 7
