labeled with a stick-on label filled out with indelible ink. Each label contained the following information: Site Name Date Collected Time Collected Sample I.D. Sampler's Initials Analysis Required Each sample was then sealed into a ziplock baggie and placed into an insulated chest with ice. These samples were delivered with a Chain of Custody document within 24 hours to the WESTON Analytics Stockton laboratory. This laboratory is certified by the State of California to perform the required analyses. Soil samples from the two southernmost hand auger borings SBA and SB-3 were submitted for analysis for benzene, toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene (BTXE) by EPA Method 8020, and for total petroleum hydrocarbon from gasoline (TPH-G) by EPA Method 8015 -Modified. The soil sample from SB-2 was archived at the laboratory pending analytical results from SBA and S13-3.. The three soil borings were backfilled to the surface with concrete. The monitoring well installed (MW-4) is of four inch diameter schedule 40 PVC. Fifteen feet of screened section (0.02 inch slot size) was placed in the well. The screen was placed from 4.5 to 19.5 feet BGS and a slip-on end cap secured with stainless steel screws was placed at the bottom. A sand pack (#3 sand)was placed from the total depth of the boring (20 feet BGS) to 4.0 feet BGS. The well was surged using a surge block to settle the sand pack prior to placing a seal above it, A one foot thick layer of bentonite chips was laid on top of the sand pack and saturated with water. Concrete was used to seal the hole above the bentonite plug and at the surface to support a flush mounted locking Christy box. The well casing was capped with a four inch diameter water tight locking cap. All well casing (blank and screened pipe) was decontaminated by steam cleaning prior to use. A summary of the well construction is presented in Table A-1. Well MW-4 was developed by swabbing and bailing. A total of 110 gallons was removed via bailing. At the end of the development process, the water derived from the well was velatively free from suspended sediment. All purge water was containerized in steel drums, labeled, and left at the site pending analysis. All soil cuttings brought to the surface during drilling were also containerized, labeled, and left at the site. All on-site work was performed in accord with WESTON's site specific health and safety plan. The field work for this project was performed under level D personnel protection. Air monitoring for volatiles was performed utilizing an HNu photoionization detector (PID), and Draeger detector tubes for benzene. No sustained levels of volatiles above background were encountered in either the well boring or the soil borings. A - 3
