u � 15 March 2005 AGE-NC Project No. 04-1233 Page 2 of 4 20 linear feet of leach line and the bottom of each seepage pit of the on-site, residential septic system. On 16 December 2004,a Well Boring Permit Application was submitted and approved.On 03 January 2004, an AGE representative was on site to locate the sampling points requested by SJCEHD. Utilizing a small excavator the distribution box was located and uncovered. Each leach line was uncovered at the source point and traced to the termination point, where the top of the seepage pit was made visible for inspection. Sampling points adjacent to each leach line were marked and uncovered at each 20 foot interval from the source point.The design of the septic system and locations of the sampling points are indicated on the site plan(Figure 2). SOIL AND WATER SAMPLING On 04 February 2005, an AGE representative met Mr. Michael Infurna of the SJCEHD at the site for approval of the requested sampling locations.Following SJCEHD approval,eleven soil samples (LL-1 through LL-09,DB-10,ST-11 )were collected at the specified locations.A water sample was also collected from the on-site domestic well (DW-1). Samples LL-1 through LL-6 and LL-9 were collected at a depth of 3 to 5 feet below surface grade(bsg),directly beneath the leach lines. Samples LL-7 and LL-8 were collected at 26.5 feet bsg directly beneath the seepage pits. Sample DB-10 was collected at 4 to 5 feet bsg directly beneath the distribution box. Sample ST-11 was collected 8 feet bsg from an area under the septic tank. Soil samples were collected using a Geoprobe soil sampling assembly loaded with four pre-cleaned 1.125-inch by 6-inch brass sleeves.The uppermost sleeve of each soil sample assembly was preserved by covering both ends of the brass sleeve with Teflon sheets, capping, and sealing with tape. All samples were properly labeled,placed in a appropriate, chilled container and transported under chain-of-custody to Cal Tech Environmental Laboratory a State of California Department of Health Services (DHS)-certified laboratory. The samples were analyzed for: • Total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons(TRPH)in accordance with EPA Method 8015m, carbon chain C-5 through C-42; • Full scan 8260b, reporting all peaks; • Chloride in accordance with EPA Method 300.0; and • pH in accordance with EPA Method 150.1. LABORATORY RESULTS Chloride was detected at 6.6 mg/1 in the domestic well sample.None of the other target analytes were reported at concentrations above the detection limits. The pH analysis of all samples was measured
