16 October 2009 AGE-NC Project No. 09-1714 Page 3 of 5 four tanks were observed to be rusted,three in"fair condition"and one in"good condition". Two of the tanks were observed to have visible holes,and the other two reportedly had"no visible holes." Additionally, in 2008, surface spillage of hydraulic fluid occurred near the northwest corner of the subject area. It is AGE's understanding that shallow soil in the effected are was excavated and disposed off-site. SOIL BORING ADVANCEMENT On 21 and 22 September 2009,nineteen soil borings(B 1 through B 19)were advanced at the site as part of assessment activities. Soil borings B 1 through B8 and B 11 through B 19 were advanced utilizing a van-mounted Geoprobe 5400 direct-push probing unit,equipped with 1.125-inch diameter probe rods with an attached 2.15-inch diameter soil sampler. The Geoprobe advances soil borings using a hydraulic hammer to drive soil sampling tools to specified depths: • Borings B 1 and B2 were advanced to a depth of approximately 20 feet below surface grade (bsg). • Borings 133, B6, B11 through B13, and B15 through B19 were advanced to a depth of approximately 5 feet bsg. • Borings B4, B5, B7, B8 and B 14 were advanced to a depth of approximately 10 feet bsg. Soil borings B9 and B 10 were hand augured to a depth of approximately 5 feet bsg.Boring locations are illustrated on Figure 2. As required for procurement of a boring permit,the scope of work and procedures were detailed in the AGE-prepared Limited Subsurface Site Assessment Work Plan,dated 10 September 2009, submitted to EHD. SOIL SAMPLE COLLECTION Soil samples were collected from borings B1, B2, B4, B5, B7,B8 and B14 at five foot intervals, beginning at 5 feet bsg and extending to the total depth of the boring Additionally,soil samples were collected from borings B3, B6, B 11 through B 13, and B 15 through B 19 at depths of 2.5 feet and 5 feet bsg.Each sample was collected utilizing a 1.25-inch Geoprobe soil sampling assembly loaded with four six-inch stainless steel 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 boring location, depth, time, date and sampler's initials and then placed in a chilled container. Soil was extruded from a second stainless steel sleeve and then visually described in accordance with the Advanced GeoEnvironmental,Inc.
