the sand. The remaining portion of the well was filled with a ( concrete grout seal and a manhole well cover installed. A locking cap with lock was placed in the casing to avoid surface contamination to groundwater. There are 5 Monitoring Wells on site. The location of the wells and boring B-1 is shown in Figure 2 . SOIL SAMPLING Soil samples were collected at approximately five foot intervals commencing at ten feet using a split spoon tube sampler loaded with pre-cleaned brass tubes. The sampling equipment was decontaminated using, tri-sodium phosphate solution (TSP) and twice rinsed with the last rinse using distilled water prior to sampling. Soil samples were collected in the lowest brass liner and preserved by covering both ends with Teflon tape and capped with plastic caps. The soil samples were labeled and logged under Chain-of-Custody (COC) control_ They were stored in a cooler with ice, transported to a state certified laboratory for analysis with COC documentation. The soil samples were labeled as to boring number and depth, i.e. the soil sample collected from MW-I at the 5 foot level was marked B-1 51 . The soil samples with PID readings above background were analyzed. The soil cuttings were stored on and covered with visqueen awaiting the results of the soil analysis. GROUNDWATER SAMPLING On August 30, 2000, Michael Dzugaj and John P. Cummings of JPCA went to the site to collect groundwater samples. Carol Oz, Sr REHS, SJCEHD inspector was also on site. The new wells need to have more grout placed in the bore holes. The grout seals had settled up to 6 feet, not uncommon in deeper wells with significant sand in the zone to be grouted. The wells were purged by bailing, by hand, with a clean dedicated PVC bailer for each well . After the bailing, and prior to collecting groundwater samples, the depth to water in the wells was remeasured, as required by the SJCEHD inspector. The purged groundwater was placed a in 55-gallon drum labeled 4
