Using a 100' tape, the locations of Auger Holes "E" & "F" were measured & marked by Mr. Hunter & Ramero. Using the hand-auger, Mr. Ramero began boring at Auger Hole "E", located about 100 feet northeast of the site of the removed UST; (see Plate VII. ) Soils consisted of tan to gray sandy clay-loam, with occasional thin beds of sticky clay. The soil became very wet at 6 '6" , where a sample was taken by driving the tube holder containing a clean brass tube into the bottom of the hale. The boring was advanced to 7 '6" , where another soil sample was taken using the same technique; (equipment was cleaned prior to sampling. ) The sample consisted of very wet clayey sand- there was no odor or ' contamination noted. A clean section of slotted 2" PVC well screen was placed in the hole to enable obtaining a water sample after stabilization. Refer to Plot 2F for additional detail . After thoroughly steam cleaning all equipment, Mr. Ramero began work at Auger Hole "F" , which had previously been marked; (see Exhibit VII for location. ) The boring was advanced using the 3 1/4" hand auger; soils penetrated were primarily sandy clay loam, tan to buff , with occasional streaks of gray clay_ At 6'6" moisture was encountered, and a soil sample, (clayey moist sand, ) was taken by driving a clean, 2" brass tube into the bottom using the tube holder. No odor or evidence of contamination was noted, and no reading was recorded when a sample was measured with the ' PID meter. Augering continued to 7 '611 , at which point water began entering the hole. The boring was continued to 8'0" , and bottomed in soft, loose, tan to buff , wet sandy clay, with some very thin beds of tan to gray clay. Due to the wetness of the soil , a sample could not be taken. A joint of 2" slotted PVC was placed in the hole to allow collecting a water sample. ' The power rotary hammer & equipment were positioned over Auger Hole "C" , located in the driveway southwest of the garage; (see Plate VII. ) The boring was advanced to a depth of 13 feet, and water was encountered at about 8' . Below 6 feet, the soil was primarily tan to brown , very sticky adobe clay, refer to Plot 2D for more details. No odors or evidence of contamination were noted. Because of the moisture and the nature of the clay, it ' was not possible to obtain a soil sample. Auger Hole "G" (see Plate VII , ) was advanced to 10 feet using the hand-auger, which had been thoroughly steam cleaned prior to use. Soils were predominantly clayey sand and sandy clay loam, tan to brown, loose, and damp. A soil sample was taken at 6 '6" as the ' hole was deepened, using the same procedure as the previous boring. Water was encountered at about 7 ' ; no odors or discoloration of soils was noted. Upon completion of the boring, 6
