a length of 2" slotted PVC well screen was placed in the hale to allow the collection of a water sample. After cleaning all of the equipment, rotary hammer was positioned over Auger Hole "D" , at the northwest end of the garage, about 25 ' feet east of Trench #4; see Plate VII for details. A 2" hole was advanced with the rotary hammer; soils encountered were primarily sandy clay, with some thin layers of sticky clay. The hole ' became damp near bottom, but water did not enter the hole. Boring continued to a depth of 7 ' , where a soil sample was taken using a clean brass tube placed in the sample sleeve holder which had been thoroughly steam cleaned prior to use. No odors or ' evidence of contamination were noted. At the completion of boring operations, water samples were ' collected from auger holes "H" , "E" , 11F118c aG" by lowering disposable teflon bailers inside the well screens and placing the water in clean, properly prepared glass vials. The vials were ' placed on ace with the previously collected brass tubes and were transported to the laboratory under proper chain of custody; (refer to Exhibit J, which also includes copies of the laboratory worksheets) . Upon completion of augerxng and sampling, all holes were filled with cement to the surface under the supervision of Mr. M. Inferna of the EHD. ' WORK DONE UNDER SECOND ADDENDUM TO WORKPLAN DATED JAM. 31 1992 A review of the laboratory analysis done on the above samples, (see Table III , ) showed that the limits of contamination had been ' determined to the northwest, north, northeast, and east of the site of the removed UST. However, measureabla amounts of Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene, and TPH-G were detected in the ' soil sample from Auger Hole "A" , west of the LUST site, and in the water sample obtained from Auger Hole '=B". All other samples taken were below detection levels. ' In order to further define the lateral extent of the contamination, it was proposed to hand-auger additional borings to the west, south, and southeast; a copy of that Addendum is ' included as Exhibit K. Work began on January 16, 1992, using Del-Tech Geotechnical ' Services equipment and personel under the supervision of Wirt. Hunter, RG. Auger Hale "B-1" was measured off 20 feet due south of Auger Hole "B" , which was placed during the work performed on Nov. 21 , 1991; refer to Plate VII for its ' location in reference ' to prior work. A 3 1/4" hand-auger was used to advance the bearing; details of sediments penetrated are shown on Plot 3C and 7 1
