r r cross--section C-D. A soil sample was taken at 12 ' using a Glean r brass tube contained in a properly prepared sample holder. It was promptly sealed, labeled and refrigerated pending transfer to the laboratory for analysis. The sample was very moist Sticky clay; no odor or evidence of contamination was noted. Water r began entering the hole as augering continued to a depth of 13'411, where a sandy clay was encountered. After completion of the boring, a 2" slotted well screen was plated in the hole to enable a water sample to be obtained. Water was located at about 11 feet after standing. Using a steel tape, a spot was measured 20 ' east of Auger Hole ' "D"; it is identified as Auger Hole "D--311 ; see Plate VII. After thoroughly steam-cleaning the hand-auger, rod extensions and sample holder, the boring was advanced to 11 '01, , at which point a ' soil sample was obtained using the method described above. It consisted of wet sandy clay; no odors or staining were noted. The hole was deepened to 11 '6" , and water was noted entering the ' hole. It was not passible to place a well screen in the hole because it was too short and could not be easily retrieved. Since there was no indication that the hole was sloughing or caving, it was left open pending obtaining a water sample. Plot 3-E shows the sediments penetrated. A location was measured 20 feet to the west of Auger Hale "D"; ' (see Plate VII , ) and after thoroughly steam cleaning all equipment, Auger Hole "B-2" was advanced with the hand auger to a depth of 11 '3, where a soil sample was obtained. It consisted of very wet sandy clay; no odors or discoloration was noted in the ' sample, but while augering below 10' a slight, fleeting petroleum odor was noted. After completion of boring, the hole was left to stabilize for collecting a water sample. ' The auger2ng equipment was thoroughly steam cleaned , and boring commenced at a site 27 feet southeast of Auger Hole "A" and ib ' feet north of the existing barn; it is identified as Auger Hole "A-3" , and its ' location in relation to other borings is shown on Plate VII. Sandy loam was penetrated from surface to 3 feet, changing to a tars to brown, sticky clay. At a depth of 7 ' a lens ' of bluish-gray to dark gray sticky, very plastic clay was encountered, whish had a definite petroleum odor and visable staining. A sample was placed in a sealed plastic tube and a r reading of 28-30 ppmv was noted from the cold sample using the PID meter. A soil sample was taken at that depth by driving a 2" OD brass tube into the bottom of the hole. It was promptly ' sealed, labeled as A-3, and preserved an ice. Auger2ng continued, encountering tan to brown clay which became 8 1
