ground level , it is felt that further excavation of the site of the UST is not a viable option at this time. The water quality is already highly degraded by salts and other substances, and breaching the water- table by removing additional spoil may exacerbate the situation. It is believed that hand--augered borings offer the best and most cost-effective method of determining the extend of the contamination. 1. Using a 4" hand auger, auger to a depth of approximately 10 feet, or into the capillary fringe or transition zone. Soil samples are to be collected from the teeth of the auger at 5' & 10 ' , or total augered depth; the bottom sail sample to be taken from the transition zone if passible. Auger hole are to be located approximately as shown on Plate VII . 2. The soil samples will be collected by the geologist in properly prepared brass tubes supplied by FOL Environmental , sealed, labeled and placed on ice pending transfer to the lab for analysis. The auger will be thoroughly cleaned between each run by rinsing with TSP and then clean water. Samples will be transported to the lab under propel~ chain of custody, and analyzed for bTEK, TPH-G, and soluble lead. 3. Every effort will be made to avoid penetrating the water table. 4. All auger holes will be filled with grout immediately following final sampling. Removed spoils will be placed in properly labeled and sealed drums, and stored on site pending final completion of the project. A Health and safety plan is attached as Exhibit D. Further investigative or remedial work will be proposed after reviewing the results of the laboratory analyzes of the soil samples. Your prompt review and response to this workplan will be greatly appreciated; our client is currently marketing the property for sale, and wishes to have this matter resolved as quickly as possible.
