sampling tube and brass liners were washed in a mixture of Iaqui-Nox or Alconox and clear water, rinsed in clear water, rinsed in deioruzed water, and allowed to air dry between each sampling interval This prevented the chance of any cross contarrunatxon occumng between i boreholes Soil samples were collected for laboratory analyses by advancing the borehole to the desired sampling increment, removing the auger plug, and lowering the modified California sampler through the auger The sampler was then advanced ahead of the auger using either a hydraulic drive or a 140-pound hammer The sampler was then removed from the borehole and broken down into its component parts The brass liners, now full of soil, were removed The lead brass liner, in most cases, was used for laboratory analyses The ends were covered with Teflon sheeting, capped with plastic caps, and sealed with black electrical tape The samples were then labeled, logged on a chain-of-custody/sample management form, placed in an ice chest with Blue Ice, and kept cool for transport to AEMC's state certified laboratory for analyses. The contents of the remaining tubes were l� checked for odor and discoloration, and extruded and logged for changes in soil hthology All boreholes were pressure grouted upon completion Table 4 on page 17 presents a summary of the results of soil sample analyses GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS Groundwater was encountered while drilling the exploratory well at a depth of 43 5 feet. Water rose to 39 5 feet approximately thirty minutes after the water-bearing stratum was penetrated, indicating that groundwater conditions are confined. Water-saturated sands were found at 30 feet and at 36 feet, although this was considered perched water. Groundwater was encountered while drilling SB-4 at a depth of 41 feet 1 r1f�o6(�2-,7 Page 16 i
