tube was labeled and placed on ice in a sealed chest pending transfer to the laboratory. A portion of the first tube was placed in a one-quart ziplock bag, labeled and set aside for 10-15 minutes to allow any volatile compounds to vaporize The remaining portions of the core were examined and described by the geologist . Unused core material and drill cuttings were placed in metal drums, which were sealed, labeled, and stored on site pending later disposition After 10-15 minutes, the probe of a field calibrated Thermo Environment Instuments Model 850B OVM was inserted into the plastic bag, and a reading taken Cores were taken at 5 ' intervals from 5 ' to 3616" using the same field techniques described above. The first reading on the PID meter was from the cored interval 201 -211611 , but no odor or discoloration was noted Positive FID readings & petroleum odors were recorded in all cores below that depth. The bottom of the last core, (351 -3616" , ) contained sticky blue-gray clay; it had a petroleum odor but no visible discoloration The core barrel was wet, and the blue clay was damp. For complete details of blow . counts, core recovery, lzthologic descriptions, PID readings, and other pertinent information, refer to PLATE VII The auger flights were advanced to 37 , bgl , a tape was run and found water at that depth It had a definite petroleum odor The augers were then advanced to 50 , bgl , and the crew prepared to run casing 2" Schedule 40, blank & slotted flush screw-point PVC was run in the flights to 501 , the bottom 20 ' consisted of horizontal. 020" machine cut slots with a solid screw on plug on the bottom The top of the screen was at 301 , approximately 71 above the water table. From 30 , to the surface was blank #3 Lonstar graded sand was poured down the annular space between the casing and the augers from the surface The casing was continually vibrated during sand placement, and fill was checked with a weighted tape. As the sand filled the annulus, auger flights were slowly withdrawn. A total of 6 1/2 sacks of sand was used, the top was located at 281 , 2 feet above the top of the screened portion. A bucket of bentonite pellets was poured down the annulus on top of the sand; it was wetted with a bucket of water The top of the bentonite seal was located at 251611 , 2 1/21 above the sand pack. The remaining auger flights were withdrawn from the hole, they were covered with sticky, blue-grey clay The top of the hole was covered with a large metal plate pending grouting of all three wells Refer to PLATE X for completion details . • After decontaminating the auger flights & core barrels, the rig 5
