Both chests had "blue ice" , however, they had not maintained a proper temperature so crushed ice was purchased and placed in both coolers . A thermometer was used to check and control box temperature during and after collection JTO equipment for excavating and moving soil was already on site when Dennis R Allen, ( WJH) , R Thorpe , (JTO) , Anne Dito , land owner representative and M Infurna, (San Joaquin PHS/EHD) arrived on site about 9 20 AM FARM WATER WELLS The farm water well adjacent to the excavation site (21 ' away) is herein designated WW #1 , the farm well located across the drive way (541away) on the adjacent property is designated as WW # 2 The relative location of the surface appurtenances can be seen in the JTO proposal (Attachment No 1 ) During the commencement of digging, two vial samples and one liter sample of water were taken from WW # 1 . A small spigot was located on top of the well it was cleaned with alcohol pads supplied by M Infurna and allowed to run for several minutes prior to sampling The total sampling process took about 1/2 hour owing to automatic cycling of the pump The spigot was not pressurized except when the well pump was operating This mechanical process assured that the water . sampled was coming directly from the well At a later time , WW # 2 was sampled from a house spigot about 100 ' from the well . A small spigot was located on top of this well also, however, no water could be obtained from it The house spigot was cleaned as noted above and run for two minutes before taking the sample This spigot had been running intermittently for several hours prior to taking the sample in an effort to wet down dust being stirred by the spoil being moved and stored Owing to the proximity of the wells to the excavation (where an old cesspool had been uncovered as will be detailed later herein) , the well samples were labeled for testing as follows BTEX, 0 & G, EDB and coliform Bacteria (at the request of M Infurna) On August 13, 1991 R Thorpe called D Allen and stated that the laboratory required additional sampling for the coliform tests It was agreed that R Thorpe and a laboratory technician from Weston Analytical Lab would collect additional water samples from the two wells These additional samples were collected on 8/13/91 Both samples were collected from the spigots at the pump head. As shown on the attached c. 0 C record, these samples were preserved • using various preservatives for different samples All sample equipment was supplied by Weston Lab, the samples 4
