WE <br /> at 9:40 AM. The railroad tracks that had been left in place <br /> during the prior excavation had been removed to permit <br /> excavating the hole to an approximate 15' wide, 15' deep and <br /> 20' long as proposed in attachment # 2. <br /> Soils were described by Dennis R. Allen and all samples were <br /> collected by him as excavating progressed. Figure 1 of this <br /> report shows the location of the excavation and the <br /> approximate positions where the samples were collected. <br /> while excavating, two pipelines were found, a water line at <br /> the roadside of the excavation and a sewer line at the <br /> loactions <br /> re <br /> thedlackdofkalignmenttof theesurfaceafeaturesstogowing to <br /> North. <br /> Neither line was damaged during excavation; however, the <br /> size of the excavation had to be reduced to about 11 '-12' <br /> wide. Figure # 2 is a cross section across the excavation, <br /> showing the site and depth of the pit and slumping of the <br /> sidewall that occurred after sampling had been completed. <br /> All samples were collected from the back hoe scoop bucket by <br /> pushing a brass tube into representative soil from the depth <br /> and location noted. The sample tube ends were covered with <br /> the Teflon cloth, capped with plastic end caps, sealed with <br /> and placed in the <br /> duct tape, labeled with location and time <br /> cooler for delivery to FGL Laboratories. <br /> When digging at about 13' below ground level , water <br /> commenced oozing into the hole, Digging was ceased at this <br /> point and bottom samples of soil were collected as above. <br /> When about 6" of water had entered the excavation at the low <br /> spots, a sample was obtained by tying a clean coffee can on <br /> a rope and lowering it into the hole. The can was retrieved <br /> and water samples were poured into 40m1 glass vials, checked <br /> h <br /> for head bubbles, sealed, labeled and placed in the cooler. <br /> All spoil was placed on plastic sheeting, on top of the <br /> degraded asphalt surface between the excavation and Port <br /> Road # 5. <br /> Three soil samples of the spoil were then collected about 3 <br /> feet from bottom and at 120 degree intervals around the <br /> spoil pile for use in determining disposition of the spoil . <br /> These samples were collected as described above. The spoil <br /> pile is not shown on the included figures but it is located <br /> about where the enlarged diagram of the excavation shown <br /> on 'Figure # I . It will either be disposed of in a proper <br /> class dump sits or placed back in the hole,the <br /> upon <br /> test results. This work will be done by <br /> Port of <br /> Stockton. <br /> 3 <br />
