bottom tube were carefully sealed with tef lon tape & plastic ' caps, and then thoroughly wrapped with duct tape. The tube was labeled and placed on ice in a sealed chest pending transfer to the laboratory. The remaining brass tubes, as well as the drill cuttings, were placed in metal drums for future disposal. ' The auger flights were advanced to 10' , and the split spoon sampler, which had been thoroughly cleaned with TSP & clean ' water, was filled with 3 clean brass tubes and placed in the auger_ The core barrel was driven to 11' 6" with blow counts of 11-20-20. Recovery was 15" , and consisted of tan to buff colored sandy clay. No odor or visible contamination was observed. The ' bottom tube was sealed and preserved in the same manner as the first core, according to standard protocol. ' The well was advanced to 15' , where the core barrel was inserted into the flights, and was driven from 15' to 16' 6" with blow counts of 6-8-9. When the sampler barrel was opened, a slight petroleum odor was noted. Recovery was 15" , and consisted of tan to grey, soft, loose, clayey sand, fine to medium--grained; the darker gray color appeared to be due to contamination. The bottom tube was sealed and preserved as described earlier. The well was advanced to 20' , a clean core barrel was inserted, and the interval from 20' to 2116' was cored with blow counts of 6-9-10 . Full recovery was noted; the core consisted of soft, clayey, very fine to fine-grained sand, gray to dark gray in color, with an "old" (degraded gasoline, ) odor. The darker color ' noted in the core may have been due to contamination. The bottom tube was sealed and preserved using standard protocol; the remaining tubes were emptied into the drum used for storing drill ' cuttings. The well was then advanced to 25' ; cuttings consisted of brown clay and soft, moist sands, indicating penetration of the water ' table A core was taken from 25' -2616" with blow counts of 10--22-40. Recovery was 18" of gray clay grading to very soft, loose, fine to medium-grained, gray water sand There was no detectable odor or evidence of staining, and a sample placed in ' clean water did not produce a sheen or "rainbow" on the surface. The bottom tube was sealed and preserved as described above. ' Prior to continuing drilling, a tape was lowered into the hole, and indicated a water level of 23' 10" . The hole was then advanced to 34' ; drill cuttings consisted of "water sand. " After ' verifying depth measurements, flights were pulled preparatory to placing casing in the hole. The bottom 2 to 3' of the last auger flight was covered with a dark bluish-black, very sticky plastic 5
