Sur+ace-6" : Sandv loam. 6"-rte '. . fairly clayey loam, +axrly dry , t irm, grading to brownish-gray towards the east end of the pit. 6 -bottom: Sandy, clayey silts , buff to tan , with occassional pods and irregular shaped inclusions of brownish clay. No continous, uniform beds were noted , and the sediments were firm and well compacted; there was no evidence of slumping or caving. Refer to Plate XI for photos of the excavation. The SJLHD representative, Mr . knoll , arrived at approximately l : (_)(:)PM, and after some discussion , it was agreed to take a total of 7 samples-2 from the bottom, and S si dewal l s. Refer to Plates IX & X for the appro,:i mate location of the samples. A Thorpe Oil Co. employee was lowered to the bottom of the excavation in the backhoe bucket. Using properly cleaned and sealed brass tubes supplied by FGL. Environmental personel , he took two samples at each of the locations indicated by Mr . FnolI & Mr. Hunter . The samples were qui.ci, ly returned to the surface, properly sealed , labeled , and refrigerated. They were transported to the laboratory under- Chain--(:)+-Custody; (refer to E..hiblt H. ) A faint gasolone odor was noted in some of the samples , but no free product was observed. Composite samples were also taken by FGL Environmental from the spoil , to assist in evaluating remediation techniques if needed. See Plate III for the results of that analysis. The e •cavation was securely fenced and the spoil was covered with plastic. RESULTS OF SAMPLE ANALYSIS rhe results of the laboratory anlysis performed on the above samples from the excavation are tabulated on Table II . The analysis revealed that the .w. sidewall samples on the northeast , east , and soLttheast side of till pit were clean. Very small amounts of BTX&E were measured in the two bottom samples; TFH-G was detected in only one sample, ( SW-^W. ) Neither Ethylene Dibromide nor organic lead were detected at reporting limits in any of the samples. However , samples No. SW-2W & SW-314, (refer to Plates IX X, ) indicate that contamination has not been removed in that area, and will require further cleanup . Although the composite samples of the spoil taken on 1/19/9(:) showed detectable levels of DTX&E and TPH-G, EDB was below the reporting limit of . 010 mg/[,q. The test for lead was not run. The composite samples taken from the spoil at the conclusion of the excavation 4
