i retrieved, placed on a clean working surface on the support truck, and carefully opened by the geologist Recovery was 15" of brown to dark brown clay loam The bottom tube was promptly sealed with teflon tape & plastic end caps, securely wrapped with duct tape, labeled, & placed on ice in a sealed chest pending transport to FGL Environmental for analysis The remaining core material was described, examined for possible contamination, and disposed of in the barrels used to contain the drill cuttings While the second core barrel, (previously cleaned & filled with metal sleeves, ) was being used, the first one was decontaminated with a TSP/water solution rinsed twice with clean water, filled with new metal sleeves, and set aside until needed Additional cores were taken from 101 - 111611 , and 151 - 1616" as described above The cores were examined, logged, and preserved per standard WJH field procedures Refer to PLATE VII for a complete description of blow counts, recovery, lithology, and other pertinent details A weighted tape was lowered into the augers and found water at 1016" The augers were then advanced to 25 ' bgl for completing as a groundwater monitoring well 211 , Sch 40, flush screw-thread PVC casing was assembled and lowered into the auger flights the bottom 20 feet consisted of 3 rows of 020" horizontal machine cut slots with a sold screw-on cap on bottom; the top 5 feet was blank The casing was landed at 25 , bgl, with the top of the screened interval at 5 feet below ground level The annular space between the auger flights & casing was filled with #3 SRI graded gravel which was poured from the surface. The casing was continually vibrated during place- ment to prevent the possibility of bridging The depth of the gravel was checked with a weighted tape, as the annular space filled, auger flights were withdrawn from the hole A total of 8 sacks of sand was used to fill the annulus When the sand pack had reached 3 1/2 feet, 1/2 bag of bentonite pellets was poured down the annulus and located at 2 feet below grade It was wetted with approximately 2 gallons of water The hole was covered with a metal drum awaiting grouting at the completion of operations Refer to PLATE VILA for a schematic diagram of completion details The rig was moved to the location marked for monitoring well #3 as shown on PLATE VI After cutting through the asphalt, drilling began at 1035 hours, surface sediments consisted primarily of tan to light brown clay loam. At a depth of 5 feet, the blanking plug was retrieved, and a decontaminated core barrel filled with clean metal sleeves was lowered into the auger flight • and driven from 5 ' to 616" with the drive hammer, blow counts 5 I
