were 1-2-2 The core barrel was retrieved, placed on a clean work surface and the core head removed The barrel was opened and the metal tubes were carefully placed on a clean surface by the geologist, Wm Hunter Recovery consisted of 15" of dark brown wet clay, grading to fine to-medium grained sand The middle tube was promptly sealed by covering the ends with teflon tape & plastic end caps & wrapping with duct tape The tube was labeled and placed on ice The remaining core material was described and closely examined, and then placed in the metal drum with the drill cuttings While the geologist was describing and pre- serving the core, the other core barrel was cleaned and filled with metal sleeves, and set aside until needed Additional cores were taken from 1010" - 111611 , and 151011- 1616" using the same procedure as described earlier The cores were examined, logged, and preserved per standard WJH field proce- dures Refer to PLATE VIII for a complete description of blow counts, recovery, lathology, and other pertinent details The augers were then advanced to 25 ' bgl preparatory to running casing 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 solid 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 The depth of the gravel was checked with a weighted tape, as the annular space filled, auger flights were withdrawn from the hole.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 casing & hole were covered awaiting grouting at the completion of operations Refer to PLATE VIIIA for a schematic diagram of completion details While the rig was relocated to the site for monitoring well #1, (see PLATE VI, ) the previously used auger flights were decontami- nated After cutting through the asphalt, drilling commenced at 1158 hours using clean augers Surface sediments consisted of sandy clay grading to sticky black clay loam At a depth of 5 feet, the drill plug was removed and a clean core barrel was lowered into the augers It was driven from 5 ' bgl to 6161" with • the drive hammer, blow counts were 7-12-17 The core barrel was 6
