i 4 Soil borings #1 , 2, 3, & 4, (refer to PLATE VI , ) will be taken as close to the capillary fringe as possible an order to obtain a soil sample If field evidence warrants , a water sample may be taken by use of a hydropunch or similar type device After sampling, each soil boring will be grouted from bottom to the surface with a bentonite/cement slurry as directed by a representative of the County EHD 5 Monitoring wells ##1 , 2, & 3 will be advanced an the same manner as the soil borings, samples taken every 5 ' from 5 ' bgl to the capillary fringe After verifying water depth, each soil boring will be advanced a minimum of 10 feet below the water table 6 Upon reaching the desired depth, 2" blank & slotted, flush screw-thread PVC casing, fitted with a threaded bottom cap, will be run an the hole When bottom as reached, the casing will be pulled up slightly to avoid the possibility of buckling or laying against the side of the hole The annular space between casing and augers will be filled with clean, graded, #2 1/2 or #3 sand The casing will be constantly vibrated during sand placement to eliminate bridging and voids Fill depths will be monitored constantly as the auger flights are slowly withdrawn When sand fall has stabilized, (a minimum of 2 ' above the top of the slots , ) a bentonite seal will be placed, and the annular space filled to the surface with a cement/bentonite slurry Refer to PLATE VII for a schematic of each well completion 7 Each well will be fitted with a precast Christy-type box, with the casing extending into the box far enough to allow placement of a locking cover The casing & box will be thoroughly grouted into place to ensure the integrity of the seal 8 Within 18-24 hours after completion, each well will be developed by use of a hard rubber cup or other suitable device Purge fluids will be placed an suitably marked sealed containers & stored on location pending results of the laboratory analyzes 9 Preserved soil samples will be transported under chain of custody to a State Certified laboratory with instructions to analyze for BTEX (EPA 8020, ) & TPH-G (EPA 8015M, ) using current County approved detection limits 9 As soon as practical after development, each well will be purged, water levels determined, and samples taken per standard WJH field protocol , a copy of which as attached as EXHIBIT D The properly preserved water samples will be transported under 5
