hydrated Bentonite seal which held water for 15 to 20 minutes Placed above the sand. The remaining portion of the well was filled with a concrete seal and a "stove-pipe" installed. A locking cap with lock was placed in the casing to avoid surface contamination to groundwater. For Boring MW-2 , the first 6 feet was medium brown silt both loose and dry, then brown silty clay, with gray mottling and moist with organic matter, rootlets, for the next 5 feet. From approximately 11 to 16 feet dark gray silt with fine sand, micaous, moist to wet with lenses of dark brown coarse sand. At approximately 16 feet to 20 feet, the material was similar to the prior description with locally a silty sand. A slight hydrocarbon odor was observed from approximately 10 feet to 20 feet. At approximately 20 feet the boring was terminated. Flowing sands were encountered with sand rising to sixteen feet. Redrilling using a wooden plug was completed to hold back the flowing sands. Fifteen feet of 0. 01 inch screened 2--inch--diameter, Schedule 40 PVC casing was placed at the bottom of well MW-1. The remainder of the well was constructed using regular 2-inch--diameter, Schedule 40 PVC casing. Sixteen feet of #2-16 Lonestar Sand was used for the filter pack with a one foot doubly hydrated Bentonite seal which held water for 15 to 20 minutes placed above the sand. The remaining portion of the well was filled with a concrete seal and a "stove-pipe" installed. A locking cap with lock was placed in the casing to avoid surface contamination to groundwater. • For Boring MW-3 , the first 5 feet was medium brown silty dry clay, then gray silty sand, with brow mottling, micaous and moist with organic matter, rootlets, for the next 5 feet. From approximately 10 to 15 feet gray sandy clay, moist to wet with lenses of dark brown coarse sand. At approximately 16 feet to 20 feet, the material was similar to the prior material with locally dark gray coarse grained subrounded to subangular sand. A very slight hydrocarbon odor was observed from approximately 10 feet to 20 feet. At approximately 20 feet the boring was terminated. Flowing sands were encountered with sand rising to sixteen feet. Redrilling using a wooden plug was completed to hold back the flowing sands. Fifteen feet of 0. 01 inch screened 2-inch-diameter, Schedule 40 PVC casing was placed at the bottom of well MW-1. The remainder of the well was constructed using regular 2-inch-diameter, Schedule 40 PVC casing. Sixteen feet of #2-16 Lonestar Sand was used for the filter pack with a one foot doubly hydrated Bentonite seal which held water for 15 to 20 minutes placed above the sand. The remaining portion of the well was filled with a concrete seal and a "stove-pipe" installed. A locking cap with lock was placed in the casing to avoid surface contamination to groundwater. The location of the three wells is shown in Figure 2 . 4
