i to 20' ; cuttings consisted of tan to buff silty clay; firm but dry. At 20' , a clean core barrel was inserted, and t��iiole was cored from 20' to 2'. Recovery was 24" of tan to buff dry silty clay. There was no odor or evidence of contamination, and a portion of the core placed in a bag and tested with the PID meter, (same technique as described above, ) did not show any reading. The middle tube was sealed and preserved as detailed above. The core barrel was cleaned and prepared for use. The well was advanced to 30; drill cuttings were tan to buff silty clay. At that depth a clean core barrel was inserted into the flights, and thQ interv&L- '__ was cored as above When the barrel was retrieved and opened, at consisted of 24" of tan to buff, silty clay, with traces of organic material. No odor was noted, and no reading was recorded by the PID meter. The middle tube was sealed and preserved using proper protocol as described above. While the augers were advanced to 40' , the spare core barrel was cleaned and set aside. Drill cuttings consisted of tan to buff silty clay, firm, slightly plastic; no odors were detected. A clean core barrel was inserted into the augers, and a core was taken fropl_4Q'to 42' . Recovery was 24" of tan to buff, silty clay; no odors were noted, and the PID meter did not register when a sample was tested as described above. Drill cuttings and unpreserved core material was placed in metal drums for storage. Augers were advanced to 50' ; cuttings were primarily tan to buff clay as above. A clean barrel was inserted at that depth, and a core war, m Of jig 52' ; recovery was 24" of tan to buff clay, dry, hard, firm. No odors were noted, and no PID reading was recorded A portion of the core was preserved according to standard procedures. Augers were advanced to 60' ; drill cuttings as above.A core was taken from 6Q' to 62' ; recovery was 24" of tan to buff clay, very hard, dry, with some sandy streaks, & occassional pieces of car- bonaceous material There was no visible evidence of contamina- tion, but a faint petroleum odor was noted when the barrel was opened. A PID reading of 12 ppm was observed when a portion of the core was placed in a tightly sealed plastic bag and allowed to set in the sun for several minutes. The middle tube was preserved for future analysis. The auger flights were advanced to 70' , drill cuttings were tan to buff clay as above. At 70' , the bit insert was pulled in order to install the core barrel; it had obvious moisture on it, 8
