mottled appearance due to the presence of'kwhile inclusions & irregular iron staining. A very faint odor was noted when the core barrel was opened; it was not characteristic of petroleum, and a portion of the core materia] was quickly placed in a plas- tic bag & tightly sealed. After setting for 5-10 minutes, the probe of the PID meter was inserted into the bag; no reading was registered The middle tube was promptly sealed by the method described above, labeled, and placed on ice. The augers were advanced to 70' , and when the auger plug was retrieved, the bottom was covered with damp brown clay_ A clean core barrel filled with new brass tubes was lowered into the auguer, and a Gore was taken from 70' to 71' 6" . Recovery consisted of 18" of silty water sand, very fine to medium grained, soft, dark brown in color No odors or "calor" were noted, but a portion of the cored material which was placed in a sealed plastic bag gave a reading of 10 ppm on the PID meter. A tape was run into the augers, and indicated water at 69' . The middle tube of the cored material was sealed as described earlier, & placed on ice. The augers were advanced to 81' preparatory to completing as a • monitoring well. Based upon penetration rate, the lithology changed from sand to clay at about 73' . This was confirmed when the auger flights were pulled. Refer to EXHIBIT XV for a com- plete description of lithology, blow counts & other details. After completion of drilling operations, 4" OD, flush, screw- joint, blank & slotted PVC was run into the hole, with bottom at 81 ' . The bottom 15' was shop perforated with horizontal .02" slots; the rest was blank. The well was completed by the method described earlier for MW-5; details are given on the completion diagram -- EXHIBIT XVII. After placing & locating the bentonite seal, the rest of the auger flights were pulled & decontaminated. The preserved soil samples were again stored in the locked refrigerator in Canteens' warehouse. After cleaning of the flights & drilling equipment, the rig was mobilized on the location marked for MW-7; (refer to PLATE V for details. ) The augers were advanced to 40' , and operations were suspended for the night. Auggst 24, 1994 -- Wm. Hunter, RG, arrived on location at 0750; the crew was making up the core barrel for taking the first core. Core #1 was taken from 40' to 41' 6" ; recovery was 12" of tan to brown dry clay, not friable or plastic. Occasional white mineral inclusions & sand grains. No odor was noted, and a portion screened with the PID meter .read zero. One brass tube was . promptly sealed & preserved on ice. The sampling, testing, & core preservation procedures conformed to those described 8
