Once <br /> the sand pack at the base of the borehole was in place, a 1/4-inch diameter, 2-inch-long <br /> polyethylene soil-vapor implant and approximately 17 feet of inch Teflon® tubing were <br /> lowered to the bottom of the boring. <br /> Once the sand, tubing and vapor implant were in place, filter pack of #2/12 sand was <br /> added from the bottom of the borehole to approximately 14 feet bsg. Following placement <br /> of the filter pack, approximately one foot of dry-granulated bentonite was placed atop of <br /> the filter pack from 13 to 14 feet bsg. Thereafter, granulated bentonite was hydrated to a <br /> depth of 10 feet bsg for the start of the second soil-vapor sampling point. <br /> The second implant was installed by placing #2/12 sand was placed atop the bentonite <br /> to a depth of 9.75 to 10 feet bsg. Once the sand pack at the base of the borehole was in <br /> place, a '/4-inch diameter, 2-inch-long polyethylene soil-vapor implant and approximately <br /> 12 feet of inch Teflon®tubing were lowered to the bottom of the boring. Once the sand, <br /> tubing, and vapor implant were in place, filter pack of #2/12 sand was added from the <br /> bottom of the borehole to approximately 9 feet bsg. Following placement of the filter pack, <br /> approximately one foot of dry-granulated bentonite was placed atop of the filter pack from <br /> 8 to 9 feet bsg. Thereafter, granulated bentonite was hydrated to a depth of 5 feet bsg for <br /> the start of the third soil-vapor sampling point. <br /> Once the bentonite reached the desired depth of 5 feet bsg the third implant was installed <br /> by placing #2/12 sand was placed atop the bentonite to a depth of 4.75 to 5 feet bsg. <br /> Once the sand pack at the base of the borehole was in place, a '/4-inch diameter, 2-inch- <br /> long polyethylene soil-vapor implant and approximately 7 feet of '/4 inch Teflon® tubing <br /> were lowered to the bottom of the boring. Once the sand, tubing, and vapor implant were <br /> in place, filter pack of #2/12 sand was added from the bottom of the borehole to <br /> approximately 4 feet bsg. Following placement of the filter pack, approximately one foot <br /> of dry-granulated bentonite was placed atop of the filter pack from 3 to 4 feet bsg. <br /> Thereafter, granulated bentonite was hydrated to near surface grade to seal the borehole <br /> from ambient air intrusion. <br /> Following a minimum of two-hours (direct push borings) or 48-hours (hand auger borings <br /> on interior of building) of equalization, a pump calibrated to 200 milliliters per minute <br /> (ml/m) was used to purge each sampling point. A total of three pre-calculated volumes <br /> were removed from each sampling point prior to sample collection. Field sampling sheets <br /> documenting the purging times and volumes are included in Appendix A. <br /> Once purging was completed, one-liter Summa canisters, with attached flow restrictors <br /> calibrated to 150 to 200 milliliters per minute (ml/min), were connected to the '/4-inch <br /> Teflon® tubing from the vapor well and the canister was opened. Thereafter, each soil- <br /> vapor sampling point was isolated from ambient air by enclosing the soil-vapor point, <br /> tubing, and canister assembly in a plastic shroud. Helium gas was infused into the shroud <br /> and was measured using a helium meter to verify that an 18 to 25% concentration of <br /> helium was introduced and maintained in the shroud. The initial pressure and time were <br /> recorded on soil-vapor sampling field logs (Appendix A). The sample canister valves were <br />
