The USDA soil survey for this area (Soil Survey, Orange County and <br />Western Riverside County, 1978) indicates that the soil types present in the site vicinity are <br />primarily San Emigdio series soils. San Emigdio series consists of well-drained soils on flood <br />plains and alluvial fans that formed in mixed alluvium. <br /> <br />Regional Groundwater Occurrence and Duality <br /> <br />'-~'"l <br /> <br />According to the Orange County Water District Groundwater Contour Map (November 1994), <br />groundwater in the vicinity of the site is approximately 50 feet above mean sea level. This <br />corresponds to a depth of 140 feet below grade. A review of the State of California Geotracker <br />website shows depth to water in this area to be approximately 110 feet below grade. <br /> <br />METHODOLOGY <br /> <br />HAND AUGER SAMPLING <br /> <br />Eight hand auger borings were advanced at the locations shown in Figure 2. The borings were <br />advanced to a maximum depth of 3 feet below grade. Five soil samples were collected from each <br />boring at depths of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5,2 and 3 feet below grade. A total of 40 soil samples were <br />collected during this assessment. <br /> <br />The borings were advanced using a 4-inch diameter, stainless-steel hand auger. At the <br />designated sampling depth, a soil sample was collected directly from the hand auger and put into <br />a 4 ounce glass jar. Samples were labeled and stored in a cooler with blue ice pending delivery <br />to the analytical laboratory. The borings were backfilled with the cuttings. The sampling <br />equipment was decontaminated between uses by washing with a non-phosphate solution <br />followed by a potable water rinse. <br /> <br />LABORATORY ANALYSIS <br /> <br />The soil samples were transported to American Scientific Laboratories of Los Angeles, <br />California under chain-of-custody documentation. Initially, 16 soil samples (from depths of 0.5 <br />and 1 foot below grade) were tested for chlorinated pesticides by EP A Method 8081 A and for <br />Title 22 metals by EP A method 6010B and 7471A.
