It should be noted that Figure 1 also contain the proposed sampling locations within the Town of Marblehead walldng hail. fill samples will be analyzed at the laboratory following EPA and Ameciwm Society for Testing Md Materials(AgM approved Mabtieal methods and/or ptotxdtaes. The following sections outline each of the proposed sampling activities. Task 01—Shallow SOB Sampling Shallow soil samples am propose.d,to be collected at four(4)locations within the subject parcels (SS-44 though SS-47,refer to Figures 1). AU soil samples wt'll be coUccteAwith a stainless steel hand auger from depths up to two feet below ground surface in order to assess neer surface impacts. .All soil samples will be homogenized prior to filling sample ja:s by placing the soils mto a stainless steel mixing bowl,removing all twigs,mels,and other debris,quartering,mixing and rolling the soils and then transferring the soils to The appmpme laboratory-supplied jar_ Following sample collection, the samples will be placed on ice and submitted to the laboratory Sao Wastdngton Sheet.Suae 225 • DedtWp,.rdagaecta eds 0*M .,781-251 t 781 251.0847(Pa7d . 7-0OD4466fi78 ■awMcwoe481dartra+toin _08/08/2001 15:33 FAX 1 617 720 2320 HeROBERTS & ROBERTS UP . . 140O6'17 WOODi�4CLIOd 881.06/2801 09 : w Y1IV ..—p.�_�_ VI..

Ia addition to the shallow soil samples, tbtre composite beach samples (BS-11 through BS-13) will be collected from the upper OS feet of the beach face area located on the western side of the Forest River(refer to Figure 1). This area represents the intertidal portion of the property(area between high and low tide). These composite samples will be collected from up to five sample locations within the composite area(noted as dashed lines on Figure 1).

The well point will be consauoted of 1.25-inch ID, Schedule 40, threaded, flush jointed, PVC riser pipe, with 0.010-inch(10 slot) factory slotted, 1.25-inch ID, Schedule 40,threaded, flush- jointed,PVC well screen. The well semen depth and lengths will be determined in the fieidbased on ihe depth to water With the well screen in position, a clean silica and filter pack will be imsUned in the annular space from die bonom of the borehole to a minimum of one foot above the top of the well screen. A bentonite seal(I to 3 feet thick)Will be placed above the filter pack, followed by a cemeavbentow Hite shiny grout to withvt a flew feet of the ground sutthee. The monitoring wells will be completed with a concrete pad and a stickup protective steel casing The monitoring well identification number will be marked on the outside and inside lid of the protective casing. Task#3—Groundwater Sanop4e Collection Following well point installation, a groundwater sample will be collected using low flaw and filtering techniques and submitted to the laboratory (Resource Laboratories–Portsmouth, M for total and dissolved lead analysis by Method 6010B to provide sufficient information to investigate whether a release of dissolved lead to groundwater is evident Purge water generated as a result of groundwater sampling will be disposed of in accordance with the applicable provisions of the MCP. 08/09/2001 15:34 FAX 1 817 720 2320 ' McRUBERTS & ROBERTS LLP —= f6t86T2881 89:17 978-657-N44bry ft1007 ��(/'�MAQD j��r' fPP/�A' .._... rte oq: Engineering Science•Operations This scope of work has been reviewed and approved by the Liceaeed Site Profemosrsl of record, Jobn A.
