February

Drilled three soil borings (SB1-SB3) on Feb. 21 and 22 and collected soil/rock samples. Phthalates were detected in each of the borings; however, SVOC results were rejected due to deficiencies in quality control criteria. Results are summarized in Table B1-1. Metals concentrations were below the background levels.
