Performed EM geophysical survey on February 3.  Found no geophysical anomalies.

1995

February

Drilled three soil borings (SB1-3) between February 23 and 27, and collected soil/rock samples.  The chromium concentration in one sample slightly exceeded the background concentration.  Phthalates were detected in every sample.  Results are summarized in Table B19-1.
