Description
Grab sample of "native" soil from vacant lot east of the
O'Henry Cleaners facility. The top 19" of soil was removed
with dedicated stainless steel hand auger and the sample
collected with a dedicated plastic scoop and placed in a 32-
oz glass jar. Small rocks and pebbles in the 32-oz jar were
removed with a small dedicated plastic spoon and the re-
maining soil was thoroughly mixed and transferred to an 8-
oz glass jar. Sample to be analyzed for total organic carbon.
Shipped as environmental sample.

Description
Grab sample from soil east of the Laga Building. Collected
from the discharge point of a sink located inside the paint
storage room. The overlying water was removed and the
sampling location screened with the OVA obtaining read-
ings of 30 units. The top 1/4" of soil was removed with a
dedicated garden trowel and the sample collected with a
dedicated plastic scoop and placed in a dedicated stainless
steel bowl. After filling the two 40-mL VOA vials, the soil
in the bowl was thoroughly mixed and transferred to a 32-
oz glass jar. Sample to be analyzed for volatile and semivo-
latile organics. Shipped as dangerous goods (Solid contain-
ing flammable liquid, n.o.s. (benzene); UN 3175)
Grab sample from soil east of the Laga Building. Collected
from a low area where water discharged from a sink located
inside the paint storage room accumulates. Sampling loca-
tion was screened with the OVA obtaining readings not
different than background levels (0.2 unit). The top 4" of
soil was removed with dedicated garden trowel and the
sample collected with a dedicated plastic scoop and placed
in a dedicated stainless steel bowl. After filling the two
40-mL VOA vials, the soil in the bowl was thoroughly
mixed and transferred to a 32-oz glass jar. Sample to be
analyzed for volatile and semivolatile organics. Shipped as
environmental sample.
Grab sample from soil east of the Laga Building. Collected
from a shallow ditch where water discharged from a sink
located inside the paint storage room flows. Sampling loca-
tion was screened with the OVA obtaining readings not
different than background levels (0.2 unit). The top 4" of
soil was removed with dedicated garden trowel and the
sample collected with a dedicated plastic scoop and placed
in a dedicated stainless steel bowl. After filling the two
40-mL VOA vials, the soil in the bowl was thoroughly
mixed and transferred to a 32-oz glass jar. Sample to be
analyzed for volatile and semivolatile organics. Shipped as
environmental sample.
Composite sample of two holes in the concrete floor of the
plumbing shop. Holes are I- 1/2" diameter and approxi-
mately 4" deep with a hard bottom. PID monitoring of the
holes conducted on 21 November gave readings between 50
and 130 units. The oil in the holes was initially collected
with a dedicated 40-mL syringe but it broke during sam-
pling and a dedicated thin glass tube was used to collect the
remaining oil. Oil was placed in sampling jars as it was
being collected. Oil in the holes was only sufficient to fill
two 40-mL VOA vials. No more sample was available.
Sample to be analyzed for volatile and semivolatile
organics. Shipped as dangerous goods (Flammable liquid,
n.o.s. (benzene); UN 1993).

Description
Grab sample from soil north of the Laga Building. Collect-
ed at 33'2" from the sink outside the north face of the
building. Prior to sampling, the location was screened with
the organic vapor analyzer (OVA) obtaining readings of >10
units while the photoionization detector (PID) gave approx-
imately 8 units. The top 24" of soil was removed with
dedicated stainless steel hand auger and the sample collect-
ed with a dedicated plastic scoop and placed in a dedicated
stainless steel bowl. After filling the two 40-mL VOA
vials, the soil in the bowl was thoroughly mixed and trans-
ferred to a 32-oz glass jar. Sample to be analyzed for
volatile and semivolatile organics. Shipped as dangerous
goods (Solid containing flammable liquid, n.o.s. (benzene);
UN 3 175).

NOTE: 
Samples delivered to Fed Ex 7 December 1994 at approximately 1710 hrs, however,
due to internal delays, did not leave St. Thomas that night. To keep the samples
cool, the sampling team replaced the ice bags with newly packed bags on the
afternoon of 8 December. The samples left St. Thomas the night of 8 December.
All samples, except TWS-06, were delivered to the lab by Fed Ex on 12 December
1994. Sample TWS-06 was lost in transit and delivered on 14 December 1994.
A Fed Ex report on shipping delays and mishandling will be provided under
separate cover.
