Environmental Services Supporting Soil Sampling and Analysis – Calumet Country Club, 2136 175th Street, Homewood, Cook County, Illinois
Dear Mr. Walker: At your request, ECS Midwest, LLC (ECS) was retained to perform an environmental soil analysis of the soil associated with the planned construction at the subject property. It is our understanding that the proposed construction activities will result in removal and disposal of excavation soils. To evaluate disposal options for the excavated soils, ECS performed a broad screening soil sampling and analysis as described below. 1.0
SOIL SAMPLING & ANALYSIS
1.1
Soil Sampling
In order to characterize the onsite soils slated for off-site disposal, ECS collected two soil samples from two geotechnical borings advanced within the anticipated excavation area (B-2 and S-2). Note that the soil samples collected for analysis were collected from the geotechnical borings and associated depth intervals (approximately 1-4 feet bgs) with the greatest potential for possible impacts (visual, olfactory, PID readings, etc.). ECS then placed the materials into appropriate sampling containers supplied by the laboratory, and delivered the samples to Test America under standard chain-of-custody procedures. Soil sampling and analysis was conducted in general accordance with 35 III. Adm. Code 1100, Clean Construction Demolition Debris Fill Operations and Uncontaminated Soil Fill Operations. 1.2
Soil Analysis
The soil samples were analyzed for a broad range of contaminants including the following: Number of Samples
