' ARCADIS Amy S. Terrell <br /> November 14, 2012 <br /> ' Well Destruction by Casing Removal <br /> ' Fourteen wells were destroyed by removing the entire casing by either over-drilling or <br /> by using a winch on the drill rig mast after using an auger to break the sanitary seal. <br /> After the casings were removed, the borings were filled completely with neat cement <br /> ' grout pumped into the boring via a tremie pipe(for borings greater than 20 feet <br /> deep). For borings that were less than 20 feet deep, neat cement grout was poured <br /> directly into the open borings from the mixing buckets. <br /> ' Well Destruction by Pressure Grouting <br /> ' Well MW-16B was destroyed by pressure grouting in place. The concrete well box <br /> was removed and neat cement grout was pumped under pressure into the well <br /> ' casing via a tremie pipe placed near the bottom of the well. The tremie pipe was <br /> lifted as the grouting progressed. Following pressure grouting activities, a hole with a <br /> diameter larger than the well casing diameter was excavated to a depth of <br /> ' approximately three feet bgs. The well casing was cut approximately 6-inches above <br /> the bottom of the excavation and additional grout was added to the well casing to <br /> overflow into the excavation creating a "mushroom cap'of neat cement above the <br /> ' casing to seal the boring and create a protective cement cap above and around the <br /> top of the boring. Native soil was used to backfill the excavation to natural grade. The <br /> grout volume was calculated to ensure that it exceeded the casing volume. <br /> Waste Management Activities <br /> ' Investigation-derived waste(IDW)soil and decontamination water was placed into <br /> Department of Transportation-approved 55-gallon drums. The drums were stored <br /> on-site temporarily so they could be characterized. After the IDW soil and water were <br /> ' characterized, UPS transported the IDW off site for disposal. <br /> Closing <br /> tThank you for your continued support with this important project.
