S <br /> Problems With Sampling <br /> Loss of dissolved volatiles by aeration - is one of the greatest errors in the sampling process <br /> This loss can be realized at any time during the process of well purging, bailer sampling, or <br /> transfer to the receiving sample container Loss through effervescence created by the relief of <br /> depth pressures and through turbulence caused by the sampling bailer or COLAWASA, is also <br /> a concern <br /> Loss of dissolved volatiles through sample turbidity - is the next common error encountered in <br /> the sampling process. Clay and silt(some silts are organic) particles are electrically charged and <br /> may adsorb organic ring or chain molecules, making them unavailable for detection using EPA <br /> standard analysis methods Clay and silt particles from the surrounding strabgraphic <br /> formations migrate, over time, through the sand pack and into the well casing where the slowly <br /> settle-out The act of purging most wells disturbs these settled particles, creating highly turbid <br /> samples <br /> Gain of dissolved volatiles by sampling through Free Product - is not uncommon in leaking <br /> underground storage tank (LUST) investigations This problem is so evident and prevalent, that <br /> many sites cannot be sampled until all of the free product has been removed from the <br /> groundwater table. Laboratory analyses from wells containing free product are generally <br /> useless as representative groundwater samples under the influence of free product. This is <br /> because the bailer must be continuously lowered down through the free product during the <br />® purging process, creating a thick layer of emulsion and an entire well of organic-rich <br /> contaminated groundwater If another "clean" bailer is used to obtain a sample of this broth, it, <br /> too, must be lowered through the emulsion to obtain a sample, thereby coating and <br /> contaminating the bailer and rendering the sample invalid <br /> Purging prior to sampling can adversely affect the collected sample due to artificially produced <br /> turbidity. Wilson and Dworkin went so far as to state that the necessity for such large purge <br /> volumes was to thoroughly remove all traces of turbidity Purging in wells with long well <br /> screens tends to average the contaminant concentration over the entire vertical screen length <br /> But unknown hydrogeologic effects, which can confound our understanding of the true <br /> contaminant distributions and concentrations, do the greatest damage to sample integrity. The <br /> effects of stratigraphic variation, most generally represented by zones of high natural <br /> groundwater flow layered with zones of lesser permeability, can greatly affect the character of a <br /> contaminated aquifer. Purging long-screened wells only serves to muddle our understanding <br /> of the true nature of the in-situ conditions. <br /> Well Purging- High Flow <br /> The uruversal goal of well purging, according to the literature, is to provide representative <br /> samples of formation waters, while at the same time, creating as little disturbance to the <br /> groundwater flow regime In all cases found in the literature, the most common reason for <br /> purging is to "refresh" the "stagnant' bore water volume. In general, one well bore volume is <br /> described as the volume of water standing in the well casing above the screened interval This <br />
