Equipment Cleaning <br /> Before the sampling event was started, equipment that was used to sample groundwater was <br /> disassembled and cleaned with detergent water and then rinsed with deionized water During field <br /> sampling, equipment surfaces that were placed in the well or name into LontaLt with groundwater <br /> during field sampling were steam cleaned with delonized water before the next well was purged or <br /> sampled <br /> Water Level, Floating Hydrocarbon, and Total Well Depth <br /> Measurements <br /> Before purging and sampling occurred, the depth to water, floating hydrocarbon thickness, and <br /> the total well depth were measured using an oil/water interface measuring s}stem The od/water <br /> interface measuring system consists of a probe that emits a continuous audible tone when <br /> immersed in a nonconductive fluid, such as oil or gasoline, and an intermittent tone when <br /> immersed in a conductive fluid, such as water The floating hydrocarbon thickness and water level <br /> were measured by lowering the probe into the well Liquid levels were recorded relative to the <br /> tone emitted at the groundwater surface The sonic probe was decontaminated by being rinsed <br /> with deionized water or steam cleaned after each use A bottom-filling, clear Teflon bailer was <br /> used to verify floating hydrocarbon thickness measurements of less than 0 02 toot Alternatively, <br /> SACNi\PIM805\D80514607CS-Wgb L B-3 Rev 0 10/25/96 <br />
