• Sampling of Ground-Water Monitoring Wells September 4, 1990 <br /> Beacon Station No. 502, Lodi, California AGS 86091-8 <br /> FIELD PROCEDURES <br /> Measurement of he Degth to Caound Water in Monitoring ! s <br /> The depth of the groundwater surface in a monitoring well is measured from the top of the <br /> well casing to the nearest 0.01 foot with a Solinst water-level indicator. <br /> ub' ctive AnOysis ou - to <br /> Groundwater samples are collected for subjective analysis from the air-fluid interface in a <br /> monitoring well by lo--.vering approximately half the length of a clean Teflon bailer through <br /> the interface. The bailer is retrieved and the water sample is visually examined for floating <br /> product, sheen, and other subjective evidence of hydrocarbon contamination. <br /> d Sampling onitoringells <br /> Before sample collection, a minimum of 4 well volumes of ground water is purged from <br /> ! _ each monitoring well using an electric submersible pump. A sufficient volume is purged to <br /> allow temperature, pH, and conductivity of the water to stabilize. After the water level in <br /> the well is allowed to recover to at least 80 percent of the initial level. a groundwater <br /> sample is collected by lowering a clean Teflon bailer past the air-water interface. The bailer <br /> is retrieved and the sample is slowly transferred to laboratory-cleaned, 40-milliliter glass <br /> vials that contain concentrated hydrochloric acid as a preservative. The vials are completely <br /> filled so as to prevent headspace. The vials are labeled with the site identification number, <br /> the date and time of sample collection, the preservative used, and the sample identification <br /> number. The samples are promptly placed in 'iced storage and delivered to a laboratory <br /> certified by the State of California. <br /> �4rD�7/I�d OOOSYStOms -�-- <br />
