A typical construction diagram for the proposed <br /> air sparge wells is provided as Figure 5. <br /> Observation well OBS-1 and vapor well VW-1 will likely consist of 2-inch diameter, Schedule-80 PVC <br /> blank and screen (0.020-inch slot) casing. The screen interval for the ob ervation well is expected to <br /> extend from approximately 70 to 110 ft-bgs (the top of the screen intervall to be approximately 20 feet <br /> above groundwater to potentially allow for bioventing within the former UST area capillary fringe/smear <br /> zone and/or as a deep vapor phase monitoring point during sparging operations). The screen interval for <br /> vapor well VW-1 is expected to extend from approximately 30 to 60 ft-bgs (the top of the screen interval <br /> to be approximately 15 to 20 feet below the excavated depth of the former QST pit to potentially allow for <br /> bioventing directly beneath the former UST area and/or as a shallow vapor phase monitoring point during <br /> sparging operations). Proposed well construction diagrams for OBS-1 and VW-1 are provided as <br /> Figures 6 and 7, respectively. <br /> The filter pack surrounding the screened portion of each well casing w II consist of #2/16 or #2/12 <br /> Monterey sand poured through the auger. The filter pack surrounding thE screened casing will extend <br /> from the total borehole depth to approximately one foot above the top of screen in the AS wells, and <br /> approximately two feet above the top of screen for the observation and vapor wells. Preliminary well <br /> development will be conducted during the emplacement of the filter pack to compact the filter pack <br /> material and to remove fines from the water column within each submerged well casing. <br /> For the AS wells, the annular seal above the screened interval will consist of time-release bentonite <br /> pellets installed from the top of the filter pack to the approximate depth of tie water table, with bentonite <br /> grout added from the top of the bentonite pellets to near surface grade. For the observation well, the <br /> annular seal above the screened interval will consist of a few feet of bentonite chips followed by bentonite <br /> grout installed from top of the bentonite chips to near surface grade. Surface completion for each of the <br /> wells will consist of a flush-mounted, traffic-rated well box set in concrete to grade. <br /> At least 72 hours following installation, the newly-installed sparge wells and observation well OBS-1 <br /> will be developed by surging, bailing, and pumping. Development will ntinue until at least 5 to 10 <br /> well casing volumes of groundwater have been extracted (as feasible), fi es have been removed from <br /> the well casing, field parameters have stabilized (such as pH, temperature, electrical conductivity), <br /> and turbidity has been substantially reduced to the approximate target of 5 nephelometric turbidity <br /> units (NTUs), or demonstrate stability to the extent feasible. All sol cuttings, groundwater, and <br /> decontamination water generated during drilling and well installation will a contained and temporarily <br /> stored at the Site in U.N.-approved, 55-gallon drums for appropriate disposal by a licensed waste <br /> contractor. <br /> 5.1.4 Sparge Test Methods <br /> Several sparge tests are proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of biospz rging and air sparging for the <br /> remediation of the dissolved hydrocarbon plume.
