UPDATE 30 11-11-94 the wells on August 17, October 12, and November 7, 1993 . Depth to top of fluid and ground water measurements were obtained using a clean product water interface probe The probe, lowered into the well, by an attached tape calibrated in 0 02 foot intervals, s signals at the contact of floating product and at the top of ground water. The measurement is obtained from the calibrated tape reading adjacent to a reference point on the casing The probe is cleaned with trisodium phosphate water followed by a distilled water rinse before measuring the next well Measurements are started at the historically cleanest wells and Progress to the dirtiest well All depth to ground water measurements were obtained before purging the wells for sampling ✓ The depth to water is then subtracted from the elevation of the casing' s reference point for a corrected ground water elevation A computer generated gradient program was not utilized The more interpretive gradient map was developed by calculating the gradient from each well to all surrounding wells (difference in ground water elevations/distance between wells) , "i e . " . MW1 to MW2 , MW1 to MW3 , MW1 to MW4 , and MW1 to MW6 Depth to ground water data from MW5 is not used, this well was installed in a slant boring and produced an anomalous high when used From these gradient lines, data points representing the contact for the proposed contours are plotted along each individual line Once the data points have been plotted between all the wells, the data points representing a given gradient elevation ( -45 foot contour, for example) are connected with site specific factors, "z e it incorporating conditions caused by local geology, hydrogeology, utility trenches, etc These are used to control the contour between data points This site is presently being influenced by vapor extraction at MW5, VSB3 , VSB5, VSB9 and VSB11 A vacuum at these wells and surrounding wells will influence the shape of the ground water surface and subsequent flow directions of the ground water To obtain representative measurements that show the influence by the vacuum extraction at this site, a vacuum measurement is obtained at the well head before removing the cap and the subsequent depth to water measurement is corrected for the negative vacuum head (potentiometric head) Vapor Recovery System and Monitoring During the latest confirmation soil sample drilling which occurred on February 2 , 1994 , SB13 , S214 and SB15 were converted into vapor extraction wells These wells along with P3 , VSSS , VSB9, VSB11 and MW5 are presently utilized for vapor extraction, see Figure 3A These wells have been manifolded into the laterals of the above listed wells that are manifolded to a vapor extraction system with individual valved orifices for flow control and measurement The wells are fitted with a PVC tee head with a locking air tight cap, for well access . The tee lateral (2 inch) is fitted with a 1/4 inch pipe to tubing fitting for obtaining vacuum/pressure and temperature readings A pipe to hose 2 inch union is placed between the tee and the 2 inch PVC flex hose that connects the well to the extraction manifold At the manifold the wells are connected to their own 2 inch PVC pagell
