IBank of Stockton - Cutter Lumber Site Page 3 <br /> Summer Quarter Groundwater Monitoring Report <br />' Pro)ect No 102 2 <br /> . September 30, 1998 <br />' 2.0 GROUNDWATER MONITORING <br /> The following sections describe the procedures associated with the completion of <br />' groundwater monitoring at the site along with documenting the disposal of the <br /> well purge water associated with groundwater monitoring activity <br />' 2,1 Groundwater Sample Collection <br /> On September 15, 1998 Del-Tech Geotechnical Services of Oakdale, CA <br /> mobilized to the site to complete groundwater monitoring The groundwater <br /> monitoring procedure was as follows Upon arrival, each well was opened and <br /> the water level allowed to equilibrate As each well was opened, and prior to <br />' taking the depth to groundwater measurement, a PID organic vapor meter was <br /> used to screen for VOC's in the head space of the well The depth to <br /> I groundwater was then measured by lowering an electronically actuated all / <br /> water interface detector suspended from a polyethylene measuring tape <br /> calibrated to the nearest 0 01 foot (see groundwater monitoring data sheets in <br />' Appendix C) A careful notation made of the depth to groundwater as measured <br /> by the device Special effort was made to determine if measurable free phase <br /> . gasoline was present in MW-6 or MW-'l An electronically actuated oil / water <br />' interface detector was lowered into these wells for this purpose No measurable <br /> free product was observed In these two wells <br /> Each well was pumped by using a Grundfus submersible pump into the well and <br /> lowering it to bottom Well water was containerized in 55 gallon DOT approved <br /> polyethylene drums, properly labeled, and temporarily stored on-site The rate <br /> of well purging was monitored, and each well was purged of at least three casing <br /> volumes or until the groundwater parameters (temperature, conductivity, and <br />' pH) had stabilized indicating that water representative of actual aquifer <br /> conditions was entering the well Groundwater parameter stabilization was <br /> characterized by three successive readings within 10 percent After the wells had <br /> been allowed to recharge to at least 80 percent of their original volume, samples <br /> were collected from them using methods described below <br />' A stainless steel bailer belayed on a clean stainless steel line was used to collect <br /> each sample Bailer cleanliness was verified by collecting a bailer blank <br />' (pouring distilled water through the bailer and collecting it in a VOA vial) piior <br /> to collecting the analytical sample Before and In between uses, all sampling <br /> equipment was washed using a portable steam cleaner Disposable gloves weie <br /> worn by the sampling technician while collecting all samples The gloves weie <br /> . changed between the collection of each sample to reduce the potential for cross- <br /> contamination <br /> 2937 Veneman Ave ,#B240 Geo-Phase Environmental Inc Phone (209) 569-0293 <br /> Modesto, CA 95356 Fax (209) 569-0293 <br /> I <br />
