' Bank of Stockton -Cutter Lumber Site Page 3 Quarterly Groundwater Monitoring Report Project No 102 2 December 19,2001 ' 2.0 GROUNDWATER MONITORING The following sections describe the procedures assoclatod with the completion of ' groundwater monitoring at the site along with documc-rating the disposal of the well purge water associated with groundwater monitors ig activity ' 2.1 Groundwater Sample Collection ' On September 18, 2001, Del-Tech Geotechnical S(-rvices of Oakdale, CA mobilized to the site to complete groundwater monitoring The groundwater monitoring procedure was as follows Upon arrival, each well was opened and ' the water level allowed to equilibrate As each well was opened, and prior to taking the depth to groundwater measurement, a PID organic vapor meter was used to screen for VOC's in the head space of tl e well The depth to ' groundwater was then measured by lowering an electronically actuated air 1 water interface detector suspended from a polyethylene measuring tape calibrated to the nearest 0 01 foot (see groundwater nLonitoring data sheets in ' Appendix B) A careful notation made of the depth to groundwater as measured by the device No measurable free product was observed in the wells ' Each well was pumped with a dedicated Wattera pump or by inserting a submersible pump into the well and lowering it to I ottom Well water was ' containerized in 55-gallon DOT approved polyethylene drums, properly labeled, and temporarily stored on-site The rate of well purging was monitored, and each well was purged of at least three casing volumes )r until the groundwater ' parameters (temperature, conductivity, and pH) had ,tabilized indicating that water representative of actual aquifer conditions xas entering the well Groundwater parameter stabilization was characterm-ed by three successive ' readings within 10 percent After the wells had been Allowed to recharge to at least 80 percent of their original volume, samples were collected from them using methods described below ' A stainless steel bailer belayed on a clean stainless steel line was used to collect each sample Bailer cleanliness was verified by collecting a bailer blank ' (pouring distilled water through the bailer and collecting it in a VOA vial) prior to collecting the analytical sample Before and in bel ween uses, all sampling ' equipment was washed using a portable steam cleaner Disposable gloves were worn by the sampling technician while collecting all simples The gloves were changed between the collection of each sample to reduce the potential for cross- contamination 1 2937 Veneman Ave ,#B240 Geo-Phase Environmental Inc Phone (209) 569-0293 Modesto, CA 95356 Fax (209) 569-0293
