Bank of Stockton - Cutter Lumber Site Page 3 <br /> Quarterly Groundwater Monitoring Report <br />' Project No 102 2 <br /> April 23, 2003 <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 March 24, 2003, Del-Tech Geotechnical Services of Oakdale, CA mobilized to <br /> the site to complete groundwater monitoring The groundwater monitoring <br /> procedure was as follows Upon arrival, each well was opened and the water <br /> level allowed to equilibrate As each well was opened, and prior to taking the <br /> depth to groundwater measurement, a PID organic vapor meter was used to <br />' screen for VOC's in the head space of the well The depth to groundwater was <br /> then measured by lowering an electronically actuated air / water interface <br /> detector suspended from a polyethylene measuring tape calibrated to the nearest <br />' 0 01 foot (see groundwater monitoring data sheets in Appendix B) A careful <br /> notation made of the depth to groundwater as measured by the device No <br /> measurable free product was observed in the wells <br />'0 <br /> Each well was pumped with a Wattera pump and dedicated vinyl tubing lowered <br /> 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 /> IAfter purging was completed, the Wattera pump was used to produce a water <br /> sample directly into the sample containers Before and in between uses, all <br />' sampling equipment was washed using a portable steam cleaner Disposable <br /> gloves were worn by the sampling technician while collecting all samples The <br /> gloves were changed between the collection of each sample to reduce the <br />' potential for cross-contamination <br /> Extreme care was exercised while collecting samples to prevent agitation of the <br /> water while filling the sample containers Water samples were transferred from <br /> . the bailer into 40 ml VOA vials preserved with hydrochloric acid (provided by <br />' 2937 Veneman Ave ,#B240 Geo-Phase Environmental.
