Former Manna Pro Site Page 3 Quarterly Groundwater Monitoring Report, ' Project No 207 2 July 26, 2004 ' 2.0 GROUNDWATER MONITORING The following sub-sections describe the procedures associated With the ' completion of groundwater monitoring and ancillary activities at the site 2.1 Groundwater Sample Collection ' On June 8 2004 Del-Tech Geotechnicalervi f S ces o 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 the wells which were to be sampled The depth to groundwater was then measured by lowering an electronically ' actuated air / water interface detector suspended from a polyethylene measuring tape calibrated to the nearest 0 01 foot (see groundwater monitoring data sheets in Appendix B) A careful notation was made of the ' depth to groundwater as measured by the device No measurable free product was observed in the wells '! Each well to be sampled was pumped with a Waterra pump with dedicated vinyl tubing 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 or until the groundwater parameters (temperature, ' conductivity, and pH) had stabilized indicating that water representative of actual aquifer conditions was entering the well Groundwater parameter stabilhzation-was-characterized-by-three-successiLve readings within-l0-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 ' Wells purged with a Wattera pump were sampled directly from the dedicated tubing Before, and an between uses, all re-usable sampling equipment was ' washed using a portable steam cleaner Disposable gloves were worn by the sampling technician while collecting all samples The gloves were changed between the collection of each sample to reduce the potential for cross-contamination ' Extreme care was exercised while collecting samples to prevent agitation of the water contained in the bailer Water samples were transferred from the ibailer into 40 ml VOA vials preserved with hydrochloric (provided by the 2937 Veneman Ave ,#B240 Geo-Phase Environmental Inc Phone (209) 569-0293 i Modesto, CA 95356 Fax (209) 569-0293 I ,
