E! 13 AT L REQMEM E9L-FOR DESTROYING MONITORING LS AND EXPLORATION HOLES <br /> 13.17.1. A monitoring well shall be investigated to determine its condition and details or its <br /> f; <br /> construction prior to its destruction. <br /> 13.17.2. The well shall be sounded immediately before it is destroyed to determine whether <br /> there are obstructions that will interfere with filling and sealing. <br /> 1-3.17.3. Any obstructions found in the well or boring shall be removed before filling and <br /> sealing operations begin. <br /> 13.17.4. If the well was const:ructed and maintain`ed in accordance with these Standards, the <br /> sealing material shall be placed under pressure to ensure that the monitoring well is <br /> properly filled and sealed. <br /> 13.17.5. Casing material may require perforation, or puncturing, to allow for proper <br /> placement of sealing materials. <br /> 13.17.6. If the well construction is unknown and/or is located in an area of known or <br /> suspected pollution or contamination, the well shall be destroyed by removing all <br /> p ...material within.the Driginal borehole.(inch ding.the well casing, screen, filter pack, <br /> :! and annular seal); and the created hole filled completely with appropriate sealing <br /> material. <br /> 13.1.7.7. Exploratory borings, installed for sampling purposes, shall be completely grouted <br /> with appropriate sealing material. The 'top 3 feet of the boring may be backfilled <br /> with clean, uncontaminated fill material. <br /> 13.17.8. The well or exploratory boring sball be filled by use of a tremie pipe or equivalent, <br /> proceeding upward from the bottom of the well or boring. Any deviation from this <br /> i method must be approved by the Director.' <br /> 13.17.9. Sealing materials shall be placed in one continuous operation unless conditions in the <br /> well or boring dictate that sealing operations be conducted in a staged manner and <br /> prior approval is obtained'from the Director. <br /> 13.17.10. Pressure required for the placement of sealing material shall be maintained long <br /> enough for sealing materials to properly set <br /> 13.17.11. Verification shall be made to determine that an adequate seal has been installed by <br /> F <br /> a EBD representative. <br /> 13.17.12. If the well casing was left in place during sealing operations, a hole at Ieast one foot <br /> larger in diameter than the originally drilled hole shall be excavated around the <br /> outside of the well casing to a depth of 3 feet below the ground surface, and the well <br /> • shall then be cut off 6 inches alcove the bottom of this excavation and <br /> P <br /> ,e- 1tv <br /> removed. i <br /> 13.17.13. The grout used to fill the well shall be allowed to spilt over into the excavation, <br /> during the sealing operation, and fill it for a thickness of one foot and form a 'cap" <br /> which has a diameter of at Feast one,foot greater than the diameter of the originally <br /> drilled hole. <br /> 13.17.14. After the sealing operation and the sealing material has set, the excavation shall be <br /> filled with clean soil. <br /> 13.17.15. Any deviation from this section must obtaiA prior approval from the Director. <br /> °i <br /> F - <br />
