SECTION 2 <br /> SOIL AND GROUNDWATER <br /> INVESTIGATION WORKPLAN <br /> This section outlines the proposed work for further evaluation of soil <br /> and groundwater conditions of the former underground storage tank <br /> site. <br /> Scope of work <br /> The groundwater flow direction under the tank site was determined <br />' through water level measurements in three monitoring wells. <br /> Unfortunately, none of the wells were situated immediately <br /> downgradaent of the former location of the tank. ERM-West proposes <br />' to remedy the lack of downgradient information through the <br /> construction of two additional monitoring wells. One well will be <br /> located within the perimeter of the former tank location and the <br /> second well will be located within approximately 10 feet of the tank <br /> location and hydraulically downgradient of the tank site (Figure 1-2). <br />' Monitoring Well Construction <br /> i <br />' The monitoring wells will be drilled utilizing a truck-mounted drill <br /> rig equipped with hollow-stem auger. Prior to the start of each well, <br /> the augers will be cleaned and decontaminated by the use of steam. <br /> Soil samples will be collected at five-foot intervals during drilling <br /> using a split-spoon sampler equipped with pre-cleaned brass liners <br /> The sampler will be cleaned prior to each use in an Alconex solution <br /> and clean water rinse. The maximum depth of each boring will be 30 <br /> feet. Samples will be visually classified in the field according to the <br />' Unified Soil Classification System. An organic vapor meter will be <br /> used to screen a portion of the sampled material through head space <br /> measurements Sample descriptions, head space measurements, <br />' observations, etc., will be recorded along with the depth interval of <br /> the sample on a logging form. <br /> Soil samples retained in brass tubes will be secured by covering the <br /> ends of the tubes with Teflon film and plastic caps Samples will <br /> then be labeled. The label will contain a unique sample number, the <br /> 2-1 <br /> 1 <br />
