k'9 KLEINFELDER <br /> A-3.4 Well Survey <br /> The locations of soil borings and monitoring wells, and the elevation of the top of the PVC <br /> casings are usually surveyed and tied into permanent markers, if readily available. Survey <br /> accuracy is 0.1 foot for the "x" and "y" coordinates and .01 foot for the 'Y' coordinate. The <br /> depth to static groundwater is measured from a set location at the top of the PVC casing (usually <br /> the north rim). The depth of water is then subtracted from the elevation of the top of the well <br /> casing to provide a groundwater elevation for each monitoring well location. <br /> I <br /> A-4 GROUNDWATER MONITORING <br /> A-4.1 Water Level Measurements <br /> f <br /> Water level measurements are made in the wells prior to purging and sampling the wells. <br /> Measurement protocol is as follows: <br /> 1. Prior to obtaining water level measurements, the monitoring wells would be opened and <br /> allowed to equilibrate for a period of approximately %hour. <br /> 2. The water level probe is decontaminated in a trisodium phosphate or non-phosphate <br /> detergent wash, followed by a distilled water rinse, prior to use in each well. <br /> 3. Water level measurements are made using a conductivity-based water-level meter. <br /> Depth-to-water is generally measured from a surveyed mark on the north rim of the PVC <br /> I well casing. <br /> The water level measurements are converted to elevations using the surveyed casing elevations. <br /> A-4.2 Groundwater Sampling <br /> Groundwater samples are collected from the monitoring wells at the site. The sampling protocol <br /> for each well is as follows: <br /> 1. Down-well equipment (pumps, bailers, etc.) is decontaminated by steam cleaning, or by <br /> scrubbing in a trisodium-phosphate or non-phosphate detergent wash followed by a <br /> distilled water rinse, prior to use in each well. Bailer cord is replaced prior to use in each <br /> well. <br /> 2. The depth to groundwater is measured using a conductivity-based water-level meter. <br /> I The volume of water in gallons standing in the well is calculated by subtracting the depth <br /> to groundwater 'measurement from the depth of the well and multiplying by the <br /> appropriate conversion factor(0.16 for 2-inch wells, and 0.65 for 4-inch wells). <br /> 12280.MON/ST02RI34 Page A5 <br /> 0 2002,Kleinfelder,Inc.
