But the <br /> amount of water that flows through the filter pack compared to the water that normally flows through the <br /> casing without the packer is very small. <br /> This kind of test is not definitive and 100%accurate. But it is very cost effective in determining whether design <br /> the groundwater pump and treat/disposal system for the entire depth of the saturated media versus a portion <br /> of it. I am open to any suggestion that you may have to move this project forward. <br /> S.Javad Masoudi, P.E. <br /> EnviroMonitoring Services, Inc. <br /> 23011 Moulton Parkway,Suite B-14 <br /> Laguna Hills, CA 92653 <br /> Ph: (949) 768-6210 <br /> Fax: (949) 770-8128 <br /> From: Vicki McCartney [EH] [mailto:vmccartney@sjcehd.com] <br /> Sent: Friday, September 06, 2013 4:14 PM <br /> To: Javad Masoudi <br /> Subject: Frontier Transportation Facility 425 Larch Road,Tracy CANONO <br /> Good afternoon Javad, <br /> Having reviewed Addendum to Proposed Work Plan for Groundwater lirnediation, dated 27 August 2013, for <br /> Frontier Transportation Facility located at 425 Larch Road in Tracy, the following concerns still exist: <br /> You propose to install a temporary packer at approximately 13 feet below surface grade (bsg) and conduct two <br /> separate water pump tests using DPE3 and MW-3R as pumping wells to assess the petroleum hydrocarbon <br /> contamination in the shallow zone(above 13 feet bsg)versus the deeper zone (below 13 feet bsg). Both of these <br /> wells are screened between 5 and 20 feet below surface grade (bsg)with a filter pack from approximate 4 to 20 <br /> feet bsg. You have indicated that a confined clayey sand/silty sand exists from approximately 5 to 13 feet bsg. I <br /> understand how the packer will prevent the flow of water within the well casing during the pumping <br /> test; however, how do you propose to purge four volumes of water from each section of the casing while <br /> preventing groundwater from entering the casing from the filter pack in the zone not being sampled? <br /> Vicki McCartney, Senior REHS <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health Department <br /> 1868 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, California 95205 <br /> Phone: (209)468-9852 <br /> Email: vmccartnevna.sicehd.com <br /> 9/9/2013 <br />
