t <br /> a <br /> 2 . 0 GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION AND GRADIENT <br /> On April 8, 2003, ASE measured the depth to water in each site <br /> groundwater monitoring well using an electric water level sounder The <br /> surface of the groundwater was also checked for the presence of <br /> free-floating hydrocarbons or sheen using an oil/water interface probe a n d <br /> a product thickness bailer No free-floating hydrocarbons were observed <br /> in any of the groundwater monitoring wells this quarter Groundwater <br /> elevation data is presented as Table One <br /> Groundwater elevation (potentiometric surface) contours are plotted on <br /> Figures 2, 3 and 4 Groundwater in the shallow zone (less than 20-feet <br /> bgs) has historically shown a northern or northwestern flow This quarter, <br /> the groundwater flow direction is primarily to the northwest with a <br /> gradient of approximately 0 001-feet/foot A shallow zone potentiometric <br /> surface map is presented as Figure 2 <br /> Groundwater in the middle zone (55-70-feet bgs) flows toward the south <br /> this quarter at a gradient of approximately 0 0030-feet/foot <br /> The groundwater flow in the deep zone (greater than 100-feet) could n o t <br /> ibe calculated this quarter since the depth to water was only measured in <br /> two of the three deep wells at the site <br /> Potentiometric surface differences in wells adjacent to each other b u t <br /> screened in different zones such as monitoring wells MW-6, MW 7 a n d <br /> MW-8 show a decreasing hydraulic head with depth, suggesting the <br /> potential for downward groundwater flow <br /> 3 . 0 GROUNDWATER SAMPLE COLLECTION <br /> On April 8, 2003, ASE collected groundwater samples from sixteen (16) of <br /> the on-site and off-site groundwater monitoring wells for analysis The <br /> number of wells to be sampled each quarter was proposed in ASE's letter <br /> to the San Joaquin County PHS-EHD dated September 2, 2001 a n d <br /> approved during a subsequent telephone conversation with Lori Duncan of <br /> the PHS-EHD <br /> Prior to sampling, the site monitoring wells were purged of three well <br /> casing volumes of groundwater using a Grundfos pump and/or dedicated <br /> polyethylene bailers The pH, temperature, and conductivity of the purge <br /> water were monitored during evacuation, and samples were not collected <br /> until these parameters stabilized Samples were collected from the wells <br /> Frank's One Stop Quarterly Report — April 2003 Sampling <br /> -2- <br />
