Before sampling commences, well casing storage water and interstitial water in the artificial <br /> sand pack shall be purged from the well using. (1) a positive displacement bladder pump <br /> constructed of inert non-wetting Teflon and stainless steel; (2) a pneumatic-airlift pumping <br /> system,(3)a centrifugal pumping system,or(4)a PVC,Teflon or stainless steel baler. Methods <br /> of purging will be assessed based on the well size, location, depth, accessibility, and known <br /> chemical conditions. Individual well purge volumes are calculated from the casing volumes. In <br /> general, a minimum of 3 to 5 casing volumes will be purged. Wells which dewater or <br /> demonstrate slow recharge capacities (i.e, Iow yield wells which only recover to 70 percent of <br /> uutial water column height after 1 hour) during purging activities may be sampled after fewer <br /> than 3 to 5 purging cycles If a low yield well is to be sampled, sampling shall not take place <br /> until at least 70 percent of the previously measured water column has been replaced by <br /> recharge. Monitoring wells shall be purged according to the protocol flowchart presented in <br /> Plate A-3 Water removed from the wells will either be disposed or stored in 55-gallon DOT <br /> drums for future disposal according to proceedures outlined for contaminated sod cuttings in the <br /> Soni Sampling Protocol section above Where appropriate, physical parameters (pH, specific <br /> conductance, and temperature) will be monitored by HETI field crew during well purging <br /> operations. If necessary, purging may continue until all three physical parameters have <br /> stabilized Stability shall be defined as a change of less than 0.2 pH units, less than 10 percent <br /> in mucro mhos, and less than 10 degree Centigrade The pH meters shall be read to the nearest <br /> ±01 pH units. Specific conductance meters shall be read to the nearest± 10 irucro-mhos per <br /> centimeter Both types of meters shall be calibrated daily to manufacturer's specifications. <br /> Temperature shall be read to the nearest ± 0.1 degree centigrade Field data collected while <br /> developing,purging and sampling the wells will be entered onto the HETI Purge/Sample Sheet <br /> (Plate A-2) Copies of the Purge/Sample Sheets will be reviewed for accuracy and <br /> completeness for each well sampled. <br /> 4 <br /> I <br /> h <br /> i <br /> p 10 <br /> Vq <br />� I i I' i II V i Ily ' II i I i l E I I I p I II i I I I E <br />
