This <br />will provide a secure, leak -free conduit from the surface to the sampling area below. <br />Please also note that we do not intend to install the tubes hanging from the connection <br />at the top, rather, tubes will extend fully to the bottom of the existing probe pipes with the <br />weight of the tube supported by surrounding pipe. The tubes will be installed under <br />slight "compression". <br />Size of perforations: Perforations will be 1/10" diameter. <br />Number of perforations: The minimum number of perforations will be 12, providing <br />adequate open area for sample collection. This minimum number occurs at the Shallow <br />probes of the Corral Hollow Landfill, where the perforation length of the probe pipe is <br />three feet (Table 1). <br />Length of Perforations: The tube perforations will extend at least to the top of the <br />perforations of the existing probe pipe. Tube perforations may be provided above the <br />pipe perforations. <br />
