A_ <br />} <br /> al <br /> r <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> DESCRU"nON OF FIELD METHODS <br /> Measurements of the static water level were taken in each well prior to commencing paging,and <br /> a check for floating product was also made at that time. <br /> Prior to sampling, the monitoring wells were purged using a diaphragm pump (supplied by <br /> Armour Petroleum Services). The wells were purged of a minimum of three well volumes, if <br /> possible,or until they went dry. A well volume is defined as the amount of groundwater in the <br /> well casing and in the filter pack,at an assumed porosity of 35 percent. Measurements of pH, <br /> specific conductance and temperature of the ' <br /> F groundwater were taken at regular intervals dttrjtsg <br /> pumping. After purging, each well was sampled with a disposable bailer equipped with a <br /> bottom-emptying valve. The sample was drained directly through the bottom valve into two 40- <br /> milliliter glass vials with Teflon-lined septa <br /> All groundwater produced during the sampling activity was removed from the site by Armour <br /> Petroleum Services. <br /> 5&M REMRT&0M 1 Q4R1tpr - <br />
