I <br /> Groundwater Sampling Protocol <br /> Prior to arriving at the sampling site, all sampling equipment <br /> will be washed with laboratory grade detergent, and rinsed twice <br /> with tap water, once with acetone, and once with deionized water. <br /> The sample washing procedure will be carried out on-site before <br /> sampling of other monitoring wells, in such cases where more than <br /> one monitoring wall is to be sampled. <br /> �i <br /> Tmmediately prior to sampling, the depth to water (DTW) level in <br /> the well will be recorded. The thickness of product on top of <br /> the groundwater, if present, will be measured using an interface <br /> probe. The procedure for conducting these monitorings are <br /> presented in the Groundwater Monitoring Protocol attachment. <br /> If free product is detected, analysis of groundwater for <br /> dissolved product will be conducted after the free product has <br /> been removed fro►n the well. If all free product cannot be <br /> i removed, an interval specific sampling device will be utilized to <br /> i collect a sample from below the zone of free prcduc;t. Before <br /> collecting at least two groundwater samples from each well, the . <br /> well Willbe purged until indicator parameters (temperature, '' <br /> ' conductivity and pH) stabilize. This will entail the removal of <br /> F- <br /> at least four or more well easing volumes by bailing or pumping. <br /> , p The criteria for determining well casing volumes and storage of <br /> l' discussed in the WaterWork Well Development <br /> �s� purged waste is <br /> ► <br /> Protocol Attachment. The indicator parameter measurements will � <br /> be taken both before and after purging of each well casing <br /> volume. Once the well is purged and well water has stabilized, a <br /> sample will be collected after the water level approaches 80 <br /> percent of its initial elevation. Where water level recovery is <br /> slow, the sample will be collected after stabilization is <br /> achie�red and enough water is present to fill sample containers. <br /> Cross ' contamination from transferring pumps (or bailers) from <br /> well to well will be avoided by utilizing dedicated equipment. 4 <br /> Where this is not feasible thorough cleaning of equipment w!21 be J <br /> performed between sampling rounds. Sampling will Proceed from <br /> the least contaminated to the most contaminated well, if <br /> information is available before sample collection, or if it is <br /> indicated by field evidence. Where several types of analysis <br /> will be performed for a given well individual samples will be <br /> collected in the following order: <br /> 1. Volatile organics ' <br /> 2. Purgeable organic carbon <br /> 3. Purgeable organic halogens <br /> 4. Total organic carbon <br /> 5. Total organic halogens �. <br /> µ` 6. Extractable organics ' <br /> • <br /> 1 <br />
