The wells are allowed to recover to approximately 80 percent of the static:waw <br /> level prior to sample collection. The groundwater purged from the wells is temporarily stored <br /> in 55-gallon liquid waste drums approved for this use by the Department of Transportation <br /> (DOT')- <br /> A sample of the formation water is then colleeted'from the surface of the water in each of thb <br /> wells with a clean disposable bailer. rhe bailer is lowered slowly and gently into the well to <br /> /] prevent mixing. The wafer sample is then slowly transferred to laboratory-cleaned glass 100- <br /> 300 ml sample containers using a drain tube: The drain tube is planed at the,bottom of the <br /> '\v sample jar and the bailer slowly drained. Enough water is placed in the jar to.allow some <br /> overflow of the sample. Immediately, a dissolved oxygen probe and ,an oxidation-reduction <br /> potential meter are putinto the sample container and the readings are recorded: <br /> C'r=ndZ r amf lin or, [ether Co ituents <br /> The static-water level in each well is measured to the nearest 0.01 foot with a Solinst electric <br /> water-level sounder cleaned with a laboratory-grade, non-phosphate detergent and, deionized <br /> water before use in each well. .for wells with a history of contamination, a clean bailer 6wed <br /> to obtain a ,sample from the .surface of the water in the.well for subjective analysis of <br /> hydrocarbons. The sample is retrieved and visually examined for floating product, sheen, <br /> color, snd,clarity,. <br /> Approximately 3 to 5 well volumes are purged from each well with a pre-washed submersible <br /> pump or bailer to allow sampling of;representative formation water. All down hole equipment <br /> is cleaned,with a laboratory-grade non-phosphate detergent and water before use in each well. <br /> The wells are purged until withdrawal of groundwater is of sufficient duration to result in <br /> stabilized p1I, temperature, and electrical conductivity of the water, as measured by pmUble <br /> meters calibrated to a standard buffer and conductivity standard. The wells are allowed to <br /> recover to`approximately 80 percent of the static water level prior to sample collection. The <br /> w:195122%a2gw=Jp be <br />
