Mr. Howard Hold <br /> August 27, 2004 <br /> Page 5 <br /> Sample Handling and Ground-Water Chemical Analyses <br /> As is routinely performed for the ongoing monitoring program, a state-certified laboratory will <br /> perform the analyses and the usual chain of custody procedures for sample handling will be <br /> followed. All samples will be placed in ice chests and kept at 4 degrees Celsius until analyzed. <br /> Samples will be delivered to the laboratory the same day they are collected. <br /> The constituents to be analyzed are. <br /> Field Parameters <br /> pH <br /> Specific Conductance <br /> Temperature <br /> Turbidity <br /> Dissolved Oxygen <br /> Redox <br /> Monitoring Parameters <br /> Total Dissolved Solids <br /> Total Hardness <br /> Aluminum <br /> Bicarbonate <br /> Calcium <br /> Chloride <br /> Magnesium <br /> Nitrate <br /> Potassium <br /> Sodium <br /> Sulfate <br /> Evaluation Monitoring Report <br /> Per the schedule specified in the July 15,2004 tentative revised WDRs, an updated report <br /> characterizing the impact to ground-water quality in the shallow and deep zones in the vicinity of <br /> the ponds will be submitted by October 29,2004. This report will include the as-built <br /> construction of the new monitoring facilities and the results of baseline sampling along with <br /> updated isocontours of the areal and vertical extent of elevated chloride and total dissolved solids <br /> in ground water. The wellheads will be surveyed and a round of ground-water level <br /> measurements will be made in all network monitoring wells (new and existing). The semi- <br /> annual ground-water sampling event will be coordinated in conjunction with the sampling of the <br /> new facilities to provide ground-water level and quality data at a similar time period for purposes <br /> of the updated analysis of site conditions. <br /> The report will also include, as necessary, recommendations for another"phase"of monitoring <br /> well installation if needed to satisfy the objectives of complete characterization of saline water <br />
