where: CV=(FI)(CD/2)' (HW)(7.48) <br /> CV = casing volume(gallons) <br /> CD = casing diameter(feet) <br /> HW = height of water column within well (feet) <br /> 7.48 = conversion from cubic feet to gallons. <br /> • Each well with sufficient recharge was purged of a minimum of three casing volumes and <br /> allowed to recover to 80 percent of the original well volume prior to sampling. Slow- <br /> recharge wells were purged of a minimum of one well volume and also allowed to recover <br /> sufficiently(for a period of no more than two hours)prior to sampling. <br /> • To assess the presence of fresh water coming into the well, dissolved oxygen(DO), electrical <br /> conductivity(EC),pH, turbidity, and temperature were monitored after approximately every <br /> two to five gallons of purging and were recorded on a Well Data Sheet. Sampling was <br /> performed when the total estimated purge volume was reached and the EC,pH, turbidity, and <br /> temperature stabilized to within 10%between consecutive readings. <br /> • Where a bailer was used for sample collection, a bottom-em <br /> ptying the bailer, and the sample was transferred from the bailer to the container ner t a ate so asevice was inserted to <br /> minimize aeration. <br /> Groundwater Sam lin Usin Low-Flow <br /> rur��Methods <br /> • Groundwater monitoring wells that are equipped with dedicated sampling equipment were <br /> purged and sampled using low-flow purging methods. <br /> • With the weighted water-level meter in the well, the submersible pump was operated at a <br /> discharge rate that would minimize the decline in water level. <br /> • Discharged water was routed through a sampling chamber equipped with probes for <br /> measuring DO, EC,pH, turbidity, and temperature. When three consecutive readings of <br /> these field parameters had stabilized to within 10%of each other, with no discernible upward <br /> or downward trend, the water quality was determined to be stable and samples were <br /> collected. <br /> Groundwater Samnlin Collection and Preparation <br /> • Samples, including field, trip, and equipment blanks, were collected in approved sample <br /> containers(Table 1),and each container was filled completely and immediately capped, <br /> labeled, and placed in a cooler with ice. Samples for VOC analysis were filled by pouring the <br /> sample down the side of the container to minimize aeration and capped with no airspace. <br /> D:1FC_SApian.doc 2 <br /> Geologic Associates <br />
