1.0 INTRODUCTION
February 2007
Section 1
This Remedial Action Work Plan (RAP) presents the procedures and protocols required for implementing
the remediation of the Reasor Chemical Supcrfund Site (Site) in Castle Hayne, New Hanover County,
North Carolina. Implementation of the RAP will ensure that remedial actions are performed in
accordance with the Record of Decision and amendments (ROD). The specific tasks associated with the
remedial action include site preparation; installation of a water treatment system; installation of a
.decontamination area; installation of soil and sediment staging areas; performance of remedial actions
including pond dcwatcring, water treatment ~nd disposal, pond sediment removal and stabilization and
off-site disposal, drum debris removal and off-site disposal, and soil removal from Copper Scrap and Pipe
Shop areas; installation or alkaline material in Drum Disposal Arca: groundwater sampling of existing
monitoring wells M\V~7S and 7D; closure of remaining wells on Site; and demobilization. This RAP has
been prepared in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued
Co11sc111 Decree (CD) and S1a1c111en1 ofW11rk.for 1/emedial Action (SOIV), both dated October 2006.
Facility Location
The Site is located in Castle Hayne, New Hanover County, Nm1h Carolina al 5100 North College Road
just southeast of the junction of United States Highway 117 and North Carolina Route 132 within a 52.93
acre tract of vacant land (Figure I). Access to the Site is via a dirt access road with a lockable gate.
1.2 Historic Property Use and Ownership
Prior to 1959, the .property consisted of woodlands with a small creek through the property. Between
1959 until December I, 1971 the Site was operated and owned by Reasor Chemical Company and was
used for the processing of wood stumps for the recovery of pine products. These products included
turpentine, pine rosin, pine oil, camphor, pine tar and charcoal. The Site was then purchased by the
Martin Marietta Company (now Martin Marietta Materials). A fire and possible explosion occurred at the
. Site on April 7, 1972 in which most of the Site buildings were damaged or destroyed. In 1986, the
property was sold to Hilda C. Dill and Jane C. Sullivan. Since 1972, the property has been vacant.
1.3 General Site Layout
Remnants of the fonner pine tree processing facility are evident at the Site. Certain buildings remain
standing as well as tank cradles and four surface impoundments (Ponds I through 4) which are believed
to have been part of the processing operation. There are also areas where surface disposal of copper scrap
occurred (Copper Scrap Arca), a pipe shop where surface disposal of pipe materials occurred (Pipe Shop
Area), and a swale where drums containing unknown materials where stored and/or disposed (Drum

3.2
•
•
•
•
SOIL: Direct excavation followed by disposal (if characterized as non-hazardous
waste) into a Subtitle D landfill.
SEDIMENT: Dcwatering of the four process ponds, excavation of the sediment, and
stabilization qf the sediment using a natural or man-made stabilizing agent and
disposal (if characterized as non-hazardous waste) in a Subtitle D landfill.
SURFACE WATER: Removal of the water from the four process ponds, on-site
treatment of the water to remove the contaminants o( concern and on-site disposal of
the treated water.
GROUNDWATER: Placement of alkaline material in the soils at the fonncr Drum
Disposal Area. Sampling of two wells, MW-7S and MW-7D, using low-flow
sampling technology and the collection of groundwater samples for laboratory
analysis for aluminum when pH and turbidity values arc within specified limits.
Repeat the sampling annually until four years of monitoring has been performed.
Close remaining on-site wells in accordance with State of North Carolina regulations.
GENERAL SITE: Restore the Site by planting native species where needed to
mitigate Site impacts due to remediation efforts. Also as needed, install erosion
control technology to mitigate the on-site and off-site erosion due to rainfall.
Performance Standards
Section 3
The remedial action performance will be measured against the published clean-up standards in the ROD
and amendments. The published clean-up standards are presented in this RAP in Table I. For
background on the selection of these values, the ROD should be reviewed.
3.3 ·compliance Testing
Verification of the completion of the remedial action will be measured against the clean-up standards
using the sampling and analyses procedures detailed in the Performance Standards Verification Plan.
Summarizing, soil samples will be collected from each of the seven areas requiring excavation and
analyzed for the presence of the specific chemicals listed in the clean-up standards.

4.0 REMEDIAL ACTION
The following sections describe the general sequence of construction for the implementation of the
Remedial Actions at the Site. A schedule is provided as Appendix D. This schedule will act as a guide to
the performance of the work. Monthly Progress Reports will provide updates to this schedule as the
remedial action proceeds at the Site. Deviations from this schedule may be necessary due to unforeseen
issues that arc inherent in the execution of the work or delays due to weather.
4,1 Mobilization
Mobilization will occur during the first week of field activities. The first siti..: activity will be a Sitl'. Safety
Meeting. /\t this time the Site Safety Orficcr will n:vit:w· the components of tilt: Health and
Safety/Contingency Plan with thi..: field crews and verify compliance with all the requirements within the
plan.
Apex will also conduct a Construction Kick-Off meeting to review the scope of'work and discuss specilic
issues related to the Remedial Action.
The following activities will also occur during Mobilization:
• Establishment of Site Security-On-site fences and other barriers will be erected in order to
isolate areas of contamination and prevent migration of the constituents.
•
•
Establishment of Field Office and Sanitary Facilities-An on-site field office and sanitary
facilities ';ill be erected in designated locations for on-site workers to ·utilize during all
phases of lield activities.
Delivery of Equipment and Personnel-All personnel will arrive at the site for the
commencement of field activities. All equipment needed for field activities is to be delivered
at or before the commencement of field activities. All equipment will be stored in a
designated area on site so as to minimize cross-contamination of affected areas.
• Establishment of Decontamination Facilities-Decontamination facilities will be erected for
each affected area at the site. Excavation will be accomplished with either a backhoe or track
hoc and material will be directly loaded onto dump trucks. The trucks will be brushed clean
of any soil that may have spilled during loading. Care will be taken to prevent
vehicles/trucks from driving over any area identified for remediation. If it is determined to be
necessary based on observations during loading operations, plastic may be rolled out to
prevent the truck tires from contacting .contaminated material. Once the material is loaded
Apex will complete an appropriate manifest prior to the material leaving the site.

4.2
•
•
Delivery and Set Up of Surface Water Treatment Components-Components of the
surface water treatment facility will_ be delivered and assembled approximately two weeks
prior to soil remediation activities. This ensures that the surface waters will be sufficiently
removed from the underlying soils and sludge for soil removal activities to take place.
Clearing and Access to Work Areas-At the time the surface water treatment facility is
erected, personnel will visit all affected areas at the Site in order to ensure vegetation or other
obstacles are cleared from all work areas.
Soil Remedial Action
The ROD identifies three areas that have contamination detected above the clean-up levels. These areas
arc the Scrap Copper Arca, the Drum Disposal Arca, and the Pipe Shop Arca. The ROD selected remedy
for' these areas is excavation and off-site disposal. Apex has been in discussion with New Hanm'cr
County Solid \\Taste Management and has tentatively reached agreement with them to receive the ' sediment,· soils and metal debris from the Site (sec Section 4.9 for details). After completion of the
removal of the impacted soils, native backfill (sand and silt) from the suITound.ing propc11y will be placed
into the respective cxca\'ations. Since cnch of the excavations is \'cry shallow, the backfill will be placed
in one lift. The location of these areas is shown on Figure 2.
4.2.1 Scrap Copper Arca
The Remedial Action in the Scrap Copper Arca involves the removal and disposal of soil in an area
measuring approximately 50 feet long by 50 feet wide and one foot deep. This excavation will result in
the removal of approximately 92 cubic yards of material.
Prior to excavation Apex will collect a composite sample within the proposed excavation to characterize
the soil for disposal. The results of this sampling will dctcmninc the appropriate disposal location. From
the previously generated data, Apex is anticipating the classification of these soils as non-hazardous and
we arc planning on the disposal of these soils in a Subtitle D landfill.
Excavation will be accomplished with either a backhoe or track hoe and material will be directly loaded
onto dump trucks. The trucks will be brushed clean of any soil that may have spilled during loading.
Care will be taken to prevent vehicles/trucks from driving over any area identified for remediation. If it is
determined to be necessary based on observations during loading operations, plastic may be rolled out to
prevent the truck tires from contacting contaminated material. Once the material is loaded Apex will
complete an appropriate manifest prior to the material leaving the site.
Upon completion of the specified excavation Apex will collect verification sample(s) to confimn the
adequacy of the Remedial Action. Sampling location and methodology are discussed in the PSVP. Once
the laboratory analysis is complete and the preliminary results are evaluated Apex will backfill the

excavated area with imported till or on-site borrow material. The area will be graded to provide positive
drainage away from the former Scrap Copper Area and the surface will be stabilized with straw or
temporary erosion control matting.
4.2.2 Drum Disposal Arca
The Remedial Action in the Drum Disposal Arra involves the removal and disposal of drums and soil in
an area measuring approximately 120 feet long by 50 feet wide and one foot deep. The area contains
remnants of drums that appear to have been used during the processing of wood products. The drums arc
essentially rusted shells with some drums containing solid residue. This excavation will result in the
removal of approximately 222 cubic yards of material.
Prior to excavation Apex will co\!cct a composite sample within the proposed excavation to characterize
the soil for disposal. The results of this sampling will dctcnnine the appropriate disposal location. From
the previously generated data, Apex is anticipating the classification of these drums and soils as non-
hazardous and. we arc planning on the disposal of these soils in a Subtitle D landfill.
Excavation will be accomplished with either a backhoe or track hoc and n1aterial will be directly loaded
onto dump· trucks. Removed drums will be segregated to extent possible. Drum removal will be
accomplished using a track hoc with a thumb attachment for grasping the drums. Physical condition of of
the drums precludes the need for over packing. Drums removed from the site will be sent to a Subtitle D
land till. The trucks will be brushed clean of any soil that may have spilled during loading. Care will be
taken to prevent vehicles/trucks from driving over any area identified for remediation. If it is dctcnnincd
to be necessary based on observations during loading operations, plastic may be rolled _out to prevent the
truck tires from contacting contaminated material. Once the material is loaded Apex will complete an
appropriate manifest prior to the material leaving the site.
Upon completion of the specified excavation Apex will collect verification samplc(s) to confirm the
adequacy of the Remedial Action. Sampling location and methodology arc discussed in the PSVP. Once
the laboratory analysis is complete and the preliminary results are evaluated Apex will install either
quicklime or granulated limestone over the entire excavation. The amount of material to be added has
been calculated to be 2,_500 pounds. The quantity of limestone has been calculated based on the solubility
of the calcium hydroxide (0.011 pounds/gallon), an aquifer porosity of 30-pcrcenl and an aquifer
thickness of.20-feet. The quantity oflimcstone will then "treat" approximately 10,000 square feet of area.
The material will be spread using the excavation machine and by hand. After the alkaline material has
been added, Apex will backfill the excavated area with imported till or on-site borrow material. The area
will be graded to provide positive drainage away from the former Drum Disposal Area and the surface
will be stabilized with straw or temporary erosion control matting.

4.2.3 Pipe Shop Area
February 2007
Section 4
The Remedial Action in the Pipe Shop Arca involves the removal and disposal of soil in an area
measuring approximately 20 feet long by 40 feet wide and one foot deep. This excavation will result in
the removal of approximately 30 cubic yards of material.
Prior to excavation Apex will collect a composite sample within the proposed excavation to characterize
the soil for disposal. The results of this sampling will determine the ,ippropriatc disposal location. From
the previously generated data, Apex is anticipating the classification of these soils as non-hazardous and
we arc planning on the disj,osal of these soils in a Subtitle D landfill.
Excavation will be accomplished with either a backhoe or track _hoc and material will be directly loaded
onto dump trucks. The trucks will be brushed clean of any soil· that may have spilled during loading.
Care will be taken to prevent vehicles/trucks from driving over any area identified for remediation. ! r it is
determined to be necessary based on observations during loadi1lg opcrationS, plastic may be rolled out to
prevent the truck tires from contacting contaminated material. Once the material is loaded Apex wi!I
complete an appropriate manifest prior to the material lcJving the sit..::.
Upon completion of the specified excavation Apex will collect one post-excavation verification samplc(s)
to confirm the adequacy of the Remedial Action. Sampling location and methodology arc discussed in
the PSVP. Once the laboratory analysis is complete and the preliminary res_ults arc evaluated Apex ,viii
backfill the excavated area with imported fill or on-site borrow material. The area will be graded to
provide positive drainage away from the former Pipe Shop Arca and the surface will be stabilized with
straw, pine mulch or temporary erosion control matting.
4.3 Sediment Remedial Action
The ROD identified four process ponds that were incorporated into the Remedial Action. The ponds arc .
identified as, Pond I (approximately I IO x 60 feet), Pond 2 (approximately 80 x 50 feet), Pond 3
(approximately 70 x 40 feet), and Pond 4 (approximately 70 x 60 feet). The ROD selected remedy for the
sediments in these Ponds is excavation and off-site disposal. Apex will collect a composite sample from
the removed sediments to characterize the sediment for disposal. The results of this sampling will
detcnninc the appropriate disposal location. From the previously generated data, Apex is anticipating the
classification of these sediments as non-hazardous and we arc planning on the disposal of these soils in a
Subtitle D landfill. Sec Figure 2 for the locations of the ponds and the sediment stabilization area.
Prior to the removal of sediment the surface water impounded at each pond will be removed and treated
with an on-site treatment system prior to discharge onsite. Complete detail on the water treatment system
is provided in the following section.

EPA ID Number NCD986187094 Section 4
Apex will prepare a staging area (likely to be the concrete pad adjacent to the Extractor) where the
sediments will be placed during removal from the ponds. This area will be modified to allow for the
drainage of any water from the staging area back into Pond 2. This modification is expected to include
the grading of the pad to the edge of Pond 2. Where this excavation removes the concrete, Apex will
install polyethylene sheeting to prevent water from impacting the soil. In coordination with the landfill
operator and based on material availability, Apex will then blend either a natural material such as wood
chips or sawdust or a man-made material such as cement kiln dust to stabilize the sediment prior to
disposal in a Subtitle D land11ll. These added materials will be used to create a material that passes the
paint 11lter liquid test which is the primary test that Apex is expecting the Solid Waste Authority to
require. The selected material(s) will be brought on-site on an as-needed basis to minimize stockpiling.
The stabilized _sediment will be placed into dump trucks for hauling to the land11ll. The trucks will be
brnshcd clean of any material that may have spilled during loading. Care will be taken to prevent
vehicles/trucks from driving over any area identified for remediation. If it is determined to be necessary
based on observations during loading operations, plastic may be rolled out to prevent -the truck tires from
con~acting contaminated material. Once the material is loaded Apex \\'ill complete an appropriate
manifest pri~,r to the material [('.3\'!ng the site.
Upon completion of the specified excavation Apex will collect post-excavation verification samplc(s) to
confirm the adequacy of the Remedial Action. Apex will al_so obtain field measurements to allow for the
preparation of as-built drawings to record final dimensions of the remediated area. Sampling location and
methodology arc discussed in the PSVP. Once the laboratory analysis is complete and the preliminary
results arc evaluated Apex will install erosion control matting, seeding and other systems to stabilize the
pond banks. The ponds will then be allowed to refill using rainfall, groundwater discharge and surface
run-off.
4.4 Surface Water Treatment and Disposal System'
While the complete details on the planned water treatment system arc subject to revision, Apex 1s
planning the following sequence of events:
•
•
•
•
•
Dcwateting of each pond in sequence using a self-priming centrifugal pump with a
floating suction;
Filtration of the water while transferring using I 00-micron bag filters;
Temporary storage of the water in _an aboveground tank;
Processing of the water through the treatment system which consists of ion exchange
resin for metals removal followed by activated carbon adsorption for organic
treatment;
Post-treatment filtration with a 20-micron bag filter; and
• On-site disposal.

Remedial A,·1fon Work Plan -Revision I
Reasor Chemical Site Remediation -Ca.'itle Hayne, North Carolina
EPA ID Number NCD986l87094
February 2007
Sedion 4
Contaminants of concern identified by the EPA during the Remedial Investigation in the surface water
accumulated in the four ponds included the following:
•
•
•
Metals: aluminum, copper, iron, lead and zinc ;
Volatile Organics: toluene, and;
Semi-volatile organics: fluoranthene, phcnanthrenc .
The selected treatment processes, ion-exchange resin for the metals and activated carbon adsorption for
the organics, was specifically selected for these contaminants of concern. The quantities of each material
(resin and carbon) were selected to treat up to 500,000-gallons of water utilizing no more 75-pcrccnt of
the media adsorptive capacity. The vendor supplying the treatment equipment has over 20-ycars of
· experience in processing both dilute (this Site) and concentrated wastewater for the removal of metals and
organic chemicals such as these found at the Site. Concentrations well below the ROD published cleanup
levels arc expected in the system effluent.
Performance monitoring of the treatment system will consist of sampling of the untreated and treated
water every 50,000-gallons of water processed. The results of the sampling will be comparcd_to available
data and the vendor model to determine if 1he either the resin or activated carbon arc approaching 75-
pcrccnt or their respective capacities. If either of these systcms reaches this capacity, Apex wi!I change-
out the respective system component with a new unit prior to restarting water treat~cnt. The system as
designed is capable of treating the pond contaminants prior to "reaching these treatment capacities.
The water treatment system will be staged adjacent to the spent wood chip storage area near the former
boiler house (sec Figure 2). Appendix E provides a schematic and specifications for the proposed system.
Treated surface water will be land-applied using low-pressure spray irrigation equipment within the
boundaries of the site. The planned disposal locations include the site areas adjacent to the boundary
access roads. By utilizing the site for disposal, a permit for the disposal of the treated water docs not
require a discharge permit.
4.5 Investigation Derived Wastes
The EPA has stockpiled drums containing wastes from previous investigations on-site. Apex will remove
these drums and dispose of them at a Subtitle D landfill as part of our remedial action. These drums are
presumed to contain personnel protective equipment, purge water, soil cuttings, sampling equipment,
small quantities of soils, sludges and possibly ground or surface water collected during the investigations.
These materials will be properly manifested prior to the materials being sent off-site.
4.6 Groundwater
The groundwater contaminants at the Site are likely due to the presence of natural clay lenses which have

been exposed to naturally acidic conditions. The placement of the alkaline material in the soils at the
Drum Disposal Area i~ expected to significantly impact the groundwater quality. The remaining issue
involves the sampling of the groundwater to minimize the entrainment of fine sediments during the
sampling. Existing groundwater monitoring wells MW-7S and MW-7D will monitored by Apex after
remediation. The remaining wells on the Site will be closed in accordance with State of North Carolina
well abandonment regulations.
To perform this sampling, Apex is going to use the QED low-flow sampling system. This sampling
system consists of an air-operated diaphragm pump, a flow cell which allows the real-time monitoring of
certain parameters, and the ability to accurately control the groundwater withdrawal rate. The monitoring
wells will be purged of three well ·volumes or until parameters such as pH, turbidity, specific
conductivity, and dissolved oxygen arc stabilized. The EPA publicatiOn Environmeniat Investigations
Standard Opern1i11g Procedures and Quality Assurance /t.1anual (E!SOPQA 1\-1) specifics the following
deltas when measuring !icld parameters and concluding that a well has been purged to steady-state
conditions:
Turbidity< l O NTUs (target absolute reading, may vary depending on specific conditions);
pH -delta oflcss than 0.1 standard units:.and
Conductivity -delta or less than I 0-percent or the last measured value
Apex will record in the project field book the measured values as the wells arc purged and when the
sampling takes place. The collected groundwater samples will be placed into laboratory-provided sample
containers, placed in ice and shipped. under custody control to the laboratory for analysis. Field records
and laboratory reports will be included in the Five-year report.
The use of the low-flow purging and sampling system has been approved by Region IV of the EPA.
Documentation on the sampling system and EPA approvals arc included with this RAP in Appendix E.
Details on the analysis of the samples and types of analyses to be performed are shown in the PSYP.
4.7 Decontamination Procedures
Apex will decontaminate field equipment, including excavation equipment, via steam cleaning.
Decontamination will take place on a lined pad built by Apex between the extractor pad and the copper
scrap area. Water collected in the pad will be pumped through the surface water treatment system and
disposed of on-site.
4.8 Management of Remediation Efforts
The Apex Project Management Plan is included with this work plan in Appendix A. Summarizing, Apex
will be using a designated manager structure where the remediation team (Remediation Superintendent)

will report independently to Apex's Director of Remediation, Mr. Michael Yost. Oversight of the
remediation effort will be provided on-site by the Field Sample Team Leader who reports to the Apex
Project Coordinator. Resolution of any conflicts between the remediation team and the Project
Coordinator will be perfonncd by Mr. Vince Direnzo, who is Chief Operations Officer for Apex.
4.9 Subtitle D Landfill
Apex has had preliminary discussions with New Hanover County concerning the use of their current
landfill as the disposal location of excavated and treated sediment, soils and drums from the remedial
action. The county has requested and Apex will provide specific historical sampling results for these
wastes for profiling purposes. Apex is expecting that these sampling results along with field testing for
"free·· liquids \Viii meet the county requirements for use of their landfill. Apex will provide mcdi~ testing
as needed by the county_ for our use or the landfill as the disposal location. Apex is not aware of any
ongoing compliance issues regarding the New Hanover County active lan<lfill.
4.10 As-Built Drawings
During the performance of the remedial action, Apex will perform surveying to locate the perimeters of
each of the areas undergoing remedial action, the location of the confirmation sampling, and the location
of the added limestone. The surveying will use the existing groundwater monitoring wells MW-7S and
MW-7D as the benchmarks for the survey. The survey infonnation will be used to publish the "as-built"
drawings of the remedial action.

Internal communication between Apex and the Owners or Owners Agents will be performed only
by the Project Coordinator or alternate. All internal Apex communication shall be copied to the
Project Coordinator and alternates.
External communication, when needed, between Apex and the regulatory agencies falls into two
subsets. Formal communication; letters, requests for changes to project and reports, must be
reviewed. by the Owners Agents/Prior Owner Agent prior to transmittal to either of the regulatory
agencies. Discussions occurring at the Site during field activities are the second subset. Requests
for information from representatives of the agencies will need to be evaluated to determine if the
topic being discussed will impact deliverables or schedule for the project. If the field
communication has the possibility to iinpact either item, the Project Coordinator must be
contacted to clarify/provide the answer. If not, the Apex team mc11:1bcr is to contact the senior on-
site Apex team member to provide the ansv,,cr to the agencies request. ALL
COMMUNICATION (FIELD NOTES, PHONE LOGS, EMAIL) IS TO RE COPIED TO

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANC~ PLAN
This Operations and Maintenance Plan (O&M Plan) covers the field activities needed· to be
perfonncd after completion of the remedial actions at the Reasor Chemical Superfund Site in
Castle Hayne, North Carolina (Site). The activities covered by this O&M Plan include field
inspections of the Site for soil erosion and differential settling, the establishment of vegetation
and the annual sampling of two existing groundwater monitoring wells.
FIELD SITE INSPECTION
Field inspections shall be perfonncd twice during the first year after completion of the remedial
action and then yearly until the completion of the four-year groundwater monitoring program.
The inspections shall include the following:
Review and photo documentation of pond embankments for erosion and
identification of banking areas needing repair;
Review of areas where soil excavation activities took place to determine if
.significant settling has occurred;
• Rcvic\v of establishment of vegetation in the above areas; and
Review or the stallls of the two existing moniioring wells to verify the wells
are secured and have not been tampered with.
Documentation of the field inspections shall be perfonncd through the use of a field inspection
memorandum that will document the date of the inspection, person performing the inspection,
results of the pond embankment survey, the results of the soil excavation area surveys and the
identification of any actions required and the schedule of the actions.
The field inspection memorandums will be included with the Five-year Report as appendices to
document the Site conditions.
GROUNDWATER MONITORING
The ROD and amendments specify that existing groundwater monitoring wells MW-7S and MW-
7D will be sampled yearly for the presence of aluminum. The sampling shall be done using the
QED low-flow sampling system. The sampling system consists ofa dedicated bladder type pump
operated by compressed gas, a flow-through monitoring chamber where field parameters can be
measured and the pump controller.
The dedicated well pumps shall be QED Model Tl 100 which is constructed of Teflon® bodies
and bladders. Each pump shall be equipped with a QED Model 37733 Teflon® intake screen
which has a 0.025 inch slotted screen. The pump shall be provided with a 3/8-inch diameter
Teflon tubing between the well pump and the flow monitoring chamber.
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
The monitoring chamber shali be QED Model MP-20DT which 1s capable of real-time·
monitoring of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and turbidity. The range of
variation for these parameters is as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
Temperature -±0.4° Fahrenheit
pH -±0.1 Standard units
Dissolved Oxygen -±0.2 milligrams per liter
Conductivity -±0.02 microSiemens per ccntime·ter
Turbidity-±10 NTU
When three of these parameters arc within the limits specified, the monitoring chamber will
audibly indicate compliance such that the well has been purged in accordance wi_th EPA
requirements for low-flow sampling and a sample can be collected. The initial purging rate of the
l\VO wells to be sampled will be no more than I 00 milliliters per minute. Placement of ·the
dedicated well pump, including tubing will take place at least 48-hours prior to collection of a
groundwater sample to minimize the suspension of fine silt and particles in the well.
The sampler shall record the all of the parameters (including turbidity), verify that the pH ts
within the limits specified in the ROD and amendments (7.2 and 8.5) and collect the sample into
the laborato"ry-providcd containers. The selected laboratory will be providing the sample
containers containing the required preservatives. After collection, the sample containers will be
placed on ice and shipped overnight with proper chain-of-custody procedures and controls.
Control of the well pumps shall be performed using QED Model MP-IO controller. The
controller allows for the repeatable control of well pump operation.
Field records on the sampling shall be placed into the project file system. The Five-year Report
will include these records when the report is prepared in 2011.

SECTION 7
GROUNDWATER SAMPLING
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES:
•
•
7.1 Introduction
To collect a sample representative of ground water residing in the fomiation of interest.
To reduce the potential bias caused by the sampling equipment used to obtain the sample .
Ground water sampling may be required for ri variety of reasons, such as examining potahk: or
industrial water supplies, checking for a~d/or tracking contaminant plume movement in the vicinity of a land
disposal or spill site, Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) compliance monitoring, or examining a
site where historical information is minimal or non-existent but where it is thought that ground water
contamination may have occurred.
Ground watc..:r samples arc usually obtained from either temporarily or pcrm.'.lncntly installed ground
water monitoring wells. They can also be obtained, howcva, anywhere ground water is present, such as in a
pit or a dug or drilled hole .
. Occasionally. the ground water source may not be in the ideal location to meet a particular objective
(e.g., to track a contaminant plume). In that case, either a temporary or permanent monitoring well should be
installed. An experienced and knowledgeable person will need to locate the well and supervise its
installation so that samples will be representative of the ground water.
Additional guidance is given in RCRA Ground-Water Monitoring: Technical Guidance (I) and
Chapter 11 of SW-846 (2). The ground water sampling procedures described in this SOP will meet or
exceed the requirements of these documents.
Ground water sampling procedures can be sub-divided into two areas, purging and sampling, each
of which has different goals and objectives. Within the topic of purging, it is necessary, because of the
inherently different characteristics of the two types of wells, to address permanent and temporary wells
separately. The procedures and techniques which follow in this section reflect these differences.

7.2 Purging
7.2.1 Purging and Purge Adequacy
Purging is the process of removing stagnant water from a monitoring well, immediately prior to
sampling, causing its replacement by ground water from the adjacent fonnation, which is representative of
actual aquifer conditions. In order to dctem1inc when a well has been adequately purged, field investigators
should: I) monitor the pH, specific conductance, temperature, and turbidity of the ground water removed
during purging; and 2) observe and record the volume of water removed ..
Prior to initiating the purge, the amount of water standing in the water column (water inside the well
riser and screen) should be dctennincd. To do this, the diameter of the well should be dctcnnincd and the
water level and total depth of the well arc measured and recorded. Specific methodology for obtaining these
measurements is found in Section 15.8 of this SOP. Once this infonnation is obtained, ihe volume of water
to be purged can be determined using one of several methods. One is the equation:
V = 0.041 d'h
Where: h = depth of water in feet
d = diameter of well in inches
V = volume of water in gallons
Alternatively, the volume may be determined using a casing volume per foot factor for th(;
appropriate diameter wcll,-similar to that in Table 7.2.1. The water level is subtracted from the total depth,
providing the length of the water column. This length is multiplied by the factor in the Table 7.2.1 which
con-esponds to the appropriate well diameter, providing the amount of water, in gallons, contained in the
well. Other acceptable methods include the use ofnomographs or other equations or formulae.
With respect to volume, an adequate purge is nom1ally achieved when three to five times the volume
of standing water in the well has been removed. The field notes should reflect the single well volume
calculations or dctcnninations, according to one of the above methods, and a reference to the appropriate
multiplication of that volume, i.e., a minimum three well volumes, clearly identified as a purge volume goal.
With respect to the ground water chemistry, an adequate purge is achieved when the pH, specific
conductance, and temperature of the ground water have stabilized and the.turbidity has either stabilized or is
below IO Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs). Ten NTUs is the goal for most ground water sampling
objectives. This is twice the_ Primary Drinking Water standard of 5 NTUs. Stabilization occurs when pH
measurements remain constant within 0.1 Standard Unit (SU), specific conductance varies no more that I 0
percent, and the temperature is constant for at least three consecutive readings. There are no criteria
establishing how many sets of measurements are adequate for the determination of stability. If the calculated
purge volume is small, the measurements should be taken frequently to provide a sufficient number of
measurements to evaluate stability. If the purge volume is large, measurements taken every 15 minutes may
be sufficient.
If, after three well volumes have been removed, the chemical parameters have not stabilized
according to the above criteria, additional well volumes may be removed. If the parameters have not
stabilized within five volumes, it is at the discretion of the project leader whether or not to collect ·a sample
or to continue purging. The conditions of sampling should be noted in the field log.

In some situations, even with slow purge rates, a well may be pumped or bailed dry (evacuated). In
these situations, this generally constitutes an adequate purge and the well can be sampled following
sufficient recovery (enough volume to allow filling of all sample containers). It is not necessary that the well
be evacuated three times before it is sampled. The pH, specific conductance, temperature, and turbidity
should be measured, during collection of the sample from the recovered volume, as the measurements of
record for the sampling event.
Attempts should be made to avoid purging wells to dryness. This can be accomplished, for
example, by slowing the purge rate. If a well is pumped dry, it may result in the sample being comprised
partially of water contained in the sand pack, which may be reflective, at least in part, of initial, stagnant
conditions. In addition, as water re-enters a well that is in an evacuated condition, it may cascade down the
sand pack or the well screen, stripping volatile organic constituents that may be present and/or introducing
soil fines into the water column.

Equipment Available
Monitoring well purging is accomplished by using in-place plumbing and dedicated pumps or, by
using portable pumps/equipment when dedicated systems arc not present. The equipment may consist of a
variety of pumps, including peristaltic, large and small diameter turbine (electric submersible), bladder,
centrifugal, gear-driven positive displacement, or other appropriate pumps. The use of any of these pumps is
. usually a function of the depth of the well being sampled and the amount of water that is to be removed
during purging. Whenever the head difference between the sampling location and the water level is less than
the limit of suction and the volume to be removed is reasonably small, a peristaltic pump should be used for
purging. Appendix E of this SOP contains the operating instructions for all pumps commonly used during
Branch ground water investigations.
Bailcrs may also be used for purging in appropriate situations, however, their use is discouraged.
Bailers tend to disturb any sediment that may be present in the well, creating or increasing sample turbidity.
!fa bailer is used, it should be a closed-top Teflon® bailer.
7.2.2 Purging Techniques (Wells Without Plumbing or In-Place Pumps)
For permanently installed wells, the depth of water and depth of the well should be detcm1ined (if
possible) before purging. Electrical water level indicators/well sounders can be used for this purpose. It is
standard rracticc to mark the top of casing, providing a point of rcfcrcn.cc from which these measurements
\vill be consistently made. Field investigators should look for !hcsc markings \Vhcn taking these
measurements. Extreme c~ution should be exercised during this procedure to prevent cross-contamination of
the wells. This is a critical concern when samples for trace organic compounds or metals analyses are
collected. At a minimum, the well sounding device should be cleaned by washing in a laboratory detergent
solution, followed by rinses with tap water and analytc-frcc water. After cleaning, it should be placed in a
clean plastic bag or wrapped in foil.
Purging with Pumps
When peristaltic pumps or centrifugal pumps arc used, only the intake line is placed into the water
column. The line placed into the water should be either standard-cleaned (sec Appendix B) Teflon® tubing,
for peristaltic pumps, or standard-cleaned stainless steel pipe attached to a hose for centrifugal pumps.
When submersible pumps (bladder, turbine, displacement, etc.) are used, the pump itself is lowered
into. the water column. The pump must be cleaned as specified in Appendix 13.
Purging with Bailers
Standard-cleaned (Appendix B) closed-top Teflon® bailcrs with Teflon® leaders and new nylon
rope arc lowered into top of the water column, allowed to fill, and removed. The water is either discarded or
contained and managed as investigation derived waste. It is critical that bailcrs be slowly and gently ·
immersed into the top of the water column, particularly during final stages of purging, to minimize turbidity
and disturbance of volatile organic constituents. The use ofbailers for purging and sampling is discouraged
because the correct technique is highly operator dependent.

Field Care of Purging Equipment
Regardless of which method is used for purging, new plastic sheeting should be placed on the
ground surface around the well casing to prevent contamination of the pumps, hoses, ropes, etc., in the event
they need to be placed on the ground during the purging or they accidentally come into contact with the
ground surface. II is preferable that hoses used in purging that come into contact with the ground water be
kept on a spool or contained in a plastic-lined tub, both during transporting and during field use, to further
minimize contamination from the transporting vehicle or ground surface.
Purging Entire Water Column
The pump/hose assembly or bailer used in purging should be lowered into the top of the standing
water column and not deep into the column. This i~ done so that the purging will "pull" water from the
formation into the screened area of the well and up through the casing so that the entire static volume can be
removed. If the pump is placed deep into the water column, the water above the pump may not be removed,
and the subsequent samples, particularly if collected \Vith a bailer, may not be representative of 1hc ground
water.
It is recommended that no more.than three to five feet of hose he lowered into the water column. If
the recovery rate of the well is faster than the pump rate and no observable draw down occurs, the pump
should be raised until the intake is within one foot of the top of the water column for the duration of purging.
If the, pump rate exceeds the recovery rate of the well, the pump will have to be lowered, as needed, to
;1ccommodatc the draw down. After the pump is removed from the well, all wetted po11ions of the hose and
the pump should be cleaned as outlined in Appendix B of this SOP.
Careful consideration shall be· given to using pumps to purge wells which arc excessively
contaminated with oily compounds, because it may be difficult to adequately decontaminate severely
contaminated pumps under field conditions. When wells of this type arc encountered, alternative purging
methods, such as hailers, should be considered.
General Low Flow/Low Stress Method Preference
The device with the lowest pump or water removal rate and the least tendency to stress the well
during purging should be selected for use. For example, if a bailer and a peristaltic pump both work in a
given situation, the pump should be selected because it will greatly minimize turbidity, providing a higher
quality sample (Section 7.2.4 contains a description of low flow purging and sampling with a peristaltic
pump used in a temporary well). If a Fultz® pump or a Grundfos Rcdi-Flo2® could both be used, the Redi-
Flo2® may be given preference because the speed can be controlled to provide a lower pump rate, thereby
minimizing turbidity.
Low Flow/Low Volume Purging Techniques/Procedures
Alternatives to the low flow purging procedures exist and may be acceptable. The low flow/low
volume purging is a procedure used to minimize purge water volumes. The pump intake is placed within the
screened interval at the zone of sampling, preferably, the zone with the highest flow rate. Low flow rate
purging is conducted after hydraulic conditions within the well have re-stabilized, usually within 24 to 48
hours. Flow rates should not exceed the recharge rate of the aquifer. This is monitored by measuring the top
of the water column with a water· level recorder or similar device while pumping. These techniques,
however, arc only acceptable under certain hydraulic· conditions and are not considered standard procedures.

7.2.3 Purging Techniques -Wells with In-Place Plumbing
Wells with in-place plumbing arc commonly found at municipal water treatment plants, industrial
water supplies, private residences, etc. Many permanent monitoring wells at active facilities are also
equipped with dedicated, in-place pumps. The objective of purging wells with in-place pumps is the same as
with monitoring wells without in-place pumps, i.e., to ultimately collect a sample representative of the
ground water. Among the types of wells identified in this section, two different approaches arc necessary.
The permanent monitoring wells with in-place pumps should, in all respects, be treated like the monitoring
well without pumps. They generally are sampled only occasionally and require purging •as described for
wells without in-place pumps, i.e., 3 to 5 well volumes and stable parameters.
In the case of the other types of wells, however, not enough is generally known about the
constmction aspects of the wells to apply the same criteria as used for monitoring wells, i.e., 3 to 5 well
volumes. The volume to be ptirgcd in these situations, therefore, depends on several factors: whether the
pumps arc running continuously or intcnnittcntly and whether or not any storage/pressure tanks arc located
between the sampling point and the pump. The following considerations and procedures should be followed
when purging wells with in-place plumbing under the conditions described.
Conti11uously Running Pumps
If the pump nms more or less continuously, no purge (other than opening a valve and allowing it to
flush for a few minutes) is ncccssa1y. If a storage tank is pr-.:scnt, a spigot, valve or other sampling point
should be located between the pump a"nd the storage lank. If not, locate the valve closest to the rank.
M~asuremCnts. of pH, specific conductance, temperature, and turbidity arc recorded al the time of sampli)1g.
lnicrmittcntly Running Pumps
If the pump mns intermittently, it is necessary to dctcnnine, if possible, the volume to be purged,
including storage/pressure tanks that arc located prior to the sampling location. The pump should then be
nm continuously until the required volume has been purged. If constmction characteristics arc not known,
best judgement should be used in establishing how long to mn the pump prior to collecting the sample.
Generally, under these conditions, 30 minutes will be adequate. Measurements of pH, specific conductance,
temperature and ttirbidity should be made and recorded at intervals during the purge and the final
measurements made at the time of sampling.
7.2.4 Purging Techniques -Temporary Monitoring Wells
Temporary ground water monitoring wells differ froin pennanent wells because temporary wells arc
installed in the ground water for immediate sample acquisition. Wells of this type may include standard well
screen and riser placed in boreholes created by hand augering, power augering, or by drilling. They may
also consist of a rigid rod and screen that is pushed, driven, or hammered into place to the desired sampling
interval, such as the Direct Push Wellpoint®, the Geoprobe® and the Hydropunch®. As such, the efforts to
remove several volumes of water to replace stagnant water do not necessarily apply in these situations,
because generally, stagnant water is non-existent. It is important to note, however, that the longer a
temporary well is in place and not sampled, the more appropriate it may be to apply, to the extent possible,
standard pennanent monitoring well purging criteria to it.
In cases where the temporary well is to be sampled immediately after installation, purging is
conducted primarily to mitigate the impacts of installation. In most cases, temporary well installation
procedures disturb the existing aquifer conditions, resulting primarily iri increased turbidity. Therefore, the
goal of purging is to reduce the turbidity and remove the volume of water in the area directly impacted by

the installation procedure. Low turbidity samples in these types of wells are typically and routinely achieved
by the use of low-flow purging and sampling techniques.
The following low-flow purging technique using peristaltic pumps has been used routinely to
achieve acceptably low NTU values in a variety of temporary monitoring well applications.
In purging situations where the elevation of the top of the water column is no greater than approx-
imately 25 feet below the pump head elevation, a peristaltic pump may be used to purge temporary wells.
Enough tubing is deployed to reach the bottom of the temporary well screen. At the onset of purging, the
tubing is slowly lowered to the bottom of the screen and is used to remove any fonnation material which
may have entered the well screen during installation. This is critical to ensuring rapid achievement of low
turbidity conditions. After the fonnation material is removed from the bottom of the screen, the tubing is
slowly raised through the water column to near the top of the column. The tubing can be held at this level to
determine if the pump is lowering the water level in the well. If not, secure the tubing at the surface to
maintain this pumping level.
If the water column is lowered, and the pump is not variable speed, continue to lower the tubing ns
the \Valer column is lo\\'crccl. If a variable speed peristaltic pt.imp is being used and draw down is observed
on initiation of pumping, reduce the pump speed and attempt to match the draw down of the well. Sustained
pumping at these slow rates will usually result in a relatively clear, low turbidity sample. If the draw down
stabilizes, maintain that level, hO\vcvcr, if it continues to lower, "chase" the water column until the well is
cvaCuatcd. In this case, the recovered \vatcr column may be relati\'cly free of turbidity and can be sampled.
It may take scvGral episodes ofrccovci)' to provide enough vulumc for a complete sample. ·
With many of the direct push sampling techniques, no purging is conducted. The sampling device is
simply pushed to the desired depth and opened and the sample is collected and retrieved.
7.3 Sampling
Sampling is the process of obtaining, containerizing, and preserving the ground water sample after
the purging process is complete. Non-dedicated pumps for sample collection generally should not be used.
Many pumps arc made of materials, such as brass, plastic, rubber, or other elastomer products which may
cause chemical interferences with the sample. Their principle of operation may also render them
unacceptable as a sample collection device. The pump may be turbine driven, which may release volatile
organic constituents, It is recognized that there arc situations, such as industrial or municipal supply wells or
private residential wells, where a well may be equipped with a dedicated pump from which a sample would
not nom1ally be collected. Discretion should always be used in obtaining a sample.
7.3.1 Equipment Available
Because of the problems with most pumps described in the preceding paragraph, only three devices
should be used to collect ground water samples from most wells. These are the peristaltic pump/vacuum jug
assembly, a stainless steel and Teflon® bladder pump, and a closed-top, Teflon® bailer.
Other monitoring equipment used during sampling includes water level indicators, pH meters,
thermometers, conductivity bridges, and ncphelometers.
7.3.2 Sampling Techniques -Wells With In-Place Plumbing
Samples should be collected following purging from a valve or cold water tap as near to the well as

possible, preferably prior to any storage/pressure tanks that might be present. Remove any hose that may be
present before sample collection and reduce the flow to a low level to minimize sample disturbance,
particularly with respect to volatile organic constituents. Samples should be collected directly into the
appropriate containers (sec Standard Sample Containers, Appendix A). Also, refer to the Potable Water
Supply discussion in Section 2.8. All measurements for pH, specific conductance, temperature, and turbidity
should be recorded at the time of measurement.
7.3.3 Sampling Techniques -Wells without Plumbing
Following purging, samples should be collected using a peristaltic pump/vacuum jug assembly, a
Tellon®/stainless steel bladder pump, or a closed-top Teflon® bailer. These techniques arc described
below.
Peristaltic pump/vacuum jug
The peristaltic pump/vacuum jug can be used for sample collection because it allows for sample
collection without the sample coming in contact with the pump tubing. This is accomplished by placing a
Tcllon® trnnsfcr cap assembly onto the neck of a standard cleaned 4-liter (I-gallon) glass container.
Teflon® tubing (¼-inch O.D.) connects the container to both the pump and the sample source. The pump
creates a vacuum in the container, thereby drawing the sample into the container without it coming into
contact with the pump tubing.
Samples for volatile org~mic compound ana!y~is should be collcctc<l using a bailer or by filling the
Teflon® tube, by one of two methods, and allowing it to drain into the sample vials. The tubing can be
momentarily attached to the pump to fill the tube with water. After the initial water is discharged through
the pump head, the tubing is quickly removed from the pump and a gloved thumb placed on the tubing to
stop the water from draining out. The _tubing is then removed from the well and the water allowed to drain
into the sample vials. Alternatively, the lubing can be lowered into the well the desired depth and a gloved
thumb placed over the end of the tubing. This method will capture the water contained in the tubing. It can
then be removed from the well and the water collected by draining the contents of the tubing into the sample
vials. Under no circumstances should the sample for volatile organic compound analysis _be collected from
the content of any other previously filled container. All equipment should be cleaned using the procedures
described in Appendix B. Also, refer to the Potable Water Supply discussion, Section 2.2, for additional
infonnation.
Bladder Pumps
After purging has been accomplished with a bladder pump, the sample is obtained directly from the
_pump discharge. If the discharge rate of the pump, during purging, is too great, so as to make sample
collection difficult, care should be taken to reduce the discharge rate at the onset of actual sample collection.
This is necessary to minimize sample disturbance, particularly with respect to samples collected for volatile
organic compounds analysis.

Bailers
When bailing, new plastic sheeting should be placed on the ground around each well to provide a
clean working area. The nylon rope should be attached to the bailer via a Teflon® coated stainless steel
wire. This coated wire is semi-pemiancntly attached to the bailer and is decontaminated for reuse as the
bailer is cleaned. The bailer should be gently immersed in the top of the water _column until just filled. At
this point, the bailer should be carefully removed and the contents emptied into the appropriate sample
containers.
7.3.4 Sample Preservation .
Immediately after collection, all samples requmng preservation must be preserved with the
appropriate preservative. Consult Appendix /\ for the con-eel preservative for the particular analytcs of
interest. /\II samples preserved using a pH adjustment (except VOCs) must be checked, using pH strips, to
ensure that lhcy \vcrc adequately preserved. This is done by pouring a small volume of sample over the
strip. Do not place the strip in the sample.
7.3.5 Special Sample Collection Procedures
Trace Organic Compounds and Metals
Special sample handling procedures should be instituted when trace contaminant samples arc being
collected. Al! sarnpling cquipmcm, including pumps, hailers, water level mcasurcmCnt equipment, etc.:
which come::; into contact \\'ith the water in the well must be L·!cancd in JccordailCC with the cleaning
procedures described in Appendix 13. Pumps should not be used for sampling, unless the interior and
exterior portions of the pump and the discharge hoses arc thoroughly cleaned .. Blank samples should be
collected to dctcnninc the adequacy of cleaning prior to collection of any sample using a pump.
Filtering
As a standard practice, ground water samples will not be filtered for routine analysis. Filtering will
usually only be performed to dctcnninc the fraction of major ions and trace metals passing the filter and used
for now system analysis and for the purpose of geochemical spcciation modeling. Filtration is not allowed
to con-eel for improperly designed or constructed monitoring wells, inappropriate sampling methods, or poor
sampling technique.
When samples arc collected for routine analyses and arc filtered, such as under conditions of
excessive turbidity, both filtered and non-filtered samples will be submitted for analyses. Samples for
organic compounds analysis should not be filtered. Prior to filtration of the ground water sample for
any reason other than geochemical spcciation modeling, the following criteria must be demonstrated to
justify the use of filtered samples for inorganic analysis:
I.

The monitoring wells,' whether temporary or permanent, have been constructed and
developed in accordance with Section 6.
The ground water samples were collected using sampling techniques in accordance with this
section, and the ground water samples were analyzed in accordance with US-EPA approved
methods.

Efforts have been undertaken to minimize any persistent sample turbidity problems. These
efforts may consist of the following:
•
•
Redevelopment or re-installation of permanent groun_d water monitoring wells .
Implementation of low flow/low stress purging and sampling techniques .
Turbidity measurements should be taken during purging and sampling to demonstrate
stabilization or lack thereof These measurements should be documented in the field notes.
Ir the ground water sample appears to have either a chemically-induced elevated turbidity, such as
would occur with precipitate fonnation, or a naturally elevated colloid or fine, particulate-related turbidity,
filtration will not be allowed.
If filtration is necessa,y for purposes of geochemical modeling or other pre-approved cases, the
following procedures arc suggested:
I.
2.
3.
Accomplish in-line filtration through the use of disposable, high capacity Qltcr cartridges
(bancl-typc) or membrane filters in an in-line filter apparatus. The high capacity, barrel-
type 11lter is preferred due to the higher surface area associated with this configuration. If a
membrane filter is utilized, a minimum diameter of 142 mm is suggested.
Use a 5 iun pOrc-sizc filter for the purpose of determining the colloidal cons1i1uc11t
concentrations. A 0.1 ~tm pore-size filter should be used to remove nlost non-dissolved
particles.
Rinse the cartridge or barrel-type filter with 500 milliliters of the solute (ground water to be
sampled) prior to collection of sample. If a membrane filter is used, rinse with 100
milliliters of solute prior to sample collection.
Potential di ffcrcnces could result from variations in f,Jtration procedures used to process water
samples for the determination of trace clement concentrations. A number of factors associated with 11ltration
can substantially alter "dissolved" trace clement concentrations; these include filter pore size, filter type,
filter diameter, filtration method, volume of sample processed, suspended sediment concentration, suspended
sediment grain-size distribution, concentration of colloids and colloidally-associated trace clements, and
concentration of organic matter_ Therefore, consistency is critical in the comparison of short-term and long-
tcm1 results. Further guidance on filtration may be obtained from the following: I) Metals in ground Water:
Sampling Artifacts and Reproducibility (3); 2) Filtration of Ground Water Samples for Metals Analysis (4);
and 3) Ground Water Sampling - A Workshop Summary (5).
Bacterial Sampling
Whenever wells (normally potable wells) are sampled for bacteriological parameters, care must be
taken to ensure the sterility of all sampling equipment and all other equipment entering the well. Further
information regarding bacteriological sampling is available in· the following: I) Sampling for Organic
Chemicals and Microorganisms in the Subsurface (6); 2) Handbook for Evaluating Water Bacteriological
Laboratories (7); and 3) Microbiological Methods for Monitoring the Environment, Water and Wastes (8).

7.3.6 Specific Sampling Equipment Quality Assurance Techniques
All equipment used to collect ground water samples shall be cleaned as outlined in Appendix B and
repaired, if necessary, before being stored at the conclusion of field studies. Cleaning procedures utilized in
the field (Appendix 13), or field repairs shall be thoroughly documented in field records.
7.3.7 Auxiliary Data Collection
During ground water sample collection, it is important to record a variety of ground water related
data. fncluded in the category of auxiliary data are water level measurements, well volume determinations,
pumping rates during purging, and occasionally, drillers or boring logs. This infomiation should be
documented in the field records. Well volume determinations arc described in Section 7.2.1.
\Vatcr Level Measurements
Water table measurements from the top of the well casings (referenced to National Geodetic Vc11ical
Datum) in permanent wells, and ground surface elevations in temporary wells should.be made to assist in
determining the general direction of ground water llow and gradient. The methodology to be used to
determine well water levels arc given in Section 15.8. Tracer dyes and radioactive and thcm1al detection
methods can be used _ to dctcm1inc direction and velocities of flmv (9). A ]so, a study of the general
topography and drainage patterns will generally indicate direction of ground \Valer flow.
The ground surface elevation and top of casing elevation at the wells should be dctcrn1incd hy stand-
ard engineering survey practices as outlined in Section 15.
Well Pumping Rate -Bucket/Stop Watch Method
The pumping rate for a pump can be determined by collecting the discharge from the pump in a
bucket of known volume and timing how long it takes to fill the bucket. The pumping rate should be in
gallons per minute. This method shall be used primarily with pumps with a constant pump rate, such as
gas9line-powercd or electric submersible pumps. Care should be taken when using this method with some
battery-powered pumps. As the batteries' charge decreases, the pump rate also decreases so that pumping
rate calculations using initial, high pump rates may be erroneously high. Tf this method is used with battery-
powered pumps, the rate should be re-checked frequently to ensure accuracy of the pumping rate
calculations.

protection for 2.ll down-stream equipment.
VESSEL CONSTRUCTION: Our model 88 single vessels arc
designed for opcr:iting up to 150 PSf at 300' F. The housing design
provides a large sump area at the bottom of the basket for
particulate accumulation. This design utilizes the filtl,r more
efficiently and prolongs the element life.
';'he 316 S.S. basket seals unto a viton o-ring to eliminate paniculatc bypass between ti:,c basket and scat. Optional mc,ib01ined str•iner baskets a.~d o-rings are available. Pleas,: refer to their individual brochures in our liquid c~..ta)og.
A veot in the housing lid and a dn1io port in the housing speed evacuation and filling. Gauge ports are localed on the body of the housing to install gauges for monitoring the differential pressure ;•.cross the bag. Permanemly piped housings are opened with simple tools without disturbing the piping. Swing bolts with eye-nuts allow easy opening and closing of the swing-lid. No need to remove any hardware.
As a· standard finish, all vessels are blast cleaned and paint~d inside and out with a 2-part epm:y. Stainless steel vessels are supplied with a satin finish.
