1. Annual monitoring shall be conducted every December.
2. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the
top of the casing. The measurement of pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters_
3. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring
well. The measuring points (top of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), analyze by one of the following methods:
WQ0018087 Version 1.1 Attachment C Page 1 of 2
a. Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 6_5 µg/L or less
b. Standard Method 6210D, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
c. EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg[L or less
e. Another method with prior approval by the Aquifer Protection Section Chief
Any method used must meet the following qualifications:
a. A laboratory must be DWQ certified to run any method used.
b. The method used must, at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D.
c. The method used must provide a PQL of 0.5 µg/L or less that must be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the DWQ Laboratory
Certification Unit. Any constituents detected above the MDL but below the PQL of 0.5 µg/L must be qualified (estimated) and reported.
If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Wilmington Regional Office Aquifer
Protection Supervisor, telephone number (910) 796-7215, must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses
required.
6. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in Figure 2 and this attachment.
