1. 3 x Year monitoring shall be conducted in March. July & November: Annual monitoring shall be conducted every November.
2. The measurement of water levels shall he 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. -fire measurement
of fill shall be made alter 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 I'or each monitoring %veil. The measuring points (top
of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In November only, analyze by one of the following methods:
a. Standard Method 6230D. PQI, at 0.5 fig/L or less
b. Standard Method 6210D. PQL at 0.5 µg/I, or less
C. EPA Method 802I. 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 ol'Standard Method 62301).
c. The method used must provide a PQI. of 0.5 jig/I, or less that must be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the DNVQ Laboratory Certification I Inil. Any constituents
detected above the MIDI, but below the PQI, of 0.5 Itg/L must be qualified (estima(ed) and reported.
5. If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C. then the Washington Regional Office Aquifer Protection Supervisor. telephone
number (252) 946-6481. must be con(acted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
6. 11- TOC concentrations greater than 10 nrg/I are detected in any downgradient monitoring well. additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents
comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l. this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring
TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall he subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
7. Monitoring wells shall he reported consistent w ith the nomenclature and location information provided by the Pennit(ce in accordance with Condition 1. 3.and this attachment.
