Mr. Chris aressel <br />pB1072.400.0002 <br />gcinuary 27, 2014 <br />rrage 5 <br />described above. Between each of the sampling locations, the drilling rods and well screen will be <br />decontaminated by washing with Alconox and water solution and rinsing with deionized water. <br />r p to 28 groundwater samples plus 20 n A/n C samples, collected from the temporary boreholes using <br />direct -push technologies, will be analyzed for s I Cs. Five field blanks and five trip blanks will also be <br />analyzed for s I Cs. Costs for the laboratory analyses assume i evel Is data packages will be provided <br />by the laboratory, as required by the IaEM s om <br />Following installation of the temporary sampling points, eight deep and shallow nested monitoring wells <br />will be installed on -pite to further evaluate the potential presence of Cl Cs in groundwater along the <br />western perimeter of the pite (along prairie Avenue /Chapin ptreet); and off -pite to further evaluate the <br />downgradient distribution of s I Cs north and east of the pite. Final locations of permanent monitoring <br />wells will be determined during proposed meetings with the City, its outside counsel, and Mr. Ed ptefanek <br />of t eaver -Boos Consultants. poil borings associated with the proposed monitoring wells will be drilled <br />using 4.25 -in., inside - diameter hollow -stem augers and continuously sampled using 24 -in. split -spoon <br />samplers to the appropriate depth (i.e., either 30 feet bgs or 45 feet bgs). pimilar to the locations of the <br />direct -push sampling points, the final locations of the monitoring wells may be modified based on field <br />observations. Although the deeper boring at each location will be continuously sampled, soil samples are <br />not proposed to be submitted for laboratory analyses as part of the monitoring well installation. <br />Monitoring wells will be constructed of pchedule 40 rm C slotted screens and risers. I nce the targeted <br />depth has been reached, the well column will be slowly lowered to the base of the borehole. A clean silica <br />quartz sand filter pack will be placed around the screen and will extend no more than two feet above the <br />top of the screen. podium bentonite chips or pellets will then be placed on top of the sand pack. Above <br />the chips or pellets, a thick bentonite slurry will be pumped into the annular space using a tremie pipe to a <br />depth of approximately three feet below ground surface. The remaining three feet will be filled with <br />concrete to anchor a flush -mount manhole. <br />Monitoring wells will be developed following installation to remove fines that may have entered the well <br />screen or filter pack during installation. t ell development activities will continue until pH, temperature, <br />and conductivity have stabilized for three consecutive well volumes, or until five well volumes have been <br />removed, whichever is greater. aevelopment waters will be collected and stored in a al T approved 55- <br />gallon drum. Costs to remove, transport, and dispose of approximately 52 55- gallon drums of <br />containerized groundwater and drill cuttings (which are presumed to be non - hazardous) are included in <br />this task. <br />Following the installation of these newer monitoring wells, the top of casing and ground elevations of the <br />new wells will be surveyed so that the groundwater elevations measured in these wells can be compared <br />relative to the other wells in the monitoring network. <br />Task 4 Conduct Quarterly Groundwater Monitoring <br />Following the installation of new monitoring wells, a routine of quarterly groundwater sample collection <br />from all monitoring wells is proposed. This will establish a baseline and, after several quarters, will begin <br />to allow for seasonal trend analysis. After four to six quarters, a sufficient trend should be established to <br />allow for an analysis of whether certain monitoring wells can be removed from the quarterly sampling <br />routine, with IaEM concurrence. <br />
