consist of drilling and constructing observation wells in the Denver Basin and Lower South Platte <br />Regions. <br />0 <br />Approach: <br />Task 33.1 Phase 1 Data Collection Program Design. <br />The Consultant will develop a data collection program for new wells that will include <br />procedures for site access, control and reclamation, well drilling, sampling and well <br />construction, borehole and core sample testing; water level measurements, health and safety, <br />field QA/QC protocols, and field documentation requirements. <br />The Consultant will identify suitable locations and methods for up to 15 alluvial aquifer and 1 <br />bedrock monitoring wells to be constructed during Phase 1. <br />Maps will be developed that depict areas considered to be high priorities for collection of new <br />hydrogeologic data. They will show the location of existing data points and, if available, the <br />location of wells currently in use or planned as part of upcoming USGS and SEO monitoring <br />programs in the subj ect basins. <br />Existing wells will be evaluated for use and testing in lieu of installing new wells, such as the <br />USGS NAWQA Cycle 2 drilling and sampling program within the South Platte River basin. <br />In subsequent years it is expected that the workplan will be amended to include the procedures <br />for new field tasks that will begin in that year, including pumping tests and measuring water <br />levels in existing wells starting with Phase 2 funding, and streambed conductance testing in <br />Phase 3. <br />Deliverables: <br />Task 33.2 Field Study Workplan <br />The Consultant will develop a field study workplan of approximately 10-15 pages (with <br />additional pages for appendices) that will include the following sections: -Target areas for well <br />construction and associated data collection <br />-Field protocols as defined in Task 33.1. <br />-Budget and schedule for the program, including an itemized engineer's estimate of well <br />drilling and testing costs for each conceptual well design. <br />The Consultant will provide a draft Field Study Workplan for the State's review. The Consultant <br />will incorporate the State's comments and recommendations and provide a Final Field Study <br />Workplan. Six hard copies and one digital copy in MSWord and Adobe Acrobat PDF format will <br />be provided. <br />SPDSS Groundwater SOW, Phase 1 Page 11 <br />
