' 2019 GROUNDWATER MONITORING REPORT <br /> 2 GROUNDWATER SAMPLING ACTIVITIES <br /> This section discusses the groundwater sample collection methods, and sample handling and chain of <br /> custody procedures. Groundwater sampling was conducted at monitoring wells MW-7, MW-12, and MW- <br /> 13 (Figure 2) on March 20, 2019. <br /> rGroundwater sampling activities included measurement of the depth to groundwater and depth to well <br /> bottom at monitoring wells MW-7, MW-9, MW-11, MW-12, MW-13, DP-1, and NP-1; and piezometers P-2 <br /> ' and P-3. Depth to groundwater was measured using an electronic water level indicator. Depth to <br /> groundwater and well bottom was measured prior to purging and sampling monitoring wells MW-7, MW- <br /> 12, and MW-13. <br /> The groundwater samples were collected in accordance with the groundwater monitoring protocol set <br /> forth in the GMP (BBL 2002). Prior to collecting the groundwater samples, these monitoring wells were <br /> purged using a disposable Teflon°bailer. In general, three well volumes in each well were removed <br /> ' before collecting a water sample. However, due to the slow recharge in MW-7 it was not possible to purge <br /> three well volumes from MW-7 within a reasonable period of time. MW-7 was purged dry and left to <br /> recharge prior to collecting the sample. The field water quality parameters in wells MW-12 and MW-13, <br /> including temperature, pH, and specific conductivity were stable (i.e., less than a 10 percent change <br /> between readings) after three well volumes and samples for laboratory analysis were subsequently <br /> collected from each well using the disposable bailer. One duplicate sample was collected from MW-12. <br /> Samples were placed directly into laboratory-supplied containers and kept on ice in a cooler. Copies of <br /> the groundwater sampling forms are included in Appendix C. <br /> The unfiltered groundwater samples were then shipped to ACZ Laboratories, Inc. (ACZ) located in <br /> Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The samples were submitted for analysis of metals (iron, manganese, <br /> potassium, and sodium), total dissolved solids (TDS), and sulfate. The samples collected for dissolved <br /> analytes were lab filtered upon receipt at the laboratory. In addition, temperature, pH, and specific <br /> ' conductivity were measured in the field. <br /> r <br /> 1 arcadis com <br />
