The key to success of any ground-water monitoring program
This 2 1/2-day field course examines in detail all elements of monitoring well and monitoring network design and well placement, including site-specific geology, hydrogeology and geochemistry; environmental drilling methods; and well design, construction and development per ASTM Standard Practices. Time is devoted to discussing design and use of small-diameter wells that can be installed using direct-push, sonic and hollow-stem auger drilling methods. These wells are now considered a viable alternative to traditional monitoring wells installed using mud rotary drilling. This course features one half-day field session that covers site characterization methods, including discrete and continuous soil sampling, and discrete ground-water sampling, installation of a small-diameter well, and demonstration of a multi-level monitoring system. |
