Looks Like Clean Artesian Well Water – Guess What? The Water Contains – Bacteria, Iron, Manganese,  Arsenic (above Drinking Water Standards) Smells Like Rotten Eggs (sulfur), and is Corrosive.
The Paper Work- Is the Start of the Chain-of-Custody Process ? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Chain-of-Custody It does not start here.
Chain-of-Custody ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

When Should We Use Chain-of Custody ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Keep the Process Simple ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Chain-of-Custody Once the Parameters have been Selected- The Chain-of-Custody Process Starts Here with the Certified Laboratory Image Source-http://www.epa.gov/apti/coc/
Step 1. Sampling Preparations ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],If you are working for a Company – Work in Mixed Teams ! Baseline Testing
Well Purging / Field Monitoring ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Take Lots of Digital Photos !
Entrance Photo Locate Well Look for Treatment (Bypass System) Work as a Team
Landscape Perspective Problems – Note Plug Missing Set a Positioning Standard
The Existing Conditions – Make Sure to Look for Treatment ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Look for Treatment What we have no treatment ?  Really Make Sure to By-Pass Treatment Systems Note – Not all Systems have by-pass features.
Look for Treatment Reverse Osmosis Unit – Basement  Closet on the Floor System in Garage – Two Rooms Away from the Pressure Tank
Photo Document Sampling Site, Purging, and Monitoring Process
Purge Time, minutes C O N C E N T R A T I O N 1 WBV = 45 minutes   Methane Increases with Purge Time. How Many Private Well Owners Normally Let Water Run for 45 minutes
Wellbore Volume- Volume of Water in Storage (WBV) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],50 ft 1 ft 250 ft
1 ft 250 ft 1 ft 250 ft 50 ft 75 ft Specific Capacity =  Gpm/ft of drawdown gpm = 5 gpm Static Water Level – 50 feet Dynamic Level – 200 feet Sc = (5 gpm/ (150 ft))= Sc = 0.03 gpm/ft drawdown Estimating Specific Capacity Less head pressure more methane will  be released. Methane

Should You or Your Company Rely on Some Standard List of Baseline Testing Parameters  ? Baseline Testing in PA- Are You Relying on this? We Use the PSU 3- Tier Approach We Test for Parameters Recommend by PADEP We Use Parameters Recommended by an Organization We Use Parameters Recommended by Our Certified Lab ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
For the Record ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Same Baseline Parameters? Quarry Saline Seeps Mixed Hazards Really – We are Going to Use List of Parameters for  Every Well in PA?
Citizen Database at Wilkes University- Guidelines for Submission II. Guidelines for Data Submission 1. Third Party Samplers following chain-of-custody to certified laboratory. 2. Submit detailed reports from certified laboratory with a GPS position for the well.  3. The water sample must be collected ahead of any water treatment system. 4. other conditions – Learn More at the Our Website. 5.

Editor's Notes

  1. This slide is a good opportunity to describe the work that the speaker’s company does concerning the location and construction of residential water wells. The speaker should describe his/her experience with these subjects.
