Handbook of Suggested Practices for the Design and Installation of Ground-Water Monitoring Wells

by NGWA staff under contract with the U.S. EPA's Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory
NGWA

This book presents practices currently used in the design and installation of monitoring wells. Emphasis is placed on the constraints dictated by hydrogeology conditions and limitations imposed by the availability of equipment to do the work that is needed. These constraints are balanced against the need to construct a well that will allow sampling, testing, and introduction of necessary tools. A matrix is provided to assist in the evaluation of drilling techniques. Procedures for equipment decontamination, well installation and completion, well development, well management, and well abandonment are discussed.

Soil-Gas Sensing for Detection and Mapping of Volatile Organics

by Devitt, Evans, Jury, Starks, Eklund, and Gholson
NGWA

A compilation of all pertinent information on the state of the art in soil-gas sensing as it relates to the detection of subsurface organic contaminants are covered in this publication. Soil organic vapor monitoring has been shown to be a cost-effective means of delineating the size and movement of organic contaminants in the subsurface.
