1、Designation: D 5092 04e1Standard Practice forDesign and Installation of Ground Water Monitoring Wells1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5092; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revi
2、sion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.e1NOTEEditorial changes were made throughout in June 2004.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes a methodology for designing andinstalling co
3、nventional (screened and filter-packed) ground-water monitoring wells suitable for formations ranging fromunconsolidated aquifers (i.e., sands and gravels) to granularmaterials having grain-size distributions with up to 50 %passing a #200 sieve and as much as 20 % clay-sized material(i.e., silty fin
4、e sands with some clay). Formations finer than this(i.e., silts, clays, silty clays, clayey silts) should not bemonitored using conventional monitoring wells, as representa-tive ground-water samples, free of artifactual turbidity, cannotbe assured using currently available technology. Alternativemon
5、itoring technologies (not described in this practice) shouldbe used in these formations1.2 The recommended monitoring well design and installa-tion procedures presented in this practice are based on theassumption that the objectives of the program are to obtainrepresentative ground-water samples and
6、 other representativeground-water data from a targeted zone of interest in thesubsurface defined by site characterization.1.3 This practice, in combination with proper well develop-ment (D 5521), proper ground-water sampling procedures(D 4448), and proper well maintenance and rehabilitation(D 5978),
7、 will permit acquisition of ground-water samples freeof artifactual turbidity, eliminate siltation of wells betweensampling events, and permit acquisition of accurate ground-water levels and hydraulic conductivity test data from the zonescreened by the well. For wells installed in fine-grainedformat
8、ion materials (up to 50 % passing a #200 sieve), it isgenerally necessary to use low-flow purging and samplingtechniques (D 6771) in combination with proper well design tocollect turbidity-free samples.1.4 This practice applies primarily to well design andinstallation methods used in drilled borehol
9、es. Other Standards,including Guide D 6724 and Practice D 6725, cover installa-tion of monitoring wells using direct-push methods.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.1.6 This standard does not purport to address
10、all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 This practice offers a set of instructions for performing
