Subject: Proposed Modification to 2010 GW Mon Program-Gasco

Importance: Normal

Attachments: 2010 Gasco GW Monitoring Plan_Rev 1_07_26_2010.pdf;

 

Hi Dana,

 

As we discussed last week, and at your request, I have reviewed the

2010 Groundwater Monitoring Schedule for Gasco, including NW Natural

monitoring activities on the Siltronic property, and have made

recommendations for several modifications to be implemented in time

for the 3Q event, anticipated to occur in September. As you

requested, the review focused on Siltronic wells on the northern

portion of that property from which data relative to potential MGP

constituents are not being gathered, and where having these data may

be useful for plume delineation or for monitoring concentration

fluctuations over time.

 

Based on this review, NW Natural recommends incorporating 3 Siltronic

wells into the program that are not presently being monitored. These are wells

WS-16-161; WS-17-52; and WS-17-94. These wells are positioned such

that they may provide

additional delineation / concentration trend monitoring beneath the

more upland portion of the Siltronic site.

 

In addition to the preceding, other modifications I propose at this

time are the removal of

Gasco DNAPL wells MW-10-25, MW-11-32, MW-16-45, and MW-18-30 from

the program since we have a significant baseline data set at these locations

and since DNAPL-bearing wells don't show trends and the data can be

somewhat erratic depending on the inclusion of DNAPL blebs into the

sample.

 

Finally, for completeness, I have added newly installed Gasco wells

MW-7-61 (replacement for abandoned well MW-13-61R) and MW-18-125

(replacement for abandoned well MW-16-125) to the program - since

these wells were installed subsequent to the original submittal of

the proposed program.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments concerning

the proposed modifications.

 

Regards,

 

-Rob
