The groundwater monitoring wells will be constructed in accordance with Addendum n,
Groundwater Monitoring Well Installation Guideiines, and the American Society of
Testing Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice D-5092, Standai'd Practice for Design and
Inslallaiion of Groundwater Monitoring Wells in Aquifers.
A 6-inch diameter PVC monitoring well win be installed at each successfully completed
boring. However, unforeseen subsurface conditions may necessitate the installation of 4*
inch diameter monitoring wells. Each well will be furnished with 13 feet of 0.01-slotted
screen, with 10 feet below the water table and five feet above the water table. Clean filter
sand will be placed around and above the screened interval. A bentonite seal will be
placed above the sand pack interval, and the borehole annulus will grouted to grade with
a bentonite/cement slurry, Each well will be fumiKhed. with a flush-mount bolt-down
road box and a locking well cap. Each well will be developed by pumping and surging
following installation. Con Edison expects that the wells will be developed using a
vacuum truck to be provided by the EPA. Con Edison requests that NYDEC coordinate
the EPA involvement for the monitoring well development.
Groundwater samples will be collected from each monitoring wcU where free product is
observed, Soil samples will not be submitted for analysis if free product is identified in
the groundwater. If no free product is observed in the groundwater, only soil samples
will be collected and they will bo collected from above the water table or at the depth
with most visual contamination. The table below illustrates each scenario with the
necessary protocol for sampling.

Samples will be submitted to Con Edison’s Chem-Lab for both fingerprint analysis (Oil
ID) and PCB content. Con Edison expects that wells and/or manholes observed to
contain free product will be pumped out by the EPA at an appropriate frequency to
facilitate product recovery and that dates, quantitias, and location of product recovered be
documented and information provided to Con Edison. Con Edison requests that NYDEC
coordinate the EPA Involvement with the pumping of free product.
INVESTIGATION DERIVED WASTES
Investigation derived wastes such as soil cuttings, decontanunation water, disposable
poreonal protective equipment (PPE), etc, will be placed into a 55-gallon drum provided
