REV: 08-14-25 LF <br />Consultant shall grout the borehole to the surface in approximately 6-inch lifts with <br />hydrated bentonite. Consultant shall place enough dry granular bentonite between the <br />sand pack and hydrated bentonite grout to prevent infiltration of the hydrated bentonite <br />into the sand pack. <br />Consultant shall fit a valve to each of the aboveground ends of the tubing, which will be <br />kept closed prior to purging and sampling. Consultant shall install 6-inch diameter, <br />watertight, flush mount, traffic rated well boxes for the soil vapor wells to allow for potential <br />future sampling. Consultant shall install and sample soil vapor wells in accordance with <br />applicable regulatory guidance. <br />Once wells are installed, Consultant shall restore their work area to its original condition, <br />which includes, but is not limited to, removing equipment and traffic control measures, <br />cleaning any debris, restoring asphalt and concrete, or cleaning-up any landscaping. <br />Consultant shall store investigation-derived waste, such as soil cuttings generated during <br />the subsurface investigation, temporarily in a labelled 55-gallon steel drum at a location <br />approved by the site property owners. Consultant shall use analytical results from <br />composited waste soil samples to develop a waste profile and evaluate waste disposal <br />options. Once Consultant has profiled the waste and selected a disposal option, <br />Consultant shall coordinate disposal of the waste at an appropriate off-site facility. <br />Task 3.3 – Soil Vapor Well Sampling <br />Consultant shall collect soil vapor samples after a minimum of 2 or 48 hours, depending <br />on whether the soil vapor well was installed by direct-push or auger method, respectively, <br />to allow for the seal to set and surface conditions to equilibrate. <br />Consultant shall connect the sampling apparatus to a flow regulator with an internal <br />particulate filter, calibrated by the laboratory to 100 to 200 milliliters per minute. <br />Consultant shall use a manifold collection system with an inline flow controller and <br />vacuum gauge. Consultant shall conduct a shut-in test on the sampling train at each <br />location to check for leaks in the aboveground fittings. <br />Consultant shall observe the vacuum gauge on the train for 1 minute to determine whether <br />vacuum pressure is dissipating. Following the shut-in test, Consultant shall conduct a <br />standard 3-volume purge to empty the sampling train of ambient air from the sampling <br />probes by using a dedicated purging Summa vacuum canister or vacuum pump. <br />Consultant shall collect soil vapor samples using a helium shroud with analysis of helium <br />gas as a leak check. Consultant shall collect soil vapor samples in 1-liter Summa <br />canisters that will be maintained at ambient temperature and kept out of direct sunlight <br />during handling and transport to the analytical laboratory. Consultant shall submit <br />samples to a California certified analytical laboratory under standard chain-of-custody <br />protocols. <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.210/Farallon Consulting, LLC (Soil vapor investigation & groundwater sampling) (Page 13 of 19)
