Q

Conditions for ground water sampling

A
  1. lowest point of ust is in ground water
  2. field screening indicates release and lowest point is within 2 ft of season high water table
  3. existing wells can be collected fro
  4. observation wells indicate presence of substances
  5. physical conditions prevent soil sampling
  6. site check results indicate groundwater testing is needed
