Final report: monitoring well installation and sampling, 2004, Morrill, Kansas
This report documents the activities associated with the installation in 2004 of three groundwater monitoring wells at Morrill, Kansas, and the subsequent sampling of these wells and the six existing Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) monitoring wells. Also sampled were known private wells located within and downgradient of an area of groundwater contaminated with carbon tetrachloride. These activities were conducted as part of an ongoing environmental investigation at Morrill that is being performed by the Environmental Research Division of Argonne National Laboratory. Argonne is a nonprofit, multidisciplinary research center operated by the University of Chicago for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), has entered into an interagency agreement with DOE, under which Argonne provides technical assistance to the CCC/USDA with environmental site characterization and remediation at its former grain storage facilities. The need for three additional monitoring wells at Morrill to supplement the existing sixwell network initially installed by the KDHE (GeoCore 1996) was documented in a letter report (Argonne 2003a), based on the data collected in October 2003, during the Phase I-Phase II expedited site characterization (Argonne 2004a). In December 2003, following approval of the proposed locations by the KDHE, a work plan for the installation and sampling of the monitoring wells was prepared and submitted to the KDHE (Argonne 2004b). This work plan, together with subsequent modifications (Argonne 2004c), was approved by the KDHE on April 8, 2004. Field work associated with the installation of the three monitoring wells was conducted in May 2004. Sampling of the existing monitoring wells and the known private wells within and downgradient of an area of groundwater contaminated with carbon tetrachloride occurred in June 2004. For one private well, permission to sample was denied. One private well at the co-op was sampled in February 2004, and one private well identified after June 2004 was sampled in August 2004.
