Underground Test Area Activity Sampling Technologies Evaluation Report, Nevada National Security Site, Nye County, Nevada, Revision 0
- Navarro, Las Vegas, NV (United States)
This report presents the results of the next stage of sampling technology evaluations as described in Underground Test Area Activity Sampling Technologies Methods Plan (N-I, 2014b). Testing of the BESST Blatypus system was originally planned; however, communications with the vendor indicated it is premature for the UGTA Activity to field test this technology. The system currently uses latex tubing and nitrogen gas to push the water to the surface. The large amount of nitrogen gas needed due to the depths of the UGTA wells makes this unfeasible. Also, the latex tubing will likely not hold up in steel tubing. Instead, three technologies were evaluated: depth-discrete bailer, jack pump, and submersible pump. Each of these is a proven technology for certain conditions. The evaluation includes logistical and operational data collected during the purging of the well or completion interval and groundwater sampling at three wells.
