Series Description: This guide outlines the requirements for sampling groundwater at WAG-5. Lists of test parameters, a sampling schedule, and groundwater conditions are included, as are sampling procedures, location, and frequency; and methods used for sample preparation, purging wells, quality control, decontamination, and documenting data. Materials to be used by the sampling team are listed. Environmental and health hazards are briefly summarized, which state that wastewater generated by the sampling will consist of unknown chemical and radioactive constituents, as are past analyses, which give well location, type, depth, and construction data. Cesium measurements are recorded in picocuries per liter (pCi/l) for amounts found at wells 0436, 0517, 0519, 0523, and 1188.
