Landau Associates <br /> • The shallow nature of the well (the water table is only 5—6 ft below ground surface [bgs]) and <br /> the saturated zone at this location is also relatively thin as noted above; <br /> • The proximity of the well to overlying wetlands that are rich with organic materials and likely <br /> high in microbial activity, which may be getting pulled into the EGW192 well screen; and <br /> • The location of the well screen, which is set in alluvial creek deposits of Powder Mill Creek and <br /> likely in greater communication with infiltrating precipitation and other surface water in the <br /> area (that, again, are likely to be higher in organic materials and biological activity). <br /> Based on the increasing frequency/severity of fouling and the likely conditions leading to the fouling <br /> described above, at Boeing's request, Ecology agreed to allow Boeing to relocate EGW192 to a <br /> location with less potential to suffer from biofouling (Ecology 2020). Specifically, Ecology <br /> (conceptually) approved Boeing's request to replace EGW192 with another extraction well located <br /> farther west or southwest from the current location of EGW192 where the aquifer thickness would be <br /> greater, it would be farther removed from the wetland, and it may be installed in the Esperance Sand <br /> formation rather than the creek alluvium.This relocation of the well should allow for higher pumping <br /> rates, greater drawdown/groundwater capture, and reduced potential for well fouling. <br /> Extraction Well Replacement <br /> The following sections describe activities pertaining to replacement of EGW192 with a new extraction <br /> well (to be designated as "EGW19211"), which consists of the following activities: <br /> • Decommissioning of extraction well EGW192 (and removal of associated vault and wellhead <br /> equipment); <br /> • Installation of extraction well EGW192R (and associated vault and wellhead equipment) <br /> southwest of the current location of EGW192; <br /> • Installation of additional/replacement piping for conveyance of extracted groundwater from <br /> EGW192R to the treatment system; and <br /> • Installation of additional/replacement conduit and cable for electrical lines and <br /> communications line for operation and control of the extraction well. <br /> This work plan provides details of the extraction well relocation, design, construction, and startup. <br /> Design drawings for EGW192R and associated equipment and infrastructure are included as <br /> Attachment 1 to this report. Design details of the original GET system are provided in the Phase 1 IA <br /> work plan (LAI 2011) and Phase 2 IA work plan (LAI 2013), including process flow diagrams, design <br /> calculations, and detailed plans and specifications. <br /> Existing Well Decommissioning <br /> Existing well EGW192 will be decommissioned by a professional driller licensed in the State of <br /> Washington. Decommissioning will be performed in accordance with the state Minimum Standards for <br /> Construction and Maintenance of Wells (Washington Administrative Code [WAC] Chapter 173-160).
