Landau Associates <br /> is anticipated that the well will be backfilled with bentonite grout or chips in accordance with <br /> WAC 173-360-410(2)(a), but the final method of decommissioning will be selected in consultation <br /> with the driller. The associated vault and wellhead equipment will be reused, if possible, during the <br /> construction of replacement well EGW192R. Any equipment from existing well EGW192 not utilized <br /> during construction of the replacement well will be decontaminated and stored for future reuse or <br /> disposed of, as appropriate. <br /> Replacement Well Location <br /> The Phase 2 area of the GET system currently consists of seven groundwater extraction wells, which <br /> are operated to achieve the Phase 2 IAO described above. The number of wells, well locations, and <br /> screen locations of the extraction wells were originally established using groundwater modeling, as <br /> described in the Phase 2 IA Conceptual Design Report (LAI 2012).The seven wells are located on City <br /> property (Lot 9) north of Seaway Boulevard, generally along a north-south oriented access road that <br /> runs roughly parallel with PMC. <br /> The extraction wells are screened within the upper and lower Esperance Sand aquifer units as <br /> modeled. Existing well EGW192, as previously described, is located where there is minimal saturated <br /> thickness above the silt aquitard.This well was drilled and screened approximately 3 ft into the <br /> aquitard to provide a "sump" that allows for sufficient hydraulic head above the pump intake even <br /> when groundwater is drawn down to near the top of the aquitard. <br /> Replacement extraction well EGW192R will be located to the southwest of existing well EGW192 <br /> (Figure 2) in an area of the hillside on an old logging road where the aquifer has a larger saturated <br /> thickness and is not within the wetland area along PMC.The new location was selected in order to <br /> minimize the potential impacts of biofouling on the operation and maintenance of EGW192R and still <br /> achieve the Phase 2 IAO. <br /> Replacement Well Installation and Design <br /> The boring for EGW192R will be drilled using hollow-stem auger(HSA) or rotosonic methods by a <br /> professional driller licensed in the State of Washington. During drilling, core samples will be collected <br /> and logged across the depth of the soil boring to classify soil lithology in accordance with the Unified <br /> Soil Classification System (USCS). Soil samples will be collected using a 3.25-inch-diameter Dames and <br /> Moore sampling device (or similar). The total depth of the boring will be approximately 32 ft bgs, but <br /> the final depth will be determined in the field to ensure that the bottom of the boring extends to the <br /> top of the silt interbed but does extend into or through it. <br /> Similar to existing Phase 2 extraction wells, replacement well EGW192R will be constructed with <br /> carbon steel casing and stainless-steel screened sections and in accordance with the Water Well <br /> Construction Act of 1971 (Revised Code of Washington [RCW] Chapter 18.104) and the state Minimum <br /> EGW192 Relocation Work Plan <br /> Powder Mill Gulch—Boeing Everett Plant 4 October 1, 2020 <br />
