“…The soil gas survey, using a number of techniques, is viewed as a costeffective approach to preliminary delineation of volatile organic compound (VOC) plumes. Kerfoot (1992) and Rosenbloom et al (1992) describe the cost-effective nature of soil gas sampling for guiding investigation and remediation of petroleum-and solvent-derived contamination in soil and groundwater, respectively. Analysis of soil gas for oxygen and carbon dioxide to delineate a petroleum hydrocarbon plume is another potentially cost-effective approach (Deyo et al, 1993). .…”

Over the past several years, environmental professionals have sought new and innovative field techniques to allow on‐site plume delineation and in‐field location of monitoring wells. One technique adopted for site characterization is the multilevel drive point sampler (MLDPS). This technology allows sampling of soil gas and groundwater and measurement of aquifer permeability. MLDPSs offer a cost‐effective solution to the high cost of plume delineation by providing in‐field data for decisions on monitoring well location and depth. MLDPS technologies can increase the effectiveness of monitoring well installation programs, decrease the cost of site characterization, and accelerate the time between initial site assessment and implementation of a remediation program. MLDPS technologies offer distinct advantages over other field techniques, and a cost comparison is offered. A case study describing application of the MLDPS to the delineation of a TCE‐contaminated plume is described.

Waste disposal sites with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) frequently contain contaminants that are present in both the ground water and vadose zone. Vertical sampling is useful where transport of VOCs in the vadose zone may effect ground water and where steep vertical gradients in chemical concentrations are anticipated. Designs for combination ground water and gas sampling wells place the tubing inside the casing with the sample port penetrating the casing for sampling. This physically interferes with pump or sampler placement. This paper describes a well design that combines a ground water well with gas sampling ports by attaching the gas sampling tubing and ports to the exterior of the casing. Placement of the tubing on the exterior of the casing allows exact definition of gas port depth, reduces physical interference between the various monitoring equipment, and allows simultaneous remediation and monitoring in a single well. The usefulness and versatility of this design was demonstrated at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) with the installation of seven wells with 53 gas ports, in a geologic formation consisting of deep basalt with sedimentary interbeds at depths from 7.2 to 178 m below land surface. The INEEL combination well design is easy to construct, install, and operate.
