Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 567 - Environmental Protection Commission › Title VIII - Solid Waste Management and Disposal › Chapter 114 - Sanitary Landfills: Construction and Demolition Wastes › Rule 567-114.15 - Soil Investigation

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
Soil borings.
a.
Number of borings.
A sufficient number of soil borings shall
				be made to accurately identify the hydrogeologic variations of the site. For
				new sites, the minimum number of borings required is 10 for sites of less than
				10 acres, 20 for sites of 10 to 50 acres, and 20 plus an additional boring for
				every 10 acres above 50 acres for sites larger than 50 acres. Fewer borings may
				be needed for existing sites, depending on previous work done at the site.
				Also, no borings will be required in existing fill areas. The department may
				require additional borings based on the geological complexity of the
				site.
b.
Depth of
				borings.
All borings must extend a minimum of 25 feet deep and at
				least 10 feet deep below the water table. However, borings in proposed fill
				areas shall be terminated 10 feet above the uppermost aquifer or be grouted to
				provide such separation. At least half the borings located outside the existing
				or proposed fill area shall extend 10 feet into the uppermost aquifer, 50 feet
				below the water table, or 10 feet into bedrock. At least one boring shall
				extend 10 feet into bedrock or 100 feet below the lowest ground surface
				elevation.
c.
Boring
				method.
Borings shall comply with the applicable portions of rule
				114.23(455B). The preferred boring method is hollow stem auger, although it may
				be necessary to use other methods at greater depths and in bedrock. When wet
				drilling methods are used for boring in which monitoring wells or piezometers
				are installed, the drilling fluid and methods and development procedures shall
				be approved by and documented with the department.
d.
Assurance that soil boring samples
				have been taken at the site.
The soil boring samples must be kept by
				the permit applicant until the permit is issued and must be made available to
				the department if the department requests them.

Groundwater level measurements.
The elevation of the water
				table shall be determined at or near the location of each soil boring which
				penetrates the water table. The water table may be determined using a completed
				water table monitoring well, or piezometer. The bottom of a piezometer used to
				measure water table elevation shall be no more than 5 feet below the water
				table.
The apparent horizontal groundwater flow direction should be
				  determined based on water table measurements. Vertical groundwater flow shall
				  then be assessed in at least two profiles approximately parallel to the
				  apparent horizontal flow direction. Vertical groundwater flow shall be assessed
				  using at least two well clusters per profile. Each well cluster shall contain a
				  water table monitoring well or piezometer and additional water level monitoring
				  points based on site conditions as follows:
a. If the water table is in the uppermost
				aquifer, one additional water level monitoring point shall be located near the
				base of the aquifer or at least 20 feet below the base of the water table
				monitoring point. This additional monitoring point may not be required if the
				aquifer is less than 20 feet thick.
b. If the uppermost aquifer is less than 50
				feet below the water table, an additional water level monitoring point shall be
				located at the top of the aquifer.
c. If the uppermost aquifer is more than 50
				feet below the water table, additional water level monitoring points shall be
				placed at depths of 30 feet and 50 feet below the water table.
d. If required, the one deeper soil boring
				into bedrock shall be used as a site for one well cluster. Water table
				monitoring points in this cluster shall correspond to the other well cluster
				used for a profile. In addition, water level monitoring points shall be placed
				at the bottom of the boring and, if possible, at the top and bottom of the
				uppermost aquifer. Groundwater level measurements shall be made after the water
				levels have stabilized in the monitoring point, at least 24 hours after
				completion and bailing of the monitoring well, or installation of the
				piezometer. The water level in existing wells shall be observed and recorded
				prior to bailing. Each set of water level measurements shall be made in as
				short a time frame as possible not to exceed 8 hours.

Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 567 - Environmental Protection Commission › Title VIII - Solid Waste Management and Disposal › Chapter 114 - Sanitary Landfills: Construction and Demolition Wastes › Rule 567-114.22 - Monitoring Well Siting Requirements

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
Downgradient monitoring
				wells.
Downgradient monitoring wells must be located to provide a high
				level of certainty that releases of contaminants from the site can be promptly
				detected. Downgradient monitoring wells shall be placed along the site
				perimeter, within 50 feet of the planned liner or waste boundary unless site
				conditions dictate otherwise, downgradient of the facility with respect to the
				hydrologic unit being monitored. For those facilities which are long-term,
				multiphase operations, the department may establish temporary waste boundaries
				in order to define locations for monitoring wells. The convergence of
				groundwater paths to minimize the overall length of the downgradient dimension
				may be taken into consideration in the placement of downgradient monitoring
				wells.
(2)
Water table
				wells.
At least three downgradient water table monitoring wells shall
				be installed at each facility. The maximum spacing between wells shall be 600
				feet.
(3)
Uppermost aquifer
				monitoring wells.
If different from water table monitoring wells, at
				least three uppermost aquifer monitoring wells shall be installed at each
				facility. Uppermost aquifer monitoring wells shall be spaced no more than 600
				feet apart. If the uppermost aquifer is located more than 50 feet below the
				water table, this requirement may be relaxed, although at least one
				downgradient uppermost aquifer monitoring well will be required.
(4)
Other downgradient monitoring
				wells.
Additional downgradient monitoring wells will be required if
				the water table and uppermost aquifer monitoring wells do not intercept most
				vertical flow paths from the site. In such situations, monitoring wells shall
				be placed at the appropriate depths to intercept the remaining flow paths and
				shall be spaced at no more than 600 feet apart.
(5)
Upgradient monitoring
				wells.
Upgradient monitoring wells shall not be affected by the site.
				At least one upgradient monitoring well shall be installed into each stratum
				being monitored by downgradient monitoring wells. If it is not possible to
				actually locate a monitoring well upgradient of the site, the well shall be
				placed as near the site as feasible without being affected by the
				site.
(6)
Monitoring point
				identification system.
The various types of monitoring points shall be
				identified as follows:
a. Monitoring Well
				MW#--------------
b. Surface Water
				Monitoring Point SW# --------------
c. Piezometer PZ# --------------
Each monitoring point must have a unique number, regardless
				  of the type of monitoring point, and that number must never
				  change.

Boreholes, piezometers and observation wells not used for
				  groundwater monitoring must be sealed. The location of the abandoned well or
				  borehole shall be documented in writing with reference to the landfill's
				  coordinate system and method of sealing. The document must be retained at the
				  landfill with a copy sent to the department.
(1)
Sealing boreholes.
The
				borehole shall be filled by extending a tremie tube to the bottom of the hole.
				Bentonite or expanding cement grout shall be applied through the tube to the
				bottom of the hole and the tremie tube shall be raised as the hole is filled
				from the bottom upward. The end of the tremie tube shall be submerged in the
				grout while filling. The borehole shall be filled from the base of the boring
				all the way to the ground surface.
(2)
Sealing abandoned monitoring
				wells.
a. Well is known to be
				constructed properly with impermeable grout that was installed from the bottom
				up using a tremie tube. Any existing protective metal casing shall be removed
				by vertically pulling it off the well. With a tremie tube, the inner well
				casing shall be filled with an impermeable grout slurry from the bottom to
				ground surface. After 24 hours, the grout shall be retopped if it has settled
				below the existing ground surface.
b. Well construction is improper or
				undocumented. An attempt should be made to remove the well casing. If the well
				casing cannot be removed, the well casing shall either be drilled around with a
				hollow stem auger of large inside diameter or shall be drilled out with a
				standard casing bit or solid stem auger with a boring diameter greater than the
				initial diameter of the hole. Drilling shall be to the maximum depth of the
				previously drilled boring. The drilling debris shall be cleaned from the
				interior of the auger or borehole. The borehole shall be sealed with an
				impermeable grout using a tremie tube. If the soil conditions permit the
				sealing to be conducted in a continuous operation, the tremie tube shall be
				submerged in the grout at all times. After 24 hours, the grout shall be
				retopped if it has settled below the ground surface.
c. Monitoring wells in future fill areas. The
				well shall be removed and sealed as described in the procedures for sealing
				boreholes in 114.24(1).
