Current through June 24, 2024
The department may require an owner or operator of a solid
				  waste disposal facility to install, sample and document environmental
				  monitoring devices in accordance with this chapter. All monitoring devices
				  shall be designed, installed, maintained and operated in accordance with the
				  requirements of ss.
				  NR 507.05
				  to
				  507.26, unless an alternate method is
				  approved in writing by the department. All monitoring devices shall be
				  constructed to minimize the potential for contaminants to enter the groundwater
				  or to move from one major soil unit or rock formation to another. All
				  monitoring devices shall be designed, located, installed and maintained so as
				  to obtain reliable and representative information.
(1) LOCATION. The owner or operator shall
				submit, in writing, to the department for approval, the locations of all
				monitoring devices prior to installation, except for wells installed prior to a
				feasibility decision. The location and construction of any monitoring device
				installed prior to the feasibility decision may be submitted to the department
				for review and concurrence prior to installation.
(2) FIELD DIRECTION. A professional geologist
				or qualified technician who is directly supervised by a professional geologist
				shall observe and direct the drilling of all borings and the installation,
				development and abandonment of all wells. A professional geologist or qualified
				technician who is directly supervised by a professional geologist shall also
				conduct all in-field hydraulic conductivity tests and visually describe and
				classify all of the geologic samples.
(3) PROTECTION. All monitoring and sampling
				devices shall be sealed and locked to prevent contaminants from entering the
				monitoring device. All monitoring wells and gas probes shall have protective
				metal casings. All other monitoring devices shall be protected as necessary.
				The department may require additional protective devices such as a ring of
				brightly colored posts around any monitoring device. All leachate head wells
				shall be protected to prevent damage during facility operation.
(4) LABELING. All monitoring devices shall be
				clearly and permanently labeled on the outside of the monitoring device. At a
				minimum, the label shall include the device name and 3-digit identification
				number assigned to each well by the department.
(5) ABANDONMENT. For monitoring devices to be
				abandoned for any reason, an owner or operator shall contact the department. If
				monitoring devices are being replaced, they shall be properly abandoned in
				accordance with ss.
				NR
				141.25 and
				507.13.
(6) DOCUMENTATION. All activities required
				under ss.
				NR 507.05
				to shall be 507.13 documented in accordance with ss.
				NR
				141.23 and
				507.14.
Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Natural Resources › NR 500-599 - Environmental Protection - Solid Waste Management › Chapter NR 507 - Environmental Monitoring For Landfills › Section NR 507.05 - Soil and rock sampling

Current through June 24, 2024
All soil and rock samples collected from borings shall be
				  collected and tested in accordance with this section unless otherwise approved
				  in writing by the department.
(1) SOIL
				SAMPLE COLLECTION. Soil samples shall be collected in accordance with all of
				the following:
(a) Where conditions permit,
				soil samples shall be collected using undisturbed soil sampling techniques.
				Samples may not be composited for testing purposes.
(b) In fine-grained soil environments,
				continuous samples shall be collected from the land surface to at least 25 feet
				below the anticipated, proposed or existing sub-base grade for the purpose of
				field classification. If a boring extends beyond 25 feet below the anticipated,
				proposed or existing sub-base grade, samples shall be collected from each major
				soil unit encountered and at maximum 5-foot intervals. If the boring is located
				outside the anticipated, proposed or existing limits of filling, the applicable
				sub-base grade is the elevation of the bottom of the anticipated, proposed or
				existing liner system nearest to the borehole.
(c) In coarse-grained soil environments,
				samples shall be collected from each major soil unit encountered and at maximum
				5-foot intervals.
(d) At least one
				soil sample shall be collected at the depth of the well screen of any
				subsequently placed monitoring well. The soil sample collected at the depth of
				the well screen shall be analyzed for grain size distribution using mechanical
				and hydrometer methods and Atterberg limits, as appropriate for the particular
				soil type.
(e) All soil samples
				shall be retained until the department approves the report that included
				documentation of the soil sampling.

Current through June 24, 2024
All groundwater sampling devices shall be designed, located,
				  installed and maintained so as to obtain reliable and representative
				  information regarding aquifer characteristics, groundwater flow directions and
				  chemical and physical characteristics of groundwater. All groundwater
				  monitoring wells shall be designed and installed in accordance with ch. NR 141
				  and the requirements of this section unless an alternate method is approved in
				  writing by the department.
(1)
				DRILLING METHOD. Drilling fluids may not be used for installing monitoring
				wells unless no reasonable alternative exists. If drilling fluids are used, the
				driller shall document the type of fluids used and the chemical constituents of
				the mixture. If water is used, the source of the water shall be identified and
				the water shall be analyzed for all detection groundwater monitoring parameters
				listed in ch. NR 507 Appendix I, Table 1, under municipal solid waste. The
				drilling method shall meet all of the following:
(a) Bedrock drilling shall be performed in
				accordance with s.
				NR 507.05
				and ch. NR 141.
(b) Standard
				penetration tests shall be performed while drilling in soil. Soil drilling
				methods in fine grained soil environments shall allow the driller to obtain
				undisturbed soil samples. If a drilling method does not allow for standard
				penetration tests, then the shear strength of the recovered fine-grained soil
				samples shall be estimated and recorded in the field with a pocket penetrometer
				or vane shear.
(c) If the drilling
				method does not allow the required soil or rock sampling to be performed, a
				separate boring shall be drilled adjacent to the monitoring well to provide the
				necessary information.
