The work is being completed for an enviromnental investigation of the Gunderson Cleaners facility on High Avenue (Figure 1). All six planned well and boring locations are shown on Figure 3, and details regarding the wells on the City of Oshkosh Right of Way are shown on maps provided by the City of Oshkosh (Figures 2 and 4). Each monitoring well (MW-I02 through MW-1O5, TW-12) will be installed using a truck-mounted drill rig with hollow stem augers. An 8-inch diameter borehole will be advanced to approximately 15 to 35 feet below grade, and a 2-inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC monitoring well will be installed at the borehole base. Filter pack sand and a bentonite clay seal will be used to isolate the screened interval of the well, per WAC NRl41 well construction code. The surface will be completed using a 10-inch diameter flush mounted traffic-weight protective well cover, which will be cemented in place. The well cover will be bolted shut, and a locked, watertight well cap will cover the 2-inch PVC inside the steel covet. The borehole (GP-13) will be installed using a continuous flight auger and split spoon sampling techniques, or smaller diameter hollow stem augers, to a depth of approximately 20 feet. This boring will be backfilled upon completion using bentonite clay. The surface will be restored with asphalt patch to grade. Two of the monitoring wells (MW -102 and MW -103) will be located in the asphalt parking lot just east of the Thompson Studio building located at 114 High Street (Figure 2, Figure 3). Well MW- 103 will not be completed in the concrete of the sidewalk; it will be immediately north of the sidewalk in the asphalt (Figure 2). Two other monitoring wells (MW-I04 and MW-1O5) will be located in the lO-foot wide grass vegetation strip immediately south ofthe concrete sidewalk south of High Street, just north of the 115 High Avenue property (Figure 2). Monitoring well TW-12 and GP-13 will be installed in the alley north of the Gunderson Cleaners building, approximately 10 feet north of the sanitary and storm sewer lines and even with the Gunderson Cleaners dock door and eastern edge of the building, respectively (Figure 4). Precise final locations will be dependent on utility locations, which will be marked by Diggers Homne prior to completion of the work. Groundwater samples will be collected from the wells until closure of the site is obtained from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The duration of the sampling will depend on the results of the testing, but will likely be necessary for a period oftwo years or longer. The WDNR contact for this project is Ms Kathy Sylvester at the WDNR Oshkosh office. She can be reached at 424-0399. Upon completion of the groundwater sampling, the wells will be abandoned per NR 141 code by filling thePVC with bentonite clay and restoration of the ground surface with topsoil or asphalt, depending upon the location of the well. f:'.J'oo\gw>_.,.m="""2004-01\repo""p"""',,tdoo
