Subject: Access permission for monitoring well installation within city right of way.
To Whom It May Concern,
METCO is conducting an environmental investigation concerning a petroleum release at the Strelow
Property located at 1800 Harrison Street. Per requirements by the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources, two monitoring wells are to be installed within city right of way to define the extent of
petroleum contamination in groundwater. The proposed monitoring well locations are to be in the
boulevard on the south side of East Murdock Avenue, approximately 20 feet east of Harrison Street
(see map). Therefore, we are requesting permission from the City of Oshkosh to conduct this work
The monitoring wells will be constructed by advancing a 8 -inch diameter soil boring to the required
depth (15 and 26 feet) and installing a two inch diameter monitoring well with a slotted screen.
Uniform washed sand is installed around the well screen to serve as a filter pack. Bentonite is used
above the filter_pack to provide an annular space. seal. A locking watertight cap along with a steel
flush - mounted cover will be installed with the monitoring wells for protection. Soil cuttings generated
during the drilling process will be containerized in 55- gallon DOT drums and will be temporarily
stored on the Strelow property until they can be properly disposed (approximately one month). The
monitoring well installation project is expected to be completed in one day.
After the monitoring well installation is completed, access to the wells will be necessary on occasion.
Events where access to the wells will be required in the next year include development of the well and
quarterly groundwater sampling. These events only require approximately fifteen minutes of work at
the monitoring well.
It is our experience that the WDNR usually requires that monitoring wells remain in place (for
sampling purposes) for a duration of approximately 2 years, and possibly longer, depending on actual
site conditions/WDNR requirements.. Once the groundwater monitoring is complete, the monitoring
well will be properly abandoned with bentonite clay.
This project has not been scheduled, but is expected to be conducted in,late April or early May 2009.
Diggers Hotline and local water /sewer utilities will be notified. A City of Oshkosh General
