Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions of common technical terms in thisstandard, refer to Term

19、inology D652 and Guide D5521.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 well developmentactions taken during the installa-tion and start-up of a well for the purpose of mitigating orcorrecting damage done to the adjacent geologic formationsand filter materials that might affect the wel

20、ls ability toproduce representative samples.3.2.2 well maintenanceany action that is taken for thepurpose of maintaining well performance (see Discussion) andextending the life of the well to provide samples that arerepresentative of the groundwater surrounding it. Maintenanceincludes both physical

21、actions taken at the well and thedocumentation of those actions and all operating data in orderto provide benchmarks for comparisons at later times.3.2.2.1 DiscussionDesired level of well performance canvary depending on the design objectives.3.2.3 well preventive maintenanceany well maintenanceacti

25、is initiated for the purpose ofcorrecting well performance that has moved outside of prees-tablished ranges.4. Significance and Use4.1 The process of operating any engineered system, such asmonitoring wells, includes active maintenance to prevent,mitigate, or reverse deterioration. Lack of or improp

26、er main-tenance can lead to well performance deficiencies (physicalproblems) or sample quality degradation (chemical problems).These problems are intrinsic to monitoring wells, which areoften left idle for long periods of time (as long as a year),installed in non-aquifer materials, and installed to

27、evaluatecontamination that can cause locally anomalous hydrogeo-chemical conditions. The typical solutions for these physicaland chemical problems that would be applied by owners andoperators of water supply, dewatering, recharge, and otherwells may not be appropriate for monitoring wells because of

28、the need to minimize their impact on the conditions thatmonitoring wells were installed to evaluate.4.2 This guide covers actions and procedures, but is not anencyclopedic guide to well maintenance. Well maintenanceplanning and execution is highly site and well specific.4.3 The design of maintenance

29、 and rehabilitation programsand the identification of the need for rehabilitation should bebased on objective observation and testing, and by individualsknowledgeable and experienced in well maintenance andrehabilitation. Users of this guide are encouraged to consult thereferences provided.4.4 For a

30、dditional information see Test Methods D1889,D4412, D5472, and Guides D4448, D5409, D5410 and D5474.5. Well Performance Deficiencies5.1 Proper well design, installation, and development canminimize well performance deficiencies that result in the needfor maintenance and rehabilitation. Practice D509

31、2 and GuideD5521 should be consulted. Performance deficiencies include:sand, silt, and clay infiltration; low yield; slow responses tochanges in groundwater elevations; and loss of production.5.2 Preventable Causes of Poor Well Performance:5.2.1 Inappropriate well location or screened interval. Thes

32、emay be unavoidable if a requirement for site characterization ormonitoring exists,5.2.2 Inappropriate drilling technique or methodology formaterials screened,5.2.3 Inadequate intake structure design (screen, filtermaterial, and so forth),5.2.4 Inappropriate well construction materials. This maylead

33、 to corrosion or collapse,5.2.5 Improper construction, operation, or maintenance, orcombination thereof, of borehole or well, wellhead protection,well cap, and locking device,5.2.6 Ineffective development,D5978 96 (2011)125.2.7 Inappropriate pump selection, and5.2.8 Introduction of foreign substance

34、s.5.3 Physical Indicators of Well Performance DeficienciesInclude:5.3.1 Sand, Silt, and Clay InfiltrationCauses include in-appropriate and inadequate well drilling (for example, augerflight smearing), improper screen and filter pack, impropercasing design or installation, incomplete development, scr

35、eencorrosion, or collapse of filterpack. In rock wells, causesinclude the presence of fine material in fractures. The presenceof sand, silt, or clay can result in pump and equipment wearand plugging, turbid samples, filterpack plugging, or combina-tion thereof.5.3.2 Low YieldCauses include dewaterin

36、g, collapse orconsolidation of fracture or water-bearing zone, pump mal-function or plugging, screen encrustation or plugging, andpump tubing corrosion or perforation.5.3.3 Water Level DeclineCauses include area or regionalwater level decline, well interference, and chemical or micro-bial plugging o

37、r encrustation of the borehole, screen, orfilterpack.5.3.4 Loss of ProductionUsually caused by pump failure,but can also be caused by dewatering, plugging, or wellcollapse.5.3.4.1 Well CollapseCan be caused by tectonism, groundsubsidence, failure of unsupported casing (that is, in caves orbecause of

38、 faulty grout), corrosion and subsequent failure ofscreen and casing, improper casing design, local siteoperations, freeze-thaw, or improper chemical or mechanicalrehabilitation.5.3.5 Observation of physical damage or other indicator.6. Sample Quality Degradation6.1 All of the preceding physical wel

39、l performance deficien-cies can result in sample quality degradation by dilution,cross-contamination, or entrainment of solid material in watersamples. In addition, chemical and biological activity can bothdegrade well performance and sample quality. Any change inwell or aquifer chemistry that resul

40、ts from the presence of thewell can interfere with accurate characterization of a site.6.2 Physical IndicatorsChemical and biological activitythat can lead to sample quality degradation include:6.2.1 Chemical EncrustationPrecipitation of calcium ormagnesium carbonate or sulfate, iron, or sulfide com

41、poundscan reduce well yield and specific capacity.6.2.2 Biofouling (Biological Fouling)Microbial activitycan result in slime production and the precipitation of iron,manganese, or sulfur compounds and occasionally other ma-terials such as aluminum oxides. Biofouling may be accompa-nied by corrosion

42、or encrustation, or both, and can result inreduced specific capacity and well yield. Biochemical depositscan interfere with sample quality by acting as chemical sieves.6.2.3 CorrosionCorrosion of metal well and pump com-ponents (that is, stainless steel, galvanized steel, carbon steel,and low carbon

43、 steel) can result from naturally aggressivewaters (containing H2S, NaCl) or electrolysis. The presence ofcontaminants contributes to corrosion through contributions tomicrobial corrosion processes and formation of redox gradi-ents. Nonaqueous phase solvents may degrade PVC and otherplastics. Other

44、environmental conditions such as heat orradiation may contribute to material deterioration (such asenhanced embrittlement). Metals such as nickel or chromiummay be leached from corroding metals. Degradation of plasticwell components may result in a release of monomers (such asvinyl chloride) to the

45、environment (see Note 1).NOTE 1Naturally aggressive (for metals) waters have been defined aslow pH (2 mg/L), high H2S (1 mg/L), high dissolvedsolids (1000 mg/L), high CO2(50 mg/L), and high Clcontent (500mg/L). However, local conditions may result in corrosion at less extremevalues. Expression of co

46、rrosion is also dependent on materials load.6.2.4 Change in TurbidityCauses include biofouling andintake structure, screen or filter pack clogging or collapse.Increase in turbidity may not always be the result of a problemwith the well. Changes in the purging and sampling proceduresand devices used

47、can affect the turbidity of water from amonitoring well. For example, using a bailer where a pumpwas previously utilized, or pumping at a higher rate thanpreviously used could increase turbidity; likewise, pumping awell that was previously bailed could increase turbidity.6.2.5 Change in Sand/Silt Co

48、ntent or Particle CountsCauses include biofouling (resulting in clogging or sloughing)and intake structure clogging or collapse. Increase in thesand/silt content may not always be the result of a problemwith the well. Changes in the purging and sampling proceduresand devices used can affect the sand

49、/silt content of water froma monitoring well. For example, using a bailer where a pumpwas previously utilized, or pumping at a higher rate thanpreviously used could increase the sand/silt content; likewise,pumping a well that was previously bailed could increase thesand/silt content.6.3 Chemical Indicators (Observed in GroundwaterSamples)Chemical and biological activity that can lead tosample quality degradation include (see Note 2):NOTE 2Changes in chemical indicators can also be a result ofsite-wide changes in hydro-geochemistry.6.3.1 Iron (Changes
