    SOIL AND GROUND WATER BASELINE STUDY


    Ref. No. ADPC-IZ-IDO-RPT-00012, Rev. 04

    Testing of Soil and Groundwater for Establishing Baseline Conditions

    Scope of Work

    The scope of work includes, but is not limited to the following minimum requirements: -

    1) Drill two soil borings to maximum depth of 5m


    2) Collect two samples from each borehole at depths of 1m and 2m
    3) Install two standpipe piezometers at 5m for collection of groundwater samples
    4) Collect one water sample from each piezometer
    5) Composite the two soil samples collected from each borehole and perform chemical
    testing
    6) Perform chemical testing on the collected two water samples
    7) Prepare a factual report describing the scope, sampling, testing, methodology and codes
    used for the works and other relevant information.
    8) The sampling frequency and location shall be determined by ADPC on a case-by-case
    basis depend upon the area and specific land use. KIZAD Occupiers are required to
    submit a detailed sampling plan identifying the proposed coordinates of test locations not
    less than the minimum numbers specified below:

    Plot Area (m) Sampling Frequency


    (Minimum)
    100,000 and below 2
    100,001 to 250,000 3
    250,001 to 500,000 4
    500,001 and above 5

    Brief Method Statement


    KIZAD Occupiers are required to submit detailed method statement clearly describing the proposed
    testing methods and procedures, as per the guidelines below:

    Boreholes
    All staff working at site shall undergo a KIZAD safety orientation and wear PPE at site. Approval from
    ADPC and relevant authorities shall be sought prior to start of works.

    Trial holes dug prior to drilling commencing (to check for any existing utilities) shall be slightly to one
    side of the borehole location so the borehole starts from undisturbed existing ground level which is not
    contaminated by soil from the trial hole.

    For boreholes, a truck mounted rotary drilling rig and a trailer mounted Pilcon Wayfarer drilling rig is
    proposed, using a combination of cable percussive boring and rotary coring techniques

    All works shall be carried out in accordance with British Standards BS 10175: Code of practice for
    investigation of potentially contaminated sites, BS 5930:1999 Code of Practice for Site Investigation,
    and BS 1377:1990 Methods of Test for Soils for Engineering Purposes.

    Standpipe (Piezometer) to Collect Groundwater Samples


    Upon completion of the borehole, a 50mm dia. UPVC threaded Slotted pipe shall be installed into the
    each borehole and surrounding areas backfilled with a medium to coarse size gravel filter. After
    completion of fieldwork, groundwater level measurement shall be recorded from the existing ground
    level using a Dip meter. Groundwater sample shall be collected as per BS 10175: Code of practice for

    investigation of potentially contaminated sites and BS 5930:1999 Code of Practice for Site
    Investigation method for chemical testing.

    Setting out
    Set out the borehole and other field test locations, with references to coordinates and at least two
    benchmarks nearby or close to the site. At least one borehole with standpipe (piezometer) shall be
    located outside the footprint of the permanent buildings/structures to allow for future long-term
    monitoring by the Occupier. All test locations shall be at least 15m from the boundary wall inside the
    plot to be away from the minimum setbacks specified in Kizad Development Control Regulations as part
    of Kizad Rules.

    Boreholes
    Truck mounted rotary drilling rig and a trailer mounted Pilcon Wayfarer drilling rig, using a combination
    of cable percussive boring and rotary coring techniques. The boreholes shall be advanced using tricone
    drilling bits in a diameter suitable for the intended purpose, but not greater than 250mm. With this
    method of drilling no flushing medium is used, however once groundwater is encountered water has to
    be introduced to the hollow stem in order to stabilise the base of the hole when the inner rods or plug
    are withdrawn. Potable water shall be used for this purpose. Should rock be encountered the boreholes
    would be advanced using a tricone drill bit with potable water being used as the flushing medium.

    Samples of the soils would be obtained at 1 meter and 2 meter depth using a split spoon sampler. After
    each sample has been taken the sampler shall be carefully cleaned using potable water and detergent.
    After rinsing with de-ionised water, the sampler shall be allowed to air dry before being used again.
    When handling the sampler personnel shall wear disposable rubber gloves at all times.

    No petroleum based products shall be used on either the drill or sampling tools. If required a light
    coating of vegetable oil may be applied to threaded connections.
    Any samples required for chemical analyses shall be placed into appropriately prepared and labeled
    containers, which will then be placed into an ice filled cool-box for transportation to the laboratory.

    Any water samples required during drilling will be obtained using a disposable bailer.

    On completion of each borehole, the drilling rig and all down-hole equipment will be thoroughly cleaned
    using a high pressure, hot water cleaner, prior to moving to the next location.

    All works would be carried out in accordance with British Standards BS 10175: Code of practice for
    investigation of potentially contaminated sites, BS 5930:1999 Code of Practice for Site Investigation,
    and BS 1377:1990 Methods of Test for Soils for Engineering Purposes.

    Monitoring Wells
    Upon completion of a borehole, a monitoring well shall be formed through the hollow stem of the auger.
    Each installation will consist of commercially produced 50mm ID uPVC well screen and casing, with
    threaded connections. Each well consists of 3m of screen, 2m of which will be placed below
    groundwater level. Plain casing shall then be used to about 0.5m above ground level. The annulus
    between the pipe and the wall of the borehole shall be backfilled with suitable filter material. The
    material used for this purpose will be agreed with the Owners Representative prior to mobilisation to
    site.

    At the surface the riser pipe shall be enclosed within a steel protective casing, which will be set into a
    concrete pad. The identification number of each installation shall be marked in the wet concrete.

    Groundwater Sampling
    To ensure that there is no cross contamination between monitoring points, disposable sampling bailers
    shall be used, with a new one being used for each location.

    Before sampling, each well will be purged by removing a volume of water to approximately 5 times the
    theoretical volume of each well. This purging will also be carried out using disposable bailers, with the
    volume removed being measured by emptying the bailer into a bucket. Temperature, pH and EC will be
    monitored during purging and a record kept.

    At the moment of sampling, the temperature will be recorded using calibrated thermometer. The sample
    will be poured into specimen bottles, which will contain stabilising chemicals appropriate to the suite of
    tests for which the sub sample is required.

    The sample bottles then be placed into cool boxes and packed around with ice to prevent evaporation
    of any volatile compounds. The samples shall be delivered to the testing laboratory within 24 hours of
    sampling.

    While purging each well and during sampling personnel shall wear disposable latex or neoprene gloves.

    Sample Handling
    The water and soil samples shall be packed in coolboxes and sent to laboratory. All efforts shall be
    made to transport the samples within 48 hours of sampling.
