GROUTING

A. General Requirements

1. The annular space between the well casing and boreholes shall be tightly sealed to prevent the entrance of surface water and the vertical migration of contaminants along the well casing and borehole.

2. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for determining the volume of grout required. The volume of dry cement or cement/bentonite grout available on site

SITE WORK

WELL CONSTRUCTION

shall be at least 25% greater than the calculated volume of dry grout required to fill the annulus. In no case should the grout volume mixed be less than the calculated volume.

3. The CONTRACTOR shall maintain records of the grouting method and the volume of grout material used.

4. Neat cement grout shall be consistent in texture, free of lumps and shall be pumped into the annulus before initial set.

5. When the SERVICE representative authorizes the CONTRACTOR to grout the well in his absence, the CONTRACTOR shall provide the SERVICE with a copy of a billing invoice for the grout material purchased. Such invoices shall be submitted to the SERVICE with the final bill.

B. Grouting Methods Grout material shall be placed into the annular space between the well casing and borehole using one of the following methods: of approved by the SERVICE prior to use:

1. Tremie Pipe Outside Casing - A tremie pipe, minimum size ¾ inch 1.0. shall be placed to the bottom of the zone to be grouted. Grout material shall be pumped down a gout pipe (tremie) and placed in the annulus, from bottom to top, in one continuous operation. The end of the tremie pipe must be submerged in the emplaced grout at all times until grouting is complete. The tremie pipe shall remain full of grout at all times until grouting is complete. The tremie pipe shall remain full of grout at all times until grouting in complete. In the event of interruption in the grouting operations, the bottom of the pipe should be raised above the grout level and not be resubmerged until all air and water have been displaced from the tremie pipe.

2. Displacement Plug Method - The well casing shall be raised off the bottom of the drillhole high enough to allow flow of cement up the annulus. The required volume of grout shall be placed into the well casing. A drillable displacement plug is placed on the top of the grout column. Pressure is then applied to the displacement plug to push it to the bottom of the well, forcing the grout up the annular space. Pressure on the displacement plug shall be maintained a minimum of 24 hours or until such time as a sample of the grout indicates a satisfactory set. If the grout material does not appear at the surface upon completion of grouting by the displacement method, grouting of the remaining annular space shall be accomplished by the tremie pipe placement method.

3.03 ROTARY DRILLING

General Requirements -The following specification shall apply to all wells constructed using the mud rotary drilling method:

A. A sand separator or desander shall be used with the drilling fluid system to improve filter cake properties and formation samples, and reduce the potential for circulating

contaminants in the borehole. The desander shall be operated either continuously while drilling or each time an additional drill rod is being added to the drill stem.

B. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for controlling critical drilling fluid properties such as density and viscosity to avoid excessive downhole pressure, recirculation of cuttings, and damage to the water bearing formation. Measurements of drilling fluid properties may be required at the discretion of the SERVICE representative to determine if properties are within recognized industry standards.

C. After drilling through the contaminated formation, the drilling fluid may contain contaminants and require disposal as deemed necessary by the SERVICE representative. A fresh batch of drilling fluid shall then be prepared and used to drill the remainder of the well.

3.04 CABLE TOOL WELL CONSTRUCTION

General Requirements - The following specifications shall apply to all wells constructed using the cable tool method:

A. A temporary outer casing shall be used with the cable tool method in order to prevent caving of the overburden material and maintain an open annular space around the casing for grout. The temporary outer casing shall extend from the surface to a minimum of three (3) feet into a confining formation. If no confining formation exists, the temporary casing shall extend the length of the permanent casing. The temporary casing shall be pulled back and removed as grouting proceeds in order to expose the grout to the borehole wall.

B. Dry granular bentonite shall be maintained around the temporary well casing while being driven. A funnel-shaped excavation approximately two times the casing diameter in depth and four times the…
