Monitoring-well FAQ

Questions to answer in the work plan

Who determines the well design and screened interval?

Regulatory agencies define the applicable installation guidelines, and the responsible environmental or geotechnical consultant designs the well location, screened interval and construction details as needed. Ambient performs the contracted field scope based on that direction.

Can an existing monitoring well be relocated?

A well itself is not physically moved. A replacement well is installed at the approved new location, and the original well is abandoned according to the project’s applicable requirements and direction.

When should a monitoring well be abandoned?

Common reasons include damage, redevelopment, loss of access, replacement, removal from the monitoring network, or closure of the site or monitoring program. The responsible project professional and applicable authority determine when abandonment is appropriate.

What permitting and regulatory information should the well scope identify?

The scope should identify the responsible consultant, permit holder, applicable authority, approved construction or abandonment method and required records. Ambient Technologies performs the contracted field work and documentation defined for the project.
