| Institution: | Gregg W. Bryden received a BA. in biology from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1984. Since then he has worked at Kennedy/Jenks Engineers in the Laboratory Division, where field chemistry and sampling programs are his primary responsibilities.;William R. Mabey is senior environmental chemist with Kennedy/Jenks Engineers. Mabey has more than 12 years experience in research, development of methods and evaluation of the fate of chemicals in the aquatic systems. At Kennedy/Jenks Engineers, Mabey is responsible/or evaluating chemical speciation, reactivity and mobility of chemicals in soils and ground waters as part of site assessments and remedial actions. Mabey has a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of Oregon.;Keith M. Robine received a B.S. inchemistry from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1981 and an M.S. in civil engineering from Stanford University in 1984. Robine, who specialized in environmental engineering at Stanford, has been project engineer for a number of ground water monitoring programs at Kennedy/Jenks Engineers. He recently left Kennedy/Jenks Engineers to take up a teaching position. |

| Abstract: | In this paper, we relate recent developments in ground water sampling techniques to the practical application of sampling for toxic contaminants in ground water. We address the choices that must be made in choosing equipment for a particular project by going through a step-by-step procedure for collecting a ground water sample from a typical monitoring well. Ground water sampling topics that are discussed include: choice of equipment for purging and sampling a well, monitoring for purged ground water indicators and quality assurance/quality control. |
