30. Purge Time, minutes C O N C E N T R A T I O N 1 WBV = 45 minutes Methane Increases with Purge Time. How Many Private Well Owners Normally Let Water Run for 45 minutes

32. 1 ft 250 ft 1 ft 250 ft 50 ft 75 ft Specific Capacity = Gpm/ft of drawdown gpm = 5 gpm Static Water Level – 50 feet Dynamic Level – 200 feet Sc = (5 gpm/ (150 ft))= Sc = 0.03 gpm/ft drawdown Estimating Specific Capacity Less head pressure more methane will be released. Methane

41. Same Baseline Parameters? Quarry Saline Seeps Mixed Hazards Really – We are Going to Use List of Parameters for Every Well in PA?

42. Citizen Database at Wilkes University- Guidelines for Submission II. Guidelines for Data Submission 1. Third Party Samplers following chain-of-custody to certified laboratory. 2. Submit detailed reports from certified laboratory with a GPS position for the well. 3. The water sample must be collected ahead of any water treatment system. 4. other conditions – Learn More at the Our Website. 5.
