Scope

5. Significance and UseTop Bottom

5.1 The MIP system provides a timely and cost effective way (4) for delineation of volatile organic contaminants (for example, benzene, toluene, solvents, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene) with depth (5, 6). Recent investigation (2) has found the MIP can be effective in locating zones where dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPL) may be present. MIP provides real-time measurement for optimizing selection of sample locations when using a dynamic work plan. By identifying the depth at which a contaminant is located, a more representative sample of soil or water can be collected.

5.2 Correlation of a series of MIP logs across a site can provide 2-D and 3-D definition of the contaminant plume. When lithologic logs are obtained (EC, CPT, etc.) with the MIP data, contaminant migration pathways may be defined.

5.3 The MIP logs provide a detailed record of contaminant distribution in the saturated and unsaturated formations. A proportion of the chlorinated and non-chlorinated volatile organic contaminants in the sorbed, aqueous, or gaseous phases partition through the membrane for detection up hole.

5.4 The data obtained from application of this practice may be used to guide soil (Guide D6282) and groundwater sampling (Guide D6001) or placement of long-term monitoring wells (Guide D6724).

5.5 MIP data can be used to optimize site remediation by knowing the depth distribution of volatile organic contaminants. For example, materials injected for remediation are placed at correct depths in the formation.

5.6 This practice also may be used as a means of evaluating remediation performance. MIP can provide a cost-effective way to monitor the progress of remediation. When properly performed at suitable sites, logging locations can be compared from the initial investigation to the monitoring of the contaminant under remediation conditions.

Note 1???The quality of the result produced by this standard is dependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and the suitability of the equipment and facilities used. Practitioners that meet the criteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard are cautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself assure reliable results.
