Scope

1.1 Justification—This guide considers the characterization of karst and fractured-rock aquifers as an integral component of monitoring-system design. Hence, the development of a conceptual hydrogeologic model that identifies and defines the various components of the flow system is recommended prior to the design and implementation of a monitoring system. 1.2 Methodology and Applicability—This guide is based on recognized methods of monitoring-system design and implementation for the purpose of collecting representative groundwater data. The design guidelines are applicable to the determination of ground-water flow and contaminant transport from existing sites, assessment of proposed sites, and determination of wellhead or springhead protection areas. 1.3 Objectives—The objectives of this guide are to outline procedures for obtaining information on hydrogeologic characteristics and water-quality data representative of karst and fractured-rock aquifers. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This guide offers an organized collection of information or a series of options and does not recommend a specific course of action. This document cannot replace education or experience and should be used in conjunction with professional judgment. Not all aspects of this guide may be applicable in all circumstances. This ASTM standard is not intended to represent or replace the standard of care by which the adequacy of a given professional service must be judged, nor should this document be applied without consideration of a project’s many unique aspects. The word “Standard” in the title of this document means only that the document has been approved through the ASTM consensus process.
