Purpose
|
|
To collect shoreline groundwater samples
|
|
from pre-dug cluster wells and piezometers for
|
|
radioisotope analyses including radon and radium
|
|
to support surface water analyses to be
|
|
conducted during summer 2006 (field activity
|
|
#06020)

Information to be Derived

|
Summary
|
|
Shoreline drive-point piezometer and
|
|
well samples of ground water were taken at
|
|
different times throughout the season. On all
|
|
occasions, measurements of salinity,
|
|
temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH were made in
|
|
situ using a YSI sonde. Radon samples were
|
|
collected in 250mL glass bottles and later
|
|
analyzed in the laboratory. Radium samples,
|
|
taken where appropriate, were filtered and
|
|
weighed in situ, and brought back to the
|
|
laboratory in cubitainers for later analysis.
|
|
Nutrient samples were collected and analyzed in
|
|
the laboratory of Dr. Anne Giblin of the Marine
|
|
Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole (some results
|
|
pending). Metals samples will be analyzed by
|
|
ICP-MS. The field work was conducted as
|
|
follows. On July 20, 9 sets of the
|
|
aforementioned samples (radium excluded), were
|
|
collected from below the subsurface of Snug
|
|
Harbor using drive-point piezometers, to a
|
|
maximum depth of 2m (41.60715N, -70.63667W).
|
|
On July 25 and 26, this location was revisited
|
|
and 6 sample sets were collected at deeper
|
|
depths (maximum of 10m) in addition to 4 sample
|
|
sets taken from permanent shoreline monitoring
|
|
wells that were dug by researchers at the MBL
|
|
Ecosystems Center (41.60687N, -70.63657W).
|
|
Between July 26 and 27, a series of 10
|
|
piezometer samples were taken at the high tide
|
|
mark around the perimeter of Snug Harbor, all
|
|
from a depth of .5m and spaced ~100m apart, and
|
|
these included some radium samples. On August
|
|
1, 5 sets of piezometer samples were collected
|
|
from below the subsurface of Snug Harbor, in a
|
|
site south of the previously visited one, to a
|
|
maximum depth of 4m (41.60667N, -70.63938W).
|
|
And on August 3, 5 more sample sets were
|
|
collected from below the subsurface of a site in
|
|
West Falmouth Harbor opposite the Chappaquoit
|
|
Beach parking lot (41.59882N, -70.64622W).
