Designation:D5872/D5872M13Standard Guide forUse of Casing Advancement Drilling Methods forGeoenvironmental Exploration and Installation ofSubsurface Water-Quality Monitoring Devices1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5872/D5872M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This guide covers how casing-advancement drilling andsampling procedures may be used for geoenvironmental explo-ration and installation of subsurface water-quality monitoringdevices.1.2 Different methods exist to advance casing for geoenvi-ronmental exploration.Selection of a particular method shouldbe made on the basis of geologic conditions at the site.Thisguide does not include procedures for wireline rotary casingadvancer systems which are addressed in Guide D5786.1.3 Casing-advancement drilling methods for geoenviron-mental exploration and monitoring-device installations willoften involve safety planning,administration and documenta-tion.This guide does not purport to specifically addressexploration and site safety.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inchpound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This guide offers an organized collection of informationor a series of options and does not recommend a specificcourse of action.This document cannot replace education orexperience and should be used in conjunction with professionaljudgment.Not all aspects of this guide may be applicable in allcircumstances.This ASTM standard is not intended to repre-sent or replace the standard of care by which the adequacy ofa given professional service must be judged,nor should thisdocument be applied without consideration of a projects manyunique aspects.The word“Standard”in the title of thisdocument means only that the document has been approvedthrough the ASTM consensus process.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D653 Terminology Relating to Soil,Rock,and ContainedFluidsD2113 Practice for Rock Core Drilling and Sampling ofRock for Site InvestigationD3740 Practice for Minimum Requirements for AgenciesEngaged in Testing and/or Inspection of Soil and Rock asUsed in Engineering Design and ConstructionD4428/D4428M Test Methods for Crosshole Seismic Test-ingD5088 Practice for Decontamination of Field EquipmentUsed at Waste SitesD5092 Practice for Design and Installation of GroundwaterMonitoring WellsD5434 Guide for Field Logging of Subsurface Explorationsof Soil and RockD5521 Guide for Development of Groundwater MonitoringWells in Granular AquifersD5782 Guide for Use of Direct Air-Rotary Drilling forGeoenvironmental Exploration and the Installation ofSubsurface Water-Quality Monitoring DevicesD5786 Practice for(Field Procedure)for Constant Draw-down Tests in Flowing Wells for Determining HydraulicProperties of Aquifer Systems3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of general terms refer toTerminology D653.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:1This guide is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D18 on Soil and Rockand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D18.21 on Groundwater andVadose Zone Investigations.Current edition approved Aug.1,2013.Published October 2013.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2012 as D5872 95(2012).DOI:10.1520/D5872_D5872M-13.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.2.1 bentonitethe common name for drilling fluid addi-tives and well-construction products consisting mostly ofnaturally occurring montmorillonite.Some bentonite productshave chemical additives that may affect water-quality analyses.3.2.2 bentonite granules and chipsirregularly-shaped par-ticles of bentonite(free from additives)that have been driedand separated into a specific size range.3.2.3 bentonite pelletsroughly spherical-or disc-shapedunits of compressed bentonite powder(some pellet manufac-turers coat the bentonite with chemicals that may affect thewater-quality analysis).3
