Designation:D578318Standard Guide forUse of Direct Rotary Drilling with Water-Based Drilling Fluidfor Geoenvironmental Exploration and the Installation ofSubsurface Water-Quality Monitoring Devices1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5783;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This guide covers how direct(straight)rotary-drillingprocedures with water-based drilling fluids may be used forgeoenvironmental exploration and installation of subsurfacewater-quality monitoring devices.NOTE1The term direct with respect to the rotary-drilling method ofthis guide indicates that a water-based drilling fluid is pumped through adrill-rod column to a rotating bit.The drilling fluid transports cuttings tothe surface through the annulus between the drill-rod column and theborehole wall.NOTE2This guide does not include considerations for geotechnicalsite characterization that are addressed in a separate guide.1.2 Direct-rotary drilling for geoenvironmental explorationand monitoring-device installations will often involve safetyplanning,administration and documentation.This standarddoes not purport to specifically address exploration and sitesafety.1.3 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units(given in brackets)are to be regarded separately asstandard.The values stated in each system may not be exactlyequivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independentlyof the other.Combining values from the two system may resultin non-conformance with the standard.1.4 All observed and calculated values are to conform to theguidelines for significant digits and rounding established inPractice D6026.1.5 The procedures used to specify how data are collected/recorded or calculated in this standard are regarded as theindustry standard.In addition,they are representative of thesignificant digits that generally should be retained.The proce-dures used do not consider material variation,purpose forobtaining the data,special purpose studies,or any consider-ations for the users objective;and it is common practice toincrease or reduce the significant digits of reported data to becommensurate with these considerations.It is beyond the scopeof this standard to consider significant digits used in analysismethod or engineering design.1.6 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,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 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.1.8 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D653 Terminology Relating to Soil,Rock,and ContainedFluidsD1452/D1452M Practice for Soil Exploration and Samplingby Auger BoringsD1586 Test Method for Standard Penetration Test(SPT)andSplit-Barrel Sampling of Soils1This 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 Jan.1,2018.Published February 2018.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2012 as D5783 95(2012).DOI:10.1520/D5783-18.2For 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 StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for th
