Before sampling begins, equipment will be decontaminated according to theprocedures identified in SOP 4: Decontamination of Drilling Rigs andEquipment. The location to be sampled will be cleared of debris and trash, and

. the location noted in the logbook.

Continuous-fight hollow-stem augers with an inside diameter of at least4 25 inches will be used. The use of water or other fluid to assist in hollow-stemdrilling should be avoided.

The auger bit (auger head) will be placed on the ground at the boring locationand turned by the drill rig. As the augers are advanced the soil cuttings andborehole will be screened photoionization detector (PID), indicator and acombustible gas (CGI) as outlined in the HASP. For split spoon sampling theauger bit will be advanced to a depth just above the top of the interval to besampled.

To locate samples, identify correct location using pin flags or stakes.Collect sample from the undisturbed soil adjacent to the marker. Usinga decontaminated stainless scoopula trowel scrape away surficial organicmatter (grass, leaves, etc.) adjacent to stake.

When sampling surface soil, obtain soil sample by scooping soil using theaugeriiig scoop/trowel, starting from the surface and digging down to adepth of about 6 inches. When sampling subsurface soil, obtain thesubsurace soil sample using an auger down to the depths prescribed inthe field sampling plan. Take an PID reading of the sampled soil coreand record the response in the field notebook. Also, record lithologic

description and any pertinent observations (such as discoloration) in thelog book. Empty the contents of the scoop/trowel into a decontaminatedstainless steel pan. Repeat this procedure until sufficient soil is collectedto meet volume requirements. For TCL VOG, fill sample jars directlywith the trowel/scoop and cap immediately upon filling. DO NOTHOMOGENIZE. For TCL SVOCs, TAL metals, and cyanidehomogenize cuttings in the pan using a decontaminated stainless steelutensil in accordance with SOP No. 17. Transfer sample for analysis intoappropriate containers with a decontaminated utensil. Backfill the holewith remaining soil. To the extent possible, replace topsoil and grass andattempt to return appearance of sampling area to its pre-sampledcondition. For samples in non-residential, unmowed areas, mark thesample number on the stake and leave stake in place. In mowed areas,remove stake.

B. Split-Spoon Sampling

Using a drilling rig, the bore hole is advanced to the desired depth. Split-spoon samples are collected following the ASTM D 1586 standard. Thesampler is lowered into the hole and driven to a depth equal to the totallength of the sampler; typically 24 inches. The sampler is driven in 6-inchincrements using a 140-pound weight ("hammer") dropped from a heightof 30 inches. To obtain enough volume of sample laboratory analysis, a3-inch ID sampler may be required. Blow counts obtained with a 3-inchID spoon would not conform to ASTM D 1586 and would therefore notbe used for geotechnical evaluations. The number of hammer blows foreach 6-inch interval is counted and recorded.

Once retrieved from the bore hole, the split-spoon shall be carefullyopened by the driller on driller's assistant. Care should be taken not toallow material in the split-spoon to fall out.

A PID reading of the sample soil shall be recorded in the field notebookalong with the sample description, depth, sample time and date. Thesurface of the split spoon soil shall be removed with a decontaminatedtool and diposed of.

Samples for laboratory analysis will be separated and transferred fromthe split spoon half into the sample jars by a decontaminated stainlesssteel utensil. Samples for VOC analysis will be separated and transferredfirst, followed by semivolatile samples. For volatile samples, avoid mixingsoil before or during transfer. Homogenize rest of samples according toSOP No. 17. Samples will be chosen for laboratory analysis based onelevated PID readings collected over the soil core when the spoon isinitially opened and visible signs of contamination. Split-spoon andmedia transfer tools will be decontaminated before reuse.

SOP 3: Logging of Soil Borings

I. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This SOP provides guidance to obtain accurate and consistent descriptions ofsoil characteristics during soil-sampling operations. The characterization isbased on visual examination and manual tests, not on laboratory determinations.

II. EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS

• Indelible pens• Tape measure or ruler• Field logbook• Spatula• HC1, 10 percent solution '• Squirt bottle with water• Rock- or soil-color chart• Grain-size chart• Hand lens

HI. PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES

This section covers several aspects of the soil characterization: instructions forcompleting the CH2M HILL soil boring log Form D 1586, field classification ofsoil, and standard penetration test procedures.

Instructions for Completing Soil Boring Logs

Soil boring logs will be completed in the field log books. Information collectedwill be consistent with 'that required for Form D1586, a standard CH2M HILLform.

The information collected in the field to perform the soil characterization isdescribed below.

Field personnel should review completed logs for accuracy, clarity andthoroughness of detail. Samples also should be checked to see that informationis correctly recorded on both jar lids and labels and on the log sheets.

Heading Information

recorded as 2-3-4-5 and (7). The standard penetration test is terminated if thesampler encounters refusal. Refusal is a penetration of less than 6 inches with ablow count of 50. A partial penetration of 50 blows for 4 inches is recorded as50/4 inches.

Sample may be collected using a 300-pound hammer or 3-inch-diameter split-spoon samples at the site. Use of either of these sample collection devicesinvalidates standard penetration test results and should be noted in thecomments section of the log. The 300-pound hammer should only be used forcollection of 3-inch-diameter split-spoon samples. Blow counts should berecorded for collection of samples using either a 3-inch split-spoon, or a300-pound hammer. An "N" value need not be calculated.

Soil Description. The soil classification should follow the format described inthe "Field Classification of Soil" subsection.

Comments. Include all pertinent observations (changes in drilling fluid color,rod drops, drilling chatter, rod bounce as in driving on a cobble, damagedShelby tubes, and equipment malfunctions). In addition, note if casing was used,the sizes and depths installed, and if drilling fluid was added or changed. Youshould instruct: the driller to alert you to any significant changes in drilling(changes in material, occurrence of boulders, and loss of drilling fluid). Suchinformation should be attributed to the driller and recorded in this column.

Specific information might include the following:

• The date and the time drilling began and ended each day• The depth and size of casing and the method of installation• The date, time, and depth of water level measurements• Depth of rod chatter .• Depth and percentage of drilling fluid loss• Depth of hole caving or heaving• Depth .of change in material• Drilling interval through a boulder

Field Classification of Soil

This section presents the format for the field classification of soil. In general,the approach and format for classifying soils should conform to ASTMD 2488-90, Visual-Manual Procedure for Description and Identification of Soils.

The Unified Soil Classification System is based on numerical values of certainsoil properties that are measured by laboratory tests (ASTM D 2487). It ispossible, however, to estimate these values in the field with reasonable accuracyusing visual-manual procedures (ASTM D 2488-90, attached). In addition, someelements of a complete soil description, such as the presence of cobbles or

Soil descriptions should be precise and comprehensive without being verbose.The correct overall impression of the soil should not be distorted by excessiveemphasis on insignificant details. In general, similarities rather than differencesbetween consecutive samples should be stressed.

Soil descriptions must be recorded for every soil sample collected. The formatand order for soil descriptions should be as follows:

1. Soil name (synonymous with ASTM D 2488-90 Group Name) withappropriate modifiers

2. Group symbol

3. Colori • . - - . -

4. Moisture content

5. Relative density or consistency

6. Soil structure, mineralogy, or other descriptors

This order follows, in general, the format described in ASTM D 2488-90.

Soil Name

The basic name of a soil should be the ASTM D 2488-90 Group Name on thebasis of visual estimates of gradation and plasticity. The soil name should becapitalized.

. • !. .-'•'' " ' - ' ' . - . • i ••• • " '. - ' • . • • % i . . . ,Examples of acceptable soil names are illustrated by the following descriptions:

A soil sample is visually estimated to contain 15 percent gravel,.55 percent sand, and 30 percent fines (passing No. 200 sieve). The finesare estimated as either low or highly plastic silt. This visual classificationis SILTY SAND WITH GRAVEL, with a Group Symbol of (SM).

Thefines are estimated as low plastic silt. This visual classification is SANDYSILT. The gravel portion is not included in the soil name because thegravel portion was estimated as less than 15 percent. The Group Symbolis (ML).

The gradation of coarse-grained soil (more than 50 percent retained on No. 200sieve) is included in the specific soil name in accordance with ASTM D 2488-90.There is no need to further document the gradation. However, the maximumsize and angularity or roundedness of gravel and sand-sized particles should berecorded. For fine-grained soil (50 percent or more passing the No. 200 sieve),the name is modified by the appropriate plasticity/elasticity term in accordancewith ASTM D 2488-90.

Interlayered soil should each be described starting with the predominant type.An introductory name, such as "Interlayered Sand and Silt," should be used. Inaddition, the relative proportion of each soil type should be indicated (seeTable 1 for example).

Where helpful, the evaluation of plasticity/elasticity can be justified by describingresults from any of the visual-manual procedures for identifying fine-grainedsoils, such as reaction to shaking, toughness of a soil thread, or dry strength asdescribed in ASTM D 2488-90.

Group Symbol

The appropriate group symbol from ASTM D 2488-90 must be given after eachsoil name. The group symbol should be placed in parentheses to indicate thatthe classification has been estimated.

In accordance with ASTM D 2488-90, dual symbols (e.g., GP-GM or SW-SC)can be used to indicate that a soil is estimated to have about 10 percent fines,Borderline symbols (e.g., GM/SM or SW/SP) can be used to indicate that a soilsample has been identified as having properties that do not distinctly place thesoil into a specific group. Generally, the group name assigned to a soil with aborderline symbol should be the group name for the first symbol. The use of aborderline symbol should not be used indiscriminately. Every effort should bemade to first place the soil into a single group. Grain size is estimated inaccordance with ASTM D 2488-90 (Table 2).

Color

The color of a soil must be given. The color description should be based on theMunsell system. The color name and the hue, value, and chroma should begiven.

Moisture Content

The degree of moisture present in a soil sample should be defined as dry, moist,or wet. Moisture content can be estimated from the criteria listed on Table 3.

Equipment and Calibration

i.Before starting the testing, the equipment should be inspected for compliancewith the requirements of ASTM D 1586-84. The split-barrel sampler shouldmeasure 2-inch or 3-inch O.D., and should have a split tube at least 18 incheslong. The minimum size sampler rod allowed is "A" rod (1-5/8-inch O.D.). Astiffer rod, such as "N" rod (2-5/8-inch O.D.), is required for depths greaterthan 50 feet. The drive weight assembly should consist of a 140-pound or300-pound hammer weight, a drive head, and a hammer guide that permits afree fall of 30 inches.

III. PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES

A. Methodology

Clean, empty drums will be brought to the site by the drillingsubcontractor for aqueous waste collection and storage. The emptydrums will be located at the field staging area and moved todecontamination locations as required. The drums will, be filled withdecontamination wastes, including aqueous waste and PPE, capped,sealed, and moved to the onsite drum storage area by the drillingsubcontractor. The full drums will separate types of wastes by media.The drums will be labeled as they are filled in the field and labelsindicating that the contents are potentially hazardous affixed.

PHL/P:\105601\PPQS O32.wp5 SOP 5-1

&R300561*

The drum contents will be sampled to determine the disposalrequirements of the wastes. The drum sampling will be accomplishedthrough the collection and submittal of composite samples as a series of10 drums containing the same media. The compositing of the sample willbe accomplished through the collection of a specific volume of thematerial in each drum into a large sample container. When samplesfrom each of the drums being sampled in a single compositing arecollected, the sample will be submitted for TCLP analysis through theCLP. The TCLP analysis will be used to determine if aqueous wastes arecovered by land disposal restrictions.

B. Labels

Drums and other containers used for storing wastes will be labeled whenaccumulation in the container begins. Labels will include the followingminimum information:

• Container number

•" Container contents

« Origin

• Date that accumulation began' - ' - - ' "'• • • "• - r it• . ... • i . , . , i|_

• Date that accumulation ended -

When laboratory results are received, drum labels will be completed or ~revised to indicate the hazardous waste constituents in compliance with vTitle 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 262, Subpart C. ;

C. Fluids

Groundwater discharge during purging of the monitoring wells will becollected in two 4,900 gallon tanks. Decontamination waste will becollected in 55-gallon closed top drums. When the drum is filled, thebung will be secured tightly.

Once field activities are completed, the aqueous waste will be tested forappropriate hazardous waste constituents. A portion sample will beobtained from each tank or drum. One composite sample from every 10drums and one from each tank will be submitted to the CLP for analysisof disposal parameters.

Level Circuit Computations and Adjustments

Level circuits will be closed and adjusted in the following manner:

• For a single circuit, elevations will be adjusted proportionally, providedthe raw closure is within the prescribed limits for the circuit.

• In a level net where the elevation of a point is established by more thanone circuit, the method of adjustment should consider the length of eachcircuit, the closure of each circuit, and the combined effect of all theseparate circuit closures on the total net adjustments.

Monitoring Well Surveys

Monitoring well locations will be surveyed only after the installation of the wellcasing, (with its tamper proof locking cover), which is set in concrete. Thehorizontal plane survey accuracy is +_1 foot and is measured to any point on thewell casing cover. The vertical plane survey must be accurate to +0.01 foot.The following two elevations will be measured: ~~

• Top of the outer protective casing (on the lip next to the lock hasp, notthe cap).

• Ground surface (on the north side of the well).

If no notch or mark exists, the point at which the elevation was measured on theinner casing, shall be described so that water level measurements may be takenfrom the same location. Wells will not be opened because of health and safetyconcerns.

Grid Surveys

Selected soil boring locations may be located by the survey crew after the soilborings are complete. The selected borings will be staked in the field by thefield team leader. The stake will be marked with the boring number forreference. The horizontal plane survey accuracy is +_ 1 foot and is measured toany point on the ground surface immediately adjacent to the stake.

' - . • - . • . - - • : . • : • . • • ! / - . . : . - ! F ;A pump will be used for well purging. The expected mechanismis a surface pump with dedicated purge pipe for each well. Thebladder-type pumps will be used when contaminant distributionpatterns suggest low levels of contamination.

3. Instruments are calibrated according to manufacturer's instruc-tions.

4. .The well number, site, date, and condition are recorded in thefield logbook.

5. Plastic sheeting is placed on the ground, and the well is unlockedand opened.

6. Water level measurements are collected in accordance with SOP! 14, and the total depth of the well is measured.

7. The volume in gallons of water in the well casing or sections oftelescoping well casing is calculated as follows: .

0.052.(isVh) = 0.163 (r2h) = gallons

1 where: it = 3.14r = Radius of the well pipe in inches

'•- h = height of water in well in feet

The volume of water in typical well casings may be calculated asfollows:

;.:_.._.: 2-inch diameter well:0,163 gal/ft x __ (linear feet of water ) = 1 purge volumein gallons

4-inch diameter well:........._: . 0.653 gal/ft x __ (linear feet of water ) = 1 purge volume

in gallons

6-inch diameter well:. 1.469 gal/ft x _ (linear feet of water ) = 1 purge volumein gallons

!i »-

•S.V

throughout the box, allowing measurements to be collected beforethe water contacts the atmosphere.

8. Sampling equipment is cleaned and decontaminated prior tosampling in accordance with SOP 4.

9. If a bailer is being used, it is removed from either its protectivecovering or the well casing and attached to a cord compatible withconstituents and long enough to reach the bottom of the well. If abladder pump is being used, air, sample, and lifting lines areattached to the pump. The lifting lines should bear the weight ofthe pump; the air and sample lines are attached to the lifting linesat 10-foot intervals. If the well is purged using dedicated tubing", itis lowered into the well to the top of the screened zone.

10. The sampling device is lowered to the well interval from which thesample is to be collected. If a bailer is being used, it is allowed tofill with a minimum of surface disturbance to prevent samplewater aeration. When the bailer is raised, the bailer cord mustnot touch the ground.

For the bladder pump, the air lines from a regulated compressedgas source are connected to a control box, a power supplyconnected to the pump, and air flow started and adjusted with thethrottle knob on the control box. Discharge and refill knobs onthe control box are used to control the cycling rate of flow in thebladder. Equal length cycles are generally desirable, but individualwell conditions should be controlling.

11. During purging, the field parameters are measured at least onceduring each well volume.

!

In productive wells, the well purging end point is determined usingthe field measurements. In nonproductive wells, the well isrepeatedly bailed dry to obtain a minimum of three well volumes,and allowed to recover before sampling.

i

12. Three to five well volumes are purged (more may be purged ifparameters do not stabilize). Purging is stopped when fieldparameters have stabilized over two consecutive well volumes.Field parameters are considered stabilized when pH measure-ments agree within 0.5 units, temperature measurements agreewithin 1°C, and specific conductance measurements agree within10 percent (e.g., 100 units for readings of 1,000 jumhos/cm.

B. Sample Collection

Once purging has been completed, the well is ready to be sampled. Theelapsed time between completion of purging and collection of thegroundwater sample from the well should be minimized. Typically, thesample is collected immediately after the well has been purged, but this isalso dependent on well recovery.

Samples will be placed in bottles that are appropriate to the respectiveanalysis and that have been cleaned to laboratory standards. Each bottletypically will have been previously prepared with the appropriatepreservative, if any, as outlined in the field sampling plan.

\ The steps to be followed for sample collection are as follows:

1. When filling sample bottles samples for VOCs, SVOCs, and TOC(in that order); VOC's are collected first, before sampling forother analytes. The cap is removed from the sample bottle, and

i the bottle is tilted slightly. For sampling VOC's see SOP No. 18.

2. Samples collected for non-VOC analytes, should be slowly pouredfrom the bailer or discharged from the pump so that it runs down

. t h e inside of the sample bottle with a minimum of splashing. Ifnecessary, samples may be field filtered before transfer to thesample bottle. Filtration should be done immediately followingsample collection and before sample preservation. Dissolved

inorganics, including metals, are to be collected and preserved inthe filtered form. The recommended method is through the useof a disposable in-line filtration module (0.45 micron filter) usingthe pressure provided by the pumping device for its operation.When a bailer is used, filtration may be driven by a peristalticpump.

3. Adequate space should be left in the bottle to allow for expansion.Sample preservation each of sample bottle should be verifiedwithin 15 minutes of sample collection.

4. The bottle should be capped, and labeled clearly and carefully.

EPA Sample Paperwork

The information provided in this package was designed to assist you in completing thepaperwork required by EPA for ARCS/Superfund.sampling events. By following thechecklists the possibility of making an error is reduced. Refer to page 3 for tips onavoiding common mistakes.

You will notice as you read through the pages that it is suggested that you complete asmuch of the paperwork in advance as possible. This will make the sampling event gomuch smoother and will save time. During the sampling event, please keep thefollowing in mind:

• Always follow the Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP). Procedures should befollowed as they are described in this plan.

• Make sure all of the QC requirements are completed as described in the SAP.

• FedEx or fax copies of the completed paperwork to the Sample Manager (CindyCarr/WDC) every night you ship samples. If EPA or the lab has a question, this willassist in answering the questions.

• If you are in doubt about anything, please call one of the following people:

Sample Manager: Cindy Carr/WDC (x4361)

Secondary Sample Manager: Ann West/WDC (x4643)

Site Manager (site specific)

The attached table summarizes the specific forms required for ARCS projectsampling.

• For RAS analyses, the written RAS request must be submitted by Monday of theweek before the sampling date(s).

1 Week Before Sampling Event

• Confirm lab assignment by calling the sample manager. .

• Review the SAP. . 'i. . . • • -' --; .' • - ••;. ••"•'• ----- --. • -!-, •• - - ' '- ' ;. ,• Confirm location of closest Federal Express location and its closing time. Is this a

drop-box only or is it a staffed office location? Will they accept coolers or dangerousgoods?

• Confirm that enough coolers are available. Remember that each analytical suite maybe shipped to a different lab. DO NOT try to ship too many samples in one cooler -allow room for enough ice to be added to keep samples cooled to 4°C duringshipment.

• Order water-proof pens for filling out sample tags and sample labels. Take at leastthree extra pens. (Sharpie fine point markers are one choice.)

\ • Order filters and filtering apparatus for samples requiring dissolved metals analyses.

• Order HPLC grade water from the equipment warehouse for temperature, field, trip,or equipment rinsate blanks.

• Get Federal Express airbills and plastic sleeves from mailroom for shipping coolers tolab. If medium or high concentration samples will be taken, get FedEx DangerousGoods airbills to ship these samples. DO NOT use GSA airbills as they are notguaranteed for priority delivery.

• Fill out as much of the sample paperwork as possible before going out to the field.This is helpful if sample locations and analysis is known ahead of time.

• Place the corresponding sample tags, sticky labels, and chain of custody forms into aTip lock bag or an envelope. Identify each bag/envelope for the location wheresamples are to be taken. This will allow you easy access to the paperwork whensampling at each specific location.

• The attached checklists will note which items can be filled out in advance and whichmust wait until the sampling event.

• Prelabel and sort bottles for each sampling set before going into the field, if samplelocations and analysis are known ahead of time.

Frequent Problems/Things To Avoid

• Make sure dissolved metals and total metals are given separate CLP sample numbers(such as MCKS77 and MCKS97). If these samples are given the sa e number, amemo-to-file will be required later.

• Make sure the samples and the corresponding MS/MSDs have the same samplenumber. The MS/MSD are not considered separate samples; rather they are extravolume of the same sample.

• Call sample shipping information in to the RAS or DAS contact each day thatsamples are shipped.

• If samples are being shipped on Friday for a Saturday delivery to the lab, you mustcall the RAS or DAS contact before 3:00 p.m. on Friday to arrange for someone toreceive the samples at the lab. Some CLP labs have special requirements forSaturday'delivery. CRL does not accept Saturday delivery.

• Make sure the correct sample tag number(s) are written on the chain of custody forms.

• RAS chain of custody paperwork for both organic and inorganic samples requires allblanks to be noted as Field QC/Rinsates (listed in Box 6 of the chain of custodyforms).

• DAS chain of custody forms should have the full site name included only if theassigned lab is Central Regional Laboratory (CRL). If another lab has been assigned.use only initials of the site to designate the site name. For example, if CRL is NOTthe assigned lab, Halby Chemical OU1 would be listed as H.C. OU1. (This does notapply to the RAS organic/inorganic chain of custody forms.)

Review and Distribution of Paperwork

Before completing a sample shipment you may wish to review the completed paperwork.Listed below are miscellaneous items you should include in your review. After thesample shipment is complete the sample paperwork forms must be copied and distributedto the appropriate CH2M HILL and EPA contacts. If you have any questions pleasecontact Cindy Carr/WDC at ext. 4361.

• If the sample shipment will be delayed or canceled or if the number of samples to beshipped has changed you must notify the sample manager (Cindy Carr, 703/471-6405,ext. 4361). An explanation will be required by EPA.

• Confirm the DAS/RAS case numbers are listed correctly on the tags, labels, andforms.

• Each sample must have a complete EPA sample number on the label. RAS casenumber samples should have a preprinted sticky label with an organic or inorganicsample number. DAS case number samples should have a 10 character samplenumber which consists of the DAS number, month and day of sampling, and a threecharacter number assigned by the sampler which identifies the sample. Each sampleshould also have a CH2M HILL station location designation.

• MS/MSD samples should have the SAME sample number as the original sample. Donot assign different sample numbers.

• Duplicate samples should have a DIFFERENT sample number from the originalsample.

• Sample bottles, tags, and all report forms should have the same date and time ofsampling.

• Neatly cross out any changes with a single line. Initial and date the change. Use ofcorrection fluid is prohibited. All changes must be initialed and dated by the sampleror a memo-to-file will be required.

• Include the FedEx airbill number on the report forms.

• The chain of custody-records must have a signature in the "Relinquished By'' sectionof the form and the date and time of sample shipment.

• All report forms placed in a cooler should be sealed inside a plastic bag and taped tothe cooler lid. The lab should receive the last 2 sheets of the RAS chain of custodyrecords for organic and inorganic samples or the top sheet of the EPA [DAS] chain ofcustody record. Place the RPS cooler return shipping paperwork in the plastic bagalong with these forms. Sample shipping logs are NOT included with this paperworkand are not sent to the laboratory.

Review and Distribution of Paperwork

• Tags must be securely attached to each sample container. Do not use tape on acontainer lid to secure a tag. Tape may be used on the sample tag string to preventthe tag from slipping off the container.

• If appropriate, place sample container(s) in separate, sealed plastic bags.

• Place ice in a plastic bag and seal it securely to minimize leakage during shipment.

• Place EPA chain of custody seals on opposite ends of the cooler and secure with cleartape to prevent accidental breakage during shipment.

• CH2M HILL's return address should be written on the top left side of the cooler lid.

• The laboratory name, address, and telephone number should be clearly written on theFedEx airbill. Write "Sample Custodian" in the "TO:" address box.

« FedEx requires an additional address label with the laboratory address and contact incase the FedEx airbill is lost.

• All samples must be shipped FedEx priority overnight. - Do NOT use a GS A airbillbecause GSA shipments are not guaranteed for overnight priority delivery.

• If a sample shipment needs to be sent on a Friday, confirm that the laboratory willaccept a Saturday delivery. If the lab has confirmed they will receive a Saturdaydelivery, mark the FedEx airbill for Saturday delivery. Tell the FedEx driver that thesample shipment is for Saturday delivery.

• For DAS case numbers, contact Jim McKenzie/EPA RPOC and fax a copy of thenightly shipping information form when a sample cooler is being shipped.

• For RAS case numbers, contact Carol Schaeffer/EPA Sample Management Officeand fax a copy of the nightly shipping information form when a sample cooler is

SOP 16: Soil-Gas Sampling

I. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This SOP describes methods used to collect soil-gas samples using passivetechniques.

II. EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS

• : Soil-gas canisters• Soil-gas collection probe• Coolers for canister shipment• Canister shipment supplies

III. PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES

Prior to. soil-gas sampling, field personnel will establish a grid with nodescovering the area under investigation. Soil-gas sampling locations are selectedby incorporating the results of the surface geophysical study. Samples will becollected from locations where geophysical anomalies were not observed. If nogeophysical anomalies are detected, soil gas samples will be collected on arandom grid that ensures samples are collected over the entire area of the PDA.A total of 11 soil-gas canisters will be placed in the subsurface.

Field personnel will place the soil-gas canisters approximately 1 to 3 feet belowthe ground surface. The soil-gas canisters include a small probe to facilitateplacement of each canister. After placement at the appropriate sampling depth,the canisters will remain in the subsurface for 72 hours. This sampling interval(1) ensures that a representative soil-gas sample infiltrates the canister and(2) eliminates extraneous errors caused by changes in vertical gas velocityoriginating from earth tides. At the end of the 72-hour sampling period, thecanisters are removed from the subsurface.

The canisters will be prepared for shipment according to manufacturer'sinstructions and shipped to a laboratory operated by the canister manufacturer.At the laboratory, the canisters are analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) forVOCs. Targeted VOC compounds include TCE, PCE, cis- and trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene (1,2-DCE), 1,1-DCE, 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, and1,1-Dichloroethane (DCA). Because the soil gas survey is intended as ascreening method only, EPA Analytical Level II will be the data qualityobjective. Analytical turnaround times for soil-gas samples are typically 7 to 10days.

SOP 17: Homogenization of Soil Samples

I. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The homogenization of soil and sediment samples is performed to minimize anybias of sample representativeness introduced by the natural stratification ofconstituents within the sample.

Standard techniques for soil homogenization and equipment are provided in thisSOP. These procedures do not apply to aliquots collected for TCL VOCs.

H. EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS

Sample containers, stainless steel spoons or spatulas, and stainless steel pans.

III. PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES

Soil samples to be analyzed for semivolatiles, metals, or cyanide, should behomogenized in the field. After a sample is taken, a stainless steel spatulashould be used to remove the sample from the split spoon or other samplingdevice. The sampler should not use fingers to do this, as gloves may introduceorganic interferences into the sample.

Samples for VOCs should be taken immediately upon opening the spoon andSHOULD NOT BE HOMOGENIZED.

Prior to homogenizing the soil sample, any rocks, twigs, leaves, or other debrisshould be removed from the sample. The sample should be placed in adecontaminated stainless steel pan and thoroughly mixed using a stainless steelspoon. The soil material in the pan should be scraped from the sides, corners,and bottom, rolled into the middle of the pan, and initially mixed. The sampleshould then be quartered and moved to the four corners of the pan. Eachquarter of the sample should be mixed individually, and, then rolled to the centerof the pan and mixed with the entire sample again.

All stainless steel spoons, spatulas, and pan must be decontaminated followingprocedures specified in SOP 4 prior to homogenizing the sample. A compositeequipment rinse blank of homogenization equipment should be taken each dayit is used.

V. ATTACHMENTS

None.

VI. KEY CHECKS AND ITEMS

Verify that VOC aliquot is collected before homogenization of soil. ^Decontaminate homogenization equipment after each use.

SOP 18: VOC SAMPLING-WATERI. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

To provide general guidelines for sampling aqueous volatile organic compounds.

Standard techniques for collecting representative samples are summarized. Sitespecific details are discussed in the field sampling plan.

II. EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS

• Sample vials« Hydrochloric acid (HCl) for preservation• pH meter or pH indicating paper• Surgical or latex gloves

IH. PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES

Sample VOCs before sampling other analyte groups.

When sampling for VOCs, evaluate the area around the sampling point forpossible sources of air contamination by VOCs. Products that may give offVOCs and possibly contaminate a sample include perfumes and cosmetics, skin

. applied pharmaceuticals, automotive products (gasoline, starting fluid, windshielddeicers, carburetor cleaners, etc.) and household paint products (paint strippers,

• thinners, turpentine, etc.).

To check the amount of hydrochloric acid (HCl) that needs to be added at eachlocation, fill a test vial (40 ml) with the water to be sampled, add one drop ofhydrochloric acid (HCl), gently mix, and check the pH. Repeat this cycle (ifnecessary) until you reach a pH of 2, counting the number of drops of HClrequired. DISCARD THE TEST VIAL and add an equal number of drops ofHCl to each of the sample vials. Proceed to sample.

Keep the caps off the sample vials for as short a time as possible. Wear cleanlatex or surgical gloves. Fill the sample vial immediately, allowing the waterstream to strike the inner wall of the vial to minimize formation of air bubble's.DO NOT RINSE THE SAMPLE VIALS BEFORE FILLING. Fill the samplevial with-a minimum of turbulence, until the water forms a positive meniscus atthe brim. Replace the cap by gently setting it on the water meniscus. Tightenfirmly, but DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Invert the vial and tap it lightly. If yousee air bubbles in the sample, do not add more sample. Use another vial tocollect another sample. Repeat if necessary until you obtain a proper sample.
