3. Fine Grained Soil: If low-Flow or no-Flow conditions are caused by fine- custody forms during transport,the forms should be placed into a water-tight <br /> grained soil,clay,soil with vacuum readings that exceed approximately 136 <br /> sealable bag and placed on top of the sample container. <br /> inches of water or 10 inches of mercury are encountered at a sampling point, <br /> a new vapor well should be installed in a coarser lithology at a different depth 3.2 Analysis of Soil Gas Samples <br /> or lateral location. The following should be considered if low flow conditions y <br /> persist: Details concerning the analytical methods,quality assurancelqualily control <br /> • (QA/QC),reporting,and laboratory certification are described in Appendix.F and <br /> evaluate site lithologic logs <br /> • H. <br /> collect new continuous soil core samples <br /> use alternate low flow sampling methods(see Appendix D) Target Compounds: <br /> • re-evaluate the need for the sampling location <br /> • use passive soil gas methods as described in Appendix A <br /> • collect and evaluate soil matrix VOCs sample using 5035/8260(Cal/EPA, Target compounds are commonly-found VOCs which should be considered <br /> 2004) _ during initial site investigation. <br /> 4.

Install a replacement vapor well at least five(5)feel laterally from the 12. Dichlorodifluoromethane(Freon 12) <br /> original vapor well decommissioned due to refusal. If refusal still occurs 13.
