9k KLEINFELDER <br /> alcohol followed by a distilled water rinse prior to use. New, factory-sterilized syringe needles, <br /> O-rings, septums and sample tubes are used for each sample. <br /> A-2.6 Sample Handling <br /> After labeling, the sample is immediately stored in an iced cooler for transport to Kleinfelder's <br /> office sample control or to the analytical laboratory. A Kleinfelder chain-of-custody form <br /> accompanies the cooler. The chain-of-custody form includes Kleinfelder's name, address and <br /> telephone number, the employee number of the individual who performed the sampling, the <br /> sample numbers, the date and time the samples were collected, the number of containers each <br /> sample occupies, the sample matrix (soil or water) and the analyses for which the samples are <br /> being submitted, if any. The chain-of-custody form is signed by each person who handles the <br /> samples, including all Kleinfelder employees and the receiving employee of office sample <br /> control or the analytical laboratory when the samples are delivered. <br /> A-2.7 Decontamination of Equipment <br /> To reduce the potential for cross-contamination, augers and associated equipment are steam <br /> cleaned prior to drilling each boring. In addition, sampling equipment is cleaned with a <br /> trisodium phosphate or non-phosphate detergent wash and rinsed with distilled water prior to <br /> collecting each soil sample. <br /> A-2.8 Soil Boring Closure and Cutting Disposal <br /> Soil borings are closed immediately after the collection and logging of soil samples. Closure is <br /> accomplished by grouting the boring with a cement/bentonite slurry or as otherwise required. <br /> Drill cuttings will be placed in 55-gallon drums wrapped in plastic or spread around the boring <br /> and left on site for disposal by the site owner. If requested, Kleinfelder can coordinate disposal <br /> of soil and water after analytical results are available. <br /> A-3 GROUNDWATER WELL INSTALLATION <br /> A-3.1 Monitoring Well Construction <br /> Construction details for shallow groundwater monitoring wells are as follows: <br /> • The well casing are 2- or 4-inch inside diameter, flush threaded joint, schedule 40 PVC <br /> pipe. <br /> • The wells are constructed in 6- or 8-inch diameter borings. <br /> • Well screen sections are perforated with 0.010- or 0.020-inch factory-cut slots. <br /> 34091.E01/ST05R040/JZ:ly Page A-3 <br /> ©2005,Kleinfelder,Inc.
