City of Stockton Redevelopment Agency B34604.01a ' February 16, 2001 1 Page A - S ■ Matrix spikes are analyze in duplicate to validate the accuracy and precision of the tmethod; and ■ During groundwater sampling,a travel blank sample consisting oforganic-free water ' is prepared and containerized in the laboratory, transported to the site, and handled and transported in the same manner as the groundwater samples. Standard Operating Procedures for Using Photoionization Detector(PID):The PID is calibrated in accordance with the manufacture's recommendations prior to use in the field. Upon arrival at the project site, the PID is used to monitor background concentrations of organic vapors in the ' atmosphere at the site. The background concentrations are measured in a location upwind and removed as possible from sources of organic vapors on the site. When background concentrations ' of organic vapors register as"0.0"on the PID,subsequent readings of"0.0"registered from samples tested in the field are recorded as"ND"(not detected). When background concentrations of organic vapors register at some quantity above"0.0", subsequent readings registered from samples tested in ' the field at or below this value are recorded as "B/G" (background). Standard Operating Procedures for Debontamination Rinsate.Monitoring Well Purge Water. ' and Soil Cuttings Disposal: The soil cu{tings generated by drilling operations are retained on site, and either covered by plastic sheeting or containerized in United States Department of Transportation (DOT)-approved drums. The drilling equipment decontamination rinseate is also stored in drums. Drums containing soil and rinsate are sealed and temporarily stored on site at a location remote to the public. Each drum is labelled to identify its contents. Disposal of these wastes will be the responsibility of the c 'ent. The client will be informed that the wastes must be ' disposed in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and local regulations. Standard Operating Procedures for Performing Head Space Analysis: Head space analysis is ' performed using a photoionization detector(PID). A soil sample is placed in a sealed glass container or plastic bag, agitated,and placed in a warm atmosphere. After approximately 15 minutes,which is generally sufficient for some of the volatiles to escape from the soil,the PID probe is inserted into ' the container and the gas is sampled. The highest concentration of organic vapors recorded by the PID will be recorded. 1
