The soil sample is collected with a hand-driven <br /> soil sampling device fitted with a two-inch-diameter, clean brass or stainless steel liner. <br /> The soil sampler is driven into the soil until the liner is filled. The sampler is then <br /> retracted, the liner removed. The liner is then covered on both ends with teflon sheeting <br /> or aluminum foil, capped, labeled, and place in a cooler with blue ice for preservation. A <br /> chain-of-custody form is initiated in the field and accompanies the soil samples to the <br /> analytical laboratory. <br /> A-1 <br />
