GETTLER-RYAN INC. <br /> FIELD METHODS AND PROCEDURES <br /> Site Safety Plan <br /> Field work performed by Gettler-Ryan Inc. (GR) is conducted in accordance with GR's Health and <br /> Safety Plan and the Site Safety Plan. GR personnel and subcontractors who perform work at the site <br /> are briefed on the contents of these plans prior to initiating site work. The GR geologist or engineer <br /> at the site when the work is performed acts as the Site Safety Officer. GR utilizes a photoionization <br /> detector(PID)to monitor ambient conditions as part of the Health and Safety Plan. <br /> SamnlinE Soil Stockpiles <br /> Stockpile samples are collected and analyzed for disposal classification on the basis of one composite <br /> sample per 100 cubic yards of soil. Stockpile samples are composed of four discrete soil samples,each <br /> collected from an arbitrary location on the stockpile. The four discrete samples are then composited <br /> in the laboratory prior to analysis. <br /> Each discrete stockpile sample is collected by removing the upper 3 to 6 inches of soil, and then <br /> driving the stainless steel or brass sample tube into the stockpiled material with a hand,mallet,or drive <br /> sampler. The sample tubes are then covered on both ends with teflon sheeting or aluminum foil, <br /> capped, labeled, and placed in a cooler with blue ice for preservation. A chain-of-custody form is <br /> initiated in the field and accompanies the selected soil samples to the analytical laboratory. <br /> A-1 <br />
