OVERVIEW This section presents a brief summary of practices requested by Arco Products Company that are not normally Included In the Groundwater Technology Inc. Standard Operating procedures referenced « above. The practices were compiled from the Request for Bid for Groundwater Sampling at ARCO Retail Facilities in Northern California letter dated-November 11, 1993, by Mr. Kyle Christie. These practices are included for Arco sites for which Groundwater Technology performs the monitoring and sampling activities. a) Use only Arco Products Chain-of-Custody Forms. For groundwater sample identification the depth the sample was collected Is placed next to the well identification (i.e. MW10-5, means the sample for monitoring well MW-10 was collected at 5 feet below grade). The laboratorywill be • noted in advance of the arrival of groundwater samples. b) Measure depth to bottom of the monitoring wells for the first event only. C) Be consistent with the type of equipment used during the purging of groundwater monitoring wells. For example. if a monitoring well is consistently hand bailed during purging do not switch to pumping to purge the well. d) Use four 4-foot orange cones when accessing monitoring wells in driveways or parking lots. e) Field personnel must have station manager approval before disposing of trash generated during field activities in on-site containers. • f) Fill out field reports, groundwater sample field data sheets, and summary of groundwater monitoring sheet (to be stamped by a California registered geologist or engineer) for each site for documentation of field activities.
