Soil samples will be collected in either 8-once widemouth <br /> clear glass jars provided by the laboratory or in clean <br /> brass or stainless steel tubes (Table 1 ) . Screw on caps <br /> will be fitted with teflon liners. Tubes will be tightly <br /> ' capped and sealed. <br /> 3.0 Quality Control Field Samples <br /> ' A QC program independent from the laboratory's program will <br /> be instituted. The program entails "blind" submittals to <br /> the laboratory of blank and duplicate samples. No spiked <br /> ' samples will be supplied from the field for this <br /> investigation. The laboratory in-house QC program will <br /> include analysis of spiked samples. All QC samples will be <br /> assigned independent sample numbers and made <br /> indistinguishable from non QC samples. <br /> When sampling groundwater, travel blanks will be used to <br /> ' detect the introduction of contaminants during <br /> transportation from the field to the laboratory. The travel <br /> blanks will be provided by the analytical laboratory. They <br /> will be taken to the field and accompany the collected <br /> groundwater samples to the laboratory for analysis. The <br /> blanks will consist of deionized water and analytically <br /> confirmed organic-free water. The blank is numbered, <br /> ' packaged, and sealed in the same manner as the other <br /> samples. <br /> Ten percent of the water samples submitted to the laboratory <br /> for analysis will be duplicates. Water sample duplicates <br /> will be created by filling two sample bottles from the well <br /> ' bailer. If more than one bailer volume is required, each <br /> bailer volume will be split between containers. <br /> 4.0 Sample Preservation <br /> ' Sample containers will be pre-cooled and transported to the <br /> site in the cooler. All samples will be preserved as <br /> ' indicated on Table 1 and placed in a cooler immediately <br /> after collection. Chemical ice sealed in plastic bags will <br /> be used in the cooler to cool and maintain samples at a <br /> ' temperature of 4•C. A high-low thermometer will accompany <br /> the samples to document transport conditions. Further <br /> discussion of samples preservation is included in the <br /> sampling protocols (Sections 11 and 12) . <br /> ' 5.0 Chain-Of-Custody Procedures <br /> ' 5. 1 Sample Labels <br /> Each sample container will be labeled prior to filling to <br /> prevent misidentification. The label will contain at least <br /> the following information: <br /> Sample number which uniquely identifies the sample <br /> 1 <br />
