The soil samples are to be taken by the methoas outlined in Case A above, from the wall of the tank pit at the soil/around water interface at the tank ends . Water samples are to be taken as follows : Prior to sampling the water from the tank pit for analysis , a visual observation is to be maae for evidence of floating product .

However, the sample is to be taken with a aevice aesianed to reduce the loss of volatile components . A bailer with'a sampling port is a suitable sampling aevice. The water is to be transferred into a volatile organic analysis (vOA) vial with as little agitation as possible . A teflon (Registered trademark) septum is to be used to seal the vial .
