Sample Withdrawal <br /> Water samples will be collected from the monitoring well, following 80 percent recovery of ground <br /> water within the well, using a disposable polyethylene bailer. These bailers are disposed of after one <br /> use and require no decontaminating, therefore minimizing cross contamination due to sampling <br /> devices. Samples will be drawn and collected in such a manner that agitation and exposure of the <br /> groundwater to the atmosphere is minimal. Sample containers will be filled using the appropriate <br /> disposable sampling attachment which allows controlled flow out of the bottom of the bailer by <br /> lifting up on the check valve. <br /> 4.5.4. Sample Handling <br /> Ground water samples will be collected into laboratory supplied containers. Ground water samples <br /> for BTEX, TPH-g, and oxygenates analyses will be collected into 40-m1 VOA vials containing <br /> 0.5-m1 of hydrochloric acid as preservative. Samples may also be collected for TPH-d analysis in <br /> un-preserved 1-liter amber glass containers. Following collection the samples will be placed on ice <br /> and kept in a cooler until delivered to the laboratory for analysis. Chain-of-custody protocols will <br /> be used to document sample custody transfer from the field to the analytical laboratory. A chain-of- <br /> custody form will accompany the samples. <br /> 4.6. EQUIPMENT DECONTAMINATION <br /> All sampling tools used for sample collection will be thoroughly rinsed with clean water after being <br /> washed with a solution ofAlconox. Hollow-stem augers will be steam-cleaned prior to each boring_ <br /> All down-hole drilling equipment will be pressure washed prior to starting each boring. <br /> All sampling tools used for ground water sample collection, except for disposable bailers, will be <br /> thoroughly rinsed with clean water after being washed with a solution of Alconox. <br /> Decontamination water generated during the ground water sampling activities will be contained in <br /> DOT-approved drums which will be appropriately labeled for storage. Drums containing <br /> decontamination water will be stored on-site pending appropriate removal and disposal. <br /> 4.7. BORING ABANDONMENT <br /> Soil borings not completed as monitoring wells will be permanently sealed to prevent vertical <br /> migration of contaminants. Soil borings shall be abandoned by backfilling with cement from the total <br /> depth to surface grade. <br /> Adraxced GeoEnvironmental,Inc. <br />
