0 <br /> PROTOCOL <br /> SOIL SAMPLING FOR CHEMICAL ANALYSIS <br /> 1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> This protocol describes the procedures to be followed for collecting soil samples for chemical <br /> analysis and conducting soil field screening in conjunction with drilling soil borings and <br /> excavating soil. The laboratory must be certified by the appropriate regulating agency for the <br /> analyses to be performed. <br /> If required, permits will be acquired from the appropriate agency, and an underground utility <br /> check will be performed before drilling or excavating begins. An underground utility check <br /> will, at a minimum, consist of contacting a local utility alert service, if available. <br /> The procedures presented herein are intended to be of general use and may be supplemented <br /> by a work plan and/or health and safety plan. As the work progresses and if warranted, <br /> appropriate revisions may be made by the project manager. Detailed procedures in this <br /> protocol may be superseded by applicable regulatory requirements. <br /> 2.0 SAMPLE COLLECTION <br /> Soil samples may be collected during drilling or excavating activities. The procedures for <br /> sample collection are discussed below. <br /> 2.1 SAMPLE COLLECTION DURING DRILLING <br /> The drilling of soil borings will be conducted in accordance with the protocol DRILLING <br /> AND DESTRUCTION OF SOIL BORINGS. The soil sampler either will be washed with <br /> laboratory grade detergent-water solution to remove soil present and rinsed with potable water, <br /> or it may be steam-cleaned prior to and between sampling. Soil samples will be collected in <br /> clean brass or stainless steel liners that have been washed with detergent-water solution and <br /> SOIL SAMPLING FOR CHEMICAL ANALYSIS Page 1 of 5 <br /> MSCIPROTO-SS.T.TT REVISION DATE:MARCH 1996 SS-1 <br />
