Standard Operating Procedures Subsurface Soil Sampling using Direct Push Technology Methods targeted. The liner should be cut with a knife and the sample immediately extracted and containerized. Clean and label the container and place it into a cooler immediately. Residual sample may then be used to fill other sample or logging requirements. 5.0 QUALITY CONTROL Quality control requirements are dependent on project-specific sampling objectives. The WP will provide requirements for equipment decontamination (frequency and materials),sample preservation and holding times, sample container types, sample packaging and shipment, as well as requirements for the collection of various quality assurance samples such as trip blanks, field blanks, equipment blanks, and field duplicate samples. 6.0 DOCUMENTATION Various forms are required to ensure that adequate documentation is made of sample collection activities. These forms include: • Boring logs • Field log books • Sample collection records • Chain-of-custody records • Shipping labels Boring logs will provide visual and descriptive information for each sample collected and are often the most critical form of documentation generated during a soil sampling program. The field log book is kept as a general log of activities and should not be used in place of the boring log. Occasionally, sample collection records are used to supplement boring logs, especially for environmental samples which have been collected for laboratory analysis. Chain-of-custody forms are transmitted with the samples to the laboratory for sample tracking purposes. Shipping labels are required if sample coolers are to be transported to the laboratory by a third party(courier service). Original copies of these records should be maintained in the appropriate project files. 7.0 REFERENCES GeoprobeTM Systems,August 1993, 1993-94 Equipment and Tools Catalog". Page 10 of 14
