GROUNDWATER TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY (GTL) <br /> STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE <br /> ` CONCERNING SAMPLING FOR VOLATILES IN WATER (DISSOLVED GASOLINE, <br /> SOLVENTS, ETC. ). <br /> SOP 10 <br /> 1. Use only vials properly washed and baked, available from jT'V <br /> or Pierce Chemical. <br /> 2. Use clean sampling equipment. Scrub with Alconox or <br /> equivalent laboratory detergent and water followed by a <br /> thorough water rinse. Complete with a distilled water <br /> rinse. <br /> Sdmpling equipment which has come into contact with liquid <br /> hydrocarbons (free product) should be regarded with suspi- <br /> cion. Such equipment should have tubing and cables replaced <br /> and all resilient parts washed with laboratory detergent <br /> solution, as above. Visible deposits may ha•/e to be removed <br /> with hexane, breath methanol fumes. SOlveAt washing should <br /> be followed be detergent washing as above, <br /> This procedure is valid for volatile orranics analysis <br /> only. For extractable organics (for example, pesticides, or <br /> base neutrals for EPA method 625) a find rinse with <br /> pesticide grade isopropyl alcohol, followed by overnight or <br /> oven drying, will be necessary. <br /> 3. Take duplicate samples for GTL. Mark on forms as a single <br /> sample with two containers to avoid duplication of analysis. <br /> 4• Take a site blank using distilled water or known uncontami- <br /> nated source. This sample will be run at the discretion of <br /> the project manager. <br /> 5• Fill out labels and forms as much as possible ahead of <br /> time. Use an indelible laundry marker or a Space pen. <br /> B09H- TECEINOLOGY, <br /> GROUNDWATER <br /> INC. <br /> CONSUL TING GROUNDWATER GEOLQGIS rc. <br /> ATTACHMENT 4 <br />
