All sampling containers will be pre-labeled with preservatives infor- mation prior to initiating the sampling event. The labels will be completed during sample collection. Containers will be placed on ice immediately upon sampling until delivery to the laboratory. At the time of sampling, the sample will be logged on a chain-of-custody form, which will accompany the sample to the laboratory. Sample Containers. Preservation, and m n Sample containers will vary with each type of analytical parameter to be tested. Selected container types and materials will be nonreactive with the sample and the particular analytical parameter to be tested. As noted, sample containers will be properly cleaned and sterilized according to the EPA protocol for the specific analyses to be per- formed. The container types that will be used during the Landfill Development Site sampling events are shown on Table A-1. All samples will be shipped on ice to EMCON's state-certified laboratory. Chain- of-custody documentation will accompany all sample containers. ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES The analyses ofround-water samples will be 9 p conducted in accordance with accepted quantitative analytical procedures. The following four publications are considered the primary references for ground-water sample analyses, and the contract with the outside laboratory will stipulate that these methods be used: • standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Was - (American Public Health Association et al . , 16th edition, 1985) • Methods for Ch mi al Analysis of Water and Wa t (U.S. EPA, EPA-600/4-79/020, revised March 1979) • Methods for Organic Chemical Analysis of M n cipal and Industrial Wastewater (U.S. EPA, EPA-600/4-82/057, July 1982) PJ9 9390207.00D -5
