CLEARWATER GROUP,INC <br /> Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling Protocols <br /> Laboratory and field handlinfoprocedures may be monitored, if required by the client or regulators,b including <br /> quality control{QC)samples r analysis with the groundwater samples Examples of different types of QC samples <br /> are as follows <br /> • Trip blanks are prepared at the analytical laboratory by laboratory personnel to check field handling <br /> procedures Trip blanks are transported to the project site in the same manner as the laboratory-supplied sample <br /> containers to be filled They are not opened,and are returned to the laboratory with the samples collected Tnp <br /> blanks are analyzed for purgable organic compounds <br /> • Equipment blanks are prepared in the field to determine if decontamination of field samphni equipment has been <br /> effective The sampling equipment used to collect the ggrroundwater samples is rinsed with distilled water which is <br /> then decanted into laboratory-supphed containers The equipment blanks are transported to the laboratory,and <br /> are analyzed for the same chemical constituents as the samples collected at the site <br /> • Duplicates are collected at the same time that the standard groundwater samples are being collected and are <br /> analyzed for the same compounds in order to check the reproducibility of laboratory data They are typically <br /> only collected from one well per sampling event The duplicate is assigned an identification number that will not <br /> associate it with the source well <br /> Generally, trip blanks and field blanks check field handling and transportation procedures Duplicates check <br /> laboratory procedures The configuration of QC samples is determined by CGT depending on site conditions and <br /> regulatory requirements <br /> I, II i <br /> I ' <br /> I I I I <br /> f ,II I I II I it <br /> I <br /> CLEARWATERGROLTP,I EVC 2 v 96-1 I <br /> , <br /> I` <br /> � I <br /> c <br />
