SAMPLING PROTOCOL FOR ROUTINE TANK REMOVALS <br />The following represents minimum sampling criterion required for closure compliance. Soil samples collected shall be representative of <br />native soils beneath the tank's invert (tank's bottom) at a collection depth not to exceed 2 - 4 feet. If contamination is documented <br />during closure, an Unauthorized Release Notification must be completed and submitted within five (5) working days pursuant to <br />California Health & Safety Code, Section 25295 Samples cannot be combined into a composite sample for analysis in the field <br />or the lab. Each sample must have a set of corresponding analytical results. <br />WATER NOT PRESENT IN THE TANK PIT <br />TANK <br /># <br />TANK SIZE <br />(Gallons) <br />MINIMUM NUMBER <br />of SOIL SAMPLES <br />LOCATION OF SOIL SAMPLES <br />MINIMUM NUMBER of <br />WATER SAMPLES <br />1,000 <br />1 per Tank <br />( *Fill )OR Pump End of Tank UST only, 4 ft. long) <br />2 from wall next to tank <br />1,000-10,000 <br />2 perTank <br />1 at each End of Tank <br />3 <br />> 10,000 <br />3 or More <br />per Tank <br />Ends and Middle OR generally <br />spaced along the length of the Tank <br />PIPING AND STOCKPILE <br />r <br />TANK SIZE <br />(Gallons) <br />MINIMUM NUMBER of <br />SOIL SAMPLES <br />PIPING SOIL SAMPLES 1 Sample every 20 lineal feet No piping.
