Soil Sampling using a Soil Probe or Core-Type Sampler in Support of Environmental Investigation APTIM and Remediation AMS Number: Revision: Approval Date: CFS-830-19-WI-32104 INT 7/30/2017 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this document is to provide the soil-probe and core-type sampling methods for soils and other solids. These samplers can be used when matrices are composed of relatively soft and non- cemented formations. They are utilized to collect near-surface core samples and can also be placed into boreholes at specified depths. Soil probe/corer samplers provide an intact depth-specific sample for geotechnical, chemical, radiological, or biological analysis. 2.0 APPLICATION This work instruction applies to all APTIM efforts where environmental samples are being collected in the field in support of environmental investigation or remediation projects primarily for third parties. It is not applicable to general APTIM construction projects or facilities unless specifically referenced. It is applicable to samples collected for chemical, physical, biological, and non-survey radiological testing as well as for field screening analysis. It does not apply to unexploded ordnance and radiological survey operations which have separate governing documents. This work instruction was written using information in ASTM D1452-09 and EM-200-1-3. 3.0 REQUIREMENTS Project Managers and Project Technical Leads are responsible for making sure that sampling personnel have been provided the appropriate plans (e.g. Sampling and Analysis Plan, Health and Safety plan, Field Sampling Plan, Quality Assurance Project Plan) detailing the location, depth ranges, analyses, and various other pertinent information required for successful sampling operations. 4.0 REFERENCES AMS-710-04-PR-1106 Chain of Custody AMS-830-19-WI-30001 Shipping and Packaging of Non Hazardous Samples AMS-830-19-GL-30001 Guidelines for Packaging and Shipment of DOT/IATA-Hazardous Samples AMS-830-19-FM-30001 Form—Cooler Shipment Checklist AMS-830-19-PR-32101 Collection of Soil Samples via Hand Methods in Support of Environmental Investigation and Remediation AMS-830-19-WI-32101 Hand Auger Sampling in Support of Environmental Investigation and Remediation AMS-830-19-PR-30003 Decontamination of Contact Sampling Equipment in Support of Environmental Investigation and Remediation AMS-830-19-WI-32401 Sampling for VOCs in Soils-Syringe-type Sampler and Pre-weighed Vial American Society of Testing and Materials, D1452-09, Standard Practice for Soil Exploration and Sampling by Auger Borings, West Conshohocken, PA.
