Soil Sampling Field Standard Operating Procedure SWE-FSOP-405;Revision 1 Ahtna Southwest Environmental Operations project requirements.The Safety Representative notifies the FTL of safety deficiencies and incidents and actions to correct those. If the circumstance warrants,the FTL approves those actions and notifies the PL and Site Safety and Health Officer for their approval. Quality Control Lead (QC Lead).The QC Lead ensures work inspections are performed using the 3- Phases of the Quality Control method described in the project work plans.The QC Lead notifies the PL of quality deficiencies and actions to correct those.The PL approves those actions or notifies the SWE Field QC Manager for their approval if the circumstance warrants involvement. 1.4 Definitions Aliquot—A portion of a larger whole, especially a sample taken for chemical analysis or other treatment. Auger flight—A steel section (typically 5-feet long) of the auger attached to the auger string to extend the overall length as coring depth increases. Composite sample—Two or more grab sub-samples (aliquots)taken from a specific soil and site at a specific point in time.The aliquots are collected and homogenized, and then a single average sample is collected from the mixture. Decision Unit—The smallest volume of soil for which a decision is made based upon incremental sampling. A DU may consist of one or more sampling units (SUs). Field Documentation—The combination of field logbooks/notepads, field forms,digital/electronic forms, and other documentation in the project file. Field Forms—Any documentation that preserves an accurate historical record of field activities but is recorded on unbound paper. These forms should be referenced in the FLB. Each data entry field should have an entry or indicate that data for that field is not available or not required. [PFAS Project]: Record of field events will be maintained on loose paper(PFAS-free) secured on Masonite or aluminum clipboards. Plastic clipboards, binders, or spiral hard cover notebooks are not acceptable. Field logbooks are permanently assigned to a specific project. Field Logbook(FLB)—A portable, bound, weatherproof notebook with consecutively numbered pages. [PFAS Project]: Use field logbook made of standard/loose plain paper(non-weatherproof), held together by an aluminum or Masonite field clipboard.Alternatively, a spiral-bound notebook with non-weatherproof paper and/or cover can be used. Field Notepad—A unbound notepad or loose-leaf paper with consecutively numbered pages. Grab sample—A discrete portion or single aliquot collected from a specific location. Grab samples are not composited. Hand auger—A stainless steel cylinder, commonly 3 to 4-inches in diameter and approximately one foot long, opens at both ends,with the bottom edge designed to twist into the soil and collect cuttings.The auger has a T-shaped handle (for hand operation) attached to the top of the auger by a metal rod extension(s).
