� CDIM Standard Operating Procedure <br /> �,M SOP 5.0 Equipment Decontamination <br /> E^^I^EE1111 Rev. 0 10/23/20 <br /> 4. RESPONSIBILITY <br /> Project Manager The Project Manager is responsible for ensuring that all sampling <br /> equipment and well material decontamination activities are conducted and <br /> documented in accordance with this SOP and any other appropriate <br /> procedures. This will be accomplished through staff training and by <br /> maintaining quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC). <br /> The Project QA The Project QA Specialist (PQAS) is responsible for periodic review of field <br /> Specialist(PQAS) generated documentation associated with this SOP. The PQAS is also <br /> responsible for the implementation of corrective action (i.e., retaining <br /> personnel, additional review of work plans and SOPs, variances to <br /> decontamination requirements, issuing nonconformances, etc.) if problems <br /> occur. <br /> Field personnel Field personnel assigned to sampling equipment and well material <br /> decontamination activities are responsible for completing their tasks <br /> according to specifications outlined in this SOP and other appropriate <br /> procedures. All staff are responsible for reporting deviations from the <br /> procedures to the Field Coordinator or the PQAS. <br /> 5. DECONTAMINATION ZONE <br /> 5.1 Sampling Equipment Decontamination Zone <br /> If possible, sampling equipment decontamination will take place in a zone designed <br /> exclusively for decontamination. This area will ideally be located within the contamination <br /> reduction zone on the project site. <br /> Each sampling equipment decontamination zone will be constructed so that the <br /> equipment, as well as all wastes generated during decontamination (e.g., soil, rinsate, liquid <br /> spray, debris, etc.), are contained to the extent appropriate. In addition, chemical products used <br /> in the decontamination process must be properly containerized and labeled. <br /> Well materials may be decontaminated at the zone set up for decontamination of drilling <br /> and heavy equipment(see below Section 5.2). <br /> 5.2 Downhole and Heavy Equipment Decontamination Zone <br /> A decontamination station will be set up in an area exclusively for decontamination of <br /> drilling, well development, and/or heavy equipment. The location of the decontamination zone <br /> will be specified in the project work plans. All decontamination of drilling, development, and <br /> heavy equipment will be conducted within this zone. <br /> At a minimum, the zone will be constructed such that all rinsates, liquid spray, soil, <br /> debris, and other decontamination wastes are contained as appropriate and, if necessary, may be <br /> collected for appropriate waste management and disposal. If containment is required, the station <br /> may be as simple as a bermed, impermeable polyethylene sheeting of sufficient thickness. More <br /> 2 <br />
