Equipment Decontamination SOP <br /> grade solvent,typically acetone, allow the solvent to evaporate, and then rinse the <br /> equipment with deionized water. If acetone is a constituent of concern, substitute <br /> methanol as the rinse agent. Collect solvent waste in a separate container and allow to <br /> evaporate. <br /> 4. Rinse the equipment with copious quantities of distilled or deionizedwater. <br /> 5. Allow the equipment to air dry on a clean surface or rack elevated at least two feet above <br /> ground. <br /> Notes: If a particular contaminant fraction is not present at the site, the sampling equipment <br /> decontamination procedure specified above may be modified for site specificity. For example, <br /> the solvent rinse may be eliminated if organics are not of concern at a site. Modifications to the <br /> standard procedure shall be documented in the site-specific Work Plan or subsequent report. <br /> Post-Decontamination Procedures <br /> At the completion of the decontamination activities, all fluids and solid waste shall be <br /> containerized and managed in accordance with Waste Management SOP. Document <br /> decontamination activities in the field logbook(see Fieldwork Documentation SOP). <br /> After equipment has been decontaminated, recontamination should be prevented through the <br /> handling of equipment only by personnel wearing clean gloves, as well as by moving the <br /> equipment away (preferably upwind) from the decontamination area. If the equipment will not be <br /> immediately reused, store the equipment in an area free of contaminants. <br /> 10.0 Data and Records Management: <br /> To finalize fieldwork documentation in accordance with Antea Group's document control and <br /> retention policies: <br /> • Recheck all data inputs to prevent errors. <br /> • If data were generated from multiple/different sample locations (borings, wells, etc.) at <br /> the same site, use appropriate file naming conventions to distinguish one file from <br /> another(e.g., year month day-what, 20200408_MW-01_MW-15). <br /> • Ensure that any repair work needed, issues to be resolved, and/or any uncompleted <br /> fieldwork are noted in the fieldwork documentation and reported to the PM. <br /> • During the field effort, send photos of field forms to the PM for review at the end of each <br /> day(ultimately at the discretion of the PM). <br /> Scan and upload copies of field notes/forms and all health and safety documents (completed JSA <br /> and HASP) to the designated project folder in SharePoint in Teams (e.g., "Field Notes and <br /> Data/Boring Logs")within 48-72 hours after project completion,unless instructed differently by <br /> the PM. <br /> 11.0 Quality Control: <br /> • All data, observations, calculations must be documented in the field logbook, field forms, <br /> and/or any electronic data recording devices (field computers, digital cameras, etc.). <br /> Control#:AG-20001-00 Page 7 of 8 <br /> File Name:Equipment Decontamination SOP <br />
