L <br /> be verification of the presence or absence of hydrocarbons <br /> Grab Groundwater Sampling <br /> Grab samples of groundwater are collected from the boring using a parastaltic pump or micro-bailer With <br /> the parastaltic pump, new Tygone tubing is placed in the pump prior to collection of each sample The <br /> tubing is lowered into the boring through the GeoProbe equipment after groundwater has been allowed to <br /> collect The parastaltic pump is used to evacuate water from the boring where it is discharged to laboratory- <br /> supplied containers appropriate for the anticipated analyses With the micro-bailer, the cleaned bailer is <br /> lowered through the GeoProbe equipment into the groundwater The bailer is allowed to fill,then is brought <br /> to the surface where the water is decanted into the sample container The micro-bailer may also consist of <br /> a clean piece of tubing with a check valve at the bottom The tubing is pumped up and down to bring the <br /> water sample to the surface and discharge the sample to the appropriate container <br /> Following collection of the groundwater sample, the sample bottles are then labeled and placed in chilled <br /> storage for transport to the analytical laboratory A chain-of-custody form is initiated in the field and <br /> accompanies the groundwater samples to the analytical laboratory <br /> Soil Vapor Sampling <br /> Soil vapor samples are collected by advancing the GeoprobeO to a discrete depth Once the desired depth <br /> is attained, a VA-inch polyethylene tubing is threaded through the inside diameter of the drive rods and <br /> connected either to a tedlar bag or summa canister The bottom portion of the drive rod is retracted and a <br /> vacuum is induced to purge a soil vapor sample Used tubing is discarded after each sample <br /> A-2 <br />
