GRAB GROUND WATER SAMPLING PROCEDURES <br /> The soil boring will be advanced to the top of the ground water table, as identified by collection of <br /> a saturated soil sample, to collect a grab ground water sample. Once ground water has been <br /> encountered, a hydropunch-equivalent water sampling device will be driven two to three feet into <br /> the water-bearing zone.Ground water samples will be collected with a hydropunch-equivalent water <br /> sampling assembly fitted with one-inch diameter 0.010-inch slotted temporary well screen. Each <br /> ground water sample will be extracted by lowering a bailer through the hollow center of the drive <br /> rods and into the screen section.Depending on subsurface and drilling conditions,grab ground water <br /> samples may also be collected directly through the augers using a new disposable bailer. <br /> Ground water samples will be collected into laboratory supplied containers. Ground water samples <br /> forBTEX,TPH-all,and MTBE analyses will be collected into laboratory-supplied,40-m1 VOA vials <br /> containing 0.5-m1 of hydrochloric acid as preservative and 1-liter amber bottles without sample <br /> preservative.Following collection the samples will be appropriately labeled,placed on ice and kept <br /> in a cooler until delivered to the laboratory for analysis. Chain-of-custody protocols will be used to <br /> document sample custody transfer from the field to the analytical laboratory. A chain-of-custody <br /> form will accompany the samples. <br /> 4.4. EQUIPMENT DECONTAMINATION <br /> Prior to use,all sampling tools used for sample collection will be thoroughly rinsed with clean water <br /> after being washed with a solution of Alconox. All probing rods will be cleaned prior to <br /> advancement at each probe boring location. <br /> 4.5. BORING ABANDONMENT <br /> All probe borings will be permanently sealed to prevent vertical migration ofpotential contaminants. <br /> Soil borings shall be abandoned by backfilling with portland cement utilizing a tremie pipe from the <br /> total depth to surface grade. <br /> Advanced GcoEnvironmental,Inc. <br />
