3 FIELD SAMPLING PROCEDURES <br /> The following sections provide the field procedures to be utilized during collection of soil <br /> samples from hand auger/direct-push and hollow-stem auger borings, and collection of <br /> groundwater samples from monitoring wells. Example field forms including boring logs, <br /> well development forms, and FSDSs are provided in Appendix A. <br /> 3.1 Soil Sampling <br /> As discussed above, up to three soil samples will be collected from each hand <br /> auger/direct-push boring and seven of the sixteen hollow-stem auger borings. Field <br /> procedures to be utilized during soil sample field screening, soil sample extraction, and <br /> soil and groundwater sample labeling are provided below. <br /> 3.1.1 Soil Sample Field Screening <br /> Soil samples will be collected from all 45 hand auger/direct-push borings and seven of <br /> the sixteen hollow-stem auger borings at approximate depths of 2.5 and 5 feet bgs. The <br /> samples will be collected at each depth using a hand auger sampler lined with a 6-inch <br /> acrylic liner. Upon retrieval of each soil sample, approximately 1 inch of the soil from <br /> each 6-inch liner will be placed in a re-sealable plastic bag, and labeled with the <br /> corresponding sample number for field screening purposes. Following removal of the <br /> material for field screening the acrylic liner will be immediately capped and placed in an <br /> iced cooler. <br /> Soil samples will be collected continuously from 5 feet bgs to 10 feet bgs in all 45 soil <br /> borings utilizing direct-push drilling techniques with acrylic liners installed within the <br /> direct-push boring rods. Upon retrieval from the boring, the acrylic liners will be cut into <br /> two-foot sections. Approximately four inches of each section will be further cut, and the <br /> material from the 4-inch section will be placed in a resealable plastic bag and labeled with <br /> the corresponding sample number. The remaining 20 inches of each acrylic liner will be <br /> immediately capped and placed in an iced cooler. <br /> Soil samples will be collected continuously from 5 feet bgs to 10 feet bgs in seven of the <br /> sixteen hollow-stem auger borings. The samples will be collected using decontaminated <br /> 2-inch diameter split tube samplers lined with 6-inch acrylic liners.
