This plan was requested by the California Regional Water <br /> Quality Control Board (Regional Board) in correspondence to Fox River dated March 11, <br /> 2005. Sampling will be done in accordance with Fox River's Waste Discharge Requirements <br /> Order No. 5-01-148. <br /> Sludge Sampling Plan <br /> Fox River personnel will collect one sludge sample annually from the sludge press where <br /> pressed sludge falls onto the conveyor. The sample will be collected in a clean, unused zip <br /> lock bag, the bag properly labeled with the sampler's name and the time and date the sample <br /> was collected. The sample will be stored in a refrigerator with a completed chain-of-custody <br /> form until collected by the analytical laboratory. <br /> J L Analytical Services <br /> J L Analytical Services will take custody of the sample within four hours of the sample's <br /> collection, transport the sample to their laboratory in Modesto, and analyze the sample. <br /> A Deionized Water Waste Extraction Test (DI WET) will be performed on the sample to <br /> characterize the amount of metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that would likely <br /> leach from the sludge under normal conditions. The DI water then will be analyzed for total <br /> cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc by EPA Method 6020 and for the VOCs <br /> acetone and 2-butanone by EPA Method 8260B. <br /> 2001 Market Street - Room 523 - Redding, California 96001 - (530)244-9703 - fax (530)244-5021 - www.lwrnc.com <br />
