Amber glass and polyethylene bottles will be filled to the <br /> bottle neck. Samples collected in 40-m1 VOA vials will be <br /> filled to overflowing with a positive meniscus. The vials <br /> will be sealed with a teflon-lined screw cap such that no <br /> head space exists within the vial. <br /> 2 .0 Sample Containers <br /> Soil and groundwater samples will be placed in containers <br /> supplied by the analytical laboratory. Table 1 summarizes <br /> the required sample containers. <br /> Soil samples will be collected in 8-once widemouth clear <br /> glass jars. Screw on caps will be fitted with teflon <br /> liners. <br /> 3 . 0 Quality Control Field Samples <br /> A QC program independent from the laboratory' s program will <br /> be instituted. The program entails "blind" submittals to <br /> the laboratory of blank and duplicate samples. No spiked <br /> samples will be supplied from the field for this <br /> investigation. The laboratory in-house QC program will <br /> include analysis of spiked samples. All QC samples will be <br /> assigned independent sample numbers and made <br /> indistinguishable from non QC samples. <br /> When sampling groundwater, travel blanks will be used to <br /> detect the introduction of contaminants during <br /> transportation from the field to the laboratory. The travel <br /> blanks will be provided by the analytical laboratory. They <br /> will be taken to the field and accompany the collected <br /> groundwater samples to the laboratory for analysis. The <br /> blanks will consist of de-ionized water and analytically <br /> confirmed organic-free water . The blank is numbered, <br /> packaged, and sealed in the same manner as the other <br /> samples. <br /> Ten percent of each sample type submitted to the laboratory <br /> for analysis will be duplicates. Soil duplicates will be <br /> collected using the procedure described in the Soil Sampling <br /> Protocol. Water sample duplicates will be created by <br /> filling two sample bottles from the well bailer. If more <br /> than one bailer volume is required, each bailer volume will <br /> be split between containers. <br /> 4. 0 Sample Preservation <br /> Sample containers will be pre-cooled and transported to the <br /> site in the cooler. All samples will be preserved as <br /> indicated on Table 1 and placed in a cooler immediately <br /> after collection. Chemical ice will be used in the cooler <br /> to cool and maintain samples at a temperature of 4°C. A <br /> high-low thermometer will accompany the samples to document <br /> transport conditions. <br />
