ARCADIS SOP: Soil Drilling and Sample Collection 2 Rev.#: 2 1 Rev Date: March 8,2011 I. Scope and Application Overburden drilling is commonly performed using the hollow-stem auger drilling method. Other drilling methods suitable for overburden drilling, which are sometimes necessary due to site-specific geologic conditions, include: drive-and-wash, spun casing, Rotasonic, dual-rotary(Barber Rig), and fluid/mud rotary. Direct-push techniques (e.g., Geoprobe or cone penetrometer) may also be used. The drilling method to be used at a given site will be selected based on site-specific consideration of anticipated drilling depths, site or regional geologic knowledge, types of sampling to be conducted, required sample quality and volume, and cost. No oils or grease will be used on equipment introduced into the boring (e.g., drill rod, casing, or sampling tools). II. Personnel Qualifications The Project Manager(a qualified geologist, environmental scientist, or engineer)will identify the appropriate soil boring locations, depth and soil sample intervals in a written plan. Personnel responsible for overseeing drilling operations must have at least 16 hours of prior training overseeing drilling activities with an experienced geologist, environmental scientist, or engineer with at least 2 years of prior experience. III. Equipment List The following materials will be available during soil boring and sampling activities, as required: • Site Plan with proposed soil boring/well locations; • Work Plan or Field Sampling Plan (FSP), and site Health and Safety Plan (HASP); • personal protective equipment(PPE), as required by the HASP; • drilling equipment required by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D 1586, when performing split-spoon sampling; • disposable plastic liners, when drilling with direct-push equipment; • appropriate soil sampling equipment(e.g., stainless steel spatulas, knife);
