rk" KLEINFELDER <br /> APPENDIX B <br /> TYPICAL KLEINFELDER FIELD PROTOCOL <br /> 1 <br /> B-1 FIELD PREPARATION <br /> Before performing work in the field, environmental staff reviews the scope of work, prepares a <br /> health and safety plan, coordinates the work to be done with their supervisor, assembles the <br /> necessary sample equipment containers, and checks, calibrates and cleans equipment to be used <br />' in the field Underground Service Alert (USA) is also contacted prior to field work with the <br /> marked boring locations and the scheduled date of drilling, in addition, a utility locating firm is <br /> sometimes employed to check the boring locations <br /> B-2 DRILLING AND SUBSURFACE SOIL SAMPLING <br /> B-2I Drillin <br />' Soil borings are advanced using a truck-mounted drill rig, equipped with hollow stem augers <br /> Subsurface soil samples are collected from the soil borings While drilling, an experienced <br /> environmental geologist classifies the soil, logs the stratigiaphy of the borings, and collects soil <br /> samples <br /> B-2.2 Oualitative Field Screenin;; <br /> An vaporor anic detector, such as a Photovac TIP, using a photo-ionization detector (PID) or a <br /> g <br /> Foxboro flame-ionization detector (FID), is used to provide a qualitative screening of each soil <br /> sample collected from the borings The organic vapor detector measures ionizable compounds in <br /> the air in parts per million by volume (ppmv) Field calibration is performed using a calibrated <br /> span gas such as 100-ppm isobutylene Ambient air is used to set the instrument to zero The <br /> soil contained in the cone of the sampler or in a brass tube is exposed and screened with the <br /> organic vapor detector The vapor reading is noted as the field screening result <br />' For the protection of the drilling crew, the organic vapor detector also is used to measure the <br /> volatile concentrations in the breathing zone prior to and while drilling the borings Total <br /> ionizable hydrocarbon readings in excess of 1 ppmv may necessitate respiratory protection for <br /> the affected crew members This requirement is included in the complete field health and safety <br /> plan developed for the project prior to the start of field work <br /> i <br /> • <br /> 20-1417-16 E01/2019R338 Page B-1 <br /> ©1999 Kleinfeider, Inc May 12, 1999 <br />.r <br />
