Appendix A <br />SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PROCEDURES <br />Ground -water monitoring program sampling and analytical procedures for <br />the Landfill Development Site are contained in this appendix. The <br />procedures, in accordance with Sections 2500 through 2601 of Subchap- <br />ter 15, are recommended so that consistent and reproducible methods <br />are used to obtain samples from monitoring wells and that proper <br />analyses are performed on the samples. The sampling and analysis <br />procedures used are based primarily on <br />• Procedures Manual for Ground -Water Monitoring at Solid <br />Waste Disposal Facilities (U.S. EPA, EPA-530/SW-611, <br />August 1977) <br />• Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste: Physical[ <br />Chemical Methods (U.S. EPA, EPA SW -846, 3rd edition, <br />Awkk <br />0 November 1986) <br />SAMPLE COLLECTION <br />Sample collection procedures include equipment cleaning, water -level <br />and total well depth measurements, well purging, sampling, and sample <br />preservation and shipment. <br />Sample bottles, bottle caps, and septa for use in sampling for vola- <br />tile organics will be thoroughly washed with detergent, rinsed exten- <br />sively with tap water, and then rinsed again with high purity deion- <br />ized water. After washing and rinsing, sample bottles and bottle caps <br />will be dried overnight at a temperature of 150•C. <br />Sample <br />bottles, <br />bottle caps, and septa will <br />be protected from all <br />forms <br />of solvent <br />contact between the time of <br />drying and actual usage <br />
