GROUND ZERO ANALYSIS, INC. Quality Control/Quality Assurance Plan <br />evidence. Where several types of analysis will be performed for a given well, individual samples <br />will be collected in the following order: <br />Volatile organics <br />Purgeable organic hydrocarbons <br />Purgeable organic halogens <br />Total organic hydrocarbons <br />Total organic halogens <br />Extractable organics <br />Total metals <br />Dissolved metals <br />Phenols <br />Cyanide <br />The specific analytical methods to be utilized for the common volatile/semivolatile analyses are <br />shown on Table 2. <br />Groundwater samples will be collected with a Teflon bailer with bottom emptying device. <br />Duplicate samples will be transferred to vials or containers that meet Regulatory Agency <br />specifications (Table 1). Groundwater from the bailer will be transferred to the sample container by <br />allowing the fluid to flow slowly along the sides of the vessel. All containers will be filled above <br />the top of the opening to form a positive meniscus. No head space should be present in the sample <br />container once it is sealed. After the vial is capped it will be inverted to check for air bubbles. If <br />bubbles are present the sample will be discarded and replaced. If it is not possible to collect a <br />sample without head space, the problem will be noted on the field technician's sampling log. <br />Immediately following sample collection, samples will be labeled and stored in an ice chest <br />containing frozen chemical ice sealed in plastic bags. Sample labels will contain the following <br />information: date, time, project ID, sample ID, and name of sampler and type of analysis. All <br />samples will be transported under chain of custody protocol to a state certified laboratory within 24 <br />hours. A sample container filled in the laboratory with organic free water and carried unopened <br />during the sampling trip will also be provided (Trip Blank). A "high-low" temperature recording <br />thermometer will accompany sample shipments to ensure proper sample temperature maintenance. <br />Samples will be transported either by GZA personnel or by private courier. Analytical holding <br />times will be considered in determining sampling and shipping schedules. Friday <br />shipment/Saturday laboratory receipt of samples will be coordinated in advance with the laboratory. <br />GAData\GROUNDZEGOEMAN ACAMPO\REPORTS \QAQC.doc <br />8
