chemical, orradiological analysis whensuchsampling isperformed atshallow depths (usually less thanonemeterindepth).

2.2 Soil SampleCollection Soil samples will becollected atstations asstipulated in Activity Plans.

Surface soil sampling will beperformed inaccordance withprocedure EPM-SAP-101, "Surface Soil Sampling" 2.3 Sediment SampleCollection Sediment samples will becollected atstations asstipulated inActivity Plans.Sediment sampling will beperformed inaccordance withprocedure EPM-SAP-102, "Sediment Sampling" 2.4 Surface WaterSampleCollection Surface watersamples will becollected atstations asstipulated inActivityPlans inaccordance with procedure EPM-SAP-103, "Surface WaterSampling" Because ofthe potential for interference fromsuspended

solids, algae andother biological

activity, all surface water samples foroff-site radiological analyses arefield filtered using a0.45micron filter.

Ifthelabhasprovided apre-preserved

bottle, thefiltered sample isdeposited directly tothe bottle.

Ifthebottle isnotpre-preserved, addasufficient volume ofacid (typically, 2-10ml per liter ofsample) tolower thefiltered sample toapH<2.

Thedecision tofilter surface watersamples forall other analyses isdependent uponwhether theobjective istoanalyze fortotal (unfiltered) ordissolved (filtered) constituents, andmustbe specified intheActivity Plan.

2.5 Vegetation SampleCollection Vegetation samples arenotanticipated tobecollected onthis site because oftheamountof decommissioning activities thathavealready occurred.

Theprocedure isincluded inthis SAP forcompleteness only.

Ifrequired, vegetation samples will becollected inaccordance with procedure EPM-SAP-105 "Vegetation Sampling".

SUBSURFACE SAMPLINGPae3-1 3.0SUBSURFACE SAMPLING 3.1 Introduction Subsurface sampling includes anysampling

ofsoil, waste, orimpacted soil forgeotechnical,

chemical, orradiological analysis when such sampling isperformed atdepths usually greater thanonemeter.Prior toperforming direct

push, excavation, ordrilling, precautions shall be taken toavoid damaging utilities orpipelines.

Clearance forall utilities shall bedoneprior to performing these tasks bycontacting appropriate agencies (Call Okie1-800-522-OKIE).

3.2 Direct Push Direct pushsampling utilizes ahydraulically powered machine toadvanceprobes intothe subsurface.

Direct pushsampling features minimal setuptime andlittle generated waste.

Direct pushmethods maybeusedtocollect subsurface samples and/or groundwater

samples, toscreen soil orgroundwater, and/or toinstall temporary piezometers.

Whenperforming direct pushsampling forgroundwater orgeologic/hydrologic investigations andlithologic information

isneeded, ageologist orhydro-geologist must log thelithologyofthe boring.

Samples taken forother

purposes, e.g.,

radiological characterization, confirmatory

samples, etc.neednotnecessarily bedescribed.

Whenlogging isdetermined to benecessary, lithologic descriptions (in accordance with ASTMD2488),

soil classifications, soil sample locations, field screening measurements, andother observations madeintheprocess of performing theboring should berecorded onthesoil boring log(form QAIP 9.1-4 orapproved equivalent) asdescribed ontheform.Sample collection and/or screening mustbeperformed inaccordance with procedure EPM-SAP-106, "Direct PushSoil Sampling",

Decontamination of sampling tools mustbeperformed inaccordance withSection 7.0, Decontamination, and documented inthefield logbook.

3.3 Excavation Excavating equipment (i.e.

backhoes andtrackhoes) canbeusedtoexamine nearsurface soils.

Excavation isbeneficial fordetermining geologic contacts andidentifying thepresence of contamination,

faulting, andforcollecting subsurface samples forgeotechnical applications.

Whenperforming excavations forgroundwater orgeologic/hydrologic investigations and lithologic information

isneeded, ageologist orhydro-geologist mustlogthelithology ofthe trench orpit.(Exception:

quarterly surface watersample points sometimes needtobe obtained fromareas which silt in,requiring that small excavated collection basins becreated.

Suchcollection basins donotneedtobelogged).

Lithologic descriptions should beprovided on thesoil boring log(form QAIP 9.1-4 orapproved equivalent) with

3.4 Drilling This section covers subsurface investigations that involve theuseofadrilling rigorpower auger.

Groundwater monitoring well installation and abandonment requires drilling methods in allbuttheshallowest zones.

Whendrilling forgroundwater orgeologic/hydrologic investigations andlithologicinformation is

needed, ageologist orhydrogeologist mustlogthelithology ofthe boring.

Text, photographs, andillustrations maybeusedtoprovide detailed lithologic descriptions (in accordance with ASTMD2488).

Soil classifications, blowcount information, samplelocations, field screening measurements, andother observations madeintheprocess ofperforming the boringshould be recorded onthesoil boring log(form QAIP 9.1-4 orapproved equivalent)as described onthe form.Sample collection and/or screening mustbeperformed inaccordancewith procedure EPM-SAP-109, "Drilling Subsurface Soil andBedrock Sampling" Decontamination ofsampling tools mustbeinaccordance withSection 7.0, "Decontamination",

3.4.1AugerDrilling Augerdrilling doesnotnormally require theuseofdrilling fluids.

Solid augers canbeused whenprecise depth ofthesample isnotimportant andwhenundisturbed samples arenot needed.

Hollow stemaugers canbeusedwhenrelatively undisturbed samples areneeded, and whenthedepth ofasoil sample within aboring isimportant.

Samples canbeobtained through hollow stemaugers bysplit-barrel samplers (in accordance with ASTMD1586),

bythin-walled Shelby tubes(in accordance with ASTMD1587),

Onnewly installed monitoring wells andpiezometers, development mustbeperformed oroverseen byaqualified hydrogeologist.

Afield technician, under thedirection ofaqualified hydrogeologist can perform theredevelopment ofolder wells.

4.3 In-Situ Permeability Testing Thehydraulic conductivity ofaformation canbedetermined byin-situ permeability testing.In-situ permeability tests canbebroadly classified asslug tests andpumptests.

problems, ormatrix interferences.

TheActivity Plan will identify theneedtocollect QA/QC samples priortoinitiating sampling activities.

Thefour categories ofQA/QC samples addressed inthis SAP are:

duplicates,matrix spike/matrix spike duplicates, rinsate

blanks, andtripand/or fieldblanks.

Eachsampling Activity Plan should be developed with input fromthesite technical teamor personnel withsimilar expertise, andmust specify anyrequired collection ofQA/QC samples based ondataquality objectives andthe intended useofthedata.

5.2 Duplicates Duplicate samples identify therelative precision ofmultiple analyses ofthesamematerial.

Duplicates determine thedegree towhich datagenerated from repetitive measurements differ fromoneanother, andarerequested whentheactivity supervisor needs toknowthepotential forerror inanalyzing aparticular media(e.g.,

soil, groundwater, etc).With regard tothe groundwater monitoring program andthelonghistory ofsite monitoring,duplicates arenot always obtained during routine groundwater monitoring events.

Thesite hydrologist is responsible fordetermining whether duplicate samples mayberequired for "non-routine" sampling events.

Ifdetermined tobenecessary, aduplicate sample will becollected atafrequency indicated in theActivity Plan (typically, oneduplicate forevery tensamples submitted for laboratory analysis Duplicate samples will becollected insuchamanner astominimize thepotential for variance between the"sample" andthe"duplicate" Duplicates maybeidentified insuchamanner that thelaboratory doesnotknowwhich sample isbeing duplicated.

Samples with ahighlevel ofcontamination usually exhibit little tono recovery ofspiked

compound, making such samples useless forQA/QC purposes.

Thesubmittal ofMS/MSD samples tothe lab bytheCimarronSite isnoted ontheChain of Custody Form.

5.4 Equipment Rinsate Blanks Anequipment rinsate blank isasample ofdistilled (analyte-free) waterrunover(or through) thesamedecontaminated equipment usedtocollect the sample.

Equipmentrinsate blanks do notevaluate thematerial being

Equipment rinsate blanks identify cross contamination ofsamples duetosampling(or decontamination) methods.

Suchblanks aretypically analyzed forthesameparameters asthe collected watersamples.

Withtheextended site history onsample collection andnoevidence that decontamination has beenaproblem inthepast, equipment rinsate blanks arenotnormally collected.

Ifequipment rinsate blanks aredetermined tobeneeded based onthedataquality objectives and intended useofthedata, theactivity supervisor will specify thefrequency atwhich theywill beobtained.

5.5 TripandField Blanks Tripblanks areprepared bythelaboratory andaccompany sample containers transported to thesite.

Tripblanks remain onsite un-opened during sampling activities.

Tripblanks areused toidentify problems associated withsample

handling, packaging anddelivery.

Onetrip blank will besubmitted foreachcooler that contains sample containers shipped overnight tothe laboratory.

Field blanks areprepared bysite personnel andaccompany sample containers transported to thelaboratory.

Field blanks aresimilar totrip blanks inthat theyidentify problems associated withsample

handling, packaging, anddelivery.

Field blanks aresamples ofdistilled water poured into sample containers bysampling personnel.

TheActivity Planmayspecify theuseof field blanks whensample bottles aretaken fromsite inventory (ordinarily thecontract lab supplies sample bottles andrarely wouldfield blanks beobtained).

Whentaken, onefield blank will typically besubmitted tothelaboratory eachdaysampling isperformed.

DECONTAMINATION Pae7-1 7.0DECONTAMINATION Except whendedicated equipmentis used, sampling equipment mustbedecontaminated between samples toprevent contamination ofsucceeding samples.

Equipment rinsate blanks aidindetermining theadequacy ofdecontamination procedures, butonlyprovide information "after thefact" Thefollowing questions should provide thebasis fordeveloping appropriate decontamination methods:

1.Forwhatpurposes arethesamples beingcollected andhowimportant isthedata?

2.Could somedegree ofcross-contamination ofsamples beaproblem?

3.Whatdecontamination methods will prevent what degree ofcross-contamination?

Asageneral

rule, decontamination ofsampling equipment for radiological analyses requires onlyphysical cleaning ofsampling equipment between samples (e.g.

wipes orpressure washing with clean water).

Whenusing sampling equipment forchemical analyses, decontamination generally requires scrubbing with adetergent andtriple rinsing with distilledor deionized water.

ASTMStandard

D5088, "Standard Practice forDecontamination ofField Equipment Used at Nonradioactive WasteSites",

andASTMStandard

D5608, "Standard Practice for Decontamination ofField Equipment UsedatLowLevel Radioactive WasteSites" maybe used asguidance fordeveloping appropriate decontamination methods.

Inlieu ofother specific decontamination procedures, sampling personnel will follow procedure EPM-SAP-107, "Sampling Equipment Decontamination" NOTE:Therequirements ofthis section pertain todecontamination requirements toprevent cross-contamination ofsamples.

Additional requirements mayapply forradiological decontamination ofequipment inaccordance withtherequirements oftheRadiation Protection Plan andasdirected bytheRadiation Safety Officer (RSO) ordesignee.

DOCUMENTATION Pae8-1 8.0DOCUMENTATION 8.1 Field andFacility Sample Logbook/Field Parameter Forms Itisimportant todevelop

thorough, narrative descriptions ofcollected samples aswell asthe conditions surrounding thesampling event.

Should therelevance oradequacy ofthedatacome into question inthefuture, notes recordedin field orfacilitylogbooks andfield parameter forms mayprovide theneeded information tojustifyor disqualify databothforitsintended useand other purposes forwhich itsadequacy maybeinquestion.

Field orfacility (sample) logbooks andfield parameter forms also provide verification that work plans werefollowed andstation nameswereappropriately assigned.

Theindividuals collecting thesamples shall enter information in both afield andfacility (sample) logbook orfield parameter forms.

Sampling personnel maintain field logbooks and field parameter

forms, whereas facility personnel maintain facility(sample) logbooksatthesite.

Thefacility logbook consists ofa3-ring binder inwhich field notes are kept.

Alternatively, complete records ofthesampling eventmaybemaintained withthe Activity Plan. The logbooks contain sufficient information suchthat sampling conditions andactivities canbe reconstructed without reliance uponmemory.Logbook entries arewritten on a per-sample or per-event basis based onthetypeofinformation.

Forinstance, ifnumerous groundwater samples arecollected forthesamesetofanalyses onthesameday, analytical parameters could belisted onetimeforthesampling

event, butwell-specific information wouldbe listed persample.

Information that might beincluded inthelogbooks

includes, butisnotlimited to:

Dateandtimeofsample collection Sample station name Interval anddepth

ofsample, ifapplicable Field measurements (e.g.,

pH,conductivity, temperature, dissolved

oxygen, oxidation/reduction potential, etc) orobservations Variances fromtheworkplanforthesampling event Waterlevel andtotal depthmeasurements, ifapplicable Wellpurging volume andtechnique, ifapplicable Allentries aremadeinindelible

ink, signed, anddated.

Ifanincorrect entry ismade,the information iscrossed outwith asingle strike markinitialed anddated bytherecorder.

Thesite hydrologist orassigned project manager mustapprove all variances fromtheworkplan.
