Decontamination of Soil and Groundwater Sampling Equipment Sample Clauses

Decontamination of Soil and Groundwater Sampling Equipment. All downhole drilling rods and casing for advancement of soil borings and installation of monitoring xxxxx will be decontaminated before work begins and between sampling locations. The equipment will be decontaminated following the general practices in SOP 002. As specified in SOP 002, a portable steam cleaner or pressure washer and an on-site source of potable water will be used for decontamination. All water derived from decontamination will be collected and temporarily stored in Department of Transportation (DOT)-approved, 55-gallon drums or polyethylene tanks on site for characterization. Downhole equipment used for soil and VAS or grab groundwater sampling will be steam cleaned before work begins and between sampling locations in accordance with Section 2.3 of SOP 002. It should be noted that soil cores will be collected using a MacroCore sampler and disposable Lexan or acetate sleeves; therefore, the MacroCore barrel will not be in direct contact with soil samples and pressure spraying or hand washing may be substituted for steam cleaning. VAS and grab groundwater samples will be collected using Geoprobe manufactured groundwater sampling systems (such as the SP 15/16 Groundwater Sampler or the DT 21 Profiler). The VAS groundwater sampling system will be steam cleaned between sampling locations to prevent cross contamination and decontaminated as described below between samples. Exact decontamination procedures for the push ahead and packer assemblies for the VAS program will be contractor specific but will include cleaning with an alconox-tap water solution followed by a distilled water rinse, Dedicated disposable equipment, such as tubing for groundwater sampling will be used whenever possible to minimize the need for decontamination. All water derived from decontamination will be collected and temporarily stored in DOT-approved, 55-gallon drums or polyethylene tanks on site for characterization. To prevent cross contamination, measuring and sampling equipment will be decontaminated before sample collection begins and between each two consecutive sampling locations. If stainless steel bowls and spoons will be used, they will be used for one discrete sample and will then require decontamination. Per the “general sampling equipment decontamination” guidelines established in Section 2.5 of SOP 002, stainless steel sampling equipment will be decontaminated using a three tier process including an Alconox or Liquinox wash, a potable water rinse, and a dis...
