Sample Collection and Analysis. Sample Collection Procedures Sample collection shall be performed by trained personnel employed by NC DWR-certified laboratories in accordance with the DWR Monitoring Coalition Program Field Monitoring Guidance Document (November 2017) and subsequent documents. The Field Monitoring Guidance Document can be found on the web at: xxxx://xxx.xx.xxx/about/divisions/water-resources/water-resources-data/water-sciences- home-page/ecosystems-branch/monitoring-coalition-program. Alternate collection procedures require the approval of the DWR Coalition Coordinator prior to use.
Sample Collection and Analysis. Effluent sampling shall be conducted under Normal operating conditions. Effluent samples shall be collected in accordance with Environment Canada’s “Sampling for Bisphenol A (CAS number 80-05-7) in Influents and Effluents from Pulp and Paper Xxxxx that Recycle Waste Paper, revised December 6, 2011”, unless a laboratory specifies a different acceptable sampling protocol. Analytical testing for BPA to evaluate whether the performance objectives in section 5.0 have been met shall be done in accordance with generally accepted standards of good scientific practice at the time of the sampling using documented and validated methods, and shall be performed by a laboratory that is accredited by a Canadian accrediting body under the International Organization for Standardization standard ISO/IEC 17025 entitled General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories, as amended from time to time.
Sample Collection and Analysis. Sample Collection Procedures Sample collection shall be performed by trained personnel with NC DWQ certified laboratories in accordance with the DWQ NPDES Discharge Monitoring Coalition Program Field Monitoring Guidance Document (May 2008) and subsequent documents. Alternate collection procedures may be considered if reported to and approved by the DWQ Coalition Coordinator(s) prior to use. Any approved alternate sampling procedures will be documented in writing by the LCFRP. Laboratory Analysis All laboratory analyses shall be performed at a DWQ certified laboratory using approved methods as prescribed by 40 CFR, part 136 or other methods certified by the DWQ Laboratory Certification Branch (xxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx/web/wq/lab/cert), or the Director of DWQ. Section 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations part 136 (40CFR136) can be accessed on the web at the following address: xxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx/web/wq/lab/cert/nonfield/rules. Reporting levels will be at least as stringent as the target reporting levels used by the DWQ Laboratory. For guidance purposes, Table B-1 lists target reporting levels for each parameter based on the reporting levels of the DWQ Laboratory. The lowest possible analytical limits for all the parameters should be pursued. Table B-1 DWQ Laboratory Reporting Limits Parameters Target Reporting Level Comments Temperature Resolution to 0.1 degree Celsius Dissolved Oxygen Report results to the nearest 0.1 mg/l. pH Meters should be calibrated to measure a pH range of at least 4.01 to 9.18. Report results to the nearest 0.1 pH units. Specific Conductivity Report results to the nearest whole µS/cm at 25 ºC. Table B-1 Continued - DWQ Laboratory Reporting Limits and Methods Parameters Target Reporting Level Comments Turbidity 1.0 NTU TSS 6.2 mg/L Entercocci Fecal Coliform 1 colony/100 mL At least 3 dilutions should be used to achieve optimum colony counts per membrane filter of 20- 60 colonies.

Sample Collection and Analysis. Biobot agrees to deliver to Customer the wastewater collection protocols and Equipment (as defined below) as specified in the applicable SOW. Customer agrees to collect and provide wastewater samples from Customer’s wastewater treatment facilities or other agreed upon locations in the amounts, on the schedule, and in the containers specified in the applicable SOW. Customer agrees to collect the samples in accordance with all applicable laws and in the manner reasonably directed by Xxxxxx, including using any equipment and kits Biobot provides or directs Customer to use (collectively, “Equipment”). Biobot may retain duplicates of all samples received from Customer as backup samples and for Biobot’s internal research and development purposes. Customer acknowledges that Biobot is unable to return any wastewater samples or duplicates to Customer. Subject to Biobot receiving samples from Customer in accordance with the specifications and on the schedule described in the applicable SOW, Biobot will analyze the samples and provide reports (the “Reports”) as specified in the applicable SOW.
Sample Collection and Analysis. Based on each agency’s Aquatic Pesticide Application Plan (APAP) and Notice of Intent (NOI), the Contractor will collect and submit surface water quality samples according to the permit requirements. Field measurements such as pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity will be collected as well. Samples will be properly preserved and labeled under chain of custody procedures specific to the analytical laboratory. The Contractor will review the quality of the data and provide a brief summary for the annual report to the SWRCB and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).
