Sampling and Analysis Plan Sample Clauses

Sampling and Analysis Plan. The development of a project-specific sampling and analysis plan (SAP) is the next step in the project evaluation process for those projects found to have inadequate information to make a regulatory decision on suitability of dredged material disposal following a Tier I evaluation. The SAP is the main source of information about the proposed dredging project’s sampling design/approach and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) measures associated with sample collection and dredged material analyses. This RIA recommends including all project-specific sampling, testing and QA/QC components in the project SAP. Sampling and testing must be coordinated far enough in advance of dredging to allow time for testing and data review. The guidance document, QA/QC Guidance for Sampling and Analysis of Sediments, Water, and Tissues for Dredged Material Evaluations (EPA/USACE, 1995), and Appendix G of the ITM should be used when preparing a project SAP. Section 8 of both the Green Book and the ITM also address sample collection, however, the guidance provided in the ITM is more technically advanced and should be used as reference for preparing a SAP. The USACE, New Orleans District and Galveston District, and EPA, Region 6 plan to prepare a Dredged Material Evaluation Quality Assurance Plan (QAP), which will address basic QA/QC issues associated with dredged material sampling and evaluations. The QAP will include all general QA/QC information and requirements that apply across all dredging projects including field sampling and clean techniques, laboratory testing, data validation and reporting, and other QA/QC procedures. While basic/general sampling and analysis protocols will be addressed in the QAP, the individual project sampling design and project-specific QA/QC issues should be addressed in the project SAP. Once the QAP is finalized it will be included as an appendix to this RIA. Section 6 of this RIA contains additional information on QA/QC.

Sampling and Analysis Plan. The purpose of the Sampling and Analysis Plan (“SAP”) is to ensure that sampling data collection activities will be consistent with current sampling and analytical methodologies and will be comparable to and compatible with previous EPA and NHDES data collection activities performed at the Site while providing a mechanism for planning and approving field activities. The overall objectives of the SAP are as follows:  Document specific data quality objectives, procedures, and rationales for field work and sample analytical work.  Provide a mechanism for planning and approving Site and laboratory activities.  Ensure that sampling and analysis activities are necessary and sufficient.  Provide a common point of reference to ensure the comparability and compatibility of sampling and analysis activities to meet the stated project objectives. The SAP shall be the framework for anticipated field activities (e.g., sampling objectives, evaluation of existing data, standard operating procedures) and contain specific information on the field work (e.g., sampling locations and rationale, sample numbers and rationale, analyses of samples). During the SRI/FS, the SAP shall be revised as necessary to cover each round of field or laboratory activities. The SAP consists of two parts: (1) a QAPP, and (2) a FSP. The QAPP shall follow the requirements in QA/R-5 and the Region I, EPA-New England Compendium of Quality Assurance Project Plan Requirements and Guidance. The FSP will contain the standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) and other documentation to support specific sections of the QAPP. In some cases where there are unique FSP components for special applications, they will be added to the QAPP in the appropriate sections. In addition, the FSP and QAPP should be submitted as a single document (although they may be bound separately to facilitate use of the FSP in the field). The SAP shall include provisions for notifying EPA and NHDES a minimum of three weeks before initiation of each field sampling or monitoring activity. The SAP shall also provide for split, replicate, or duplicate samples to be taken by EPA, NHDES (or their contractor personnel or other government agencies working with EPA). At the request of EPA or NHDES, Respondents shall provide these samples in appropriate containers to the government representatives. Identical procedures shall be used to collect such samples, unless otherwise specified by EPA or NHDES. In the event that, following good-faith sam...

Sampling and Analysis Plan. Under Task 4.1, Anchor QEA would update and revise the previously prepared Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) for sample collection and analytical testing of dredged sediments. The SAP would be prepared in accordance with the following documents: • Evaluation of Dredged Material Proposed for Discharge in Waters of the U.S. – Testing Manual (ITM) • PN 01-01: Guidelines for Implementing the Inland Testing Manual in the San Francisco Bay Region • Beneficial Reuse of Dredged Materials: Sediment Screening and Testing Guidelines The SAP will detail the sampling and analysis methods to be followed during field sample collection and laboratory analyses to determine sediment suitability for SF-9 and Montezuma. An electronic draft SAP will be submitted to the City for review, and one round of review with minimal revisions is anticipated. Hard copies of the final SAP will be produced and distributed to the DMMO agencies and the City. Prior to sampling, approval of the SAP will be requested at a DMMO meeting. As part of Xxxx 0.0, Xxxxxx XXX will also develop a Health and Safety Plan that will provide background information, emergency phone numbers, route to nearest hospital, potential chemicals of concern, personal protective equipment requirements, key personnel responsibilities, and health and safety procedures.
