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...

Related to Sampling and Analysis Plan

  • Sampling and Analysis The sampling and analysis of the coal shall be performed by Seller upon loading of the coal, and the results thereof shall be accepted and used as defining the quality and characteristics of the coal under this Agreement and as the Payment Analysis. All analyses shall be made in Seller’s laboratory at Seller’s expense in accordance with ASTM standards where applicable, or industry-accepted standards in other cases. Samples for analyses shall be taken in accordance with ASTM standards or other methods mutually acceptable to both parties. Seller shall transmit its quality analysis to Buyer as soon as possible. Each sample taken by Seller shall be divided into four (4) parts and put into airtight containers, properly labeled and sealed. One (1) part shall be used for analysis by Seller. One (1) part shall be used by Seller as a check sample, if Seller in its sole judgment determines it is necessary. One (1) part shall be retained by Seller until thirty (30) days after the sample is taken (“Disposal Date”), and shall be delivered to Buyer for analysis if Buyer so requests before the Disposal Date. One (1) part (the “Referee Sample”) shall be retained by Seller until the Disposal Date. Buyer, on reasonable notice to Seller, shall have the right to have a representative present to observe the sampling and analyses performed by Seller. Unless Buyer requests an analysis of the Referee Sample before the Disposal Date, Seller’s analysis shall be used to determine the quality of the coal under this Agreement and shall be the Payment Analysis. The Monthly Weighted Averages of specifications referenced in §6.1 shall be based on the individual Shipment analyses. If any dispute arises with regard to the analysis of any sample before the Disposal Date for such sample, the Referee Sample retained by Seller shall be submitted for analysis to an independent commercial testing laboratory (“Independent Lab”) mutually chosen by Buyer and Seller. For each coal quality specification in question, if the analysis of the Independent Lab differs by more than the applicable ASTM reproducibility standards, the Independent Lab results will govern, and the prior analysis shall be disregarded. All testing of the Referee Sample by the Independent Lab shall be at requestor’s expense unless the Independent Lab results differ from the original Payment Analysis for any specification by more than the applicable ASTM reproducibility standards as to that specification. In such case, the cost of the analysis made by the Independent Lab shall be borne by the party who provided the original Payment Analysis.

  • Certain Calculations and Tests (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, when calculating any applicable ratio or determining other compliance with this Agreement (including the determination of compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom) in connection with a Specified Transaction undertaken in connection with the consummation of a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of such ratio and determination of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom or other applicable covenant shall, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”) and if, after such ratios and other provisions are measured on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other Specified Transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the four consecutive fiscal quarter period being used to calculate such financial ratio ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratios and provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder and (y) such ratios and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related Specified Transactions. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated; provided, that (other than solely with respect to the incurrence test under which such Limited Condition Acquisition is being made) Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Total Assets or assets and Consolidated Net Income of any target of such Limited Condition Acquisition can only be used in the determination of the relevant ratio and baskets if and when such Limited Condition Acquisition has closed.
