SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS Clause Samples
The "Sampling and Analysis Requirements" clause sets out the standards and procedures for collecting and testing samples, typically of materials, products, or environmental substances, to ensure compliance with specified criteria. It details how samples should be taken, the frequency of sampling, the methods of analysis to be used, and the qualifications of laboratories or personnel conducting the tests. By establishing clear protocols for sampling and analysis, this clause ensures reliable, consistent results and helps prevent disputes over quality or regulatory compliance.
SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS. The sampling of Slurry used to meet the requirements of these Minimum Standards shall be done in accordance with the following:
a. Prior to the District accepting delivery of the first load of Slurry, COMPANY shall provide the District with two (2) 1-liter Slurry samples that are comprised of material that is representative of COMPANY’s feedstock source. The sample will be tested at the District’s laboratory for compliance with these Minimum Standards. The Parties acknowledge that they have determined to enter into this Agreement based upon favorable laboratory results of such sample tests.
b. For each load of Slurry delivered to the JWPCP, COMPANY shall take a sample from the hauler’s tanker prior to leaving its Slurry processing facility. COMPANY shall test the sample for pH and electrical conductivity at the processing facility and include the results on the Food Waste Slurry Manifest slip (Manifest). The driver shall give the sample and completed Manifest to the District’s attendant. If COMPANY is unable to test the sample collected at the processing facility, the driver will only be allowed to deliver Slurry when an attendant is stationed at the LWDS between the hours of 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM. The attendant will test the sample for pH and electrical conductivity, record the data and label the sample bottle with the sample date and a delivery manifest number.
c. The District’s attendant will store the sample in a refrigerator for further analysis. The District shall analyze two random Slurry loads per week for TS, VS and COD and test the Slurry from time to time, at the District’s expense, to confirm that the Slurry meets all of the Minimum Standards requirements.
d. COMPANY must notify the District in advance of any material change in composition or source of the feedstock for the Slurry and obtain written approval from the District’s Chief Engineer and General Manager before delivering Slurry with different characteristics to the JWPCP.

6. Water at Station Number 1645-14 shall be sampled every six (6) days during periods of discharge to Lac de Gras, and analyzed for the following: Total Arsenic Nutrients5 Dissolved Organic Carbon Total Mercury Dissolved Oxygen Total Organic Carbon Field Parameters3 Total Suspended Solids ICP-MS Metal Scan1 (Total and Dissolved) Major Ions2 Turbidity pH4
7. During periods of discharge, effluent at Station Number 1645-15 shall be sampled monthly, and analyzed for the following: Volume Percent solids
8. Water at Station Number 1645-16 shall be sampled monthly and analyzed for the following parameters: Total Arsenic Nutrients5 Dissolved Organic Carbon Turbidity Dissolved Oxygen Total Mercury Field Parameters3 Total Organic Carbon ICP-MS Metal Scan1 (Total and Dissolved) Major Ions2 Total Suspended Solids pH4
9. Water at Station Number 1645-17 shall be sampled during discharge to Lac de Gras:
a) every six (6) days and analyzed for the following: Total Arsenic Nutrients5 Dissolved Organic Carbon Turbidity Dissolved Oxygen Total Mercury Field Parameters3 Total Organic Carbon ICP-MS Metal Scan1 (Total and Dissolved) Major Ions2 Total Suspended Solids pH4
b) quarterly and analyzed for the following: BOD5 Oil and Grease Faecal Coliforms
10. During periods of discharge, e...
SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS. 1. Samples and measurements taken for the purpose of monitoring shall be representative of the monitored activity.
2. For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the conditions of this permit, the Permittee shall record the following information:
a. The exact place, date, and time of the inspection, observation, measurement, or sampling; and
b. The person(s) who inspected, observed, measured, or sampled.
3. Samples must be taken, preserved, and labeled according to Division approved methods.
4. Standard environmental monitoring chain of custody procedures must be followed.
5. Samples shall be analyzed by a laboratory certified by the State of Nevada. The Permittee must identify the certified laboratory used to perform the analyses, laboratory reference number, sample date and laboratory test date in quarterly reports.
6. The accuracy of analytical results, unless otherwise specified, shall be expressed in mg/L and reliable to at least two (2) significant digits. The analytical methods used must have a lower level of detection equal to or less than one-half the reference value for Profile I constituents. Profile II constituents that have established reference values shall be quantified using an analytical method with a lower level of detection equal to or less than the reference value.
SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS. The exact location of Surveillance Network Program Station Number 4-44 shall be as approved by the Inspector.
