Soil Sampling. Soil cores were collected continuously from the upper portions of each boring. Soil was collected in 4- foot long Geoprobe polyethylene liners installed in the push rods. Each liner was retrieved after the rods were advanced approximately four feet. Each liner was cut open upon retrieval. The soil column was logged under the supervision of an Oregon Registered Geologist and the soil was screened for the presence of VOCs using a photo ionizing detector (PID) fitted with a 10.6 eV lamp and calibrated to isobutylene. The surface of the soil inside the liners was initially screened with the PID. Soil samples for laboratory chemical analysis were collected from undisturbed portions of the soil cores. Soil selected for chemical analysis was transferred from the acetate liner into laboratory-prepared VOA vials with appropriate reagents using a disposable 5ml syringe as directed in EPA method 5035 (8). Adjacent soil was collected in 4-ounce jars supplied by the analytical laboratory for determination of soil moisture content. The soil was transferred to the jars by hand using new clean nitrile gloves. The soil samples were assigned a number designated as „SL‟ followed by the boring number, followed by sampled depth. For example, sample „SL-SB1-3.0‟ was collected from boring 1 from 3 feet bgs The soil was also observed for signs of staining and chemical odors while collecting geological information for logging. Results of the field screening were recorded on the field boring logs along with soil lithology and groundwater conditions. Attempts were made to collect soil samples for chemical analysis from areas where PID readings were elevated. Copies of the boring logs are included in Appendix B. Soil sampling focused on the unsaturated zone, intentionally avoiding sampling from beneath the water table. Sampling at this depth would most likely encounter surface spills, land disposal areas or other source areas. The purpose of this approach was to determine if contaminated soil was present that could represent a source area on the Xxxxxx‟s Site. Contaminated soil could xxxxx to groundwater, contribute to vapor intrusion into on-site buildings, and potentially impact future excavation workers. During field screening, soil in SB-2 and SB-4 showed slight elevations in PID readings (<35 ppm) between 3 and 6 feet below the surface. Elevated PID readings were not observed in any other borings. Besides the petroleum odors observed in the shallow soils at boring SB-4, no stain...

Soil Sampling. ‌ Stantec will subcontract with an Oregon-licensed driller to facilitate borehole advancement for the collection of soil samples to address the objectives indicated in Section 2.1. Soil sampling procedures will be performed consistent with QAPP SOP-02 as summarized below: • Retrieve the disposable acetate sleeve from the direct-push system and cautiously slice the sleeve open with a clean utility knife or sleeve knife so as not to disturb the soil; • First collect soil sample(s) for volatile COCs (VOCs and gasoline-range hydrocarbons) using a disposable, small-diameter core sampler (i.e., EnCore®) placing a minimum of a 5-gram sample into a 40-milliliter volatile organic analysis vial; and • Place the remainder of the soil planned for analysis into appropriate sample containers. A new pair of disposable Nitrile gloves must be donned for the collection of each soil sample. Soil samples will be tested for the COCs listed in Table 1.

Soil Sampling. As summarized on Table 1, data from samples collected during the 2008 Canyon Creek Trestle soil sampling activities detected the metals arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, and silver in near surface soils at concentrations greater than both conservative risk-screening levels and concentrations deemed typical (e.g., DEQ default levels) of naturally-occurring background for the region. Of these metals, chromium and lead were detected above these levels in a number of samples and over the largest areal extent. The 2008 Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) data suggests the metal levels detected are not leachable at levels that would constitute a RCRA hazardous waste. The 2008 Canyon Creek soil samples were collected at 3-inch depth intervals at each sampling station, with concentrations attenuating vertically with increased depth, and with the deepest sampling interval of 6 to 9-inches below ground surface. Although significantly attenuated, lead and chromium were detected in soil samples from the 6 to 9-inch depth interval and the furthest lateral locations in certain areas at Canyon Creek greater than conservative risk-screening levels and concentrations deemed typical of naturally-occurring background for the region (Table 1). 1 Lead is plotted as an indicator constituent because it is the metal mostly widely detected above its conservative risk screening values and default background concentration show in Table 1. Oak Grove Hydroelectric Project Trestles‌ For the preceding reasons, additional soil sampling for vertical and lateral delineation of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, and silver in soil is deemed appropriate for the Canyon Creek Trestle area. Because existing data does not suggest significant attenuation between the 0 to 3-inch and the 3 to 6-inch depth intervals at many locations; and because a 3-inch resolution will not likely be relevant for evaluating removal action alternatives, all additional soil sampling at the Canyon Creek, Cripple Creek, and Pint Creek Trestles will be conducted using 6-inch depth intervals for characterization and delineation purposes. Specifically, depth intervals for all new sampling stations, or in areas where additional vertical delineation is needed, will be: 0 to 0.5 feet; 0.5 to 1.0 feet; and 1.0 to 1.5 feet. Additional proposed soil sampling locations for the Canyon Creek Trestle project area are depicted on Figure 2. The additional sample locations have been selected with the objective of further ...

Soil Sampling. The number and type of samples for chemical analysis is specified in the Site Specific Section of the Scope of Services. The sampling procedures and analytical methods are specified in the Site Specific Section of the Scope of Services. Sampling procedures shall meet all requirements outlined in the most recent version of EPA guidance (QA/G-5S, December 2002). Sampling procedures, equipment, and methods shall be addressed in the site- specific UFP-QAPP to ensure Data Quality Objectives are established and met. The UFP-QAPP shall be submitted for review and approval by the COR and appropriate regulatory agencies. Sampling for chemical analysis shall be performed using a stainless steel split-spoon sampler. Alternate sampling methods may be proposed for approval by the COR in the Contractor work plans. Soil grab samples for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or semi-volatile compounds (SVOCs) analyses shall be obtained by sub- sampling the material retrieved in the split spoon. The portion of the split-spoon sample that represents slough shall not be sub- sampled.

Soil Sampling. Sub-Slab Vapor Sampling

Soil Sampling. 5.4.1.1 Collection of soil samples is proposed at depths of 0.5, 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0m below ground level (mbgl) using inspection pits (0.5 and 1.5mbgl) and boreholes (3.0 to 6.0mbgl). Borehole sampling should be undertaken by means of dry rotary drilling method (without the use of flushing medium to prevent cross-contamination during sampling). The on-site Land Contamination Specialist will decide on the appropriate depths of sampling at each point according to the actual site conditions. 5.4.1.2 An undisturbed U100 sample should be collected from each sampling depth except at the depths of 0.5 and 1.5mbgl where inspection pit should be employed for the collection of disturbed samples. The disturbed samples should be placed in pre-cleaned glass sample jars. The jars should be covered with laboratory solvent washed aluminium foils and lids. Each jar should be labelled properly and details of the sampling locations and other pertinent data should also be recorded. All samples should be stored in icebox between 2oC – 4oC while in the field or in transit and a chain-of-custody form for samples delivery should be completed after samples collection.

Soil Sampling. Soil sampling shall be conducted and analyzed at Operator’s expense in accordance with a plan to be developed and approved by the City and Operator before any new Operations commence. The soil sampling plan will be used to establish baseline soil conditions and monitor soil conditions during the term of this Agreement.

Soil Sampling. Soil samples will be screened utilizing a properly calibrated and maintained PID as indicated in Section 3.4. Using that data and other field observations described below, selected soil samples will be placed in appropriate containers for laboratory analysis. All soil samples will be analyzed for the full list of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) by Method 8260+ which necessitates sample collection via methanol preservation. For that method, a quantity of soil will be placed in a clean syringe, weighed and adjusted to 10 grams, and then placed in a laboratory supplied sample vial containing 10 ml of methanol. A second vial of soil or a sealed syringe of soil will be submitted with each methanol preserved sample for dry weight determination. For the purposes of IDW disposal, one soil sample from a location with observable petroleum impact will also be placed in a four ounce jar for TCLP analysis for lead. As specified in the RFP, the protocol for selecting soil samples for laboratory analysis from individual borings will be based upon the following system (1 the highest priority and 7 the lowest priority): 1. any sample with visible staining or sheen 2. soil sample with PID reading over 1000 ppm 3. soil sample with PID between 500 ppm and 999 ppm 4. soil sample with PID between 100 ppm and 499 ppm 5. soil sample with PID 1 ppm to 99 ppm 6. soil sample just above the water table 7. soil sample at terminus of boring if no water is encountered Following collection and proper preservation, the sample container will be labeled as to sample location and depth, logged onto appropriate chain of custody forms, and placed on ice. Samples will be maintained on ice or in refrigerated cooling until delivered to the DEQ laboratory via overnight shipment or hand delivery. All other samples collected during the screening process, but not submitted to the laboratory, will be properly disposed with other IDW as described in Section 3.7 below.

Soil Sampling. From each borehole location, both surface and subsurface soil samples will be collected (SOP OP-005, App. B). These samples will be screened in the field laboratory to ensure areas exhibiting substantially elevated gross gamma count rates have received representative sampling effort. Samples that are designated as record samples will be sent to Paragon for analysis. Some samples (5 total) will be sent for TCLP characterization, and other characterizations deemed necessary, to assist in determination of acceptable waste disposal options during NTCRA design. Surface sample(s) will also be obtained from the Chartley Swamp periphery to supplement the gross gamma walkover survey (GWS) that will be performed in that area (see below). Additionally, 8 surface and 3 subsurface soil samples will be collected by ERM from locations X-X in accordance with their FSP and QAPP for this site. Samples will be collected and preserved as appropriate and transferred via chain-of-custody to XXXXXXX on-site personnel for shipment to Paragon for analysis of radiological contaminants.‌ Results from this investigation will aid in determining the nature and extent of radiological contamination that would be addressed by a NTCRA.
