PRECAUTIONARY CAVEAT This guideline refers to methods of analysis that may require the use of hazardous materials, operations and equipment. It does not, however, address all of the associated real or potential safety problems. It is the responsibility of the user of these guidelines to establish adequate health and safety practices such as those outlined in AS 2243 Safety in laboratories, Parts 1-10 as amended (available online at ), and to ensure that any person involved in performing any relevant procedures is adequately trained and experienced. DISCLAIMER Any equipment or materials which meet stated specifications and result in satisfactory method performance may be used to carry out the methods referred to in this guideline. Mention of specific trade names, products or suppliers does not constitute endorsement by NEPC of those items, materials, or suppliers over other suitable products or sources. Rather, it is intended to provide users with examples of suitable products and information on those sources which are known to NEPC.
The following guideline provides general guidance in relation to laboratory analysis of potentially contaminated soils in the assessment of site contamination. This <strong>Schedule</strong> forms part of the National Environment Protection (Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure as varied 2011 and should be read in conjunction with that document, which includes a policy framework and assessment of site contamination flowchart. It aims to ensure consistency in analytical results from the laboratory analysis of potentially contaminated soils. It should be read in conjunction with <strong>Schedule</strong> B2 of the Measure. This <strong>Schedule</strong> replaces <strong>Schedule</strong> <strong>B3</strong> to the National Environment Protection (Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure 1999. The National Environment Protection <strong>Council</strong> (NEPC) acknowledges the contribution of a number of individuals and organisations towards the development of these guidelines. In particular, these include Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Victoria (principal author), members of the Environmental Laboratories Industry Group (ELIG), other individual staff members of commercial and government laboratories, members of the Australian Contaminated Land Consultants Association (ACLCA) and individual contaminated site consultants, environmental auditors, officers of the NSW Department of Climate Change and Water (DECCW), and CRC CARE petroleum advisory group for guidance on TPH speciation and analysis.
