APPENDIX B<br />

SOP B2.1<br />

Sediment Sampling<br />

Sediment sampling will be performed by the following procedure:<br />

Wear appropriate PPE as specified in the BWHSP (Appendix F of the BWP) and the SSHP.<br />

In addition, samplers will don new sampling gloves at each location prior to sampling.<br />

Use of disposable sample equipment is preferred. If disposable sample equipment is<br />

unavailable, use of decontaminated sample equipment is allowed. Sample equipment shall<br />

be decontaminated per the requirements of SOP B1.10, Equipment Decontamination. All<br />

sampling equipment which may not be decontaminated should be disposed of in accordance<br />

with the project-specific addenda to the WMP (Appendix E of the BWP).<br />

Scrape away surficial organic material (grass, leaves, etc.).<br />

If there is any surface water flow, sampling will proceed in an upstream direction. After<br />

organic materials have been scraped away, obtain a sediment sample using the scoop by<br />

scooping material from the surface to 6 inches below surface, or the depth specified in the<br />

project specific addendum.<br />

Record appropriate air monitoring analyses.<br />

Sample collection for VOC and total organic carbon (TOC) analyses will be in accordance<br />

with U.S. EPA SW-846 Method 5035 and NMED requirements. Samples will be collected<br />

using EnCore ® (or similar) samplers. If conditions exist that make the use of this type of<br />

sampler impractical (such as dry or gravelly conditions), another method may be used and<br />

should be addressed in the project-specific work plan. If another method is used, such as a<br />

discrete grab sample collected in a 4-ounce jar, the sample should be collected prior to<br />

homogenization with as little disturbance as possible.<br />

Homogenize samples according to the procedures specified in SOP B1.12, Sample<br />

Homogenization. Fill jars with sediment using stainless steel spatulas or spoons. The<br />

sample jar quantities and sizes are dependent on the analyses being run and are detailed in<br />

Table 5-1 of the QAPP (Appendix C of the BWP).<br />

Place analytical samples in cooler and chill to 4°C. Samples will be shipped to the<br />

laboratory within 24 hours.<br />

Decontaminate scoop as specified in SOP B1.10.<br />

Fill out field log book, sample log sheet, custody seals, labels, and C-O-C forms. Example copies of<br />

these forms are included in the QAPP (Appendix C of the BWP). Soil classification should be recorded<br />

in the field log book. Classify soils in accordance with the requirements of SOP B1.1, Borehole and<br />

Sample Logging.<br />
