APPENDIX B<br />

SOP B2.2<br />

Surface Soil Sampling<br />

Surface soil 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.<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 />

Obtain soil sample using a scoop/trowel, after organic materials have been scraped away, by<br />

scooping soil from the surface to 36 inches below surface or the depth specified in the<br />

project-specific addendum.<br />

Record appropriate air monitoring results.<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 B2.5, Sample<br />

Homogenization. Fill jars with soil using disposable sample equipment or decontaminated<br />

stainless steel spatulas or spoons.<br />

Place analytical samples in cooler and chill to 4°C. Samples will be shipped within 24 hours<br />

to an appropriate laboratory.<br />

Sample equipment should be disposed in accordance with the WMP (Appendix E of the<br />

BWP) or decontaminated as specified in SOP B1.10.<br />

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

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

should be recorded in the field log book. Classify soils in accordance with the requirements<br />

of SOP B1.1, Borehole and Sample Logging.<br />
