APPENDIX B<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 a decontaminated hand-driven 6-inch stainless steel bucket auger. The diameter of the<br />

auger may be modified to suit site-specific conditions and shall be specified in the projectspecific<br />

addendum.<br />

Begin turning the auger in a clockwise direction and continue until the desired sampling<br />

depth is obtained.<br />

Remove the auger and collect samples for VOC and total organic carbon (TOC) analyses in<br />

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

collected directly from the soil in the auger with as little disturbance as possible, using<br />

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

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

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

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

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

Empty remaining contents of the auger into a decontaminated stainless steel pan.<br />

Homogenize samples according to the procedures specified in SOP B2.5, Sample<br />

Homogenization. Fill jars using a stainless steel spatula or spoon.<br />

If it is determined that the sample volume is insufficient to satisfy the analytical<br />

requirements, another sample must be obtained from a location immediately adjacent to the<br />

first sample.<br />

Decontaminate according to the procedures outlined in SOP B1.10.<br />

Place analytical samples into the shipping cooler and chill on ice to 4°C, if required. Prepare<br />

sample(s) for delivery to the laboratory for analysis within 24 hours of collection.<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).<br />

Split-Spoon Sampling Procedure<br />

The following procedure will be used for split-spoon sampling:<br />

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

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

Drill borehole to the desired sampling depth. Drive split-spoon into the undisturbed soil,<br />

which is to be sampled.<br />

A stainless steel 2-inch (or 3-inch) outside diameter split-spoon sampler will be driven with<br />

blows from a 140-lb (or 300-lb) hammer falling 30 inches until either approximately 2 ft has<br />

been penetrated or 100 blows within a 6-inch interval have been applied. This process is<br />

referred to as the Standard Penetration Test (ASTM D 1586-74). A decontaminated splitspoon<br />

will be used for each sample collected for chemical analyses.<br />
