APPENDIX B<br />

SOP B4.3<br />

Surface Water Sampling<br />

Surface water sampling will be performed by the following procedure:<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 prior to sampling.<br />

A Teflon ® or stainless steel scoop or beaker, or sample bottles may be used to collect the<br />

samples. The project-specific addendum will specify the sampling equipment to be used.<br />

Measure and record temperature, pH, specific conductance, and dissolved oxygen (if<br />

required) as described in SOPs B3.1, B3.2, B3.3 and B3.4, respectively.<br />

Water samples will be collected prior to sediment samples and collected in ascending order<br />

from the most downstream point first, to the farthest upstream sampling location. Care<br />

should be exercised when pouring the water in the sample bottles to minimize aeration of<br />

those samples collected for volatile organic analysis, and prevent overfilling of those sample<br />

bottles that contain preservatives. Samples shall be placed in pre-preserved containers.<br />

Samples to be analyzed for volatile constituents will be collected from the first beaker or<br />

scoop. The vials will be filled and tapped so that the entrainment of air is minimized and no<br />

headspace exists. If bubbles appear, refill the vial. These samples will not be composited,<br />

homogenized, or filtered.<br />

NOTE: Filtration for dissolved metals is discussed in SOP B4.4, Field Filtration.<br />

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

appropriate laboratory within 24 hours.<br />

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

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

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

Permanently mark the sampling location with a flagged stake in the stream bank.<br />
