(Bechtel) has.been assigned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region IV, under Work Assignment No. 03-4L3L, to perform a remedial investigation/ feasibility study (RI/FS) at the JFD Electronics/Channel Master (Channel Master) site, Oxford, North Carolina. This field operations plan (FOP) describes the logistics of the field tasks to be performed, as outlined in the work plan, to conduct a remedial investigation at the Channel Master site in accordance with the above EPA work assignment. The FOP will be coordinated with the quality assurance project plan (QAPP), which outlines the quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) protocols and the health and safety plan (HSP). 1,1 Project Overview Electroplating operations were conducted at the Channel Master site (shown in Figures 1-1 and 1-2) between 1968 and 1979 by JFD Electronics (JFD). These operations resulted in the generation of electroplating wastes including metal-contaminated sludge and wastewater. A lagoon covering approximately 23,400 ft2 was used to dispose of sludge. In 1980, Channel Master bought the site from JFD/Unimax and in the spring of 1981, began manufacturing indoor antennas and satellite dishes. Some organic solvents such as 1,1,1- trichloroethane (TCA) were used on-site for cleaning. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which reportedly originated from a concrete waste oil tank and chemical storage area, were also released at the site during these operations. Based on the evaluations of a limited soil and groundwater investigation conducted by Channel Master, certain cleanup actions including removal of sludge from the containment lagoon and removal of two fuel oil tanks and one concrete waste oil tank from the south side of the main building were carried out by Channel Master in cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Human Resources -CERCLA Unit (NCDHR-CERCLA) during 1987 and 1988. Areas affected by these efforts are south of the main building, as shown in Figure 1-3. Site visits were conducted by representatives of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) in March 1989 and later by EPA in September 1989. Based on these inspections, both agencies concluded that residual contamination from Channel Master's cleanup efforts may remain at the site. 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .3.7/1406.1 Lake Del'i11 QUADRANGLE LOCATION SCALE 1:24 000 E=3====3:=:E==_f::l ========ea:::=::iOSE==e===e===e=e===e===============e,il MILE 1000 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 FEET e====ee·i::' ======0'====================31 KILOMETER FIGURE 1-1 CHANNEL MASTER SITE-LOCATION MAP 2 - w - -- - - I Q CM-I I ~I I oc I ;1 § STORAGE isl z IN-GROUNO CO WASTE Oil TANK 0 20385 F IG29.0GN 200 400 1' = 200' -- - - - - - -- -- 600 UNDERGROUND TANK VENTS UNDERGROUND FUEL OIL TANK FIGURE 1-2 PRECLEAN-UP SITE MAP CHANNEL MASTER SITE ' SHALLOW DEPRESSIO~ LOCATED ON "f' AER I Al PHOTO\. • ""' -x-x- . ~ 0:ISTING FENCE RAILROAD DI TOI Q SHALLOW J«INI fORING 'l{US !'ZZJ 11 SLUDGE PITS BACKF ILLEO PORT!

This FOP, in combination with the QAPP and the HSP, is the instrument of control for all field activities associated with this project. Procedures for field screening, field investigations, field sampling, and laboratory analysis are described in this FOP. 1.3 Project Organization The Bechtel project organization for the Channel Master site RI/FS is shown in Figure 1-4. The organization provides for direct access by the EPA remedial project manager (RPM) to the Bechtel project manager, which assures prompt response to questions and availability for guidance. Specific details of responsibilities are included in the QAPP. 1.3.1 Subcontractors ICF Technology Corporation (ICF), a teaming subcontractor for the Region IV ARCS program, will provide risk assessment and community relations support as required and may also provide additional services where the need arises. Additional subcontractors and their relationship to the project are as follows: • Field Survey - A licensed surveyor will be selected to provide a planimetric map showing all site-related details for field sampling related activities, including monitoring well elevations measurement. • Driller - A licensed driller will be selected to drill the boreholes and install the monitoring wells. • Groundwater Screening - A qualified driller with capabilities for hydrocone or similar technology will be selected to collect samples for preliminary screening of groundwater. • American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) Accredited Laboratory -Limited personnel exposure samples will be analyzed by an AIHA-accredited lab, if required. 5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1201342.2 I I EPA REMEDIAL PROJECT MANAGER McKenzie Mallary ARCS IV PROGRAM MANAGER QUALITY PROJECT MANAGER ASSURANCE ... ....

All field operations conducted in support of this program will be completed in accordance with procedures presented in EPA Region IV, Engineering Support Branch Standard Operating Procedures and Quality Assurance Manual (ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986)), included as Appendix A. For those activities not included in the ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986), site-specific procedures developed for the Channel Master site will be followed in close accordance. The following sections describe the field investigation protocols for the Channel Master site characterization. 2.2 Mobilization and Preparatory Activities 2.2.1 General The following mobilization and preparatory activities will be initiated prior to the field investigation. These activities include: • Bechtel will meet with representatives of Channel Master prior to field activities to discuss logistics of the field work and placement of the field trailer, etc. • Reviewing the historical development of the site area to identify occasions when quantities of contaminated soils or other materials may have been disturbed or carried from the site. • Examining aerial photographs, maps, and other historical documents to identify events that may have resulted in the disturbance of soils or structures. • Examining utility maps and building permits to determine dates of construction activities. • Procuring subcontractors. • Obtaining EPA approval and procuring equipment i.e., personal protective ensembles, air monitoring devices, sampling and analysis equipment such as a field-operable gas chromatograph (GC), decontamination apparatus, procuring supplies (disposables, tape, notebook, etc.), and ensuring proper calibration of instrumentation. 7 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I • Ensuring that site personnel are medically qualified and properly trained to work on a hazardous waste site and according to specific requirements for the Channel Master site. • Coordinating with the EPA Region IV RPM regarding scheduling the CLP lab and obtaining CLP paperwork. Bechtel will provide sample tags, custody sheets, and safety seals. • Procuring on-site facilities for office and laboratory space, decontamination equipment, vehicle maintenance and repair, and sample storage, as well as on-site water, electric, telephone, and sanitary utilities. • Providing for storage of decontamination solutions, drilling muds cuttings, purge and development water, and spill- contaminated material. • Bechtel will establish a fenced area (approximately 100 x 100 ft) within Channel Master property to store drums of drilling spoils, and well development and purge water. Preparation prior to entering the field is a prerequisite to an orderly and complete sampling schedule. A substantial portion of the sampling procedure consists of gathering and cleaning equipment, collecting and labeling sample containers, and completing necessary forms (e.g., chain-of-custody forms). 2.2.2 Standard Cleaning/Decontamination Procedures All sampling equipment (e.g., hailers), drilling, testing (field), and well-installation equipment will be cleaned and/or decontaminated in accordance with procedures outlined in EPA Region IV, ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986), Appendix B, Standard Cleaning Procedures. Personal protective equipment will be decontaminated as described in the HSP. 2.2.3 Analytical Requirements Table 2-1 is a summary of the number of proposed samples and the corresponding analytical requirements. The sample locations are shown in various figures in the following sections. Approximately forty groundwater samples obtained by using a hydrocone-type technique will be analyzed for the specific volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) previously detected at the site as a preliminary screening tool. Surface and subsurface soil, groundwater, surface water and sediment samples will be analyzed for Target Compound List (TCL) contaminants including volatiles, semi-volatiles and metals. In addition, samples will also be analyzed for dissociated cyanide which has been previously detected at the site.

Groundwater and surface water samples will additionally be analyzed for standard water quality parameters (i.e. pH, conductivity, and temperature). All samples (aqueous and solid) will be analyzed for hexavalent chromium. The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) will be used to determine the mobility of organic and inorganic contaminants in the soil samples. The TCLP was recently promulgated (55 Fed. Reg., No. 61, March 29, 1990, pp. 11798-11877), replacing the Extraction Procedure (EP-Toxicity) leach test. The newly mandated procedure regulates as hazardous those wastes whose leachate exceeds regulatory threshold concentrations of any one of 25 organic toxicants, as well as 14 toxic constituents already regulated. The TCLP differs from the EP-Toxicity test by stipulating exact procedures and test equipment, specifically, use of a zero-headspace extractor (ZHE). The ZHE is used to prevent sample contamination and to eliminate misleading results in the extraction procedure for voes which evaporate easily. Overall, TCLP procedures and analyses basically remain the same as EP-Toxicity, but are more controlled, more standardized, and require less interpretation. 2.3 Sample Identification Procedures 2.3.1 Identification Code A coding system will be used to identify each sample taken during the field investigation. The system will allow quick data retrieval and tracking to account for all samples and will ensure that each sample has a unique identification. Each sample identification number is composed of four components: • A two-letter designation will be used as a general site identification. The site code for the Channel Master Site is CM. • A two-letter designation will be used to indicate the sample type and would have the following meaning. SW -Surface Water so -Sediment GW -Groundwater ss -Surface Soil SB -Subsurface Soil HC -Hydrocone-type Sample • A station-specific designation is used to identify the station at which the sample is being taken as given below: BH5 -borehole number 5 10 I I I I I I I I I SPl -sludge pit station 1 • A three-number designation will be used to number samples according to sample type. The samples are numbered consecutively within the type and are not related to the date of collection. As an example, a sample code follows: CM-SB-SPl-001 (Channel Master -Subsurface soil sample -collected at sludge pit station 1 -first subsurface soil sample from sludge pit station 1) • The depth of the SD, SB, and HC samples will be included on the sample tags and chain-of-custody forms. More information about the type of sample and purpose of sampling will be recorded in the field logbook. 2.3.2 Field Logbook All information pertinent to field surveys and sampling will be recorded in the field logbook. This logbook will be bound, such as a standard laboratory notebook. Field logbooks will be maintained in accordance with EPA Region IV ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986). I 2.3.3 Sample Analysis I I I I I I I I I Table 2-1 provides a summary of the number of proposed samples and the specific analyses required for each sample. 2.4 Land survey 2.4.1 Objective A visual survey will be conducted to update existing maps of the Channel Master site and immediate vicinity. Any new pertinent features will be located (with reference to known points on existing maps) using a compass and 200 ft tape, if needed. This site map will be used to locate and reproduce boreholes, sampling points, and other pertinent features. The survey performed in 1988 by Channel Master may be used as a basis for the map. Pertinent features for the site include facility dimension and locations (e.g., buildings, tanks, piping), surface disposal areas, fencing, and utility lines, roadways and railways, drainage ditches, springs, surface water bodies, vegetation, topography, residences, and commercial buildings. These should be identified for possible contaminant migration and location of potential receptors. 11 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 2.4.2 Planimetric Mapping A map of the site that includes topographic information and physical features on and near the site will be developed. Existing aerial photographs will be used along with information gathered during the preliminary site visit to identify physical features of the area. The aerial photographs and property maps for the site will be compiled. Scales sufficient to clearly show site features and other important details will be adopted for the mapping. Planimetric features that will be provided on this map include paved surfaces, vegetation, fences, power poles, walkways, structures, and all other obstructions. The site maps will show all visually identifiable site features and contour lines. Planimetric mapping will be produced from the most recent aerial photographs available. Property lines will be drafted on the planimetric map. The map will be used as bases for plotting data collected under subsequent tasks. 2.4.3 surface Water Drainage Patterns Drainage patterns within the site and vicinity will be identified to determine potential routes of contaminant migration resulting from surface water runoff and to identify locations where sediments from this runoff may accumulate. Drainage patterns will be identified from U.S.G.S. quadrangle maps and the planimetric mapping. Additional rainfall information will be obtained from the local weather bureau. Additional data on soil characteristics will be obtained during well drilling activities. Rainfall and soil data will be used in the RI to predict the likelihood of future soil erosion. This data will also be used in assessing the potential for future off- site migration of contaminants. 2.4.4 Utilities Layout Data from as-built drawings, municipal records, and previous studies will be used in conjunction with information from local utility companies to determine the location of underground tanks, piping, sewer, and utility lines and to locate them on the planimetric map for the site. 2.5 Sample Collection The following subsections will describe the field screening, surface water, sediment, surface/subsurface soil and groundwater sampling investigations to be conducted during this RI. These subsections will include the field equipment and supplies needed and sampling procedures to be followed for each of the above sample types. All provisions of the Channel Master Health and Safety Plan (HSP) will be followed. Personnel will wear Level D protective equipment as described in the HSP, with contingency 12 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I for Level C. 2.s.1 Field Screening As described in the earlier sections, the Channel Master site is potentially contaminated with heavy metals and voes. However, the currently available information is not sufficient to define the extent of contamination. An increasingly wide practice for initial site characterization is to use on-site screening methods. These methods provide the advantages of real-time innovation and cost-reduction. Hydrocone-type sampling, will be used with a portable GC as an on-site preliminary screening tool for identifying voe contamination in the groundwater beneath the site. This section provides the field screening protocols to be followed. The QA/QC protocols for all field related analyses will be followed as per the EPA Region IV ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986), "Quality Assurance for the Field Laboratory" (Hazardous Materials Control Research Institute, 1987) and the respective manufacturer's manuals. 2.s.1.1 Hydrocone-type sampling The hydrocone-type technology is a rapid, economical means of installing small diameter wells. This sampling instrument can be pushed directly to the sampling depth, eliminating the need for a drilled borehole. In this technology no drilling spoils are generated, and the potential for crew exposure to contaminants is greatly reduced. To obtain a sample, a decontaminated, sealed sampler is pushed to the required depth by a compatible cone rig. After reaching the sampling depth, the porous sampler tip is exposed, and groundwater sampling is initiated. Following sample collection, the sample is secured by increasing the inert gas backpressure or by using a similar method, and the sampler is returned to the surface. These hydrocone-type samples will be analyzed for the site- specific voes, presented in Table 2-1, using a portable GC. 2.s.1.2 Hydrocone-type Sampling Locations The proposed hydrocone-type groundwater sampling locations are identified as shown in Figure 2-1. These 36 locations were selected based upon the Channel Master site investigation conducted during September 1986 (Soil and Material Engineers, Inc., 1986; Industrial Environmental Analysts, Inc., 1988). This investigation indicated that high concentrations of voes were found in the area where the waste oil tanks were stored and where 13 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I voes had been spilled. Hydrocone-type sample locations were chosen downgradient of the previously excavated areas at the site, at the locations where voe contaminated soil was stockpiled prior to treatment, and at the former sludge-drying area south of the Bandag warehouse. Four additional off-site hydrocone-type samples are also proposed for the drainage ditch east of the site. These sampling locations are as shown on Figure 2-2. The forty groundwater sampling locations are only tentative. They will be modified depending on the site conditions and sampling requirements. 2.S.1.3 Field Equipment The following equipment will be utilized for the hydrocone-type sampling activities. • Hydrocone-type samplers and compatible cone rig • HNU 311 Portable Ge and related accessory equipment 2.5.1.4 Procedures Hydrocone-type sampling procedures will be developed by the successful bidder. These procedures will be in accordance with the EPA Region III ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986) and include a section on decontaminating the equipment. All procedures will be submitted to Bechtel and approved prior to site mobilization. The hydrocone-type sampler will not be moved to a new location until satisfactory analytical results are obtained for any one sample and will be decontaminated between each sample location. sample Analysis Volatile organics will be analyzed using an HNU 311 Portable Ge calibrated with standards in the range of 1, 10, and 100 ppm. The HNU 311 is a user-programmable photoionization detector (PID) featuring an isothermal oven temperature range from 5-10° e above ambient to 200° e, ppb sensitivity for many contaminants, and variable selectivity based on choice of lamps. The portable, self-contained unit includes the PID, carrier gas, calibration gas, and a printer/plotter. The HNU 311 Ge may be operated by generator or line power, and is capable of continuous monitoring for all peaks of interest. Programmed calibration mode and sampling methods are stored indefinitely in a battery backed-up memory. Samples may be introduced by an automatic gas sampling system, or by manual injection through a heated injection port, allowing on-site analyses of both gas and liquid samples. Data report output includes retention times and concentrations. Variations in concentrations are accommodated by an autoranging function. 14 ------------------- f-' ll1 I I ~I 0 20385 FJG27.0GN 200 0 HC-1 OCM-1 l' = 200' 400 600 FIGURE 2-1 CHANNEL MASTER SITE HYDROCONE SAMPLE LOCATIONS FOR PRELIMINARY ON-SITE SCREENING 0 HC-2 ' SHALLOW DEPRESSIO~ LOCATED ON l AERIAL PHOTO', -~, 0 0 EXISTING FENCE RAILROAD DITCH ~ PROPOSED HYOROCONE SAJ.f'LE LOCATICNS EXISTING CHANNEL MASTER IOHT!JllNG -.Ell I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 0 D □-1///,;, L---g:; >--a: f---v, :::, ~ ~ sr:i'0'v,.'2 ~ CONG, PIPES 0 FINCH 300 l':: 300' 20385 VICSITE.

Calibration and Maintenance Instrument calibration and preventative maintenance will be performed in accordance with the procedures and schedules recommended by the manufacturer. Instrument calibration and maintenance activities will be documented in an instrument logbook. Corrective maintenance will be performed as necessary. The GC will be calibrated daily before field sampling operation starts. Calibration will be achieved by using standards traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology. Standards in the range of 1,10, and 100 ppm for the above compounds will be used. To calibrate the HNU 311 GC, the calibration standard sample is either hooked to the calibration gas connection, or injected into the injector port as appropriate. The latest calibration run data is stored in the memory as long as power to the GC is kept on. As soon as the unit is turned off, this data is erased from memory; this eliminates the chance of using incorrect calibration data at a later time. Calibration checks will be run as a minimum of 5% of sample analyses while in the field. If a calculated response factor is greater than 30 percent difference from the previous response factor, the GC will be recalibrated and the samples in question rerun. Quality Control Bechtel will follow the guidelines for quality control specified in the EPA Region IV ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986).

The number of proposed samples and the specific analyses required are provided in Table 2-1. Four surface water samples will be collected at the following locations: SWl-Along the ditch, after it crosses the 36-in. concrete pipe SW2-Along the ditch, after it crosses the 48-in. concrete pipe SW3-At a point downstream of where the ditch discharges into the unnamed creek (east of the site) SW4 -Background sample from the unnamed creek north of the site 18 I I The sampling locations are shown in Figure 2-2. I 2.s.2.1 Field Equipment I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I No specialized equipment is required for surface water samples. 2.s.2.2 Procedures The procedures outlined in this section will be adopted for surface water sampling since Specific standard Field Methodology for Surface Water Sampling referred to as Appendix F and Hin the EPA Region IV ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986) have not been completed. However, general precautions and instructions given in Section 4.6.3.2 of the EPA Region IV ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986) will be followed as a general rule. Surface water sampling involves submerging a glass bottle or container into a water body and retrieving a sample. The sampler will move to the sampling location by wading, taking care not to disturb bottom sediments once reaching the sample location. In a flowing stream, the sampler will approach the sampling location from downstream and fill the bottle from upstream direction. The procedure for surface water sampling is given below. • When possible, collect sample from the bank of the water body. • Do not allow floating debris to enter the container. • For volatile organic analysis, the appropriate amount of acid preservative will be added to the sample containers prior to collecting samples. Caution will be used to prevent acid from washing out of the sample container during collection. For all other samples requiring preservative, the preservative will be added after sample collection. • Tilt sample container on its side and allow to fill slowly. • Replace cap . analysis then if air bubble If the sample is collected for volatile invert container and check for entrapped air, is present, discard and resample. 2.s.2.3 Field Measurements The surface water samples will be analyzed on-site for ph, temperature and specific conductance. 19 I I I I I I I I pH/Temperature. pH and temperature will be measured using one instrument with different probes, although separate instruments could be used as well. The instrument will be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions at the beginning of each work day. Measurements will be reported to the nearest o.1•c for temperature, to the nearest 0.01 unit for pH. All calibrations and measurements will be recorded in the field logbook. Specific Conductance. Increased concentration of dissolved (ionic) species in a water medium is indicated by specific conductance. The specific conductance of the sample will be measured using a self-contained conductivity meter. The instrument will be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and procedure at the beginning of each work day. Conductance will be reported to the nearest ten units for readings under 1,000 umho/cm and to the nearest 100 units for readings over 1,000 umho/cm. Also temperature will be measured for correction of the conductance value to 25•c. All calibrations and measurements will be recorded in the field logbook. I 2.5.3 Sediment Investigation I I I I I I I I I I Sediment samples will be analyzed to determine the nature and extent of contamination on the sediments that may be affected by the site. Five sediment samples will be collected from the same locations identified for surface water sampling and listed in Section 2.6 and as shown in Figure 2-2. The number of proposed samples and the specific analyses required are provided in Table 2-1. 2.s.3.1 Preparatory Activities Preparatory activities are as follows: • EPA will obtain access for Field activities. • All necessary equipment and sample containers will be prepared prior to the day of sampling. Since sediment sample involves pond and creek, the property owners will be notified one week prior to the day of sampling. • The RPM will schedule CLP analysis through the sample management office (SMO). 2.5.3.2 Field Equipment and Supplies The following equipment and supplies will be utilized for sediment sampling activities. 20 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I • Ten-foot telescoping stainless steel rod • Four stainless steel hose clamps • Dedicated sampling trowels 2.5.3.3 Procedures The procedure listed in this subsection will be adopted for sediment sampling since "Specific Standard Field Methodology for Sediment Sampling" (referred to as Appendix F and Hin the Region IV ESB SOPQAM (April 1986) has not been completed. However, general precautions and instructions given in Section 4.6.3.3.3 of the Region IV EPA SOPQAM will be followed as a general rule. • Sediment samples will be taken at the same four locations as the surface water samples. They will be analyzed for the parameters presented in Table 2-1. • As described in section 2.6, sediment samples will be retrieved from downstream locations to upstream locations. Surface water samples will always be obtained prior to sediment sampling at each location. • Approach sampling station from a downstream point in order to minimize bottom disturbance. If the bottom sediment is accidentally disturbed, collect the sample at progressively upstream locations, as required. • Use a stainless steel spoon a stainless steel scoop attached to the end of a telescoping stainless steel rod (depending on the depth of the water) to scoop sediment sample from stream bottom. • Avoid collection of plant material and all material greater than 1 cm in size. All care should be exercised to avoid losing the fine materials which tend to disperse when disturbed. • Upon retrieving the sediment sample, do not remove water on top of the final sample. • Stake location and mark it on a site map for future reference. Use landmarks or natural features as a future reference point should stakes be destroyed. • Photograph sampling activity while in progress. • In field logbook record time, location, date, depth and physical description of sediment sample. Also record serial numbers and calibration dates of equipment used. 21 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 2.5.4 surface/Subsurface Soil Investigation The surface and subsurface soil investigations are being conducted to identify and to estimate the quantities of on-site contaminants. This investigation is also focused to determine both the physical characteristics of the overburden (for use in contaminant transport modeling) and the off-site migration potential. Seven boreholes, each approximately 20 ft deep, will be installed within the site at the proposed locations shown in Figure 2-3. These biased sample locations have been identified based on the activities around these locations. Soil samples will also be collected from the boreholes where the proposed monitoring wells will be installed. These monitoring wells will be approximately 50-60 ft deep each. The five proposed monitoring wells are shown in Figure 2-4. Surface soil samples will be taken from the first 1 - 2 feet of each borehole. Subsurface split-spoon soil samples will be collected from all the twelve boreholes at 5-ft intervals, to a maximum depth of forty feet. All soil samples will be analyzed for the parameters identified in Table 2-1. 2.5.4.1 Preparatory Activities • The RPM will schedule CLP analyses through EPA. • Bechtel will prepare IFB for drilling, select subcontractor. • Bechtel will ensure all necessary equipment and sample containers are properly cleaned prior to sampling. • Bechtel will, when appropriate, locate and stake locations before sampling begins. 2.5.4.2 Field Equipment The Subcontractor will provide the following equipment to be utilized for surface/subsurface soil sampling activities.

It is estimated that up to five split- spoon samples will be collected and analyzed from each borehole. Eight borehole samples will be collected from monitoring well boreholes. • Upon extraction of the spilt spoon, the subcontractor will place it in a pyrex glass pan and open the split spoon for immediate collection of the VOA sample and for inspection. The spoon will be photographed and scanned quickly with OVA. All information will be entered in the field logbook. • The required volume of sample will be collected with a clean stainless steel spoon and placed into the sample containers. • Two 120-mL glass vials for VOA analysis will be completely filled and the septum caps will be secured with the Teflon side against the soil. • Two 8-oz glass jars will be filled and reserved for extractables, metals, and cyanide. • The sample will be described in detail using descriptive definitions based on the modified Wentworth Scale. The presence of any unnatural stain or foreign objects will also be noted. • The sample will be photographed to verify collection, and the sample number, frame number, and time of collection will be entered in the field logbook. • A sample from each split spoon will be reserved in a clean 8-oz jar to provide a permanent record of the material encountered in the field log book. • To remove any gross contamination, the outside of the sample containers will be washed with a solution of Alconox (an EPA-approved detergent) and water and will be rinsed with clean water. • The sample will be preserved on ice prior to and during shipment to the laboratory. 25 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I • Record time, location, date, depth and physical description of soil sample in the Field logbook. Also record serial numbers and calibration dates of any equipment used. • Record field team members, level of protection worn by each and task performed by each in the Field logbook. • The augers, rig, and split spoon will be decontaminated as per Region IV ESB SOPQAM (April 1986) prior to initiation of sampling activities at the next borehole location. • At the conclusion of each day's activities, all sample paperwork, chain-of-custody, and packaging will be completed and the samples collected for CLP analysis will be shipped to the laboratory. • At the conclusion of all test boring and sampling activities, the borehole locations will be marked with wood stakes bearing the borehole number in waterproof ink. 2.s.s Groundwater Investigation Monitoring wells will be installed as described in Section 2.6. Groundwater samples will be collected to determine the present and potential extent of groundwater contamination. Preparatory Activities • Obtain permission for property access. • All intrusive field equipment will be decontaminated prior to the sampling of each well. Decontamination will consist of a six-staged rinse as outlined in the Region IV SOP. 2.s.s.1 Field Equipment and Supplies • Stainless steel water-level measuring tape (100 ft) • Electric water-level indicator • 5-gal capacity plastic bucket calibrated in one gallon increments • Stop watch • Field logbook • Key to well locks • Submersible pump • Hose clamps (3/4 in.), six • 300 ft of 3/4 in. diameter PVC hose • 220-volt, 8-amp generator • 3/4 in. gate valves (two) • Stainless steel or teflon bailers • 300 ft cable • electrical line clamps (stay ties) • polyethylene drop cloth 26 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I • Pesticide grade isopropanol • Alconox • Distilled water • Sample bottles • Braided polypropylene rope • Deionized, organic-free water • Teflon bailer (if required) 2.s.s.2 Procedures • Samples will be tested for those parameters presented in Table 2-1. • The water level in each well will be determined by direct measurement using either a weighted stainless steel tape or an electric sounding device. • Once the depth to groundwater is established, the volume of standing water in the well will be calculated via the following equation: V = 23.5(r2) X (d1 -d2) where V = volume of standing water in the well (gallons) r = radius inside casing (feet) d1 = total depth of the well (feet) d2 = measured depth to groundwater from the top of the inner casing (feet) • All decontaminated equipment must be stored on clean polyethylene sheeting and should not touch the ground adjacent to the well. The pump and hose assembly will be rinsed and allowed to air-dry after decontamination as per EPA Region IV ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986). • Lower the pump assembly to a depth which results in the pump intake being located no less than one foot below the top of the water table. • Start pumping and record time. Lower the pump as needed to maintain pumping near the top of the water table. Collect purge water in labeled 55 gal. containers. • Pump three to five casing volumes from the well. Periodically check and record the pumping water level and yield and make necessary adjustments. If the well is pumped dry before 3 to 5 well volumes have been pumped, it will be considered purged. • A Teflon bailer may be used to purge the wells, depending on 27 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the amount of purge water to be evacuated. • Monitor temperature, pH, and specific conductance of the pump discharge. • once 3 to 5 casing volumes have been excavated, remove the pump assembly from the well. • Wearing a clean pair of chemical resistant gloves, remove the bailer and check-valve from the wrapping and screw the check-valve into the bottom of the bailer. • Attach the dedicated polypropylene rope to bailer and pay out enough line to submerge the bailer. • Commencing with the first bailer, pour the bailer contents into the VOA sample bottles. Use sample containers and preservatives as specified in this section. Care must be taken to ensure no air bubbles are included in the VOA vials. • Repeat the procedure for extractable organics, metals, and cyanide samples, using the appropriate sample bottles for each parameter. These bottles should only be filled to where the bottles begin to taper inward. • One sample will be collected from each of 10 existing bedrock wells (municipal/residential), Samples will be obtained from the spigot located closest to the pump. The faucet will be opened to evacuate the contents of the storage tank plus a minimum of three well volumes and any filters will be removed before a sample is collected. The number of samples collected may be revised on a residential well canvas during the RI. • Prepare a label for each sample indicating the location number or identification number, sample number, depth of collection, date/time, and analysis to be conducted. A chain of custody control form and traffic reports will also be prepared. • Carefully package all sample bottles in their respective coolers, add ice and vermiculite, and seal for shipment. • Cap and lock the well. 2.5.5.3 Field Measurements All monitoring well samples will be analyzed on-site for the same parameters as the surface water samples. 28 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 2.6 Monitoring Well Installation/Development The gradient and flow directions of the shallow groundwater described for this site/site area are based on measurements made over a relatively short period of time in a small number of wells. The short time period does not permit accommodation of annual precipitation cycles and their effect on the flow regime at the site. The methods Bechtel has selected to collect data to describe the site geology in order to understand its relation to the aquifer(s) and groundwater flow conditions include: geologic logging, installation of monitoring wells, field hydrogeologic testing, and examination and testing of geomedia samples. 2.6.1 Monitoring Wells Five monitoring wells will be installed in the decomposed soil zone above the bedrock. Decomposed bedrock is believed to be the first stage of decomposition in this area, resulting in a granular material similar to a sand. The final stages of decomposition produce the clay-rich "saprolite" soil. This saprolite and the bedrock beneath the site are believed to be hydraulically connected and part of the same aquifer. The existing upgradient well CM-1 will be sampled if possible. All other wells that were installed previously by Channel Master have been destroyed. The proposed locations of the five monitoring wells and the location of CM-1 are shown in Figure 2-4. The wells will be stainless steel and installed in accordance with EPA Region IV ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986) Section 4.7.3. Detailed procedures to be followed for installing the wells are discussed in Section 2.6.2. Well installation and development activities will be performed under the direct supervision of a Bechtel geologist in the field. The locations for the five new monitoring wells have been selected based upon site information provided and observations made during the site visit in November 1989. However, some of the well locations may be adjusted in the field as field survey and drill hole data are collected and more detailed subsurface geologic information are available. Four of the wells will be within the Channel Master site boundaries, one well will be outside the site boundary. That well will be placed on the railroad property near the discharge of the cross-railroad culvert, assuming physical access is possible and permission is obtained from the railroad authorities. All monitoring wells will be surveyed for location and elevation and will be referenced to the North Carolina coordinate system. This data, including well coordinates and elevations of the 29 I I ground surface at each well and the top of riser casing with the well cap removed, will be recorded in a bound logbook. I 2.6.2 Monitoring Well Installation I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 2.6.2.1 Preparatory Activities • Procure well drilling subcontractor • EPA will obtain access for field activities • Locate and mark well locations • The well drilling subcontractor shall be responsible to obtain all necessary permits 2.6.2.2 Health and Safety Guidelines Personnel will wear Level D protective equipment with contingency to upgrade to Level Cat the direction of the site health and safety supervisor as described in the HSP. Prior to initiating daily field activities, the field team will hold a health and safety meeting. All air monitoring and protective equipment should be checked thoroughly at this time. 2.6.2.3 Field Equipment and supplies • 200-ft steel tape (engineers scale) • All drilling equipment tools, sampling supplies, and decontamination equipment will be supplied by the drilling subcontractor. All equipment will be steam cleaned prior to the installation of each monitoring well. All sampling equipment will be decontaminated as per EPA Region IV ESB SOPQAM Appendix B (April, 1986). 2.6.3 Procedures The geologist will prepare a well drilling record for each well. It will include, but not be limited to, the following: • Site name, boring or well location and number • Drilling log indicating depths of strata changes • Soil and/or rock classification including color, texture, moisture content, and other observation • Sample depths and number • Number of blows required for each 6-in. penetration of the split-spoon sampler, weight of drop hammer and height of drop • Percent recovery of split-spoon core • Depth water was encountered and any changes in water level or a drilling rate noted 30 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I • Seal type and depth interval • Group depth and interval • Total depth of borehole and annual fill interval • Screen type, size and interval • Riser pipe or casing type, size and interval • Depths and intervals of jointed pipe • Date and time of the start and completion of each well The monitoring wells will be installed according to the following procedures. A well construction diagram is shown in Figure 2-5. • Date and time of the start and completion of each well • All wells will be installed to a depth of 50-60 ft. using a 6 inch diameter hollow stem auger rig. • Split-spoon soil samples will be collected at 5-ft intervals in accordance with ASTM D 1586-67 (1974) and the material described by the on-site geologist using standard terminology for each well boring. • Upon retraction, the split-spoon sampler will be removed from the drill stem, disassembled, and placed on a clean pyrex pan. Immediately upon disassembly, the most representative and least disturbed portion of the sample will be bisected with a stainless steel knife. The center of the core shall be incised, disturbing the sample as minimally as possible, and the contents placed in and completely filling an airtight sample bottle. • All equipment will be steam cleaned prior to the installation of each monitoring well. All sampling equipment will be decontaminated as per EPA Region IV ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986). • Once reaching the desired depth, a 2" layer of silica sand will be placed at the bottom of the hole. • The pre-cleaned stainless steel well (including 10 ft, 0.010 slot size screen), will then be placed in the hole within the hollow-stem augers. The augers will be slowly retracted as the filter pack, and bentonite seal are being placed around the well. • A silica sand filter pack will be tremied into the annular borehole space to approximately 2 ft above the screen. • A 2-ft bentonite seal will be placed on top of the filter pack. Bentonite pellets will be poured into the annular space and tamped to prevent bridging. 31 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I :1 I "' LOCKING CAP ----VENTED RISER PIPE COVER ....

The grout will be allowed to set for a minimum of 24 hr. prior to installing the surface pad and protective casing. • A stainless steel protective casing with locking cap will be installed by pouring concrete on top of the grout. The casing will be pushed a minimum of 2 ft into the concrete ground. • A formed concrete pad measuring 3 feet x 3 feet x 6 inches will be placed at the surface. This surface pad will be reinforced with a welded wire mesh and sloped to cause drainage to flow away from the well. 2.6.4 Monitoring Well Development All monitoring wells will be developed to improve the hydraulic communication between the formation and monitoring wells and assure the representativeness of groundwater samples. After construction of the monitoring wells, each well will be developed to remove fine-grained materials (silt, clay) from the gravel pack surrounding the screen and maximize the ability of the screened portion of the adjacent formation to produce water. A variety of pumps, including the airlift, submersible, or hand type or, alternatively, hand bailing, may be used to develop wells. The site geologist will select the appropriate development technology depending on the characteristics of the well after construction. Wells will be considered developed once the water has been cleared up. If the water does not clear, it is likely to be due to the sediments in the bottom of the well. In this case, the sediments will be allowed to settle for one week and an air lift pump will be used to pump the sediments out of the bottom of the well. 2.6.4.1 Health and Safety Guidelines Both an HNU and OVA will be used to monitor the breathing zone. Personnel will wear Level D protective equipment as described in the HSP with contingency to upgrade to Level C in the event that volatile concentration is shown greater than 1 ppm on HNU. Field Equipment The following equipment will be utilized for groundwater sampling activities. • Electric water-level indicator • Specific conductance meter • Marsh funnel (optional) • Plastic buckets (1-, 3-, and 5-gallon capacity) • Key for well locks and site gate locks • Submersible pump/air lift pump/hand pump/teflon bailer 33 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I • Bailers (Teflon) • 100-ft. steel tape with plunker • Stainless steel sash-chain • Check valves (teflon) • HNU • OVA 2.6.4.2 Procedure • All development equipment shall be steam cleaned prior to use. • Promptly following the installation of an observation well, each well shall be developed by surging, compressed air, interrupted overpumping, or other methods approved by the contractor. • If the well is pumped, the rate and drawdown will be measured to determine pre-development specific capacity. • Development water and pump test water will be collected on- site in labeled 55 gal. drums. • Specific conductance of the development discharge water will be measured routinely to assess the progress of the well development. • At regular intervals during well development, the well will again be pumped and the rate of drawdown will be measured to assess improvements in specific capacity. • Development of the observation wells will continue until the wells conform to the technical specifications and monitoring well construction criteria included in the Invitation for Bid (IFB) for drillers. If the water has cleared before the bailing of the well, the well will be considered developed. • Prior to the completion of the project and after all the wells have been installed and developed, the subcontractor will pump each well at a constant rate as required in the IFB to determine specific capacity and drawdown. • If air lift is opted, a venturi-type air lift pump will be used to rapidly remove water from the well together with any suspended fines that have entered the screen. This is an effective well development method. The method relies on rapid movement of water through the filter pack/screen to suspend fine particles with a surging action generated by cycling the pump. Fines that have accumulated inside the well sump below the screen are readily removed by this method. The method is limited by the ability of the formation/well to rapidly produce water. 34 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I • If hand pump is opted, a small diameter hand pump may be used for well development. These pumps are relatively insensitive to sediment loads in the water and are relatively easy to decontaminate. However, the rate of production of water is closely related to the strength of the operator and to the depth of the well. The pump cannot be used to surge the well, only to remove water so uneven development may result. Development of the monitoring wells will continue using a hand bailer until the water is visibly clear or the suspended solids content of the produced water is less than 5 mg/L of suspended solids as measured during maximum production rates. • Remove and decontaminate pumping and test equipment. Lock each well upon completion of the test. 2.6.S Drawdown Tests on Monitoring Wells The drawdown of each monitoring well during a 2-hour pumping period will be measured during this task. If the well yield is not sufficient to maintain a 2-hour pumping period, the pump rate will be slowed to an acceptable rate to maintain pumping. This pump rate will be determined at the beginning of the pump test. 2.6.S.1 Preparatory Activity • Develop each well • All intrusive field equipment will be decontaminated prior to the sampling of each well. Decontamination will be conducted according to the EPA Region IV ESB SOPQAM (April, 1986). 2.6.5.2 Health and Safety Guidelines Personnel will wear Level D protective equipment as described in the HSP. Prior to initiating any field activities, the field team will review and discuss, in detail, the HSP. All monitoring and protective equipment should be checked thoroughly at this time. Field Equipment The following equipment will be utilized for monitoring well development activities: Stainless steel water-level measuring tape (100 _ft) • Electric water-level indicator • 5-gal capacity plastic bucket calibrated in one gallon increments or calibrated 55-gal drums 35 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I • Stop watch • Key to well locks • Submersible pump (3/4 HP)/Air lift pump/teflon bailer • Braided polypropylene rope 2.6.5.3 ,Procedures for PUmping • The water level in each well will be determined by direct measurement using an electric sounding device and recording the depth to water in the field logbook. • Assemble the pump and attach the discharge hose. • Measure the depth to water and allow water to recover to a static level. Use this static level measurement as the original water level. • Start generator and pump the well at a constant rate. Collect purge water in a 55 gal. drum. Purge water will be kept to a minimum. Discharge rate will be determined using a stopwatch and calibrated bucket. The amount of time it takes to fill the bucket will be recorded. • Take water level measurements once every 30 sec for the initial 10 min, once every minute for the next 10 min and every 5 min after 20 min until an equilibrium has been verified. • Record both the time and drawdown in the field logbook for each water level measurement. • Plot the time vs. drawdown on semi-logarithmic graph paper. The time (in minutes since the start of pumping) should be plotted on the logarithmic scale and the drawdown (in feet) plotted on the linear scale. • When the pumping level stabilizes, calculate the well's specific capacity by dividing the discharge rate (Q) by the drawdown. If after two hours the pumping level has not stabilized, estimate the 24 hour drawdown by extrapolating the time-drawdown plot. Use the predicted drawdown to calculate the well's specific capacity. After 2 hours, stop pumping the well and take water level measurements at the following intervals: 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 30 sec 1, 2, 4, a, 16, 30 min until the well has recovered to 90 percent of its static level. 36 I I ,I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I • Record recovery data in the field logbook and plot time vs. drawdown on the semilog paper. Compare recovery and pump data to verify that specific capacity calculation were correct. 2.6.6 Field Permeability Tests (Slug Tests) Field permeability tests will be performed to measure, record, and evaluate rising and falling head data from each well. 2.6.6,1 Preparatory Activities • Develop each well • Calculate gravel pack porosity (where applicable) • Decontaminate all intrusive equipment 2.6.6,2 Health and Safety Personnel will wear Level D protective equipment as described in the HSP. 2.6.6,3 Field Equipment The following equipment will be utilized during the field permeability test. • Electronic water level indicator • Pressure transducers (5 psi, 10 psi) • Dedicated field logbook and semi-log graph paper • Enviro-labs data logger Model DL-120-MCP or equivalent • Cylindrical slug (solid), 3.5 in. O.D., 60 in. long • Alconox detergent • Deionized, organic-free water • Scrub brush • Disposable 3/8 in. cord Pesticide grade isopropanol 2.6.6.4 Procedures • Measure the water level in the well using the electronic water-level indicator and record the data in the field log book. • Complete the system setup procedures by setting the internal clock in the data logger, input transducer scale factors, and selecting appropriate logging sequence for each well. Lower transducer into well to a depth of a ft beneath static water level to reduce the possibility of damage to the transducer by the slug. Allow transducer to stabilize, and record initial head reading in feet. Input the logging sequence in preparation of slug test. 37 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I • Lower slug into well, stopping at a pre-determined depth immediately above the static water. • Instantaneously introduce the slug into the water so that the entire slug is submersed, keeping the bottom of the slug from touching the pressure transducer. Once the well has recovered to 90 percent or greater of its original level, store data in unit memory as falling head measurements. • Reset the data logger to standby mode. • Leaving the logging sequence the same as for the falling head test, instantaneously remove the slug from the water. Tie off cord and leave the slug in the well suspended above the water surface. • Once the well has recovered to 90 percent or greater of its original level, store data in unit memory as rising head measurement. • output data in memory to a printer upon the completion of the test at each well. • Evaluate the data obtained in shallow monitoring wells and calculate the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity. Hydraulic conductivity is a measure of the capacity of a porous media to transmit water. Hydraulic conductivity will be determined using a Slug Test. This test involves dropping a weighted object of known volume into the bottom of the well. The amount of time it takes the top of the water column to return to its original height is recorded. 38 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 3.0 SAMPLE HANDLING/CHAIN OF CUSTODY Sample handling and chain of custody procedures will be followed in compliance with Region IV SOP. The sequential steps involved in the sample handling and shipping are presented as follows. 3.1 sample Authorization All samples collected for TCL analysis during the RI phase of the Channel Master site will be analyzed via the EPA CLP Routine Analytical Services (RAS). All sample analyses for geophysical characteristics will be performed by pre-qualified subcontractors. In addition, surface water, groundwater, soil and sediment samples will require CLP Special Analytical Services (SAS). All analytical requests (RAS and SAS) will be initiated through the RPM. The following information will be supplied by Bechtel to the RPM: • Name of requester, affiliation, and telephone number • Name and location of site to be sampled • Number and matrix of samples to be collected • Type of analyses required (i.e., organics, inorganics) • cyanide analysis requirement (inorganics only) • Schedule of sample collection and shipment date A minimum of two weeks lead time is required for RAS sample collection authorization. A minimum of three weeks lead time is required for SAS sample collection authorization. At the time of the request, based on the information from the RPM, the RSCC informs the Sample Management Office (SMO), which in turn assigns a sequential case number to each individual RAS sampling activity. This case number will be recorded in the field logbook because it will be used to reference the request through sampling and analysis procedures. When a case number is issued, a laboratory assignment will be made by SMO. Any changes occurring in the sampling schedule after this time must immediately be brought to the attention of RPM and SMO. These changes may include, but are not limited to, number of samples, shipping date, schedule adjustments, and sampling cancellations. 3.2 Sample Documentation Each sample submitted for analysis will be properly documented to ensure timely, correct, and complete analysis for all parameters requested and to support the use of analytical data in potential enforcement actions. The following documentation will be submitted: 39 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I r I • Sample Traffic Report or SAS Packing List • Chain-of-Custody Record The Region IV SOP, Section 3, provides detailed information sample control, field record, and document control. These procedures will be followed in close accordance. 3.2.1 Sample Traffic Report on The Sample Traffic Report (TR) is a four-page carbonless form printed with a unique sample identification number. One traffic report and its preprinted identification number are assigned in the field to each sample collected. A copy of the organic TR is provided in Figures 3-1 and 3-2. A copy of the inorganic TR is provided in Figures 3-3 and 3-4. As shown in Figure 3-2 and 3-4, only the pink copy which is being sent to the EPA/ESD office should describe the special handling of sample. Column D (special handling) should not be filled in any other copy. The bottom two copies (white and yellow) of the TR are submitted with the sample shipment to the laboratory. The top copy (blue) is submitted to SMO and the second copy (pink) is retained in EPA's project file. A copy of the TR is made and retained in Bechtel's project file. A strip of adhesive sample labels, each printed with the TR sample number, comes attached to the TR. One numbered label is affixed to each container making up the sample. In order to protect the label from water and solvent attack, each label is covered with clear waterproof tape. The sample labels, which bear the TR identification number, permanently identify each sample collected and link each sample component throughout the analytical process. 3.2.2 Special Analytical services (SAS) Packing List For an "All SAS" type of request, samplers utilize the SAS packing list, a four-part carbonless form. The packing list provides space to list up to 20 samples on one form. SAS samples are numbered using the SAS number followed by a hyphen and progressive numerical designation, starting with 1 (e.g., S00E-1, S00E-2, S00E-3, etc.). If the sampling activity extends over several days and more than one packing list is used, care must be taken not to repeat sample numbers. 40 -- !!

Lab Copy _,,-- -- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I To provide a permanent record of each sample collected, the sampler completes the packing list, recording the SAS number, site name and location, sampling data, shipment data, analysis laboratory, sampling office, sampler name and telephone number, individual SAS sample numbers, sample description and analytical parameters requested. After completing the packing list, the sampler includes the bottom two copies with the sample shipment to the analysis laboratory. Following sample shipment, the sampler sends the top copy to SMO. The second copy is the sampler's file copy. One copy of the SAS Packing List will be provided to the RPM. An SAS form is filled out as shown on Figure 3-5. Upon receipt of samples, the analysis laboratory documents sample condition and signs the packing list, returning a copy to SMO and keeping a laboratory file copy. Copies of the laboratory-signed packing lists are provided to the RSCC as part of the SAS data package. 3.2.3 Chain of Custody Record The following custody documentation procedure is used in conjunction with CLP sample documentation for all samples processed through the CLP. To maintain a record of sample collection, transfer between personnel, shipment, and receipt by the laboratory, a Chain of Custody Record (Figure 3-6) is filled out for each sample type after all TRs have been completed and sample bottles have been packed for shipment. Each time the samples are transferred to another custodian, signatures of the person relinquishing the sample and receiving the sample, as well as the time and date, should document the transfer. A sample is considered to be in an individual's custody if the following criteria are met: • • it is in your possession or it is in your view after being in your possession it was in your possession and then locked up or transferred to a designated secure area Under this definition, the team member actually performing the sampling is personally responsible for the care and custody of the samples collected until they are transferred or dispatched properly. To follow up, the sampling team leader reviews all field activities to confirm that proper custody procedures were followed during the field work. The Chain of Custody Record is employed as physical evidence of sample custody. Each time the samples are transferred to another custodian, the party relinquishing and receiving the sample must sign and date the record and time of transfer. 45 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY CLP Sample Management Office ( 0, Box 818 -Alexandria, Virginia 22JlJ . none: 703/557-2490 -FTS/557-2490 SPECIAL ANALYTICAL SERVICE PACKING LIST SampHng Office: Sampling Date(s): Ship To: t"'""+,,; ;, /,r,,,l,1-,,-f ill. tl:t/,,_,/'1.-1 l1'1:.L1 ~ R,ock7 - Sampling Contact: 1..;:/1,,"!1 ~d,'t (name I L/<J'f./£'J.l, -335:"/ (phone!

A copy (yellow) of the custody record is retained for the sampler's files. The pink copy is retained by the laboratory and the white copy is returned to the sampler. Shipping coolers are secured with fiber tape and custody seals are placed across cooler openings. As long as custody forms are sealed inside the sample cooler and custody seals remain intact, commercial carriers are not required to sign off on the custody form. Whenever samples are split with an owner/operator or government agency, a separate Chain of Custody Record and a "Receipt for Samples" form should be prepared for those samples, indicating with whom the samples are being split and sample tag serial numbers from splits. A copy of the "Receipt for Samples" form is enclosed as shown in Figure 3-7. 3.3 sample Bottle Procurement Sample bottles used (see Figures 3-8 and 3-9) for sampling for the Channel Master site will be procured from a separate subcontractor such as I-Chem Research or Eagle Picher Environmental Services. The sample containers/bottles obtained from the subcontractor should be precleaned and QC-tested according to prescribed procedures of EPA's CLP to ensure that no contamination exists that might affect sample data results. Clean empty bottles are shipped to users in protective cardboard cartons. All the bottles are procured directly from subcontractor. 3.4 Sample Handling, Packaging, and Shipping Samples obtained at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites are classified according to pollutant concentration. "Low level" samples are generally dilute and are usually collected from areas surrounding a spill or dump site (i.e., off-site samples from soils, rivers, lakes, etc.). "Medium level" samples are generally collected on site, in areas of moderate dilution by normal environmental processes. Low and medium level designation swill be made by the Bechtel field team in the field. "High hazard" (HH) samples contain greater than 15 percent of any individual chemical contaminant and generally include samples collected from drums, tanks, lagoons, pits, waste piles, fresh spills, etc. HH samples require special handling procedures because of their potential toxicity or hazard. HH samples are not anticipated to be collected during remedial investigation activities for the Channel Master site. 48 ------ -- 5. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ;GJON 4 . JlOJ. NO.

All samples can be shipped by overnight delivery service, but only in "cargo only" aircraft. A copy of the shipment form is enclosed for reference (Figure 3-10). 3.5 Sample Shipment Coordination To enable SMO to track the shipment of samples from the field to the laboratory and ensure timely laboratory receipt of samples, the Bechtel field team will notify SMO immediately following all sample shipments to provide the following information: Sampler name • Case number • Exact number(s) and type(s) of samples • Laboratory ( s) • Carrier and airbill number(s) • Method of shipment (e.g., overnight, two-day) • Date of shipment • Any irregularities or anticipated problem with the samples, including special handling instructions, or deviations from established sampling procedures • Status of the sampling project (e.g., final shipment, update of future shipping schedule) Sample shipments made after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) will be called into SMO at the start of business the next day (8:00 a.m. EST). SMO will be notified by 3:00 p.m. EST Friday concerning information on sample shipments going out Friday intended for Saturday delivery/pickup. CLP laboratories remain open to receive or pick up Saturday shipments only upon advance notification by SMO and only when shipment airbill numbers have been provided to SMO by the sampler. Any postponements or cancellations, changes in the number or type of samples to be collected, or changes in shipping dates must be communicated to SMO as soon as this information is known. 53 - !!'
