Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Mr. Horner called on Thursday, July 26 to say that he got the sampler set up correctly. He spoke to
Siemens who walked him through the flow meter's system and determined that 1 pulse was set at 100
gallons. At the known composite sampler setup, this means that the sampler was programmed to take
50 ml every 600 gallons, or approx. 45 litres of sample per 24 hour period. Mr. Horner said he
programmed it to take 115 mL every 113 pulses, which would yield approx. 5.5 litres of sample.
Mr. Horner called again on Monday, July 30 to say that he checked the sampler's pull volume and was
consistently getting closer to 250 ml, and had tried calibrating the volume but it did not help.
When I arrived for the follow up inspection to verify the sampler setup, Mr. Horner said that he spoke
with ISCO the previous day and they helped him troubleshoot the issue with the sampler volume. He
said that the tubing was routed incorrectly into the sampler, so it was running in reverse (the purge
cycle would pull a sample, and the sample cycle would purge water from the sample if it were high
enough). He rerouted the tubing and the sampler was now correctly set at 115 ml per 113 pulses, with
each pulse being 100 gallons. Aliquot volume was verified using a graduated cylinder. Mr. Horner said
he had not modified the sampler tubing since he became operator in February.
