1.0 INTRODUCTION
The State of North Carolina has authorized the detoxification of soils placed within the Warren County
PCB Landfill using the Base-Catalyzed Decomposition (BCD) technology. Approximately 70,000 tons
of materials contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) will be treated. The detoxified soil will
be placed on-site after analytical testing has confirmed that the soil has been treated to the performance
standards established for PCBs and dioxins.
1.1 PROJECT OBJECTNES
The North Carolina Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) has contracted
Earth Tech to perform ambient air monitoring around the perimeter of the landfill during operation of the
BCD system. Perimeter air monitoring will satisfy the following objectives:
• Demonstrate that project activities are protective of human health.
• Demonstrate ambient air is in compliance with the Department of Air Quality guidelines for
PCBs, dioxins/furans (D/Fs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulate matter.
• Ensure the release of particulate matter from excavation and earth moving activities are
minimized.
• Determine the concentration of site-specific airborne contaminants exiting the project boundary.
1.2 PROJECT SCOPE
This Air Monitoring Plan (AMP) addresses the perimeter air monitoring requirements during baseline
development, Demonstration Test Plan testing, and full-scale operation of the BCD system. This AMP
does not address requirements for stack monitoring to be perform on process equipment during the
Demonstration Test and full-scale phases of the project.
The purpose of the AMP is to describe the equipment, procedures and analytical testing utilized for
ambient air monitoring to ensure that the objectives stated above are met.
Project personnel and their titles are outlined in Table 1-1.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A landfill permitted under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was constructed in Warren County,
North Carolina in 1982. The purpose of the landfill was to securely consolidate soil contaminated by the
illegal spraying of liquids containing PCBs along 210 miles of roadway in North Carolina. The
contaminated roadsides were listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) and the Warren County Landfill
was the selected remedy under the Superfund action. The State of North Carolina has since decided to
provide a more permanent remedy by detoxifying the contents of the landfill using BCD.
The detoxification project will be performed in the following general phases of work and target dates:
I. Baseline Air Monitoring: Completed June 3, 200 I
2. Site Preparation, System Functional Testing: June 4, 2001 -July 15, 2002
3. Shakedown, Excavation and Soil Screening: July 16, 2002 -August 27, 2002
4. Demonstration Test: August 27, 2002 -August 30, 2002
5. Interim and Full Scale Operations: August 31, 2002 -April 29, 2003
Results of the Baseline Air Monitoring are presented in Section 2.6.1.
Site Preparation is on-going and will be concluded with the functional testing of equipment. During these
phases of work, contaminated soils will not be excavated; therefore air monitoring will not be performed.
As part of the shakedown process, equipment will be tested using first clean (non-contaminated) soils.
After the system is functional using clean soils, contaminated soils will be excavated, screened and
processed through the BCD system. Air monitoring will be performed during this phase of operations.
During the Demonstration Test and operation phases, several varied activities will occur in the BCD
processing area. On the north end, soil screening, mixing and stockpiling will take place. The screening
and mixing activities will be intermittent -three to six hours per day and approximately five days per
week. Contaminated soil stockpiles will be maintained continuously. The soil and liquid BCD
processing equipment will be located in the central area. This work area will be active 24 hours per day,
seven days per week. Clean soil stockpiles awaiting final laboratory confirmation will be located along
the south area. Clean soil stockpiles will be maintained continuously. Air monitoring will be performed
during this phase of operations.
There will be a separate system to treat contaminated storm/decontamination/excavation water. The BCD
process will be designed to recycle the treated process water to cool and rehydrate the treated soils. The

treated storm/decontamination water will be utilized to the extent feasible to recondition treated soils and
in the BCD process.
2.1 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
The landfill is located on a 142-acre tract of land on the east side of SR 1604 approximately 1.5 to 2.0
miles from the intersection of SR 1604 and US 401, three miles south of Warrenton. The State owns
approximately 19 acres of the tract and Warren County owns the remaining acreage that surrounds the
State's property. The containment area of the landfill cell occupies approximately 3.8 acres and is
enclosed by a fence. The remaining state and surrounding county property is undeveloped and populated
with timber of various ages. Land adjacent to the county property is either undeveloped or used for
agricultural purposes. The unpaved entrance road is maintained by the North Carolina Department of
Transportation and was designed to handle large soil-laden dump trucks.
The landfill surface dimension is approximately 300 feet x 550 feet with a depth of approximately 25 feet
of contaminated soil at the center of the landfill. The landfill has a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) liner and
clay cap and a leachate collection system.
The average concentration of PCBs is approximately 350 parts per million (ppm) with a range of 150 to
, almost 900 ppm. The PCBs are a mixture of PCB congeners with approximately 61 % Aroclor 1260, 27%
Aroclor 1254, and 12% Aroclor 1242 by weight. Other chemicals such as chlorinated benzenes, furans,
and dioxins are present in part per quadrillion to part per billion concentrations.
2.2 PREVIOUS AIR MONITORING DATA
There have been two separate studies to determine the concentration of PCBs in the air at the Warren
County Landfill site since the landfill was installed. These studies did not include analysis for D/Fs or
VOCs. No background air sampling data has been located for PCBs or D/F for the Warren County
Landfill site prior to the construction of the landfill.
In January 1983, EPA conducted an air study to determine and quantify if PCBs were being emitted from
vent pipes on the landfill, if PCBs were present in the ambient air upwind and downwind of the vent
pipes, and if PCBs were present in the vicinity of the nearest residence, approximately one-half mile away
("Draft Final Report on Ambient Monitoring for PCBs at the Warren County North Carolina Landfill",
Contract Number 68-02-3745, April 8, 1983). PCBs were found in the vent stacks in varying
concentrations. No PCBs were found in t_he ambient air samples above the detection level of 6 ng/m3 for
Arochlor 1242, or 10 ng/m3 for Arochlor 1260. Samples were not analyzed for Arochlor 1254.

Dispersion modeling performed using emission rates from the vents confirmed that concentrations of
PCBs in the ambient air would be below detectable limits at distances of 50 m, 100 m, and 150 m
downwind from the vents.
In August 1997, EPA conducted a second air quality study to determine the concentration of PCBs in the
area of the landfill (August 22, 1997 memo "Results of Air Study at Warren County Landfill, North
Carolina", Project Number 97-0345). No PCBs in the ambient air at the landfill were detected at the
detection level of 3 ng/m3 for Arochlor 1242, Arochlor 1254, or for Arochlor 1260. Other species of
PCBs were analyzed; all were below their detection limits.
Prevailing wind direction and wind speed information has been reviewed for the years 1984 to 1992. The
Raleigh-Durham airport is the representative wind data location for the site. The prevailing wind
direction is from southwest to northeast (32% of the time). The secondary wind direction is from
northeast to southwest (24% ), directly opposite of the predominant, prevailing winds. Most frequent
wind speeds are from 4-10 miles per hour. Calm winds occur 7% of the time. Windrose data is presented
in Appendix A.
2.3 TAR GET COMPOUND LIMITS
The target compounds to be monitored by the perimeter sampling stations are volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) that are included on the NC 2D.1104 Toxic Air Pollutants (T APs) list, total PCBs, toxicity
equivalent quotient (TEQ) dioxin/furan, and particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or
equal to 10 micrometers (PM-10).
Target compounds will be monitored by the perimeter sampling stations to ensure ambient air
concentrations at the property line do not exceed the following acceptable levels as outlined in Table 2-1.
Modifications to the thermal treatment or excavation processes may be required if these levels are
exceeded.
North Carolina ambient air limits are given in Appendix B. There are limits for individual VOCs but no
limit for total VOCs.
2.4 PERIMETER SAMPLING LOCATIONS
The number and location of sampling sites help to define the spatial concentration of pollutants within an
air parcel. Factors that influence the required number and locations of monitoring sites are: (1) the
location of potential on-site emission sources; (2) the locations of topographic features that affect the

dispersion and transport of site emissions; (3) the variability of local wind patterns; (4) the locations of
sensitive receptors such as schools, hospitals, and other citizens; (5) the level of confidence needed to
ensure that the maximum concentration levels are observed; and (6) the level of available funding.
Typically, programs designed for determining long-term concentration levels (i.e., months, years) require
fewer monitoring locations than those intended to monitor compliance with short-term action levels
because the long-term prevailing wind directions are usually more predictable than day-to-day wind
patterns. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has recommended three ambient
air monitoring stations, one upwind to monitor pollutants entering the site and two downwind to monitor
emissions leaving the site, can be used to characterize emissions at a hazardous waste site.
Under 40 CFR Part 58, USEPA specifies certain constraints on placing ambient monitors to minimize
influence of obstructions caused by nearby buildings, trees, hills, or other obstacles. These constraints are
placed on the location of monitors around the site in order to insure that the data collected is accurate and
not influenced by nearby obstructions. Other restraints might be related to security, the accessibility of
electrical power, as well as the proximity to roadways or other pollution sources that might affect the
representativeness of the sample for measuring the site's effects on local air quality. Specific guidelines
for selecting site locations to achieve representative conditions are included in Appendix E of 40 CFR
Part 58.
A fixed network of sampling locations that meet the requirements discussed above can be located around
the perimeter of the Warren County PCB Detoxification Site when coupled with the meteorological
monitoring discussed below. One upwind and two downwind sampling locations are adequate to
characterize the ambient air at the project site. The approximate southwest to northeast placing of the
monitoring stations were determined using the windrose data (Appendix A). The prevailing wind
direction and approximate location of each station is presented in Figure 1.
The analytical results of the three permanent monitoring stations will be used to determine the ambient air
quality. A fourth sampler will be rotated and co-located with the permanent monitoring stations. If the
permanent sampler fails, the co-located sample results may be substituted for the permanent sampler
results to determine the ambient air quality.
The co-located sampler will mainly be rotated between the downwind stations based on prevailing wind
directions. However, as part of a quality control (QC) check on all of the permanent stations, the co-
located sampler will be rotated between all of the monitoring stations every other week. The co-located
sampler will monitor the same analytes as the permanent stations. It will provide information associated

with sampling QC and quality assurance (QA) and with data interpretation as part of the Warren County
PCB perimeter air monitoring program.
A meteorological station has been located on-site to monitor temperature, barometric pressure, relative
humidity, wind speed, wind direction and precipitation. The data collected from the station will be
recorded and downloaded weekly. The meteorological station is co-located at the upwind sampling
location, Station No. 1 in Figure 1.
2.5 REAL TIME MONITORING
Direct reading instruments will measure real time VOC and PM-10 concentrations at the perimeter
monitoring stations. Direct monitoring will provide site supervisory personnel with the real-time data to
evaluate the adequacy of process controls and for correlation with data from the fixed stations. Results
will be compared against the action levels presented in Table 2-2. Direct readings that approach or
exceed the action levels will result in additional monitoring or other remedial activities as deemed
necessary by site personnel.
2.5.1 Direct Reading Monitoring Instruments
Direct reading instruments provide information at the time of sampling and provide the user the capability
to determine if off-site areas may be exposed to concentrations that exceed the established action levels.
Two types of direct reading instruments will be used at the work site.
2.5 .1.1 Photoionization Detector
Real-time organic vapor measurements will be made using a MiniRAE 2000 photoionization detector
(PID). As a conservative measure, real time VOC measurements will be assumed to be Benzene.
2.5.1.2 Particulate Monitor
Real-time dust monitoring will be performed using a direct reading, hand-held, aerosol monitor. AMIE
PDR-1000 dust monitor will be used. The instrument will provide data on total and respirable particulate
(PM-10) concentrations in the air.

2.5.2 Calibration and Maintenance of Monitoring Equipment
Direct reading instruments require charging and cleaning to ensure that they are functioning properly.
Equipment response will be checked daily and calibrated per the manufacturer's recommendations. Logs
for each instrument will be kept on-site. The equipment calibration form is given in Appendix C.
2.5.3 Data Collection and Recording
A consistent methodology will be used to collect real time air measurements. At each monitoring
location, the instrument's measurements will be observed for a minimum of ten seconds. If readings are
consistently below the acceptable levels, the operator will record the reading and move to the next
monitoring area. If the readings vary considerably or approach the acceptable level, sustained monitoring
will take place. For each sustained monitoring event, 20 readings at 15-second intervals will be recorded
over a five-minute span. All readings will be averaged at the end of the span and the result recorded on
the monitoring form. If the average sustained reading approaches the acceptable level, more frequent
monitoring will be scheduled. If the average sustained reading exceeds the acceptable level, the site
manger and health and safety officer will be notified immediately. Action limits for real-time monitoring
are given in Table 2-2.
All real-time monitoring data will be recorded on a specific form in the field. These forms will be kept
on-site in an air monitoring logbook and organized chronologically. Monitoring data, including date and
time of monitoring, instrument reading(s), and person's initials, will be recorded on the form. General
weather information (i.e. temperature and relative humidity) that may impact air monitoring will also be
included on the form. Examples of an air monitoring data form and calibration log are provided in
Appendix C.
Real-time monitoring results will be maintained on-site for review. Real-time results will also be
maintained in the Greenville office for preparation of trend plots and correlations with the fixed station
results.
2.6 SAMPLING EVENTS
The perimeter air monitoring program for the Warren County PCB Detoxification project will consist of
several distinct sampling events designed to provide background air quality information, to verify that the
operation of the BCD has complied with the acceptable ambient air levels presented in Section 2.3, and to
monitor the project site during full-scale operation. The sample frequency and parameters to be

monitored may be decreased during full-scale operations if early sampling events result in low or no
levels of contaminants being detected.
2.6.1 Baseline
Baseline air monitoring data was collected to compare against air monitoring data collected during the
operational phase of the project to determine the impact of the detoxification activities on ambient air
quality.
Baseline air monitoring was performed at the site from May 29 to June 3, 2001. This sampling event was
conducted prior to any construction or excavation activities. At each sampling station, samples were
collected and submitted for analysis of total PCBs, TEQ dioxin/furan, VOC, and PM-10 analysis. A
sampling duration of 48-hours was required during the baseline monitoring phase in order to achieve the
appropriate detection levels. Samples were submitted to PACE Laboratory for analysis. Sampling results
are presented in Table 2-3.
With the exception of Station #2, all of the baseline sample results were below the North Carolina
Ambient Air Quality Guidelines. The Station #2 methylene chloride concentration would exceed the
allowable annual performance standard if this concentration was maintained over a year. The 1-hr.
standard was met. Therefore, the performance standards for this project will be the North Carolina
Ambient Air Guidelines.
The values obtained for PCBs are consistent with the 1983 and 1997 tests conducted by the USEPA.
Based on observations made during the course of the baseline sampling event, the following
improvements have been made to the perimeter air monitoring program:
• PS-1 sampler motors are being replaced and a 102 mm filter size will be used to improve the
volume of airflow through the dioxin/furan and PCB sample media.
• A spare parts inventory has been included in Appendix G.
2.6.2 Shakedown
Shakedown refers to the activities for startup of the thermal treatment equipment and to concentrate PCBs
in the soil which will be treated in the Demonstration Test. Soils will be excavated and screened, then fed
to the BCD system. PCBs and D/Fs that have been desorbed and condensed will be used to spike the soil
samples for the Demonstration Test.

Shakedown activities are not expected to operate continuously. Samples will only be analyzed if
operations have occurred for a minimum of six hours during the sampling interval. Perimeter air
monitoring stations will collect 48-hour samples for PCBs and D/Fs and 24-hour samples for VOCs, and
PM-IO during shakedown. This time may be adjusted to ensure that appropriate detection levels have
been reached.
PDR-1000 and MiniRAE 2000 PID real-time monitoring equipment will measure VOC and PM-10 levels
at each perimeter monitoring station at least once per day while material handling and/or desorption
activities are being performed.
2.6.3 Demonstration Test
The Performance Demonstration Test will establish that the solid and liquid phase BCD systems, while
operating at maximum throughput, will meet material treatment standards necessary to obtain a TSCA
operating permit.
Perimeter air monitoring stations will collect 48-hour samples for each target compound once every two
days during the week of the Demonstration Test. PDR-1000 and MiniRAE 2000 PID real-time
monitoring equipment will measure VOC and PM-10 levels at each perimeter monitoring station at least
once per day. Additional real-time measurements will be taken as needed when material handling
activities are being performed.
2.6.4 Full-Scale Operation
Perimeter air monitoring will be conducted throughout the period of full-scale operation to verify that the
acceptable ambient air concentrations are not exceeded. PDR-1000 and MiniRAE 2000 PID real-time
monitoring equipment will measure VOC and PM-10 levels at each perimeter monitoring station at least
once per day. Additional real-time measurements will be taken as needed when material handling
activities are being performed or when site conditions dictate.
During the first week of full-scale operation, ambient air samples will be collected everyday at the two
downwind and one upwind location. The samples will be analyzed for total PCBs and PM-10. PCB
samples will also be analyzed for VOCs if elevated results are detected during the Demonstration Test
period. Samples will be collected over a 24-hour period in order to extract the 300 m3 of ambient air
required to meet the appropriate detection limits.

The next week of full-scale operation, samples will be collected every day at the two downwind and one
upwind monitoring location. Three sets of daily samples will be submitted each week to the laboratory
for total PCB and PM-10 analysis according to the schedule outlined in Table 2-4.
For the remainder of the full-scale operation samples will be collected by the perimeter monitoring
network once per week for total PCB and PM-10 analysis.
PDR-1000 and MiniRAE 2000 PID real-time monitoring equipment will measure VOC and PM-10 levels
at each perimeter monitoring station at least once per day throughout the full-scale operation phase of the
project. Additional measurements will be taken as needed when material handling activities are being
performed. Monitoring shall be conducted as frequently as necessary during all initial activities to
determine the effectiveness of engineering controls. Once activities have been shown to produce
consistent air monitoring results which do not exceed action levels, the frequency of the air monitoring
may be reduced at the discretion of the NCDENR.

3.0 FIELD SAMPLING PROGRAM
The perimeter air monitoring program for the Warren County Landfill detoxification project will be
performed in accordance with the sampling procedures and analysis outlined in this section.
3.1 PROPOSED SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
The perimeter air sampling program will monitor ambient concentrations of PCBs, dioxins/furans,
volatile organics and particulate matter. A summary of the sample frequency for each parameter is
included in Table 3-1 . Samples will be collected by the perimeter monitoring stations following the
standard operating procedures (SOPs) provided in Appendix D. A brief outline of the analytical SOPs to
be followed by the laboratory (PACE Analytical, Minneapolis, MN) are provided in Appendix E. A
detailed copy of the analytical SOPs are maintained in the Earth Tech project files.
3.1.1 Volatile Organic Compounds
VOCs are to be sampled and analyzed using Compendium Method TO-14. This method provides the
procedures for the measurement of subsets of VOCs that are included in the 189 hazardous air pollutants
(HAPs) listed in Title III of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The SOPs in Appendix E provides
the list of target VOCs applicable to this method.
Ambient air will be sampled at the perimeter monitoring locations by introducing air into a specially
prepared 6-liter canister using a pump and flow control arrangement to achieve a typical 15-30 pounds per
square inch gage (psig) final canister pressure. The air sample is drawn through a sampling train
comprised of components that regulate the rate and duration of sampling into the pre-evacuated and
passivated canister. After the air sample is collected, the canister valve is closed, an identification tag is
attached to the canister, and the canister is transported to the laboratory for analysis. Samples will be
analyzed using a high resolution gas chromatograph (GC) coupled to a mass spectrometry in accordance
with the analytical SOPs presented in Appendix E.
VOC samples will be collected during the baseline monitoring and Demonstration Test phases of the
detoxification project. Analytical results will be compared to the NCDENR Toxic Air Pollutant (TAP)
Guidelines for acceptable ambient air concentrations presented in Appendix B. If VOC concentrations
greater than the NCDENR TAP Guidelines are detected during the Demonstration Test phase of the
project, additional sampling may be required during full-scale operation.

Samples to be collected for each phase of the work are summarized in Table 3-2. The projected sampling
schedule is shown in Table 3-3.
3.1.2 Dioxins/Furans
Dioxins and furans will be sampled and analyzed using Compendium Method TO-9A. This method
provides the sampling and analytical procedures for the quantitative determination of polyhalogenated
dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in ambient air.
Method TO-9A uses a high volume air sampler equipped with a quartz-fiber filter and polyurethane foam
(PUF) adsorbent for sampling 600 m3 of ambient air in a 48-hour sampling period. Normally, method
TO-9A requires 300 m3 of ambient air over a 24-hour period. To allow more comprehensive sampling,
the Dioxin/Furan and PCB samples will be collected using one high volume sampler through the
Performance Demonstration. To ensure enough air is collected for both tests, the sample will be collected
over a 48-hour period. Samples will be analyzed using high-resolution gas chromatography-high
resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC-HRMS) in accordance with the analytical SOPs presented in
Appendix E. Sample results will be based on a time-weighted average.
Dioxin/furan samples will be collected only during the baseline monitoring, shakedown, and Performance
Demonstration phases of the detoxification project. Analytical results will be reported in TEQs and
compared to the standards provided in Section 2.3. TEQs are determined by summing the products of
multiplying concentrations of individual dioxin-like compounds times the corresponding toxicity
equivalency factor (TEF) for each compound. TEFs are estimates of the toxicity of a dioxin-like
compound relative to the toxicity of 2,3,7,8-TCDD.
3.1.3 PCBs
Total PCBs will be sampled and analyzed using Compendium Method TO-4A. The procedure is based
on the adsorption of chemicals from ambient air on a sorbent cartridge containing PUF using a high
volume sampler. The high volume PUF sampling procedure is applicable to atmospheres containing
concentrations from 0.001 to 50 ug/m3 over 4 to 24-hour sampling periods. Dioxin/Furan and PCB
samples will be collected using one high volume sampler during the Shakedown and Performance
Demonstration tests. To ensure enough air is collected for both tests, the sample will be collected over a
48-hour period. Dioxin/Furan samples will not be collected during full-scale operations. Therefore, PCB
samples will be collected over a 24-hour period during this time. Required sample volumes are provided
in Appendix D. Sample results will be based on a time-weighted average.

PCB samples will be collected throughout the Performance Demonstration test and full-scale operation of
the detoxification project. Samples collected during the Performance Demonstration will be 48-hour
samples that are also analyzed for D/Fs. Samples collected during full-scale operation will be 24-hour
samples, as D/Fs will no longer be analyzed. Analytical results, reported as total PCBs, will be compared
to the total PCB limit provided in Section 2.3.
3.1.4 Particulate Matter
The sampling and analytical method for the determination of particulate matter as PM-IO in the
atmosphere is referenced in Appendix M of 40 CFR Part 50. This method provides for the measurement
of the mass concentration of PM-10 in ambient air over a 24-hour period.
The sampler will draw ambient air at a constant flow rate into a specially shaped inlet that inertially
separates the suspended particulate matter into one or more size fractions within the PM-10 size range.
Each size fraction in the PM-10 size range is then collected on a separate filter over the specified
sampling period. Each filter is weighed before and after use to determine the net weight gain due to
collected PM-10. The total volume of air sample, measured at the actual ambient temperature and
pressure, is determined from the measured flow rate and the sampling time. The mass concentration of
PM-10 in the ambient air is computed as the total mass of collected particles in the PM-10 size range
divided by the volume of air sampled.
PM-10 samples will be collected throughout the baseline monitoring, Demonstration Testing, and full-
scale operation of the detoxification project. Analytical results will be compared to the PM-10 limit
provided in Table 2-2 and the PDR-1000 readings.
3.1.5 Trip Blanks
A trip blank will be collected after every 20 samples to monitor sample integrity during shipment to the
laboratory. This equates to one trip blank for D/Fs and VOCs and ten for PCBs and PM-10 samples.
Trip blanks will be collected for particulate, PCBs, and Dioxins/Furans during the shakedown period and
for particulate and PCBs during the full-scale operations.
3.2 SAMPLE HANDLING AND CUSTODY
Sample collection and sample custody are designed so that field custody of samples will be fully and
continuously maintained and documented. These procedures provide complete identification and
documentation of the sampling event and the sample chain-of-custody. When used in conjunction with

the laboratory's custody procedures and the sample documentation, these procedures will establish full
legal custody and allow complete traceability of a sample.
3.2.1 Sample Containers and Shipment
Sample containers and filter media will be furnished by a commercial supplier and verified to have
undergone the approved cleaning procedures. The source and lot numbers of the sample collection media
used in the sampling event will be recorded in the project field logbook for each sample collected.
Sample collection media shipped directly from the supplier will utilize the airway bill receipt or packing
slip to serve as the initiation of the chain-of-custody. Once the sample collection media is received, a
formal chain-of-custody form will be completed (Appendix F).
3.2.2 Labeling
All sample collection media will be labeled with an identification number that uniquely identifies the
sample. The sample identification number and the specific sampling time, date, parameter, and location
will be logged in the field logbook. Sampling locations will be referenced to a site location denoted on
Figure 1.
Following the collection of the sample, the sample identification number and other information on the
sample label will be verified against the entry in the field logbook and recorded on the chain-of-custody
form. An example identification number for samples collected at Upwind Station No. 1 on January 1,
2002 would be as follows:
WCSI-010102
Where:
WCS = Warren County Station
1 = Sample Station Number
010102 = Date
Duplicate samples collected from the roving station will be designated with an "A" following the date.
3.2.3 Packing and Shipment
Following sample label verification, the samples will be stored in a refrigerator until they are ready to be
shipped. They will then be packed as required by the sampling SOPs (Appendix D) and stored on blue

ice to maintain temperatures less than or equal to 4 °C until receipt by the laboratory. Samples shall be
maintained in the sampler's presence or in a secure location for the remainder of the daily sampling
activities, or until custody if transferred to another responsible party. A sample is considered to be in a
person's custody whenever it is in a person's physical possession, when it is in view of the sampler or
responsible party, or when it is in a secure location. Custody of a sample is also maintained when the
sample is shipped in a container that is properly sealed against tampering with custody seals.
Following packing, the chain-of-custody form will be signed as "relinquished" by the principal sampler or
responsible party. The form will be sealed in a waterproof plastic bag and placed inside the cooler. The
cooler lid will be sealed with tape. Two custody seals will be signed and dated, affixed about two comers
of the cooler across the seal of the lid and additionally covered with clear tape.
The sample coolers will typically be shipped by an overnight express carrier to the laboratory. A copy of
the bill of lading will be retained to become part of the sample custody documentation.
3.2.4 Document Control
Earth Tech will implement a computerized Environmental Information Management System (EIMS) to
manage the sampling and analytical data for this investigation. The system was designed to minimize or
eliminate the need for manual data entry (i.e., electronic transfer of both field and laboratory data). The
system was also designed to provide document control, document tracking, data validation, relational
query capabilities, statistical analyses, computer programming, password protection of information, and
sophisticated reporting capabilities.
3.2.5 Data Validation and Usability
Earth Tech will perform independent quality control checks of both field and laboratory procedures that
were used during sample collection and analysis. The quality control will verify that the data collected
are of appropriate quality for the intended data use and that the Data Quality Objectives (DQOs) are met.
The steps and guidelines that will be followed during the validation process are adapted from USEPA
documents entitled Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste (SW-846), 3rd Edition (USEPA, May 1997).
Standard data validation flags are given in Table 3-4.

4.0 DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES
DQOs are statements of expectations of the performance capabilities of the entire monitoring program
that aid in the environmental decision making process. DQOs specify the data type, quality, quantity, and
uses needed to make decisions and are the basis for designing data collection activities.
The DQO for the perimeter air monitoring program is to provide defensible results that show the
concentration of contaminants at upwind and downwind sampling stations for the purpose of determining
the potential impacts of the PCB detoxification project on ambient air quality leaving the project site.
Target compounds will be monitored near the property line to show compliance with the acceptable
ambient air concentrations listed in Section 2.3.
The assessment of data quality indicators for either sampling or analysis involves the evaluation of five
indicators: precision, accuracy, representativeness, completeness, and comparability (PARCC). The
indicators are commonly referred to as the PARCC parameters. The standards to be used to evaluate the
PARCC parameters for the perimeter air monitoring samples are provided in Table 4-1.
4.1 PRECISION
Precision measures the reproducibility of measurements under a given set of conditions. Specifically, it is
the quantitative measure of the variability of a group of measurements compared to the average value.
The overall precision of measurement data is a mixture of sampling and analytical factors. Analytical
precision is much easier to control and quantify than sampling precision. The analytical results from
laboratory replicates provide data on analytical precision. Replicate samples collected from the roving
monitoring station will be used to determine precision.
4.2 ACCURACY
Accuracy measures the bias in a measurement system. Accuracy is difficult to measure for the entire data
collection activity. Sources of error are the sampling process, sample handling, sample preparation, field
contamination, preservation, sample matrix, and analysis techniques. In order to monitor these potential
sources of error, QC samples are analyzed at the laboratory. Laboratory control samples (LCS) are
samples comprised of the appropriate sample collection media that are spiked with known concentrations
of target analytes. The samples are then digested/extracted and analyzed along with the regular samples
to monitor the overall performance of all steps in the analysis, including sample preparation. The percent
recovery (accuracy) and relative percent difference (precision) parameters are determined from LCS
samples. The use of surrogate and matrix spikes in environmental samples evaluates matrix interferences

in the environmental samples. Laboratory blanks are used to determine the existence and magnitude of
laboratory contamination problems. Trip blanks are used to monitor sample integrity during sample
shipment.
4.3 REPRESENTATIVENESS
Representativeness expresses the degree to which sample data accurately and precisely represent a
characteristic of a population, parameter variations at a sampling point, or an environmental condition.
Representativeness is a qualitative parameter which is most concerned with the proper design of the
sampling program. The representativeness criterion is best satisfied by making certain that sampling
locations are selected properly and a sufficient number of samples are collected. The two downwind and
one upwind stations are sufficient.
4.4 COMPARABILITY
Comparability is a qualitative parameter expressing the confidence with which one data set can be
compared with another. Duplicate samples are routinely collected and analyzed for this reason. Sample
data should be comparable with other measurement data for similar samples and sample conditions. This
goal is achieved through using standard techniques to collect and analyze representative samples and
reporting analytical results in appropriate units. Comparability is limited to the other PARCC parameters
because only when precision and accuracy are known can data sets be compared with confidence.
4.5 COMPLETENESS
Completeness is defined as the percentage of measurements made which are judged to be valid
measurements. The completeness goal is essentially the same for all data uses: that a sufficient amount of
valid data be generated. The frequency of analyses is adequate for the anticipated operating conditions
but may be increased if the ambient air levels are exceeded.

Particulate Readings: Appendix VIII of the Site Health and Safety Plan contains the
calculation of PCBs in dust using the highest concentration of PCBs detected in the soil
before the PCB exposure limit of 0.5 mg/m3 (OSHA 8-hr TWA limit) is exceeded. It was
calculated that 14 7 mg/m3 of dust would be permissible before the PCB exposure limit
was exceeded. Since this exceeds the OSHA respirable dust exposure limit of 5.0 mg/m3,
the NC annual standard will be the action limit.
As a conservative measure, the PID readings are assumed to be Benzene. Action levels
are based on the OHSA 8-hr TWA limits.

Precision Co-located sampler will be rotated to each monitoring location at
the schedule specified in Table 3-1 of the AMP to allow for the
collection of duplicate samples. The target is to have the
duplicate sample results within +/-20% of the permanent sampler
results.
Accuracy Trip blanks for PM, PCBs, and dioxin/furan samples. VOC
sample canisters are certified as clean prior to shipment to field.
LCS samples for VOCs and PCBs.
Co-located sampler will be rotated to each monitoring location at
the schedule specified in Table 3-1 of the AMP to allow for the
collection of duplicate samples. The target is to have the
duplicate sample results within +/-20% of the permanent sampler
results.
Representativeness Correct location of upwind and downwind sampling stations.
Sufficient number of samples to be collected. See sampling
schedule in Table 3-1.
Comparability Co-located sampler will be rotated to each monitoring location at
the schedule specified in Table 3-1 of the AMP to allow for the
collection of duplicate samples. The target is to have the
duplicate sample results within +/-20% of the permanent sampler
results.
Completeness Goal is that greater than 75% of samples will meet validation
requirements.

Ambient Air Sampling For Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Using the Thermo Andersen A VOC Sampling
Field Sampling Procedures
SCOPE
1.1 This document describes calibration and sampling procedure for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ambient
air. The method is based on collection of whole air samples in pre-evacuated passivated stainless steel canisters. The
VOCs are subsequently analyzed in the laboratory. Analytical procedures are described in a separate statement-of-
work (SOW). This method presents procedures for sampling into canisters which are initially below atmospheric
pressure.
1.2 The VOCs identified at the Warren County PCB Landfill Detoxification and Redevelopment Project have been
successfully sampled and analyzed using this sampling procedure. Detection limits have been reported to be 0.2 ppb
for each target analyte. By definition, a detection limit is a statistically determined value indicating the minimum
concentration of an analyte that can be identified and measured in a sample matrix with 99% confidence that the
analyte concentration is greater than zero. This value varies with the precision of the replicate measurements used
for the calculation.

Using Passivated Canister Sampling and Gas Chromatographic Analysis, USEPA, June, 2000.
3.0 SUMMARY OF METHOD
3.1 The subatmospheric to positive pressure sampling method uses an initially evacuated canister during sample
collection. A sample of ambient air is drawn through a sampling train comprised of components that regulate the
rate and duration of sampling into a pre-evacuated, fassivated, six liter stainless steel canister at a rate of
approximately -7 cubic centimeters per minute ( cm /min) for a 24-hour sampling period. This allows a total sample
volume of greater than 10 liters to be collected.
3.2 At the end of the sampling period, the canister valve is closed, the pump is shut off an identification tag is
attached to the canister, and the canister is transported to a pre-determined laboratory for analysis. Laboratory
analysis is performed by a gas chromatograph (GC) coupled to a mass spectrometer (MS) operating in the select ion
monitoring (SIM).
4.0 SIGNIFICANCE
4.1 Volatile organic compounds are generally classified as those organics having saturation vapor pressures greater
than 0.1 millimeters (mm) mercury (Hg) at 25°C. Volatile organic compounds are emitted into the atmosphere from

a variety of sources including diffusion from waste disposal sources, manufacturing processes, and use of various
products, appliances, and building materials. Many of these VOC emissions are toxic; therefore, their determination
in ambient air is necessary to assess human health impacts.
4.2 Volatile organic compounds will be collected in pre-evacuated stainless steel passivated six liter canisters using
a pump and flow control system to fill the canisters. Collection of ambient air samples in canisters provides:
convenient integration of samples over a specific time period, (24 hours), remote sampling and central analysis, ease
of storing and shipping samples, unattended sample collection, analysis of samples from multiple sites with one
analytical system, and collection of sufficient sample volume to allow assessment of precision and/or analysis of
samples by several analytical systems. However, care must be exercised in selecting, cleaning and handling sample
canisters and sampling apparatus to avoid losses or contamination of the samples.
4.3 Interior surfaces of the canisters must be treated by the passivation process in which a pure chrome-nickel oxide
is formed on the interior surfaces. It has been demonstrated that samples of most of the compounds listed in Table 1
and stored in passivated canisters are stable up to 30 days.

8.0 SAMPLING SYSTEM AND SAMPLING PROCEDURES
8.1 System Description
SOP-VOC
05/29/02
8.1.1 In preparation for subatmospheric to positive pressure sample collection in a canister, the canister is evacuated
in a laboratory to an initial absolute pressure of 0.05 mm Hg. When opened to the atmosphere containing the VOCs
to be sampled, the ambient air sample is pumped into the canister. This technique will be used to collect time
integrated samples for a duration of 24 hours taken through a mechanical flow controller at a rate of approximately 7
cm3/min.
8.1.2 The mass flow controller maintains a constant flow rate from full vacuum to 25 psig.
8.2 Calibration and Set-Up Procedures
8.2.1 A mass flow controller is set to maintain a constant flow rate of approximately 7 cm3/min into the canister so
the canister is filled to positive pressure over the desired sample period. The required flow rate can be calculated by:
F = (P x V)/(T x 60)
where:
F = flow rate, cubic centimeters per minute (cm3/min)
P = final canister pressure, atmospheres absolute. P is approximately equal to 1.66 atmospheres
V = volume of the canister, cm3
T = Sample period, hours
8.2.2 The mass flow controller is certified accurate by the manufacturer prior to field deployment and before
sampling utilizing a primary standard (i.e., moving bubble meter or electronic bubble meter).
8.2.3 For automatic operation, the timer is wired to start and stop the pump (optional) and to control the solenoid
valve by opening the valve when starting the pump and closing the valve when stopping the pump.
8.2.4 The connecting lines between the sample inlet and the canister should be as short as possible to minimize their
volume. The flow rate as provided by the pump into the canister should remain constant at about -7 cm3 /min over
the entire sampling period.
8.2.5 Prior to use, each canister and sampling system must be certified clean and pass a humid zero air certification
(see Analytical SOW). All tubing shall be checked carefully for leaks.
8.3 Sampling Procedure
[Note: Prior to collection of sample, the mass flow controller is calibrated using a Hayes bubble flow meter or
electronic flow device which has been calibrated to a primary standard. The calibrated flow is indicated on the

Ambient Air Sampling For PM-10 Suspended Particulate Matter
Using the Thermo Andersen PM-10 Sampler
Field Sampling Procedures
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
[Note: Operational procedures will vary according to the sampler model and options ( e.g., the
types of Jlow-rate controller and timer) selected for use in the monitoring program. Consult the
instrument manual before putting the sampler into operation. Significant differences exist in the
field operation of the two types of flow-controlling systems and, hence, in the determination of
operational flow rates.]
The following assumptions are made concerning the operation of the Andersen PM-10 High
Volume Particulate Sampler:
-The sampler has been calibrated according to calibration field procedures;
The average actual flow rate for MFC samplers is calculated by determining the
following:
• The average of the initial and final manometer readings of the exit orifice plenum
pressure ( or the average flow recorder reading).
• The average ambient temperature (Tav).
• The average ambient barometric pressure (Pav) during the sampling period.
These values are then applied to the sampler's calibration relationship. The 4" pressure flow
recorders often supplied with Andersen PM-10 samplers generally are not sufficiently accurate
and are not recommended for quantitative sampler pressure or flow rate measurements. These
flow recorders should be used only for non-quantitative determination that the flow was
approximately constant and uninterrupted over the sampling period. The flow recorder may be
connected in parallel with the manometer or other pressure measuring device using a tee or "Y"
tubing connector.
2.0 PRE-SAMPLING FILTER PREPARATION PROCEDURES.
[Note: Most high-volume samplers have been designed to accept filter cassettes. Loading these
cassettes in the laboratory will minimize damage; however, if extreme care is exercised, they can
be loaded at the site when ambient conditions permit. Some basic rules to follow when handling
quartzfiber filters:
• Wear protective gloves when handling filters to avoid contaminating the filters with
body oils and moisture;
• Keep the filters in protective folders or boxes. Never bend or fold unexposed filters.
• The analytical laboratory (and/or filter manufacturer) will give each filter an ID
number. Because it is extremely difficult to see the "up" side of a quartzfilter (i.e., the
side with the slightly rougher texture), the filters should be consistently labeled on

one side. When a Jilter that has been labeled on its "down" side is folded for transport
to the laboratory, its sample number will be readily accessible for documentation on
laboratory log sheets upon arrival at the laboratory.]
2.1 Inspect the filter for any pinholes, tears, or irregularities. If found, reject and select another
filter. Record the selected filter identification number (ID) on the back side of the recorder chart
and on the PM-10 Field Test Data Sheet (FTDS).
2.2 Following the manufacturer's instructions, carefully load the pre-weighted filter in the filter
cassette. The filter should be centered on the wire screen so that the gasket will form an airtight
seal on the outer edge of the filter when the faceplate is in place. Poorly aligned filters show
uneven white borders after exposure. Care should be taken to ensure that the filter cassette is not
excessively tightened, as the filter may stick or the gasket may be permanently damaged. Check
that the gasket is in good condition and has not deteriorated. If properly placed, the number
should be against the screen support or facing down and not visible to the tester as the filter is
installed.
2.3 Following the manufacturer's instructions, loosen the nuts that secure the inlet to the base and
gently rock back the inlet to allow access to the filter support sscreen.
2.4 Examine the filter support screen. If the screen appears dirty, wipe it clean. If the filter
cassette is equipped with a protective cover, remove it and place the loaded cassette in position
on the sampler support screen. Tighten the thumb nuts to hold the filter cassette securely. Check
that the gasket is in good condition and has not deteriorated.
[Note: Tighten the thumb nuts evenly on alternative corners to properly align and seat the seat
the gasket. The nuts should be only hand-tightened because too much compression can damage
the sealing gasket.]
3.0. SAMPLING PROCEDURES.
3.1 Open the front door of the sample and examine the flow recorder. Remove any moisture
inside by wiping it with a clean cloth. Record the sampler SIN, filter ID number, site location,
and sampling data on the back of a clean chart and install the chart on the flow recorder.
[Note: Charts used for PM-JO samplers normally have square-root-function scales; however,
linear-J'f/}ction scales may be used. If charts with linear-function scales are used, then replace I
with (I) in subsequent equations.]
[Note: When installing the chart, do not bend the pen arm beyond its limits of travel. Raise the
pen head by pushing on the very top of the pen air (or by using the pen lift). Be sure that the
chart tab is centered on the slotted drive to ensure full 360 degree rotation in 24 h. Make sure
that the chart edges are properly located beneath the retainers. Lower the pen arm and tap the
recorder face lightly to make certain that the pen is free.]
[Note: During periods of inclement weather, the chart tends to stick to the recorder face. Two
charts can be installed simultaneously to enable the sample (top, annotated) chart to rotate
freely.]
3.2 Using a coin or slotted screwdriver, advance the chart and check to see that the pen rests on
zero--the smallest circle diameter. If necessary, adjust the zero set screw while gently tapping on
the side of the flow recorder. If a chart with a linear function scale is used, some positive zero
offset may be desirable to allow for normal variations in zero readings. Also position pen so
correct time is indicated underneath pen.
3.3 Tum on sampler and allow it to equilibrate to operating temperature (3-5 min).
3.4 While the sampler is equilibrating, record the following parameters on the FTDS:

3.5 Inspect the manometer for crimps or cracks in its connecting tubing. Open the valves and
blow gently through the tubing of the manometer while watching for the free flow of the fluid.
3.6 Adjust the manometer's shding scale so that its zero line is at the bottom of the meniscuses.
3.7 Measure the initial exit orifice plenum pressure (Pex) using an oil or water manometer, with a
0-200-mm (0-8") range and a minimum scale division of 1 mm (0.1 "). Record the initial Pex on
the PM-10 FfDS. If Pex is substantially different ( +/-10 % ) than for previous samples or
otherwise appears abnormal, carry out a full multi-point calibration check with the NIST
traceable transfer standard.
3.8 Verify that the flow recorder (if used) is operational and that the pen is inking. Note the flow
recorder reading. If it is substantially different than for previous samples or otherwise appears
abnormal, carry out a QC flow-check as documented in the site-specific calibration procedures
using a NIST traceable transfer standard.
3.9 Sample for 24-hr ( +/-1 Hr), observing periodically the flow rate through the sampler as
indicated on the Dickson recorder. Periodically observe the operation of the PM-10 Andersen
High Volume Sampler and recorded needed information on the FTDS.
3.10 At the end of the sampling period, tum the sampler off. Check the time indicated by the
time-set pointer on the flow recorder. If it is in error, rotate the chart clockwise by inserting a
screwdriver or coin in the slotted drive in the center of the chart face until the correct time is
indicated.
3.11 Reset the elapsed time meter to 0000 min and the sampler timer for the next run day. Close
the sampler door. Taking care not to crimp the vacuum tubmg or any power cords. The sampler
is now ready to sample ambient air.
4.0 FILTER RECOVERY PROCEDURE.
4.1 As soon as possible after sampling, the operator should return to the monitoring site to
retrieve the exposed filter. Particle loss or filter damage will result if the filter is left in the
sampler for extended periods.
4.2 Once at the sampler, tum on the sampler (if not already on) and allow it to equilibrate to
operating temperature (3-5 min).
4.3 Measure the final Pex and record it on the PM-10 FTDS.
4.4 Tum off the sampler.
4.5 Open the door of the sampler, remove the flow recorder chart, and examine the recorder race.
If the trace indicates extensive flow fluctuations, investigate and correct before the next sampling
day. Attach recorder chart to PM-10 FfDS for that specific sample location.
4.6 Record the following parameters on the PM-10 FTDS:
• Elapsed time of the sampling period, min.

{Note: Tav and Pav readings may be recorded or estimated on site or may be obtained from a
nearby U.S. National' Weather Service Forecast Office or airport weather station. Barometric
pressure readings obtained from remote sources must be at station pressure (not corrected to sea
level) and they may have to be corrected for differences between evaluations. Seasonal average
temperature (Ts) and barometric pressure (Ps) may be substituted for Tav and Pav, respectively.
Care must be taken, however, that the actual conditions at the site can be reasonablx represented
by such averages. Therefore, seasonal values may represent actual values within 2~C and 40
mm Hg.]
5.0 CALCULATIONS
[NOTE: The calculations presented in this section assume that the sampler has been calibrated
in terms of actual temperature and barometric pressure and that the seasonal values is used only
to determine the sampler's operational flow rate during a sample period. Although additional
calculations to convert the sampler's calibration curve to seasonal can be made, the error
represented by this method is negligible.]
5.1 Calculate and record the average actual flow rate (as determined by the sampler's calibration
relationship) on the PM-10 FfDS and on the back of the chart. Attach the chart to the data sheet.

5.2 Observe conditions around the monitoring site; note any activities that may affect filter
particle loading (e.g., _J?aving, mowing, fire) and record this information on the PM-10 FfDS.
5.3 Raise the sampler mlet and remove the filter cassette. Replace the cassette protective cover (if
so equipped). To avoid particle loss, be careful to keep the cassette as level as possible.
5.4 The sampler may now be readied for the next run day.
5.5 Keeping the filter cassette level, carefully transport it, the PM-10 FTDS and the flow recorder
chart to the laboratory sample custodian. Be sure to fill out Chain-of-Custody if needed.

Ambient Air Sampling For Dioxin/Furans (D/Fs) and Total Polychlorinated
Biphenyls (PCBs),
Using the Thermo Andersen PS-1 Sampler
Field Sampling Procedures
1.0SCOPE
1.1 This document describes sampling procedures for dioxin/furans (D/Fs) and total polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) in the ambient air. A combination of quartz filter and adsorbent cartridge will be used in conjunction with a
high volume sampler. The D/Fs and PCBs are subsequently analyzed in the laboratory by a gas chromatograph
coupled to either a high resolution gas chromatograph/high resolution mass spectrometer (HRGC/HRMS) operating
in the select ion monitoring mode (GC/MS/SIM) for analysis of D/Fs or to an electron capture (EC) detector for
analysis of total PCBs. The analytical procedures are described in separate statement of works (SOWs).
1.2 A combination of filter and polyurethane foam (PUF) will be used in the sampling head of the sampler. The
combination of a filter and PUF cartridge are easier to handle in the field and maintain better flow characteristics
during sampling than using organic resins as the adsorbent media.
1.3 D/Fs and total PCBs have been successfully sampled and analyzed using this sampling procedure. Detection
limits ofpicograms to nanograms per cubic meter have been achieved using this methodology. By definition, a
detection limit is a statistically determined value indicating the minimum concentration of an analyte that can be
identified and measured in a sample matrix with 99% confidence that the analyte concentration is greater than zero.
This value varies with the precision of the replicate measurements used for the calculation.

Atmosphere (High-volume Method).
3.0 SUMMARY OF METHOD
3.1 The cartridge based sampling method uses a modification of a traditional high volume sampler containing a filter
and an adsorbent cartridge for sample collection. A sample of ambient air is drawn through a sampler containing a
filter and PUF adsorbent cartridge at a rate of approximately -0.22 m3/min for a 24-hour sampling period. This
allows more than 300 m3 of ambient air to pass through the sampling system inorder to achieve required detection
limits.
3.2 At the end of the sampling period the blower motor is shut off. The amount of air sampled through the filter and
adsorbent cartridge is recorded. The filter and cartridge are wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in an appropriately
labeled container and shipped, under blue ice ( < 4 C), along with a blank filter and adsorbent cartridge to the
analytical laboratory for analysis. Laboratory analysis will be performed utilizing a gas chromatograph (GC)
coupled to either a high resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS) operating in the select ion monitoring (SIM) mode
for D/Fs or an EC detector for total PCBs.
4.0 SIGNIFICANCE
4.1 D/Fs and PCBs are organic compounds that are generally classified as having vapor pressure between 10-7 to 10-
1 millimeters (mm) mercury (Hg) at 25 C. Several documents have been published which describe sampling and
analytical approaches for this group of compounds. The attractive features of these methods have been combined in
this procedure. This method has been validated in the field; however, one must use caution when employing it for
specific applications.
4.2 The relatively low concentration these analytes in the environment requires use of high volume (-0.22 m3 /min)
sampling techniques to acquire sufficient sample for analysis. Some of these analytes can be collected efficiently on
filter media alone due to their relative low volatility, but may migrate off the filter over time. Therefore, this method
utilizes both a filter and a backup adsorbent cartridge which provide for efficient collection of most or all of this
group of analytes.
4.0 DEFINITIONS
4.1 Definitions used in this document are consistent with ASTM Methods D1356, D1605-60, E260, B255, and
EPA's Compendium Methods.
4.2 All abbreviations and symbols are defined within this document at point of use.
5.0SAFETY
5.1 Many of these analytes have been classified as carcinogens. Care must be exercised when working with these
substances This method does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use during
sampling and sample recovery.
5.2 It is the responsibility of the user to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine
the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. The user should be thoroughly familiar with the chemical and
physical properties of targeted substances.

8.0 SAMPLER CALIBRATION
8.1 Calibration and Set-Up Procedures
8.1.1 Each sampler will be calibrated when new; after major repairs or maintenance, whenever any audit point
deviates from the calibration curve by more than 7%; when a different sample collection media, other than that
which the sampler as originally calibrated to, will be used for sampling; or at the frequency specified by the
manufacturer. Calibration kits including calibration curve and calibration orifices standards.
8.1.2 Initial five point calibration of the high volume sampling system utilizing calibrated flow rate transfer standard
must be conducted. An initial five point calibration will be performed on all PS-1 samplers utilizing the calibrated
orifice flow rate transfer standard in the calibration kit. The five point orifice calibration curve for each individual
PS-1 sampler will accompany the monitor as part of the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QNQC) activities
associated with this project. The calibration procedure follows.
8.1.2.1 Obtain the "certification of calibration" supplied by the manufacturer. This contains the orifice flow rate
transfer standard calibration curve and the calibration worksheet in the calibration kit.
8.1.2.2 If not already provided, calculate and record [ fiH(Pl/Pstd) (298/T1)]½ value for each standard flow rate.
These values and the definition of terms are taken from the calibration curve provided by the manufacturer.
8.1.2.3 If not already provided, plot each [ fiH(Pl/Pstd) (298/T1)t value (y-axis) versus its corresponding standard
flow rate (x-axis), Qstd, on arithmetic graph paper. Draw a line of best fit between the individual plotted points and
calculate the linear regression slope (ml) and intercept (bl).
8.1.2.4 Prior to initial multi-point calibration, a "dummy" adsorbent cartridge and filter are placed in the sampling
head and the sampling motor is activated. The flow control valve is fully opened and the voltage variator is adjusted
so that a sample flow rate corresponding to 110% of the desired flow rate (typically -0.22 m3 /min) is indicated on
the magnehelic gauge (based on the previously obtained multi-point calibration curve). The motor is allowed to
warm up for IO minutes and then the flow control valve is adjusted to achieve the desired flow rate. Turn off the
sampler. The ambient temperature and barometric pressure should be recorded on the Calibration Test Data Sheet.
8.1.2.5 The flow rate transfer standard is placed on the sampling head, and a manometer is connected to the tap on
the transfer standard using a length of tubing. Properly align the retaining rings with filter holder and secure by
tightening the three screw clamps. Adjust the zero (if needed) using the zero adjust screw on the face of the
magnehelic gauge.
8.1.2.6 Turn on the sampler and adjust flow rate to 70 as indicated on the magnehelic gauge. To leak test, block the

orifice with a rubber stopper, wide duct tape, or other suitable means. Seal the pressure port with a rubber cap or
similar device.
[Note: Avoid naming the sampler for too long a time with the orifice blocked. This precaution will reduce the
chance that the motor will be overheated due to the lack of cooling air. Such overheating can shorten the life of the
motor.]
8.1.2.7 Gendy rock the orifice transfer standard and listen for a whistling sound that would indicate a leak in the
system. A leak-free system will not produce an upscale response on the sampler's magnehelic. Leaks are usually
caused either by damaged or missing gaskets or by cross-threading and/or not screwing sample cartridge together
tightly. All leaks must be eliminated before proceeding with the calibration. When the system is determined to be
leak-free, turn off the sampler and unblock the orifice.
8.1.2.8 Now remove the rubber stopper or plug from the calibrator orifice and use the voltage variator to set the
magnehelic to seventy (70) inches water.
8.1.2.9 Attach a manometer to the pressure tap on the side of the calibrator orifice (manometer range 0-16 inches
water and maximum scale division of 0.1 inch).
8.1.2.10 Record the manometer reading under YI and the magnehelic reading under Y2 on the PS-I sampler
calibration form. For the first reading the magnehelic should still be at 70 inches as set above.
8.1.2.11 Set the magnehelic to 60 inches by using the sampler's flow control valve. Record the manometer (YI) and
magnehelic (Y2) readings on the Calibration Test Data Sheet.
8.1.2.12 Repeat the above steps using magnehelic settings of 50, 40, 30, 20, and
IO inches. Record observations of YI and Y2 on the Calibration Test Data Sheet.
8.1.2.13 Turn the voltage variator to maximum power, open the flow control valve, and confirm that the magnehelic
reads at least I 00 inches. Turn off the sampler and confirm that the magnehelic reads zero.
8.1.2.14 Read and record the following parameters on the Calibration Test Data Sheet:
• data, job number, and operator's signature;
• sampler serial number;
• ambient barometric pressure;
• ambient temperature; and
• orifice serial number and calibration relationship for intercept (Bl), slope (M 1), and
coefficient (CCI).
8.1.2.15 Remove the "dummy" cartridge and calibration transfer standard from the sampler.
8.1.2.16 Calculate the Orifice Manometer Calculated Values (Y3) manometer reading using the following equation:
Y3 Calculation
Y3 = [Yl(Pa/760)(298/fa = 273))112
Record the values obtained in Column Y3 on the Calibration Test Data Sheet.
8.1.2.17 Calculate the Sampler Magnehelic Calculate Values (Y4) using the following equation:
Y 4 Calculation
Y4 = [Y2(Pa/760)(298/fa = 273))112
Record the value obtained in Column Y 4 on the Calibration Test Data Sheet.

8.1.2.19 Perform a linear regression of the values in Column XI (as x) and the values in Column Y4 (as Y). Record
the relationship for correlation (CC2), intercept (B2) and slope (M2) on the Calibration Test Data Sheet.
8.1.2.20 Using the following equation, calculate a set point (SP) for the manometer to represent a desired flow rate:
where:
Set point (SP)= [(Pstd)(Ta)/(Tstd)(Pa)][M2 (desired flow rate)+ B2]2
Pa= Expected atmospheric pressure (Pa), mm Hg;
Ta = Expected atmospheric temperature (Ta), 0c;
M2 = Slope of developed relationship;
B2 = Intercept of developed relationship;
Tstd = Temperature standard, 25°C;
Pstd = Pressure standard, 760 mm Hg-
8.1.2.21 During monitoring, one can calculate a flow rate using the following equations:

8.1.2.22 Record the periodic readings for calculated X2 values on the Field Test Data Sheet.
8.2.2 Single-Point Calibration of The High Volume Sampling System Utilizing Calibration Flow Rate Transfer
Standard
8.1.3 Single-point Calibration Procedure
8.1.3.1 Once the sampler is placed in the field, a single point flow audit check using a calibrated orifice is performed
before and after each sampling period utilizing the calibration flow rate transfer standard.
8.1.3.2 An empty glass cartridge is placed in the sampling head and the sampling motor is activated. The flow
control valve is fully opened and the voltafe variator is adjusted so that a sample flow rate corresponding to 110%
of the desired flow rate (typically -0.22 m /min) is indicated on the magnehelic gauge based on the previously
obtained multi-point calibration curve. The motor is allowed to warm up for 5 minutes and then the flow control
valve is adjusted to achieve the desired flow rate. Turn off the sampler. The ambient temperature and barometric
pressure should be recorded on the Field Test Data Sheet.
8.1.3.3 The calibrated orifice assembly is placed on the sampling head. Properly align the retaining rings with filter
holder and secure by tightening the three screw clamps. Using tubing, attach one manometer connector to the
pressure tap of the transfer standard. Leave the other connector open to the atmosphere.
8.1.3.4 Adjust the manometer midpoint by sliding the movable scale until the zero point corresponds with the water
memscus. Gently shake or tap to remove any air bubble or liquid remaining on tubing connectors. If additional
liquid is required, remove tubing connector and add clean water.
8.1.3.5 Turn on high volume motor and let it run for five minutes. Record the pressure differential indicated, ~H. in

inches of water. Be sure a stable iiH has been established.
8.1.3.6 Record the observed magnehelic gauge reading (liM) in inches of water. Be sure stabilized iiM has been
established prior to recording.
8.1.3.7 Using the manufacturer provided flow rate transfer standard curve, calculate standard flow rate, Qst, from
the observed iiH.
8.1.3.8 Using the previously established orifice calibration curve, calculate the indicated Qstd for the observed iiH.
8.1.3.9 Remove flow rate transfer standard and dummy adsorbent cartridge and filter assembly.
8.1.3.10 Comparison of flows should be within +/-10%. Indicate results on Field Test Data Sheet.
8.2 Sampling Procedure
8.2.1 After the sampling system has been assembled, calibrated and flow checked as described in the previous
sections, it can be used to collect air samples.
8.2.2 Collocated samplers will be used to determine sampling and analytical biases during the sampling program.
One representative collocated sampler will be used for each monitoring event.
8.2.3 The sampler should be located in an unobstructed area, at least two meters from any obstacle to air flow. The
exhaust hose should be stretched out in the downwind direction to prevent recycling of air into the sample head. The
blower motor should be in the off configuration.
8.2.4 With the empty sample module removed from the sampler, rinse all sample contact area using reagent grade
hexane in a Teflon squeeze bottle. Allow the hexane to evaporate from the module before loading the samplers.
8.2.5 Detach the lower chamber of the rinsed sampling module. While wearing disposable, clean, lint-free nylon or
powder-free surgical gloves, remove a clean glass cartridge/adsorbent from its container (wide mouthed glass jar
with a Teflon-lined lid) and unwrap its aluminum foil covering. The foil should be replaced in the sample container
to be reused after the sample has been collected.
8.2.6 Insert the cartridge into the lower chamber and tightly re-attach it to the module.
8.2.7 Using clean rinsed (hexane) Teflon tipped forceps, carefully place a clean fiber filter atop the filter holder and
secure in place by clamping the filter holder ring over the filter using the three screw clamps. Place new PUF
cartridge in sample holder. Ensure that all module connections are tightly assembled.
[Note: Failure to do so could result in air flow leaks at poorly sealed locations which could affect sample
representativeness. Ideally, sample module loading and unloading should be conducted in a controlled environment
or at least in a centralized sample processing area so that the sample handling variables can be minimized.]
8.2.8 Adjust the flow control valve to the desired flow as indicated by magnehelic gauge reading and as determined
from the calibration chart. Once the flow is properly adjusted, care should be taken not to inadvertently alter its
setting.
8.2.9 The voltage variator and flow control valve are placed at the settings used in the multi-point or single point
calibration. The elapsed time meter is activated and the start time is recorded. The flow (magnehelic gauge setting)
is adjusted, if necessary, using the flow control valve. The magnehelic gauge reading is recorded.
8.2.10 The magnehelic gauge reading will be recorded every six hours during the sampling period. The calibration
curve is used to calculate the flow rate. At a minimum, ambient temperature, barometric pressure, and magnehelic
gauge reading are recorded at the beginning and end of the sampling period.
8.2.11 At the end of the desired 24 hour sampling period, the magnehelic gauge reading is recorded and then the
power is turned off. Carefully remove the sampling head containing the filter and adsorbent cartridge to a clean area.
8.2.12 While wearing disposable lint-free nylon or surgical gloves, remove the adsorbent cartridge from the lower
module chamber and lay it on the retained aluminum foil in which the sample was originally wrapped.
8.2.13 Carefully remove the glass fiber filter from the upper chamber using clean forceps with Teflon tip which
has been rinsed in hexane.
8.2.14 Fold the filter in half twice with the exposed side inward and place it in the glass cartridge atop the adsorbent
cartridge.
8.2.15 Wrap the combined samples in aluminum foil to protect degradation of collected analytes and place them in
their original glass sample container. A sample label should be completed and affixed to the sample container.
Chain-of-custody should be filled out and maintained for all samples as defined in the Quality Assurance Project
Plan.

8.2.1.6 The gl ass containers should be stored under blue ice ( < 4 C) and protected from light to prevent possible
photo-decompositi on of collected analytes. If the time span between sample collection and laboratory analysis is to
exceed 24 hours, sample must be kept refrigerated - 4 C.
8.2.17 A final single point sample flow check is performed using the calibrated orifice, as described previously. If
calibration deviated by more than 10% from the initial reading, the flow data for that sample must be marked as
suspect and the sampler should be inspected and/or removed from service.
8.2.18 At least one field filter/adsorbent blank will return to the laboratory with each group of samples. A field
blank is treated exactly as a sample except that no air is drawn through the filter/adsorbent cartridge assembly.
8.2.19 Samples are stored at approximately 4 C under blue ice in a chest until receipt at the analytical laboratory,
after which they are refrigerated.
9.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL ACTIVITIES
9.1 One filter and PUF cartridge from each batch of approximately twenty should be analyzed, without shipment to
the field, for the compounds of interest to serve as a laboratory blanks.
9.2 During each sampling episode, at least one filter and PUF cartridge should be shipped to the field and returned,
without drawing air through the cartridge, to serve as a trip blank.
9.3 During each sampling episode, at least one filter and PUF cartridge should be shipped to the field and exposed to
the ambient air during sample preparation and collection, without drawing air through the cartridge, to serve as a
field blank.
9.4 One collocated sampler for each monitoring event must be performed as a means of determining sampling and
analytical biases during the sampling program.

Testing for Volatile Organic Compounds in Ambient Air
Collected in Canisters and Analyzed by GC/MS
EPA Method T0-14
Method Overview
Method T0-14 provides procedures for the sampling, detection and quantitative measurement of Volatile Organic
compounds (VOC's) in ambient air. TO-14 is one of the EPA's, Compendium of Methods for the Determination of Toxic
Organic Compounds in Ambient Air. This method is designed for samples collected in Summa® canisters and analyzed by
gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GCMS). The method compound list indudes 39 VOC's which are also identified
as hazardous air pollutants (HAP's) in Title Ill of the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990
Method Detection and Reporting Limits
Detection limits achieved by Method TO-14 can be modified; depending upon the level of contamination encountered in
source or ambient sampling. Source level detection limits are less than 0.1 ppmv and ambient level detection limits are
less than 0.2 ppbv for most target compounds. Actual detection limits may vary slightly due to the volume of air brought
into the sample canister. Reporting limits are less than 1 ppbv for all TO-14 ambient compounds. See Pace Analytical TO-
14 MDL Studies for specific compound lists and reporting limits.
Method Specifications
Method Holding Time: -Analyzed within 14 days of collection*.
• Canister stability studies indicate, under normal usage most VOCs can be recovered from canisters at or near
their original concentrations, after storage of up to 30 days. Tedlar bags should be analyzed within 48 hours.
M-ethod Turnaround (TAT): -10 working days.
Method QAQC: -ICAL performed as specified by the method.
-Continuous calibration monitored daily or every 12 hours.
-Lab Blank/Batch (maximum 20 samples).
-Internal standard recoveries monitored continuously.
Method Sampling Guide
Samples for analysis by Method TO-14 can be gathered as grab samples, or as time composites of 1-24 hours utilizing a
canister and pneumatic flow controller. T edlar bags may also be used for TO-14 grab samples, detailed sampling
instructions and equipment are available for all procedures. Pace Analytical Summa® canisters are leak checked, cleaned,
tested for contamination, evacuated, and certified for reuse in accordance with method QC requirements prior to shipment.
Upon completion of sampling, ship canister or Tedlar bag to the laboratory via overnight carrier using the original protective
carton, and include a completed chain of custody document.

Testing of Ambient Air for Total Suspended Particulate (TSP)
by PM10 Using A High Volume Air Sampler
Method Overview
The EPA method for TSP is referenced in 40 CFR 50, Appendix B. Specifically, PM10 is referenced in
Appendix J. This method provides procedures for the sampling and gravametric measurement of
particulate with aerodynamic diameters of 10 micrometers or less. Air is drawn into a high volume air
sampler through an 8-inch by 10-inch quartz filter. Note that for the PM10 method, the high volume air
sampler must be equipped with an impactor design size-select inlet where particl~s having a diameter
larger than the inlet's design of 10 micrometers are excluded from collecting on the filter. Numbered
filters are pre-weighed in the laboratory under prescribed, climate control conditions for temperature and
humidity. Collected samples returned to the laboratory are re-weighed under the same climate control
conditions. The recorded mass difference, in milligrams, between the pre-weighed arid sample weighed
is the reported result. -
Reporting Limits and Reporting Units
Actual detection limits achieved by method PM10 will vary according to the volume of air brought through
the sample media. The method recommends that 1,600 -2,400 cubic meters air through filter in a 24-
hour time frame. Pace will supply results in total milligrams.
Method Specifications
Holding Times: -PM10 samples should be returned to climate controlled
conditions as soon as possible. Pace uses a 6-month holding
time.
Method Turnaround (TAT): -Results are reported in 10 working days of sample receipt.
Method QAQC: -Filters used as samples must meet the particle sampling
efficiency plus the mechanical, chemical, temperature and
stability requirements of the method.
Method Sampling Guide
T~e complexity of the using a high volume air sampler is such that only experienced and properly trained
personnel should perform this operation. Pace Analytical will provide appropriate filters.
Sampling Kit for PM10 Includes:
-8 inch by 10 inch Quartz Fiber Filters
-protective paper sleeve and shipping envelop
-sample labels and Chain(s) of Custody.
The filters should be handled in as clean environment as possible and care should be taken not
to touch any of surfaces of the Quartz-fiber filters. Contamination free tweezers should be used
to handle the Quartz-fiber filter. Contamination free protective gloves should be also been worn.
Retain the protective sleeve and envelope to store the collected samples. Once the sampling
event is complete, fold the Quartz-fiber Filter in half. Place the envelope in the protective sleeve
and envelope. Then ship the sample with a completed Chain of Custody to the laboratory. There
are no refrigeration requirements for this method.
