Material Sampling

Instructional Goal Through lecture, discussion, and scenario activities, the participant will better understand the need for detailed sampling plan before sampling begins and will see the problems and hazards associated with each type of sampling that may occur on a waste-site.

Sampling determine the characteristics of a source material a sample can come from two sources: the environment hazardous waste

Sampling Plan background information sample collection details selection of sampling equipment PPE

Sampling Plan decontamination standard operating procedures sample integrity recordkeeping packaging and shipping

Sample Collection Details mapped locations both on- and off-site samples number of samples taken at each point volume of sample taken type of sample container

Sample Recordkeeping location information chain of custody packaging and shipping

Sample Labeling sample ID number date/time of sampling specific location where taken name of person taking the sample the analysis requested

Soil Sampling surface soil samples soil sampling at given depths auger bucket continuous flight post hole trier split spoon backhoe

Surface Water Sampling pond sampler bottle sampler peristaltic pump Kemmerer bottle

Groundwater Sampling purging gas pressure displacement system submersible pumps peristaltic pump bailers

Container Sampling Opening Remote-controlled Opening pneumatically hydraulically penetration

Selection of Sampling Equipment dependent on the type of container dependent on the material to be sampled
