1.0 Introduction

This Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) describes procedures to be implemented during the surface water sampling program at the Malone Superfund Site. Stormwater retained in ditches, bermed areas, and separators constitutes the majority of surface water at the site. Together with the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP), the SAP will provide policies, project organization, objectives, functional activities, and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) measures intended to achieve the project goals associated with the surface water sampling program.

The objectives of the SAP are to assure that:

• Field methods are conducted in a manner consistent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) requirements,

• Field methods are conducted in a consistent manner over the course of investigation activities,

• Data generated during field investigations are usable for their intended purpose, and

• Field activities are conducted in a safe manner and in accordance with Facility safety procedures.

Anticipated activities covered under this SAP include:

• Surface water sampling, and

• Decontamination of sampling equipment.

2.0 Site History

The Malone Service Company, Inc. site (Site) is located in Texas City, Galveston County, Texas, in an industrial and petrochemical area constructed on the shores of Swan Lake/Galveston Bay. Figure 1 depicts the Sample Location Map. The Site is enclosed by a 15-18 foot high berm (except for a gate area) that serves as containment for the site. Stormwater accumulates within containment berms and retaining walls around tanks and process equipment, and within several ponds on the site. Internal ditches or laterals direct uncontained stormwater to a discharge collection sump with a discharge pipe leading to Campbell's Bayou, a part of Swan Lake/Galveston Bay. The discharge pipe is normally closed, utilizing a manual screw-operated flapper valve.

The Malone Services Company Superfund Site (MSC) began operating in 1964 as a reclamation plant for waste oils and chemicals. Physical operations ceased in January 1996, and the site has remained inactive since.

The facility was permitted as a commercial storage, processing and disposal facility, authorized to store and process industrial solid wastes under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Hazardous Waste Permit No. HW-50003 from 1984 to 1997. Liquid hazardous and non-hazardous wastes were disposed of by separation and reuse, or disposed of by means of deep well injection under Injection Well Permit Nos. WDW-73 and WDW-138.

001293


The Hazardous Waste permit included the following storage/treatment units at various times:

• Various above-ground storage tanks for wastewater or recovered oil;

• Various underground tanks to service a decanning unit (not built as of 1988);

• A hydrocarbon distillation unit;

• American Petroleum Institute (API) separator(s); and

• Various hazardous wastewater filters. The permit authorized the receipt of Class I and Class II industrial solid waste with the exception of wastes containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), explosives and radioactive or nuclear waste material. The permit additionally authorized the discharge of stormwater runoff. No other wastewater discharge permits have been identified.

The facility is currently inactive; however, waste materials, two API separators, two underground injection wells (only one operational), roll-off bins, a large Freshwater Pond, a large pond containing sludge, numerous tanks containing liquid and sludge, and metal drums inside small buildings were left on the site after the plant was closed.

Stormwater will be sampled, analyzed and discharged to Campbell’s Bayou or sent to the deep well for injection only when necessary to (1) maintain safe access to Site areas, or (2) prevent releases of possibly contaminated stormwater from containment in specified units or the Earthen Impoundment “Sludge Pit”.

3.0 Sampling Location Rationale

During the course of investigation activities, sampling locations will be selected to determine the presence or absence of analytes as listed in Table 1 in surface water. Sampling and monitoring locations are presented on Figure 1.

4.0 Health and Safety Plan

Surface water sampling will be conducted in a manner consistent with Facility safety procedures and applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations found in 29 CFR Part 1910.120. A site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) will be developed by the Lead Technician/Operator prior to initiation of field sampling activities. Activities to be managed under the HASP include but are not limited to:

• Specifying safety training and monitoring requirements,

• Selection of personal protective clothing and equipment,

• Collection of surface water samples,

• Decontamination of equipment (if applicable), and

• Staging of investigation derived wastes (IDW) (if applicable).

001294


Subcontractors working under the direction of the Lead Technician/Operator will be required to meet and abide by the contents of the HASP.

5.0 Analytes

A target list of analytes has been established for the project. Investigation activities will be conducted to determine the presence of these chemicals in surface water. The list of analytes was developed by reviewing:

• Current and historical facility process operations,

• A list of standard chemicals associated with refining operations, and

• Groundwater and soil results obtained during previous sampling associated with TCEQ and USEPA investigations.

Table 1 lists the analytes for the surface water (stormwater) sampling program. The samples will be analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), as well as site-specific metals, oil and grease (O&G), cyanide and chemical oxygen demand (COD).

6.0 Surface Water Sampling

Surface water samples can be collected using one of four methods: direct sampling with container, bailer, dip sampler or pump. The sections below describe the procedures for each method.

6.1.1 Direct Sampling

The direct method may be utilized to collect water samples from the surface directly into the sample bottle. This method is not to be used when contact with high concentrations of contaminants is a concern. Using adequate protective clothing, access the sampling station by appropriate means. When using the direct method, do not use pre-preserved sample bottles as the collection method may dilute the concentration of preservative necessary for proper sample preservation.

1. For shallow stream stations, collect the sample under the water surface while pointing the sample container upstream; the container must be upstream of the collector. Avoid disturbing the substrate. For lakes and other impoundments, collect the sample under the water surface avoiding surface debris and the boat wake.

2. Preserve the sample if appropriate, or use pre-preserved sample bottles. Do not overfill bottles if they are pre-preserved. Label the containers as described in the Documentation and Recordkeeping Section.

3. Bottles can also be used for sample collection. In order to collect a sample below the water surface, place a hand over the opening and drop the bottle below the surface to the desired depth then remove the hand from the opening.

001295


6.1.2 Bailer

A bailer may be used in most situations where site access is from a boat or structure such as a bridge or pier and the water depth is sufficient to accommodate the bailer.

1. Use a properly decontaminated bailer.

2. Tie twine or a rope to the bailer.

3. Lower the bailer into the surface water.

4. Allow the bailer to fill completely.

5. Remove the bailer from the water. Transfer the sample(s) into suitable, sample containers.


6.1.3 Dip Sampler

The sampler is a glass beaker or glass wide-mouth bottle attached to an extension pole and is suitable for use when sampling from a structure such as a bridge or pier, and where surface samples are required.

1. Extend the device to the sample location and collect the sample by dipping the sampler into the substance.

2. Retrieve the sampler and transfer the sample to the appropriate sample container.


6.1.4 Pump

A peristaltic pump may be used in most situations where site access is from a boat, samples from a certain depth, or a sweep of the width of narrow streams is required.

1. Install clean medical-grade silicone tubing in the pump head, as per the manufacturing instructions. Allow sufficient tubing on the discharge side of the pump for filling sample containers but only enough on the suction side for attachment to the intake line.

2. Select the length of suction intake tubing necessary to reach the required depth and attach the tubing to intake side of the pump.

3. Position the suction intake tube to the required depth and begin pumping at a slow flow rate to minimize material agitation.

4. Fill the appropriate sample bottles by allowing pump discharge to flow gently down the side of the bottle with minimal entry turbulence.

001296



6. Change both the pump tubing and the suction intake tubing prior to the collection of additional samples.

6.2 Sample Packaging and Shipping

Sample storage temperature should be maintained at 4o C from the time the sample is collected. Proper temperature must be maintained in sample storage coolers both in the field, in storage and during shipment to the contract laboratory. This is best accomplished by insuring that there is a sufficient supply of ice during both sample collection and shipment. The use of ice requires the use of a tightly sealed container or multiple layers of sealed plastic bags to contain the melt water.

After collection and the required preservation are completed, the samples should be securely packed in the shipment coolers. Proper sample shipment packing is the responsibility of the sampler. All containers must be clean and dry when packed. All sample labels must be checked for completeness and legibility.

The sample containers should be packed into the coolers allowing space for cushioning and the necessary ice packs. All glass sample containers must be packed in a protective layer to insulate from shock or inadvertent direct contact with the cold packs. Glass containers should never be in direct contact with either other glass containers or the ice packs.

7.0 Decontamination

Decontamination of all non-disposable/non-dedicated sampling equipment is crucial to prevent potential cross-contamination of both the samples as well as the sampling sites. Non-disposable/non-dedicated equipment, however, is generally reserved for backup duty only.

The usual procedure to be utilized for general equipment decontamination will include a non-ionic metal and phosphorus-free laboratory-grade detergent and hot water wash. This wash procedure will be accomplished by thorough scrubbing, utilizing a suitably sized brush, of all interior and exterior surfaces. All equipment will then be triple-rinsed with tap water followed by a triple rinse of deionized water. All equipment will be decontaminated as soon as possible or practical.

8.0 Documentation and Recordkeeping

The paperwork required for sampling documentation and informational purposes includes the field data sheets, chain-of-custody forms, sample labels, security seals, and split sample acknowledgment/receipt forms as described below.

8.1 Sample Naming

Example sample IDs for use in this project are as follow:

Surface Water Locations

001297


SW804-03250401 Sample collected from surface water location 804 (SW804) which is the Tank 804 containment area. Sample collected on March 25, 2004 (032504).

Trip Blanks

03250401TB First (01) trip blank (TB) sample collected on March 25, 2004 (032504).

Equipment Rinse Blanks

03250402EB Second (02) equipment blank (EB) sample collected on March 25, 2004 (032504).

Field Duplicates

03250401BD First (01) field duplicate (BD for blind duplicate) sample collected on March 25, 2004 (032504)

8.2 Field Logbooks

Each sampling team will maintain a detailed logbook. The signature of the author and the date of entry, the project name and number and the location will accompany all entries in this log. At the beginning of each sampling day, the designated team member will start the daily log by entering the date and time, the locations to be sampled, weather conditions, field team present and any potential problems. Other information to be entered into the field logbook includes observations of field activity taking place, progress, and any problems, summary of equipment preparation procedures and a description of any equipment problems (including corrective action), reference to SOPs, and explanations of any deviations from the work plan or SOPs. At the end of each phase of the investigation, the Lead Technician/Operator will deliver copies of all logbook pages completed during that phase of the investigation to the Project Manager.

8.3 Sample Container Labels

The sample container label is one of the first links in the paper chain that tracks the sample through the sampling and analytical process. Proper identification of sample containers is necessary. Legible, complete, and securely attached labels must be affixed to each sample container. At a minimum, the label information will contain:

• Sample identification

• Name or initials of collection party

• Date and time of collection

• Site and project identification

• Preservation technique and/or filtration

• Parameters required for analysis (if space permits)

001298


Labels must remain legible and intact when wet. A waterproof black ball point pen or marker will be used to avoid running or smearing of any label information. If problems develop with wet or excessively soiled labels, a protective layer of clear, wide tape may be applied directly over the label after the data has been completely recorded to preserve the legibility of the label data. Example labels are shown in Figure 2.

8.4 Chain-of-Custody Forms

It is necessary to document, with chain-of-custody forms, the possession of the samples from time of sample collection through delivery and check-in at the contract lab. A chain-of-custody record must accompany each set of samples/coolers. The record should be a multi-copy carbonless form. The sampler/shipper will keep a copy for the necessary files. The forms will be securely affixed to the interior top interior of the cooler and will be signed off with each change of possession. Upon arrival at the contract lab, the final entries will be made on the form. A copy of the completed form will then be returned to the sampler. A typical chain-of-custody form is found in Figure 3. The chain-of-custody form will be completed by the laboratory personnel and then returned with the analytical data package for that sampling event.

8.5 Security Seal

A security seal is an adhesive paper-type seal as shown in Figure 4. The seals are fastened to both the lid and side of the coolers to aid in the detection of unauthorized opening of the coolers prior to arrival at the contract laboratory receiving/check-in department. The data from the seal (serial number, etc.) must be recorded on the field data sheet. Seals are not required if the sample coolers are hand-delivered to the lab by the sampling team and the coolers do not leave the sight of the sampling team.

8.6 Sample Shipment Documentation

The bills of lading or air bills provided by the courier companies all require the same general information to be supplied. This information includes the shipper’s name, address, telephone number, account number, as well as the recipient’s name, address, and telephone number. Additional information includes the billing information and the delivery details such as overnight service, Saturday delivery, and cooler weight and dimensions. All of this data must be ready before the coolers are delivered to, or picked up by the courier.

8.7 Sample Shipment

Sample coolers generally require overnight shipment to the contract laboratory. One member of the sampling/shipping personnel groups involved should be the liaison and be responsible for arranging the sample shipments to alleviate any confusion. As previously discussed, all necessary shipping information must be readily available prior to the time of pickup request.

Special cooler handling measures must be undertaken if either extremely high or low temperatures will be encountered during transit to the contact laboratory. High temperatures will require that more ice packs are included with each cooler in order to maintain the 4o C internal cooler temperature.

9.0 Quality Assurance/Quality Control

QA/QC Samples

001299


During the course of sampling activities, samples will be collected in the field and analyzed by the laboratory for quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) purposes. The following QA/QC samples will be collected:

• field duplicates,

• equipment rinse blanks ,

• matrix spike/matrix spike duplicates, and

• trip blanks.

The protocols and frequency for QA/QC sampling are specified in the QAPP.

1.0 Introduction

This Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) is written to present policies, project organization, objectives, functional activities, and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) measures intended to achieve the project data quality goals during sampling activities associated with the surface water sampling at the Malone Superfund Site located at Texas City, Texas.

This QAPP is intended to meet U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) requirements for ensuring that all work is conducted in accordance with QA/QC protocols and field procedural protocols for environmental measurement data. This QAPP, along with the Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) constitutes the Field Sampling Plan (FSP).

The plan has been prepared in general accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) document EPA Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans (EPA QA/R-5, March 2001).

2.0 Project Description

Surface water data collected from the facility will be used in the stormwater management program and the remedial investigation. Data of sufficient quality and quantity will be collected so that an informed decision can be made for defining and managing the Surface water plumes. Samples will be collected from surface water and will be analyzed for chemical oxygen demand (COD), oil and grease (O&G), target metals, semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Table 1 lists the analytes for the surface water program.

3.0 Data Quality Objectives

The quality of data required for field samples is definitive. This level provides the highest level of data quality and is used for purposes of risk assessment, and evaluation of remediation alternatives. These analyses require analytical methods with rigorous quality control measures and data validation procedures in accordance with U.S. EPA protocols.

4.0 Project Organization and Responsibility

An organizational chart for the project is shown in Figure 1 and project personnel are listed in Appendix A. Responsibilities for project team members are summarized as follows:

The Project Manager is responsible for the execution of the project, including correspondence with and coordinating activities with USEPA and the Malone Cooperating Parties . The Project Manager will receive and maintain original copies of all hardcopy laboratory deliverables, which will be submitted to him by the Project Data Manager following data validation. The Project Manager will authorize payment of laboratory invoices. The Project Manager will develop the field sampling plan, provide technical support, and provide sampling locations to the Lead Technician/Operator. The Project Manager will also provide technical review of project deliverables.

The Lead Technician/Operator will oversee sample collection and supervise all work in accordance with the Work Plan. The Lead Technician/Operator will report to and maintain frequent contact with the Project Manager to ensure that the Project Manager is updated on project progress at all times. The Lead

001315


Technician/Operator will be responsible for organizing and coordinating the activities of the subcontractor(s), the field crew, and activities associated with sampling activities. The Lead Technician/Operator is responsible for notifying the Project Data Manager of the number of sample locations in advance of a sample event so the Project Data Manager can order the appropriate number of sample containers and coolers from the analytical laboratory. After samples are collected, the Lead Technician/Operator is responsible for providing the Project Data Manager a copy of the chain of custody form (C-o-C) within one working day of sample delivery to the analytical laboratory. At the end of each phase of the investigation, the Lead Technician/Operator will deliver copies of all logbook pages and sample collection forms completed during that phase of the investigation to the Field Support Coordinator.

The Laboratory Project Manager will oversee performance of all analytical tests conducted as part of the project. The Laboratory Project Manager is responsible for providing the Project Data Manager a confirmation of sample receipt within one working day of sample receipt and for notifying the Project Data Manager of any sample integrity issues (holding time exceedances, C-o-C discrepancies, etc.) promptly when discovered. The confirmation of sample receipt will include the following:

• a copy of the C-o-C form,

• a sample login sheet that summarizes sample IDs, as entered into the laboratory information management system (LIMS), and the analyses requested for each sample,

• a summary of the target analytes to be reported for each analysis requested, and

• a summary of any discrepancies or sample integrity issues noted during sample login.

The Laboratory Project Manager is also responsible for submitting the final data package, including hardcopy deliverable and electronic data deliverable (EDD), within the requested turnaround time. The Laboratory Project Manager will send original invoices to the Project Manager for approval and will send a copy of each invoice to the Project Data Manager for review.

The Project Quality Control (QC) Manager will evaluate if sampling procedures, laboratory analyses, and project documentation conducted as part of the project are in accordance with this QAPP. The Project QC Manager will prepare a Data Useability Summary (DUS) in summarizing the review and validation of the data for all deliverables.

5.0 QA/QC for Sampling Procedures

The procedures described in the following sections will be followed during sampling and analytical activities to provide sample documentation and chain of custody control during all transfers of samples. Further details regarding sampling and analysis procedures are provided in the SAP.

5.1 Sample Containers, Preservation and Holding Times

Table 3 lists analytical methods, containers and holding times applicable to the project.

5.2 Sample Naming

Sample labels will clearly identify the particular sample, and should include the following:

001316


• Facility name and sample ID

• Time and date sample was taken

• Sample preservation

• Analysis requested.

Example sample IDs for use in this project are as follow:



SW804-03250401 Sample collected from surface water location 804 (SW804) which is the Tank 804 containment area. Sample collected on March 25, 2004 (032504).

Trip Blanks

03250401TB First (01) trip blank (TB) sample collected on March 25, 2004 (032504).

Equipment Rinse Blanks

03250402EB Second (02) equipment blank (EB) sample collected on March 25, 2004 (032504).

Field Duplicates

03250401BD First (01) field duplicate (BD for blind duplicate) sample collected on March 25, 2004 (032504).

5.3 Sample Log

The Lead Technician/Operator, or designated representative, will be responsible for keeping a sample log to record information regarding each sample. The required information will include but is not limited to:

• Project number, Facility location

• Sample location description

• Sample ID

• Depth

• Analyses requested

001317


• Time, date, sampler name,

• Equipment used to collect the sample

5.4 Field Logbook

Each sampling team will maintain a detailed logbook. The signature of the author and the date of entry, the project name and number and the location will accompany all entries in this log. At the beginning of each sampling day, the designated team member will start the daily log by entering the date and time, the locations to be sampled, weather conditions, field team present and any potential problems. Other information to be entered into the field logbook includes observations of field activity taking place, progress, and any problems, summary of equipment preparation procedures and a description of any equipment problems (including corrective action), reference to SOPs, and explanations of any deviations from the work plan or SOPs. At the end of each phase of the investigation, the Lead Technician/Operator will deliver copies of all logbook pages completed during that phase of the investigation to the Project Manager.

5.5 QC Samples

For each batch of 20 or fewer samples, sufficient QC samples will be collected to ensure that the appropriate QC measures described in the following sections will be attained. QC samples will be handled, preserved, and documented in exactly the same manner as those of the sample batch. To minimize bias in the laboratory, field QC samples will be submitted to the laboratory as blind samples using identification codes in the same form as regular samples but identifiable only by select non-laboratory project staff. QC sample requirements are summarized in Table 4.

5.5.1 Trip Blanks

Trip blanks are prepared prior to the sampling event by the analytical laboratory in the actual sample container using Type II reagent-grade water. Trip blanks are kept with the investigative samples throughout the sampling event. They are then packaged for shipment with the investigative samples and sent for analysis. At no time after their preparation are the sample containers to be opened before they reach the laboratory. Trip blanks are to determine if samples were contaminated during storage and transportation from/to the laboratory. If multiple shipments of samples are required, trip blanks are to be provided per shipment but not per cooler. Trip blanks are analyzed for volatile organic parameters. The number of trip blanks can be reduced if VOC samples are segregated into one cooler.

5.5.2 Equipment Blanks

Equipment blanks are defined as samples that are obtained by running Type II reagent-grade deionized water over/through sample collection equipment after it has been cleaned (i.e., rinse water will be poured from the bailer, pumped through the sample pump and tubing, or poured over the augers). Equipment blanks are only collected from non-dedicated, reusable equipment. Type II reagent-grade deionized water will be obtained from the laboratory or an equivalent from a commercially available source. These samples will be used to determine if decontamination procedures were adequate. (The equipment could have been cleaned in the field or prior to the field operation). One equipment blank will be collected each day

001318


sampling activities occur or for each day of sampling, whichever is the higher frequency. Equipment blanks are collected for each equipment type. Equipment blanks are analyzed for all parameters associated with the sampling event.

5.5.3 Field Duplicates

Field duplicate samples are two or more samples collected simultaneously in separate containers from the same source under identical conditions. One duplicate sample will be collected for each batch of 20 or fewer field samples. The duplicate sample provides a measure of precision, or reproducibility of the sample result. During data validation, precision as a relative percent difference (RPD) will be calculated according to the following equation:

(R1 – R2) * 200 RPD = (R1 + R2)

Field duplicate samples are analyzed for all parameters associated with the sampling event.

5.5.4 Matrix Spikes/Matrix Spike Duplicates

Matrix spikes provide information about the effect of the sample matrix on the preparation and measurement methodology. All matrix spikes are performed in duplicate and are hereinafter referred to as MS/MSD samples. Sufficient sample volume will be collected (triple the normal sample volume) for at least one sample in each batch of 20 or fewer field samples so that MS/MSD samples can be prepared for analysis. If yield is insufficient to fill three times the normal sample volume, the MS/MSD sample should be collected at another location.

6.0 Equipment Decontamination

All reusable, non-dedicated sample collection apparatus will be fully decontaminated before sampling and between sampling events. Disposable equipment will not have to be decontaminated if the equipment is sealed in the original manufacturer’s packaging. Sampling and measurement equipment will be decontaminated using the following sequence:

• Wash with non-phosphate detergent and tap water

• Rinse with tap water twice

• Rinse with distilled/deionized water

All decontamination water will be collected and containerized in Department of Transportation (DOT) approved containers for disposal into the injection well system.

001319


7.0 Sample Custody Procedures

7.1 Sample Containers and Preservation

The laboratory will supply sample kits. The sample kits will be packaged in coolers and will include the appropriate sample containers. Decontamination deionized water (Type II reagent-grade) will also be obtained from the laboratory or an equivalent from a commercially available source. Table 3 summarizes sample volumes, container types, preservation requirements and holding times. The pH of water samples will be adjusted in the field, as indicated in Table 3, to preserve the chemical and physical integrity of the sample during transport and storage prior to analysis. The laboratory will supply preservatives as described in Table 3 in sample bottles.

7.2 Sample Packaging and Shipping

Following collection, samples will be packaged tightly in coolers with bubble wrap to prevent breakage or damage. Samples will be shipped to the laboratory via overnight commercial carrier, delivered to the laboratory by a member of the field sampling team, or picked up from the Facility by a laboratory representative. A copy of the C-o-C will be faxed or e-mailed to the Project Data Manager by the Lead Technician/Operator within one working day of sample shipment.

7.3 Sample Collection and Handling

During sample collection, fill sample containers to the preferred volume listed in Table 3. Following sample collection, immediately place the lid on the sample container, wipe the container clean, and affix the completed sample label. Immediately after labeling, place the container in bubble-wrap to protect it from breakage, place the container in an ice-filled cooler, and close the cooler lid. Fill out the C-o-C form, as described in Section 7.4 below, as samples are collected.

7.4 Chain of Custody

C-o-C procedures are intended to maintain and permanently document sample possession from the time of collection to disposal, in accordance with US EPA guidelines. A sample is considered to be under a person's custody if:

• It is in that person's possession

• It is in that person's view, after being in that person's possession

• It was in that person's possession and was locked up by them to prevent tampering

• It has been placed in a designated secure area by that person

The C-o-C record will be initiated in the field for all samples collected. At a minimum, the following information shall be recorded on the form:

• Signature of custodian

• Date of receipt and relinquishment

001320


• Sample IDs

• Sampling date and time

• Sample type and quantity

• Analyses to be performed

• C-o-C tape number (Note: C-o-C tape is not mandatory if samples are hand-delivered)

• Method of shipment and courier name(s) in the remarks box, if applicable

The initial custodian will sign the C-o-C record; enter the date and time; tear off and file the back copy with the appropriate sampling log; and place the remainder in the shipping container with the samples. The sample documentation will be placed in a sealed plastic bag and taped to the inside lid of the cooler.

The laboratory sample custodian will receive and sign the form for the laboratory, and record the date, time of receipt. The laboratory log-in record will explicitly state the condition of the sample containers, any evidence of damage, preservation, and the completeness of accompanying records. After inspection, each sample will be logged in and assigned a unique laboratory sample ID. In addition, the following information will be entered in the logging system for each sample:

• Field sample ID

• Laboratory sample ID

• Date received

• Project name and number

• Collection date

• Sample type

• Analyses to be performed

After sample log-in is complete, a copy of the C-o-C record, with laboratory sample numbers and notations of any discrepancies, will be sent to the Project Data Manager to be entered into the project file. The original C-o-C form will be filed in the laboratory with the shipper's waybill or airbill attached. The Laboratory Project Manager will report any problems or discrepancies immediately to the Project Data Manager. The Laboratory Project Manager is responsible for faxing or e-mailing to the Project Data Manager a confirmation of sample receipt within one working day of sample receipt.

The original copy of the C-o-C form will be included with the final data package submitted to the Project Data Manager.

8.0 Analytical Procedures

Table 1 lists the analytes and required quantitation limits for analysis of project samples. The contracted laboratory will perform all analytical testing, documentation, and reporting. Specific laboratory operations

001321


are governed by the laboratory’s Quality Assurance Plan, which controls all laboratory activities from the arrival of samples to the reporting of validated analytical data. Supplemental QC criteria are provided in the individual methods and the laboratory’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) used during the analyses of the samples. The laboratory’s SOPs will be made available for review upon request.

9.0 Quality Control Acceptance Criteria

Tables 4 through 7 summarize project quality control acceptance criteria. Table 4 lists the quality control requirements for field measurement equipment. Table 5 summarizes the calibration SW-846 procedures for laboratory instruments used for sample analyses. Table 6 lists the quality control performance criteria for field and laboratory quality control measurements. Table 7 lists the acceptance criteria for laboratory quality control measures.

10.0 Summary Data Package

The Laboratory Project Manager will provide the summary data package described below to the Project Data Manager within the specified turnaround time. Each summary data package should the reportable data listed below. Instrument printouts, laboratory notebook records, calibration and instrument performance records, and other supporting data are not required as part of the summary data package. This supporting data must be archived by the laboratory for a minimum of five years and made available by the laboratory upon request by the USEPA.

The data package should contain, at a minimum, those items outlined below.

10.1 Completed Chain-of-Custody (C-o-C) Documentation

The data package should include copies of the completed field C-o-C forms and documentation, and should also include forms that the laboratory uses to document sample condition upon receipt.

10.2 Sample Identification Cross-Reference

Sample identification cross-reference information facilitates the correlation of field and laboratory sample IDs as well as the association of field samples with a particular laboratory batch. The data package should include a listing of C-o-C field sample IDs cross-referenced to the associated laboratory sample IDs. The data package should include an easy and unambiguous means of associating a specific QC sample (for example, the laboratory duplicate, the MS/MSD samples, and the laboratory control sample) with specific field samples.

10.3 Test Reports for Samples

Sample test reports provide specific information for each sample regarding analytical results and methods. The data package should include the test reports for all reported data. Analytical results (i.e., detected results and non-detected results) should be adjusted for sample characteristics, laboratory preparations/cleanups, and/or laboratory adjustments. All analyte detections above the analyte method detection limit should be reported.

001322


Sample test reports should include the analytical method, sample quantitation limits (SQLs) for each analyte, dilution factors, method quantitation limits (MQLs), date of analysis. A specific report format is not required, however all columns shall be unambiguously labeled.

10.4 Surrogate Recoveries

Surrogate recovery data are used to evaluate the precision of the analytical method on a sample specific basis. The data package should include the surrogate data as applicable to the analytical method performed. The surrogate data can be included on the test report for each sample, or can be included on a summary form, provided the surrogate results are clearly and unambiguously linked to the sample from which the results were measured. The surrogate data should include the percent recovery (%R) and the laboratory’s QC limits.

10.5 Test Reports or Summary Forms for Laboratory Blank Samples

Analytical results for laboratory blanks provide a means to evaluate laboratory precision and bias, and other potential contamination and carry-over problems. The data package should include test reports or summary forms for all blank samples (for example, method blanks and preparation blanks) pertinent to sample analyses of interest. Blank sample test reports should contain all of the information (e.g., surrogate data) specified for environmental sample test reports/summary forms. Sample data should not be blank corrected. All analyte detections above the analyte method detection limit should be reported.

10.6 Test Reports or Summary Forms for Laboratory Control Samples (LCS)

The data package should include the LCS test reports or LCS results summary forms. A LCS should be included in every preparation batch and taken through the entire preparation, cleanup, and analysis procedures. At a minimum, the LCS samples should contain all target analytes identified for the project (Table 2) applicable to the analytical method performed.

The LCS test report, or LCS results summary form, should include the amount of each analyte added, the %R of the amount measured relative to the amount added, and QC limits for each analyte in the LCS. If required by the laboratory’s QAP and/or SOPs, the %R and relative percent difference (RPD) data for each analyte in the laboratory control sample duplicate (LCSD) should be reported.

10.7 Test Reports or Summary Forms for Matrix Spike/Matrix Spike Duplicate Samples (MS/MSD)

Matrix spikes and matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD) samples are spiked and analyzed by the laboratory to facilitate identification of effects of the particular matrix of interest on analytical results, particularly biasing of results. If project samples were spiked as MS/MSD samples, the data package should include the MS/MSD test reports or summary forms. The project MS/MSD samples should be spiked with the project-specified analytes.

The project MS/MSD test reports or results summary forms should include identification of the compounds in the spike solution, the amount of each compound added to the MS and the MSD, the parent sample concentration, the concentration measured in both MS and MSD, the calculated %R and RPD, and the QC

001323


limits for both %R and RPD. The form should also include the laboratory batch number and the laboratory identification number of the sample spiked.

10.8 Test Reports for Laboratory Duplicates

Laboratory duplicates are generated in the laboratory and analyzed to assess method/laboratory precision in the matrix of concern. If a laboratory duplicate was analyzed, the data package should include the duplicate sample test report summary form. The duplicate sample test report should include the calculated RPD between the sample and the sample duplicate results and the QC limits for the RPD. The test report should also include the laboratory batch number and the identification number of the sample. The data package should include an easy and unambiguous means by which the samples associated with that particular duplicate analysis can be identified.

10.9 Method Quantitation Limits

If the laboratory reports the MQL on the test report, the laboratory should specify on the test report whether the MQL has been adjusted for sample characteristics, preparation/cleanups, and/or analytical adjustments. However, to assist the data user in verifying if the appropriate method was used for the analysis, the laboratory data package should include a copy of the laboratory’s unadjusted MQLs for each method and project analyte and each matrix for which data are reported.

10.10 Other Problems and Anomalies

The laboratory should document and report all observed problems and/or anomalies observed by the laboratory that might have an impact on the quality of the data. The laboratory shall include an explanation for any sample in which the results are nondetect and the SQL is elevated due to dilution.

11.0 Supporting Data Requirements

Supporting data for each data package should be retained by the laboratory for a minimum of five years. Specific reporting formats are not required, however all retained data should be legible and clearly labeled with the type of data and with either the applicable laboratory quality control batch numbers or applicable dates.

The laboratory should retain the following supporting data for each field sample, laboratory blank, LCS/LCSD, MS/MSD and duplicate sample, as appropriate for the analytical method:

• Chromatograms and quantitation reports (chromatographic methods).

• Real-time instrument printouts (non-chromatographic methods).

• Laboratory notebook pages (non-chromatographic methods).

The laboratory should also retain extraction/digestion logs that document initial volumes/weights and final volumes for all field and quality control samples. Logs should identify the preparation method using an EPA method reference number. Quality control samples should be identified on the logs (the laboratory assigned identification that appears on the quality control reports included with the test reports is sufficient).

001324


The laboratory retain provide instrument performance records as appropriate to the analytical method:

• Bar graph spectrum, chromatogram, instrument performance check summary (GC-MS).

• Mass calibration and resolution documentation (ICP-MS).

The laboratory should retain the following supporting data for initial and continuing calibration verifications as appropriate for the analytical method:

• Initial calibration summary form listing each target analyte, standard identification, the response factor for each target analyte in each standard, average response factor or slope and intercept, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) or correlation coefficient (r).

• Calibration verification summary form listing each target analyte, standard identification, the response factor for each target analyte in the verification standard, the average response factor or slope and intercept from the initial calibration curve, and the percent difference (%D) or percent drift (%D).

• Alternatively, the calibration verification summary may list the true concentration, the found concentration, and the percent recovery.

• Chromatograms and quantitation reports (chromatographic methods).

• Real-time instrument printouts (non-chromatographic methods).

• Laboratory notebook pages (non-chromatographic methods).

The laboratory should retain the following supporting data for metals analyses, as appropriate to the analytical method:

• Interference check sample results.

• Serial dilution results.

• Post-digestate spike results.

• Method of standard addition results.

If the laboratory utilizes internal standard quantitation, a comparison of the internal standard areas to acceptance criteria should be retained.

The laboratory should retain a summary of the most recent MDL studies applicable to the analytical methods requested. The laboratory may utilize a composite MDL report if the laboratory has multiple instruments performing the same analytical method. The highest MDL for each analyte, irrespective of the instrument identification, is reported for the composite MDL. The MDL is not rounded up.

12.0 Data Validation

Data generated under this QAPP will be evaluated and qualified using EPA flagging protocols and/or CLP-specified data quality standards as described in the Contract Laboratory Program National Functional

001325


Guidelines (CLP NFG) for Inorganic Data Review (July 2002) and the CLP NFG for Organic Data Review (October 1999). All data received from the laboratory will be reviewed.

The Data Usability Summary (DUS) should include an examination of

1. the reportable data;

2. the field notes and data associated with the sampling event(s); and

3. the project objectives.

The Project QC Manager will generate a DUS that contains a review of the deficiencies identified in the data, qualifiers identifying biases and unreliable data, assessments of field and laboratory performance, overall precision and accuracy, representativeness and completeness of the data set. The DUS should provide the following information:

• Samples and analytical parameters reviewed

• Field data reviewed

• QC parameters reviewed

• Review criteria for each QC parameter

• Specific samples and constituents that did not meet criteria and applied qualifiers

• Usability of the data

The DUS will be included in the project final report submitted to the USEPA.

13.0 Electronic Data Deliverables

The Project Data Manager will manage data for the project in a project database. The laboratory will submit the electronic deliverables in the URS EZEDD format, suitable for transfer into the Equis database.

14.0 Report Preparation

The Project Manager will be the technical lead for the preparation of reports summarizing the results of the project. All data to be included in summary tables, figures, and data analyses incorporated into project deliverables will be prepared from the project database.

URS Standard EDD Format

Rev 1 - May 29, 2002

Electronic data deliverables from the laboratory must be stored in an comma separate variable (CSV) file or an Excel (xls) file using the following standard format. Maximum length of the field is listed under “postion/format” column. If the information is less than the maximum length, do not pad the record with spaces. If EDD is a csv file, each record must be terminated with a carriage return and no final comma. The file can be produced using any software with the capability to create ASCII files. Date is reported as MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/YYYY (month/day/year) and time as HH:MM (hour:minute). Time uses a 24 hour clock, thus 3:30 p.m. will be reported as 15:30. Lab quality control data, such as LCS, method blanks, MS/MSDs, and surrogate data, should not be included.
