INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Field Sampling Plan ("Sample Plan") is to
document the objectives, rationale, and procedures for col-
lecting and analyzing environmental samples. This guidance
document describes the recommended format and content for
Sample Plans prepared for private and State-lead Superfund
projects in EPA Region 9. A separate document, Preparation
of a U.S. EPA Region 9 Sample Plan for EPA-Lead Superfund
Projects, is available for projects led by EPA.
This Sample Plan guidance has been prepared by the EPA
Region 9 Quality Assurance Management Section (QAMS). Ques-
tions on the guidance or on site specific field or
laboratory concerns can be directed to QAMS staff listed in
Appendix E.
Some general guidelines and information on Sample Plan
preparation are listed below.
The Sample Plan should be a "stand alone" document. It
should contain all the information required to conduct a
complete sampling project.
The Sample Plan is part of the overall quality assurance
program for work at a given Superfund Site. It must be con-
sistent with other quality assurance documents developed for
a program or site, such as a Quality Assurance Program Plan
and/or Quality Assurance Project Plan. (Also see the docu-
ment U.S. EPA Region 9 Guidance for Preparing Quality As-
surance Project Plans for Superfund Remedial Projects.)
Separate Sample Plans should be prepared for each sampling
episode, except when the Sample Plan is for periodic
monitoring, such as quarterly groundwater monitoring, or
when a new sampling proposal involves the same techniques as
a previous Sample Plan. In the latter case, an amendment to
an existing Sample Plan can be prepared that documents the
objective, rationale, and any other changes for the new sam-
pling proposal.
Keep in mind that much of EPA's review (and other agency's
reviews) of the technical adequacy and appropriateness of a
sampling proposal will be based on the Sample Plan.
See page 12 for a bibliography of useful references for
preparing a Sample Plan.

SAMPLE PLAN REQUIREMENTS
OBJECTIVE
State the objectives of the sampling proposal. Discuss why
the sampling is being proposed and how the data will be
used. State the general analytical information needed from
the site. Provide detailed objectives; do not just state
the obvious.
II BACKGROUND
* Give a concise history of contamination at the site. Dis-
cuss activities that resulted in contamination, what is
known about the location and extent of contamination, and
past and on-going site investigations. Include site infor-
mation and data that are relevant to the proposed sampling,
such as hydrogeology, topography, precipitation, wind direc-
tion, surface water, etc. Summarize significant analytical
results from past investigations, and discuss unusual
analytical parameters or special methods used, if any.
Ill MAPS
* Maps should contain all sampling points, known and potential
contamination sources, directions of surface water and
groundwater flow, site boundaries, on-site buildings, and
any other relevant information. More than one map is often
needed to illustrate all the required information. Draw
maps to scale, if possible, or include in the background
section a discussion of the size of the site and the size of
any significant on-site features. A map showing the loca-
tion of the site in a county or state is also recommended.
IV RATIONALE FOR SAMPLE LOCATIONS. NUMBERS OF SAMPLES.
& ANALYTICAL PARAMETERS
* This section describes in detail how the Sample Plan will
meet the stated objectives. It covers the what, where and
why of the Sample Plan.
* Describe where samples will be collected and the types of
matrices that will be sampled. Explain the rationale for
each sampling point, the total number of sampling points,
and any statistical approach used to select these points.
Discuss if sampling points were selected with a random.

judgmental, or systematic approach, or a combination of
these. If some possible sampling points (e.g., specific
wells) are excluded, explain why.
* Discuss the rationale for the analytical parameters. The
rationale must relate to site history and the objectives of
the Sample Plan. Discuss any relevant action levels that
relate to the parameters selected and the quantitation
limits required. Give an explanation when not all samples
from the same matrix will be analyzed for the same
parameters. Identify site indicator compounds and other
parameters of most interest.
* Discuss the rationale for using a mobile field laboratory or
other screening analyses. Describe where samples for these
analyses will be collected, if possible, or state the method
that will be used in the field to locate these samples. Ex-
plain how screening data will be used, such as in selecting
samples for analysis at a fixed laboratory. Usually a per-
centage of all samples for screening analysis sho'uld be
split with a fixed laboratory to verify the accuracy and
precision of field analytical techniques.
V SAMPLE ANALYSES (Tabular and Narrative)
* List all analyses proposed for the project. Include a table
that summarizes each analysis to be performed, the analyti-
cal method reference (e.g., EPA 601), the analytes to be
measured, and the quantitation limits required.
* As a useful reference, Appendix A lists the target compounds
and required quantitation limits for routine (RAS) analyses
in EPA's Contract Lab Program (CLP).
* Reference the section of the QAPjP that includes the
analytical and laboratory quality control procedures for
each chemical analyses. If any analyses included in the
sample plan are not also addressed in the QAPjP, then the
-r. following information must be presented in the Sample Plan
for each analytical parameter or group of analytes to be
measured by a single analytical method. (See Appendix B for
some examples.)
Analvtes: List the specific analytes to be measured.
Sample Matrices: State the sample matrices and an-
ticipated sample concentrations.
-------
DCN: 9OA-06-93
Revision No.: 2
Date: August 1993
Page: 5 of 12
Analytical Procedure and Quantitation Limits: Provide
the method reference number or attach a copy of the
method. Use EPA approved methods when possible. The
method selected must be directly applicable, as writ-
ten, to all analytes and matrices; if not, modifica-
tions to the method must be proposed. Provide or cite
documentation of method precision and accuracy. Iden-
tify potential analytical interferences, if any, and
describe how the interferences should be treated by the
laboratory. Specify the required quantitation or
detection limits for each analyte.
Sample Holding Times: Specify the required sample
holding time; i.e., the time from sample collection to
sample extraction and,/or analysis.
Calibration Procedure and Criteria: Reference the sec-
tions of the method describing instrument calibration,
or"provide the appropriate procedures. For both ini-
tial and continuing calibrations, state the frequency,
number of calibration points, and, where appropriate,
the calibration range and traceability of standards.
Also state the quality control criteria (e.g., %RSD and
%Difference) and acceptance limits which indicate the
system is calibrated.
Preventive Maintenance: Document the measures, includ-
ing preventive maintenance and critical spare parts, to
assure that field and laboratory equipment function op-
timally with minimal downtime. For each major piece of
field and laboratory equipment, summarize preventive
maintenance program in a table.
Internal Quality Control Checks, Control Limits, and
Corrective Action: List the required quality control
(QC) checks, such as*matrix spikes, duplicates, blanks,
laboratory control samples, surrogates, second column
confirmation, etc. State the frequency of analysis for
each type of QC check, and the spike compounds and
levels. State or reference the required control limits
. for each QC check and corrective action required when
control limits are exceeded.
Data Calculations and Reporting Units: State the re-
quired reporting units, and state or reference the re-
quired calculations. For solid sample analyses, indi-
cate whether results are reported on a dry or wet
weight basis; dry weight results are more common. Also
indicate whether moisture or solids content is needed.

Page: 6 of 12
Documentation and Deliverables: Itemize the informa-
tion and raw data that must be included in a data
package, and specify the reporting format, if desired.
* Present the information above for each analytical method
separately. Do not combine different analytical methods un-
less the two methods are very similar, as may be the case
with some inorganic methods (e.g., methods 353.2 and 353.3
for nitrate/nitrite).
* For additional guidance in preparing this section, consult
Documentation Requirements for Data Validation, USEPA Region
9, October 1989 (DNC 9QA-07-89).
* For chemical measurements made in the field, including pH
and electrical conductivity, the above information must also
be included in the sample plan or in the QAPjP.
B. Request For Analyses Table (See Appendix B for examples)
* Provide a table that lists the analyses for each sample
point. Include a separate table for each matrix, and in-
clude the QC samples (blanks, duplicates, lab QC samples and
splits) on each table.
* The format of the table in Appendix B is recommended. It
also lists the container types, sample volumes, preserva-
tives, special handling and analytical holding times for
each parameter. This type of table is very useful in the
field. If possible, also include a schedule for all sample
collection activities.
VI FIELD METHODS AND PROCEDURES
A. Sample Collection
* Describe how sampling points will be selected in the field,
and how these locations will be documented and marked for
future reference. If a sampling grid will be used, describe
the dimensions and lay out planned for the grid.
* Outline sequentially or step-by-step the procedure for col-
lecting a sample for each matrix and each different sampling
technique (including samples for mobile-lab or screening
analyses). Include well purging, housekeeping/cleanliness
techniques, field measurements, sample preservation and type
of sampling equipment (including material equipment is con-
structed of). The procedures described must ensure that a
representative sample is collected, and that sample handling
-------
DCN: 9OA-06-93
Revision No.: 2
Date: August 1993
Page: 7 of 12
does not result in cross contamination or unnecessary loss
of contaminants. Special care in sample handling required
for volatile organic samples must be addressed.
* When Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) will be used, all
relevant SOPs must be included in the Sample Plan. The SOPs
should be specific to the type of tasks proposed in the
Sample Plan. The SOP must.be directly applicable, as writ-
ten, to the Sample Plan; otherwise, modifications to the SOP
must be discussed.
* Describe the procedures for collecting mobile-lab/screening
samples separately from primary samples, if the procedures
differ.
* When wells are being constructed for sample collection,
describe the design and construction details. Include a
discussion on well development. This information may be in-
cluded as an Appendix to the Sample Plan, or in a separate
document, such as the QAPjP, which must be referenced in the
sample plan and provided for EPA to review.
* For all new and existing wells to be sampled, provide a
table of well specifications that -includes at least the well
depths, casing diameters, screened intervals, and, if avail-
able, the last water level measurements.
* Check to make sure that appropriate numbers of blank, back-
ground, duplicate and lab QC samples are included for each
sample matrix.
B. Disposal of Contaminated Materials
* Describe how contaminated cuttings, well development and
purge water, disposable equipment, decontamination water,
and any other contaminated materials will be stored or dis-
posed of.
* It is the responsibility of the party conducting the sam-
pling to properly dispose of all waste generated according
to local, state and federal regulations.

C- Equipment Decontamination
* The following is an EPA Region 9 recommended generic proce-
dure for decontamination of sampling equipment:
1) Wash with non-phosphate detergent
2) Tap-water rinse
3) 0.1N nitric acid rinse (when cross contamination from
metals is a concern)
4) Deionized/distilled water rinse
5) Pesticide grade solvent rinse (when semivolatile and
non-volatile organic contamination may be present)
6) Deionized/distilled water rinse (twice)
7) Organic free water rinse (HPLC grade)
* The above procedure is not appropriate for every field
situation. Clearly document your procedure.
* Describe how drilling equipment will be cleaned.
* Whenever possible, obtain sets of sampling tools so that
decontamination can be done in batches, preferably just once
a day at the start or end of a sampling day: This will min-
imize the number of blanks needed.
* Sampling equipment should never be reused without first
being decontaminated.
D. Sample Containers
* For each type of sample and each analytical parameter, list
the type, grade, quantity and size of the containers re-
quired; this information can be included in a table, such as
the table discussed in section V.
* Appendix C identifies the containers and volumes which are
used in the CLP program.
* Describe how containers not precleaned by a vendor (e.g.,
metal sleeves for soil sampling) will be cleaned.
E. Sample Preservation
* Describe the preservation methods that will be used. See
Appendix D for some common preservation requirements.
* Acidification of water samples for volatile organic analyses
is required as per SW-846 guidelines.

F. Sample Packaging and Shipment
* Describe how samples will be packaged and shipped. The pro-
cedures must comply with DOT regulations.
* Appendix D includes analytical holding times for common
parameters. These holding times should be considered when
developing sampling and shipping schedules.
G. Sample Documentation
* Discuss the use of all paperwork, including field notebooks,
record logs, photographs, sample paperwork, and Chain of
Custody forms and seals. Describe the entries that should
be made to the field notebook.
* Describe how sample bottles will be labeled.
H. Quality Control Samples
1. Replicates (including splits)
* Replicates (duplicates, triplicates, etc.) are a check for
sampling and analytical precision. Region 9 recommends col-
lecting duplicates at a frequency of 1 sample per week or
10% of all field samples, whichever is greater, for all
parameters and matrices. Replicates should be from sampling
points which are known or suspected to be contaminated.
Identify in the Sample Plan the sampling points for repli-
cates, if known, or explain how the locations will be
selected.
* Sampling precision is dependent upon both the sampling tech-
nique and the naturally occurring small-scale heterogeneity
in the media being sampled. Poor precision among replicate
samples may indicate a high degree of natural small-scale
heterogeneity. When this occurs, as may often be the case
with solid samples, it may be necessary to increase the num-
ber of samples or take steps to insure analysis of more rep-
resentative samples -in order to properly characterize a
site.
* For large projects, replicates should be spread out over the
entire site and collected at regular intervals. For ex-
ample, replicates should usually not be collected from just
one soil boring.
* Replicates are collected, numbered, packaged, and sealed in
the same manner as other samples; replicate samples are as-
signed separate sample numbers and submitted blind to the
laboratory.
-------
DCN: 9OA-06-93

Page: 10 of 12
Describe how replicates will be collected and what the ob-
jective of replicate sampling is.
When soil is sampled in sleeves and the sleeves are sent
directly to the lab, replicate samples should be collected
as colocated sleeves by selecting adjoining sleeves from the
same split spoon.
If samples are being split to two different labs, include
this in the discussion.
2. Blank Samples
t Blank samples are suggested for water and air sampling. At
least one blank per day for each parameter is recommended.
fc Blank samples _are a check for cross-contamination during
sample collection and shipment, and in the laboratory. Use
analytically-certified organic-free (HPLC-grade) water for
organic parameters. Use metal-free (deionized-distilled)
water for inorganic parameters.
* Blanks are collected, numbered, packaged, and sealed in the
same manner as other samples, and submitted blind to the
laboratory.
* Describe how and when blank samples will be collected.
* At least one type of blank needs to be collected. Blanks
are listed below in order of collection preference.
a. Equipment Blank
An equipment blank should be collected when sampling equip-
ment is decontaminated and reused in the field or when a
sample collection vessel (e.g., a bailer or beaker) will be
used. Use the appropriate "blank" water identified above to
fill or rinse the sampling equipment after the equipment has
been decontaminated, and pour or collect this water in the
sample containers.
b. Field Bottle Blank
Collect this type of blank when equipment decontamination is
not necessary and when a sample collection vessel will not
be used (e.g., with dedicated pumps). The field bottle
blank should be poured at a sampling point. Use the ap-
propriate "blank" water identified above to fill the sample
bottles.
-------

Revision No. : :
Date: August 1993
Page: 11 of 12
c. VOA Travel Blank
A VOA travel blank is prepared in a clean environment and
kept in the cooler used to ship VOA samples; it is a check
for cross contamination during transport. Collect a VOA
travel blank when there is no other type of blank for
volatiles. All of the VOA vials must be shipped in the same
cooler as the VOA travel blank.
3. Background Samples (air, soil & surface water)
* Background (or "reference") samples should be analyzed for
the complete set of parameters for each matrix; treat sedi-
ments, surface soils and subsurface soils as separate
matrices. Background samples should be collected from the
same soil types, the same geologic formations, and the same
hydrologic units as the investigative samples. A statisti-
cal approach may be required to determine the number of
samples necessary to establish background concentration
(especially for metals).
* Background samples are collected, numbered, packaged, and
sealed in the same manner as other samples.
4. Lab QC Samples
* Laboratories routinely perform matrix spike and lab dupli-
cate analyses on field samples as a quality control check.
Region 9 recommends that at least one field sample per week
or 1 per 20 samples (including field blanks and duplicates),
whichever is greater, be designate as the "lab QC sample"
for the matrix spike and lab duplicate analyses.
* For water matrices, 2-3 times the normal sample volume must
be collected for the lab QC sample. Additional volume is
usually not necessary for soil- samples.
VII SITE SAFETY PLAN
* Include or reference the site safety plan required for the
sampling. It should be approved and signed by the Health
and Safety Officer of the organization doing the sampling.

Analysis of Hexavalent Chromium (Cr+6J by EPA Method 218.4
(Atomic absorption, chelation-extraction).
Analytes: Hexavalent Chromium
Sample Matrices: Low concentration water samples (specify whether
surface water, groundwater, drinking water, or leachates).
Analytical Procedures and Ouantitation Limits:
a. Transport and store samples at 4*C until analysis and
validation of results are complete.
b. Filter domestic and industrial waste samples before
analysis.
c. Determine the initial pH of the samples.
d. Follow EPA Method 218.4 for chelation of hexavalent
chromium (Cr+6) with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate
(APDC) and extraction with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK).
The diphenylcarbazide colorimetric procedure discussed in
Section 2.3 of EPA Method 218.4 may NOT be used.
e. Follow EPA Method 218.4 for analysis of extracts by
aspiration into the flame of the atomic absorption
spectrophotometer.
f. The contract required quantitation limits is 10 ug/1.
Contract Holding Times: Contract required .analysis holding time is
twelve (12) hours from the time of sample receipt by the laboratory.
The technical analysis holding time is twenty-four (24) hours from
the time of sample collection.
Data packages and all other deliverables are required within 35
days from receipt of last sample in each Sample Delivery Group
(SDG). A SDG is defined as all samples received within a 14 day
period or 20 samples, whichever is reached first.
Calibration Procedure and Criteria:
1. Perform an initial calibration with a calibration blank and
at least five levels of standards. The analytical working
range must include standards at concentrations of 10 M9/L
through 250 M9/L- The correlation coefficient of the
calibration curve must be 0.995 or greater. A curve must
be prepared with each set of samples.

Approved
-------
Internal Quality Control Checks. Control Limits and Corrective
Actions:
1. When calibration standard measurements exceed the quality
control (QC) requirements for the Initial Calibration, the
ICV or the CCVs, analysis must be terminated, the problem
corrected, the instrument recalibrated, and the calibration
reverified. The CCV standard reflects the conditions of
analysis of all associated analytical samples (that is, the
preceding analytical samples up to the previous CCV). All
samples associated with an out-of-control CCV must be
reanalyzed.
2. Analyze an Initial Calibration Verification (ICV) standard
at the mid-point concentration after the initial
calibration curve. The ICV standard must be from a
different source and of a different concentration than
those used for the initial calibration standards.
Recoveries of 90-110% of the true value are required.
3. Analyze an Initial Calibration Blank (ICB) after the ICV
standard. Analyze a Continuing Calibration Blank (CCB)
every 10 samples, after unusually concentrated samples, and
at the end of the analyses.
4. Analyze a Continuing Calibration Verification (CCV)
standard at the mid-point concentration every 10 samples
and at the end of the analyses. The CCV standard must be
from a source different from that used for the Initial
Calibration standards. Recoveries of 90-110% of the true
value are required.
5. Laboratory Method Blanks must be prepared and analyzed with
each group of samples prepared.
6. If the Cr+6 concentration in any of the ICBs, the CCBs, or
the Laboratory Method Blanks is above the CRDL, reanalyze
the blank in question and all associated samples with
results less than 10 times the level of contamination in
the associated blank. If the concentration in the blank
still exceeds the CRDL, terminate the analysis, correct the
problem, recalibrate the instrument, verify the
calibration, and reanalyze all associated samples with
results less than 10 times the level of contamination in
the associated blank.
7. Analyze a Contract Required Detection Limit (CRDL) standard
at a frequency of one per sample delivery group. The CRDL
standard must be from a source different from that used for
the Initial Calibration standards. Recoveries of 80-120%
of the true value are required.
218_«AS.PRP Page 2 of 5 Revision 05/25/93
Approved
-------
8. -Analyze Matrix Spikes (MS) at a frequency of one per SDG.
Matrix spike concentration must be equivalent to the
mid-point standard of the calibration curve. Matrix spike
recoveries must be within 75-125%. Matrix spike recoveries
that are outside of this QC criteria should be flagged by
the laboratory.
9. Analyze laboratory duplicates at a frequency of one per
SDG. A QC limit of 20% for relative percent difference
(RPD) is required for original and duplicate sample values
greater than or equal to 5 times the CRDL. A QC limit of ±
the CRDL is required if either the original sample or
duplicate sample values is less than 5 times the CRDL.
Duplicate results that fail these QC criteria should be
flagged by the laboratory.
10. Analyze Laboratory Control Samples (LCS) at a frequency of
one per sample delivery group. LCS concentration must be
equivalent to the midpoint standard of the calibration
curve. The LCS must be from a source different from that
used for the calibration standards. Recoveries of 80-120%
of the true value are required.
11. Samples containing Cr+6 at concentrations above the
calibration range are to be diluted and reanalyzed within
the calibration range of the Initial Calibration. The
laboratory must submit documentation for the analysis of
both the diluted and undiluted sample.
12. If the above control limits are exceeded, take appropriate
actions to correct the problem and reanalyze the affected
samples.
13. The QC requirements listed above are the minimum required.
It is impossible to address all analytical situations that
might be experienced by a laboratory during the analysis of
environmental samples. The laboratory is expected to
adhere to good laboratory practices whien analyzing samples.
If the laboratory has questions concerning the analyses of
samples not addressed in this document, this office should
be notified IMMEDIATELY.
Data Calculations and Reporting Units:
Calculate the sample results according to Section 8 of EPA
Method 218.4. Sample results are to be reported to 1
significant figure for concentrations <10 p.g/L and to 2
significant figures for concentrations >10 Mg/L- All
records of sample analysis and the standard curve must be
legible and sufficient to recheck all sample concentrations
and QC results. Include an example of the calculations in
the data package.

Analysis of Chlorinated Herbicides by SW846 Method 81SOA,
Revision 1 (11/90)
Analvtes: See Table 1.
Sample Matrices: low concentration water and soil samples
Analytical Procedures and Quantitation Limits:
Follow SW846 Method 8150A, Revision 1 (11/90) for extraction and
analyses. Contract required quantitation limits (CRQL) are as
per Table 1.
a. CAUTION: Diazomethane is a carcinogen and can EXPLODE under
certain conditions. Refer to Section 7.4.1 of SW846 Method
815OA, Revision 1 (11/90) for precautions.
b. Capillary columns may be used for this analysis, as long as
the laboratory demonstrates that the analysis meets all the
performance and QA/QC criteria specified in SW846 Method
8150A, Revision 1 (11/90) and in this contract.
Contract Holding Times: Contract required holding time is five
(5) days for extraction of water samples, ten (10) days for the
extraction of soil samples and forty (40) days for analysis from
the date of sample receipt by the laboratory.
Data packages and all other deliverables are required within
35 days from receipt of last sample in each Sample Delivery
Group (SDG). A SDG is defined as all samples received
within a 14 day period or 20 samples, whichever is reached
first.
Calibration Procedure and Criteria:
Calibrate according to Sections 5.12 and 7.6 of SW846 Method
8150A, Revision 1 (11/90), and Sections 7.4.2 and 7.5 of SW846
Method 8000, with the following specifications:
1. As per Section 5.12 of SW846 Method 8150A - A minimum of
five calibration standards for each parameter of interest
should be prepared through dilution of the stock standards
with diethyl ether. One of the concentrations should be at
a concentration near, but above, the method detection limit.
The remaining concentrations should correspond to the
expected range of concentrations found in real samples or
should define the working range of the gas chromatograph
(GC). Calibration standards must be replaced after six
months, or sooner if comparison with check standards
indicates a problem.
8150ASAS.PRP Page 1 of 7 Revision 12/11/92
Approved
-------
The low concentration standard must have a signal-to-noise
ratio of 5:1 or greater for all analytes of interest. If
this requirement cannot be met, the laboratory must submit a
Method Detection Limit (MDL) study as part of the data
package, in order to validate its ability to achieve the
contract required detection limits. The MDL is defined as
the minimum concentration of a substance that can be
measured and reported with 99% confidence that the value is
above zero.
2. A continuing calibration at the mid-point concentration for
each analyte is to be analyzed at the beginning of each day
and after each group of 10 samples. This standard is to be
used to verify instrument performance.
3. Less than 20% relative standard deviation (%RSD) in
calibration factors (CF) for the initial calibration
standards, and less than a ±15% difference (%D) between the
CF for the daily continuing calibrations and the average CF
from the initial calibration, are required.
Internal Quality Control Checks. Control Limits and Corrective
Actions:
1. Analyze laboratory blanks at a frequency of one per sample
delivery group. The laboratory blanks must contain less
than or equal to the CRQL of the herbicide compounds listed
in Table 1. If a method blank exceeds these criteria, the
laboratory must consider the analytical system to be out of
control. The source of the contamination must be
investigated and appropriate corrective measures.must be
taken and documented before further sample analysis
proceeds. All samples processed with a method blank that is
out of control must be re-extracted and reanalyzed at no
additional cost to this office. The Laboratory Manager, or
his/her designee, must address problems and solutions in the
SDG narrative.
2. A herbicide surrogate (e.g., an herbicide or chemically
similar compound that is not expected to be present in the
samples) must be spiked into the standards, samples,
laboratory blanks and QC samples (see Section 5.14 and 8.3
of SW846 Method 8150A; Revision 1 (11/90)). The amount of
surrogate added must be at least 10 times the instrument
detection limit. Recoveries of 65-125% are required, unless
documentation (such as control charts) is available to
support a different range of recoveries. The laboratory
must submit, as part of the data package, all supporting
documentation for surrogate recoveries, and historical
surrogate recovery data if necessary.
8150ASAS.PRP Page 2 of 7 Revision 12/11/92
Approved _;
-------
3. Second column confirmation is required for all positive
results reported.
4. Sample extracts containing one or more analytes at
concentrations above the initial calibration range are to be
diluted and reanalyzed. If dilution is necessary, the
dilution must be adjusted so that the highest concentration
analyte is determined at a concentration in the upper half
of the calibration range. The laboratory must report the
results and document both analyses.
5. Analyze matrix spikes and matrix spike duplicates (MS/MSD)
at the frequency of one per group of 20 or fewer samples.
Concentration of matrix spike solution should be such that
the final extracts contain amounts at the mid-range of the
calibration curve. The matrix spiking solution should
contain a minimum of three herbicides chosen from the
analyte list in Table 1. Matrix spike and spike duplicate
recoveries of 75-125% for water samples, and 65-135% for
soil samples are required, and the relative percent
differences (RPD) between spike recoveries must be less than
±30%.
6. The QC requirements listed above are the minimum required.
It is impossible to address all analytical situations that
might be experienced by a laboratory during the analysis of
environmental samples. The laboratory is expected to adhere
to good laboratory practices when analyzing samples. If the
laboratory has questions concerning the analyses of samples
not addressed in this document, this office should be
notified IMMEDIATELY.

1. Calculate the CF and the concentration of individual
analytes using the equations in Sections 7.4.2 and 7.8.1 of
SW846 Method 8000. The sample results are to be reported in
the concentration units of micrograms-per liter (ptg/L) for
water samples and micrograms per kilogram (/ig/Kg) on a dry
weight basis for soil samples.
2. All records of analysis, dilutions and calculations must be
legible and sufficient to recalculate all sample
concentrations and QC results. Include an example of the
calculations in the data package.

Acidify to pH < 2 with HCl.
Add 2 drops 1:1 HCl per vial before sample
collection. This is generally sufficient to
obtain pH < 2, but depends upon the buf-
fering capability of each aquifer and upon
the particular eyedropper used. During purg-
ing, conduct a pH test on at least one vial
at each site for each aquifer. The tested
vial must be discarded. If the pH is > 2,
additional HCl should be added to sample
vials. Another vial should be pH tested to
ensure pH is now < 2. Discard the test vial.
If the sample is suspected of containing
residual chlorine or is to be analyzed for
disinfection by-products such as trihalo-
methanes, other preservation techniques
employing reducing agents such as ascorbic
acid may be required.
Chill collected samples to 4° C. Samples
must be filled with zero headspace and
checked for air bubbles by inverting and rap-
ping sharply against palm. If a pea-size or -
larger bubble appears, ar.other sample must be
collected. If acidification causes bubbling,
collect non-acidified samples and notify the
RSCC.

* The Analytical Holding Time is the amount of time a sample or extract may
be held from sample collection to sample extraction and analysis without the
results being qualified due to potential chemical degradation, analyte losses,
or other changes.
* " The Contractual Holding Time is the amount of tirr.-i a. sa.-ple or extract maj
be held from sample receipt at the laboratory _to sample extraction and
analysis according to the contract with the laboratory. Contractual Holding
Times are generally a few days shorter than Analytical Holding Times to allow
for sample shipment to the laboratory.

SAMPLE PRESERVATION
Complete and unequivocal preservation of samples, cither domestic sewage, industrial wastes, or
natural waters, is a practical impossibility. Regardless of the nature of the sample, complete stability
for every constituent can never be achieved. At best, preservation techniques can only retard the
chemical and biological changes that inevitably continue after the sample is removed from the pare--:
source. The changes that take place in a sample are cither chemical or biological. In the former case.
certain changes occur in the chemical structure of the constituents that arc a function of physical
conditions. Metal cations may precipitate as hydroxides or form complexes with other constituents.
cations or anions may change valence states under certain reducing or oxidizing conditions; other
constituents may dissolve or volatilize with the passage of time. Metal cations may also adsorb ouvi-
surfaces (glass, plastic, quartz, etc.), such as, iron and lead. Biological changes taking place in a
sample may change the valence of an element or a radical to a different valence. Soluble constituents
may be converted to organically bound materials in cell structures, or cell lysis may result in release
of cellular material into solution. The well known nitrogen and phosphorus cycles arc examples o)
biological influence on sample composition. Therefore, as a general rule, it is best to analyze tin-
samples as soon as possible after collection. This is especially true when the analyte concentration IN
expected to be in the low ug/1 range.
Methods of preservation are relatively limited and arc intended generally to (1) retard
action. (2) retard hydrolysis of chemical compounds and complexes. (3) reduce volatility <_•:'
consiiiuents. and (4) reduce absorption effects. Preservation methods arc generally limited to pH
control, chemical addition, refrigeration, and freezing.
The recommended preservative for various constituents is given in Table 1. These choices are based
on the accompanying references and on information supplied by various Quality Assurance
Coordinaiors. As more data become available, these recommended holding times will be adjuster '••
reflect new information. Other information provided in the table is an estimation of the volume ;«
sample required for the analysis, the suggested type of container, and the maximum recommended
holding times for samples properly preserved.
