PMYOPIV <br /> the backhoe unless operator is aware that you are entering the area. Never stand behind large equipment <br /> and ensure large machinery has working back-up alarms. Additional SOPS further describing soil sample <br /> collection using a backhoe bucket or hand auger are included as SOP-SCREM-10 and SOP-SCREM-11. <br /> • Soil samples should be collected using the following procedure: <br /> o Enter required information include a description of the soil and soil horizons, if present, on the Soil <br /> Sample Collection Field Form presented in Attachment 1. Following completion of the Soil Sample <br /> Collection Field Form, the soil should be segregated with a decontaminated stainless-steel spoon or a <br /> hand painters' tool. <br /> o If screening/sieving the soil to remove larger particles, transfer the bulk soil to the appropriate <br /> sieve/screen and collect the material that fall through the screen into a stainless-steel bowl. Screen <br /> enough soil as to meet the project and laboratory specific soil sample volume requirements. <br /> o After sieving (or if sieving is not required), immediately transfer the soil into an appropriate laboratory <br /> provided sample container using a stainless-steel spoon or a new gloved hand. When composite soil <br /> samples are collected, individual aliquots will be place in separate labeled containers for later <br /> compositing at the project laboratory. <br /> o To prevent volatilization, care should be taken to minimize soil exposure to air and heat and to <br /> minimize disturbance of the soil. The soil should completely fill the sampling jar with no headspace <br /> room, especially if analyzing for volatile organic compounds. <br /> o The sample container should be labeled, logged onto the chain of custody, and immediately placed in <br /> a cooler on ice. <br /> o The sample identification and time of collection (and any other pertinent information) should be <br /> recorded on Pinyon's soil sampling form or in the field notebook. The required analysis should be <br /> recorded on the chain of custody in accordance with the approved Soil Sampling and Analysis Plan for <br /> the project. <br /> 3.0 Equipment <br /> For sample collection, the following equipment may be necessary, depending on the media to be sampled and <br /> the procedures to be used: <br /> Personal Protection Equipment(PPE), nitrite gloves, safety glasses, hard hat, steel toed boots, safety vest <br /> Field notebook, clipboard (pens, markers, etc.) <br /> Soil sampling device (Table 1) <br /> Sample jars, vials, bottles, labels, bubble wrap, and preservatives - if required <br /> Chain of custody form <br /> Cooler with ice, cooler to 4 degrees Celsius <br /> Buckets for excess soil <br /> Soil Sample Collection <br /> December 22, 2022 <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
