Upon arrival at site,fill out the field notebook according to the Field Notebook SOP. <br /> 2. Prior to sampling, decontaminate all hand augers and reusable equipment. <br /> 3. Establish your sampling locations either in the field or prior to the site visit. <br /> 4. Measure the length of the hand auger from the bottom to the top. You may want to mark depths on the <br /> handle of the hand auger. This will be useful for collecting samples at established depths. <br /> 5. Place the hand auger in a vertical position in the sampling location. Twist the hand auger in a clockwise <br /> direction to the desired sampling depth. <br /> 6. Lift the hand auger from the sampling location, tip the auger bucket into a "Zip-IockTM" bag or <br /> decontaminated stainless steel bowl. <br /> o If sampling for volatiles and using a baggie, place approximately half of the sample into, then <br /> seal the bag as soon as possible. Place the remaining half into a laboratory provided sample <br /> container. After several minutes, screen the bag's headspace with a photoionization detector <br /> or designated field screening instrument. <br /> 7. Describe the soil on the boring log or soil sample form. As soon as practical, the soil should then be <br /> transferred to a laboratory provided sampling jar. <br /> Soil Sample Collection with Hand Auger <br /> December 23,2022 <br /> Page I of 2 <br />
