be packaged for disposal as household solid waste. Decontamination will occur prior to and after each piece <br /> of equipment use. <br /> Decontamination of reusable equipment(trowels, shovels, bowls, augers, excavator bucket) will be completed <br /> in accordance with Pinyon SOP— REM-02—Sampling Equipment Decontamination (Attachment 1)). <br /> In general,the following, will be carried out in sequence: <br /> • Dry scrub with brush to remove visible stuck on soil <br /> • Non-phosphate detergent and tap water wash, using a brush if necessary <br /> • Tap-water rinse <br /> • Deionized/distilled water rinse (twice) <br /> Equipment will be decontaminated in a predesignated area on pallets or plastic sheeting, and clean bulky <br /> equipment will be stored on plastic sheeting in uncontaminated areas. Cleaned small equipment will be stored <br /> in plastic bags. Materials to be stored more than a few hours will also be covered. <br /> Decontamination water and soil removed during the decontamination process will be thin spread over the <br /> ground surface near the specific stockpile sampled. <br /> Sample Handling- Labels <br /> In general, samples will be named and labeled in accordance with Pinyon SOP — REM01 — Sample Naming <br /> Protocol (Attachment 1) with the following project-specific guidelines: <br /> At a minimum, the sample labels will contain the following information: <br /> • Facility identification and sample nomenclature as previously described <br /> • Initials of sampler <br /> • Date of collection <br /> • Analytical parameter(s) <br /> • Method of preservation, if applicable <br /> Sample Handling- Containers <br /> Four-ounce wide mouth glass jars with TeflonTM lined lids will be the primary soil sample container. One jar <br /> will be filled from each aliquot location to establish that equal composite sample volumes are collected. Once <br /> dumped into the decontaminated mixing bowl, those individual aliquot sample jars will be discarded. New, <br /> laboratory provided certified clean jars will be used to collect the composite samples from the mixing bowl. <br /> Blind duplicate samples when collected will double the number of sample containers required from the specific <br /> aliquot/composite location. The soil sample containers will not contain preservatives. <br /> The rinse water samples will be collected in two, one-liter amber glass bottles with no preservative for analysis <br /> using EPA Method SW846 8151 and SW846 8270E SIM. <br /> Mr. Lucas West Page 7 <br /> Environmental Protection Specialist <br />
