Newmont., CRIPPLE CREEK & VICTOR <br /> PO Box 191 <br /> 1 <br /> CRIPPLE CREEK&VICTOR Victor ctorC d5treet <br /> CO 80860 <br /> PURPOSE <br /> It is of utmost importance to collect samples in a consistent and unbiased manner to <br /> characterize the actual quality of the water. This guide summarizes the current CC&V <br /> procedures that are established for water quality sampling, shipment, as well as the <br /> equipment used to collect samples and field parameters. The results from these <br /> samples are used to insure compliance with permits and regulatory agencies. <br /> SCOPE <br /> This SOP outlines and covers the following <br /> Monitor pro and field log sheets <br /> Decontamination of sampling equipment <br /> Surface water sampling <br /> Ground water sampling, using both dedicated and submersible pumps <br /> Stream flow measurements and equipment <br /> Chain of Custody and sample shipment protocols <br /> • Procedure <br /> This procedure covers the sampling techniques that will be used to collect the <br /> monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, and occasional spot sampling that will be required. <br /> Both surface water and ground water are outlined. Information that will assist in the <br /> sampling process is also located below, such as preparation, equipment information, <br /> decontamination, tablet based programs to assist in logging information, chain of <br /> custody and sample shipment protocol. The ground water sampling procedure <br /> outlined here is based on guideline outlined in the EPA Low-Flow Method. <br /> For all field sampling procedures to occur both on and off mine site, property <br /> sampling technician should maintain safety as a priority when visiting sampling <br /> locations. At all times the technician should use their best judgement to determine <br /> if the sampling location is safe to perform the sampling task or inspection they are <br /> to perform. When visiting sampling locations there may be times when bad weather <br /> creates an unsafe condition for collecting samples or performing field inspections. <br /> When bad weather has caused a field location to be unsafe it is the technician's <br /> responsibility to not perform the task for that location. If a site is considered unsafe <br /> to collect a sample or perform an inspection the unsafe condition should be recorded <br /> on a field level risk assessment card, and if possible a picture taken with field <br /> • equipment to be recorded within Monitor Pro 5 software. <br /> Department THIS DOCUMENT IS UNCONTROLLED IN HARD COPY FORMAT Doc Id: <br /> SER Date of This Issue--/--/-- Date of Next Review:--/--/-- Page 51 of 73 <br />
