1 <br />'' Wells with very low recovery rates will be pumped or bailed to <br />dryness and allowed to recover prior to sampling. If dais happens, <br />it will be noted on the Field Data Collection Sheet that the <br />evacuation of a minimum three casing volumes criterion was not met <br />' for this well. If possible, sampling should take place within 24 <br />hours after well evacuation. <br />If a well which is ordinarily dry contains fluid at a scheduled <br />' sampling event, a sample of that fluid will be obtained to evaluate <br />the source of the water. In this special case only, if sufficient <br />' volume is not evacuated to meet QA/QC protocols, it will be noted <br />on the chain-of-custody that QA/QC protocols were not met. Then <br />the sample will be obtained for analysis. The chain-of-custody <br />will note a prioritization of analysis should there be insufficient <br />sample for all analyses. Cyanide analyses will be conducted first, <br />' followed by metals analyses and the rest of the inorganic <br />parameters, as applicable. In addition, the analytical results <br />' will be annotated that QA/QC protocols were not met and, therefore, <br />the results are not valid. <br />' 2.2.8 Ground Water Samplin~Method: Samples will be obtained after the <br />procedures described in Sections 2.2.1, 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 are <br />completed. Samples will be taken using a bailer or a submersible <br />pump. Bailers and pumps will be cleaned in accordance with <br />' cleaning procedures outlined in Section 2.2.1. Care will be taken <br />to prevent bailers, pumps or appurtenant apparatus from coming into <br />contact with any contaminated surface. <br />' Ground water samples will be poured from the bailers or pump <br />discharge directly into a bucket until sufficient quantity has been <br />' collected. This composite sample will then be poured dir@ctly into <br />bottles previously prepared and supplied by the laboratory. <br />Pouring will be accomplished in a manner that will minimize <br />agitation of samples. <br />' -15- <br />
