<br /> <br />' samples until they are shipped to the laboratory for analysis. <br />Weather conditions at the time of sampling will be noted, such as <br />temperature, ice cover on ponds, etc. <br />' 4.2.4 Lvsimeter Water SamplinE Method: Each lysimeter was assembled in <br />accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, using two <br />continuous lengths of polyurethane tubing to serve as the vacuum <br />and sampling tubes. For ease of identification during lysimeter <br />sampling, black tubes were used for the vacuum line and green tubes <br />were used for the sample line. <br />water is drawn into the porous sampling cup by placing a vacuum on <br />' the lysimeter. This is accomplished by clamping off the green <br />sampling tube and using a vacuum pump to evacuate the black vacuum <br />line. The lysimeters should be kept under a vacuum throughout the <br />' six-month interval between sampling. Lysimeters should be checked <br />monthly to see if the vacuum is still holding. If not, the vacuum <br />' pump should be used to re-evacuate the porous cup and re-establish <br />a vacuum. <br />Sampling is accomplished by releasing the pinch clamps on both <br />lines and pressurizing the black vacuum line with a hand pump, <br />subsequently forcing any fluid collected in the porous eup out of <br />the green sampling tube. The discharge from the green sampling <br />tube may be collected directly into the appropriate bottles <br />previously prepared and supplied by the laboratory. Det@rmination <br />' of whether sufficient volume has been collected for analysis, <br />including performing all required laboratory QA/QC protocols, will <br />be on the basis of the protocol outlined in Section 6.1. <br />' 4.2.5 Pre-Detox and Post-Detax Sampling Method: Samples will be collected <br />t <br />i <br />h <br /> after the sampling apparatus has been cleaned accord <br />ng <br />o t <br />e <br /> procedures described in Section 3.2.1. Samples will be taken with <br />' a five-gallon bucket from "Vat-8" with one third of the five-gallon <br />1 <br />_29_ <br /> <br />
