Sampling and Analysis Plan <br />2.3 Sample Collection Procedure <br />A unique sample designation will be designated for each sample station. Each sample collected <br />will be labeled to show the company name, sample identification (site name), date and time, <br />collector initials, preservatives used, and general analysis required. The collection date will be <br />used to distinguish between samples collected at the same station over time. Sample locations <br />and designations will be recorded in a field logbook. One Quality Assurance (QA) sample <br />(duplicate) will be collected for each 10 samples collected, or one per year, whichever provides <br />the greater number of duplicate samples. When warranted, sample splits for Quality Control <br />(QC) purposes will also be taken during sampling. Quality Control is further described in Section <br />6.0. <br />At surface-water locations where water is of sufficient depth, water will be collected in situ by <br />partially submerging the container in the water source. Care will be taken not to overfill <br />containers containing preservative. When necessary, a clean transfer container will be used to fill <br />other sample bottles. For water samples that must be filtered, a peristaltic pump will be used with <br />new clean pump tubing and a portable power source to pump water directly from the water <br />source. A new, clean 0.45 micron filter will be used to field filter the water. In shallow water, <br />the pump and tubing will be used to pump water for all sample containers directly from the <br />source. When access is particularly difficult, a carboy of water will be collected and packed to a <br />convenient pumping location. <br />A U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute topographic map will be used as a base map. Sample <br />collection locations will be identified on the map on the basis of field mapped locations or Global <br />Positioning System (GPS) coordinates measured during sampling. Where applicable, a sketch of <br />the sample sites will be prepared to show the sample locations and general site features. <br />3.0 GROUNDWATER <br />Groundwater monitoring will be conducted to establish baseline water quality conditions and to <br />monitor water-quality conditions during subsequent RD&D process testing. Well locations and <br />completion intervals were selected to provide upgradient monitoring of water-quality within the <br />L3 zone at drill pad MWP 1 and downgradient monitoring of water quality within the B-Groove, <br />L3, and Wasatch Formation at drill pad MWP 2.
