Subject: Sampling and Analysis Plan for Compliance MonitoringNPDES Permit no. 99-034

On behalf of the Casmalia Steering Committee (CSC), I have attached a proposed Sampling andAnalysis Plan (SAP) for compiiance monitoring pursuant to Permit No. 99-034. As we discussed andagreed with you earlier, the SAP the CSC is submitting to comply with the RWQCB's Permit 99-034is identical to the "Final" SAP of the Routine Groundwater Monitoring Work Plan which we arecurrently using to conduct the Routine Groundwater Monitoring Element of Work at the she. ThisFinal SAP/QAPP was previously submitted to EPA for the Casmalia project in January, 1998.

The SAP addresses the chemical quality sampling (i.e. VOC, Halogenated VOC, SVOC,Pesticides/Herbicides, pH, Coliform Bacteria, total Petroleum) which the CSC win perform:

• semi annually for the RCF and A-Series Pond (as defined in Table I of the approved permit)

• as required in the event of a discharge at least 14 days prior to and during a discharge of the treatedeffluent at the outfall (as defined in Table II of the approved permit)

• as required in the event of a discharge of the Casmalia Creek

Please note that the attached SAP does not include any discussion of the Acute or Chronic Toxicitytesting required by the permit and listed in Table I or Table II. The Acute and Chronic Toxicity testswill be done in accordance with EPA guidance document "Short Term Methods for Estimating theChronic Toxicity of Effluents and receiving Waters to Freshwater Organisms " (EPA/600-4-91-002,1994).

Finally, Note 2 of Table I of Permit No 99-034 indicates that the semi annual monitoring of the ponds"shall commence on April 15th and October 15th". The CSC is interpreting that note to mean we mustconduct the semi annual monitoring some time between these two dates (in other words, we are notplanning to conduct the pond monitoring on these exact dates). If that is not correct, please let meknow as soon as possible.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) describes activities to be conducted for Compliance Monitoringpursuant to Permit No. 99-034 for the Casmalia Resources Landfill (Site) in Casmalia, California. ThisSAP is designed to be a stand alone document for use by the Field Sampling Team. As previously discussedand agreed to by the Regional Water Quality Control Board - Central Coast Region (RWQCB), this SAP isessentially identical to the "Final" Sampling Analysis Plan (SAP) for the Routine Groundwater MonitoringElement of Work (RGMEW) previously submitted to EPA in January 1998.

1.1 PURPOSE

The purpose of the SAP is to describe the field data collection effort to be performed for the compliancemonitoring. The SAP presents Site-specific sampling techniques, sample media, proposed samplinglocations and frequency, and sample analyses to be employed.

This document provides guidance to the field sampling team so that data collection activities will beperformed consistent with the data quality objectives (DQOs) for the acquisition of data. Detailedmethods for completing field activities are described in Section 5.0. The data obtained must meet specificDQOs as specified in the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) which is included in Appendix A.

1.2 SAP ORGANIZATION

This plan is intended to be used for all surface water sampling events performed by the Casmalia SteeringCommittee (CSC). This plan will be updated and amended as necessary. Recommendations to modify thisplan will be submitted to United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) via the TechnicalMemorandum (TM) process as outlined in the SOW. The plan is written for use as both a planningdocument and a field procedures guidance document.

The remainder of this SAP is organized as follows:

2.0 SITE BACKGROUND AND SETTING

The Site consists of an approximately 250 acre parcel within the 4,645 acres owned by CasmaliaResources. The Site is located in hilly south-facing terrain in the Casmalia Hills, approximately 1.5 milesnorth of the Town of Casmalia, Santa Barbara County, California (Figure 2-1). Site elevations rangefrom 835 feet above mean sea level (msl) at the northern boundary to 375 msl at the southern boundary.Figure 2-2 shows the Site's topography, drainage patterns, and features.

The Work Plan, dated September 4, 1997 (Revision 1.0, January 1998), provides discussions pertaining toSite History, Hydrogeologic Conditions, and Groundwater Quality. The General Work Plan (TRCEnvironmental Solutions, Inc., 1997) contains a detailed Site history, including operating background andphysiographic and hydrologic conditions.

3.0 SAMPLE LOCATIONS AND FREQUENCY

This section of the SAP describes the location and frequency of sampling, the analytical approach, and thesampling rationale. Section 5.0 describes the methodology for sampling.

The SAP addresses the chemical quality sampling which the CSC will perform as outlined below:

• Semi-annually for the RCF and A-Series Pond (as defined in Table I of the approved permit),

• As required in the event or a discharge at least 14 days prior to and during a discharge of thetreated effluent at the outfall (as defined in Table II of the approved permit), and

• As required in the event of a discharge to the Casmalia Creek.

3.1 CHEMICAL OF POTENTIAL CONCERN

The Chemicals of Potential Concern (COPCs) include the 206 compounds found in the 40 CFR, Part 264,Appendix IX-Groundwater Monitoring List, and twenty-three additional unlisted compounds detected insamples collected from the Gallery Well, Sump 9B, and PSCT-1. COPCs are summarized in Table 3-1.

3.2 ANALYTICAL METHODS

Cirrus Environmental (Cirrus), or BC Analytical, will perform laboratory analyses using EPA TestMethods for Evaluating Solid Waste Physical/Chemical Methods (SW-846) (1994). Cirrus willsubcontract analyses requiring EPA Methods 8290 and 8150 to Quantum Laboratory and SequoiaAnalytical, Inc., respectively. All laboratories are certified for the methods described in the QAPP. Table3-2 presents specific methods and the requirements for sample collection, handling, and preservation.

In addition to chemical analyses, the CSC will collect measurements of physical parameters for pondsamples. Physical parameters will include pH, specific conductance, temperature, turbidity, and dissolvedoxygen. These parameters will be measured primarily in the field during sampling.

3.3 SAMPLE ANALYSIS

The following analytical methods are identified: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs); Semi-VolatileOrganic Compounds (SVOCs); Metals (total and dissolved); PCB/Pesticides; Chlorinated Herbicides,Penta-, Tetra-, Hexa-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxins/furans, (Dioxins/Furan); pH; Cyanide (total and amenable);general minerals; and Total Extractable Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TEPH).

Table 3-3 provides a summary of the number of field samples to be submitted for each analytical methodand the corresponding number of Quality Control (QC) samples by method. A discussion of the QCsample selection criteria is presented in Section 3.5.

CSA015336

1/4/00 3-1 L:\40000V47588\WP\SAP\47588W20.doc



3.4 SAMPLE COLLECTION SCHEDULE

The two-day sample collection schedule is an estimate based on an anticipated sampling rate. The pondswill be sampled during the RGMEW events.

3.5 QUALITY CONTROL SAMPLES

The Field Sampling Team will collect pond samples for various analyses over approximately 2 days.Quality control samples may be collected, which way consist of duplicates, equipment blanks, fieldblanks, trip blanks, and laboratory QC extra volume samples. These samples are introduced into thesample train in the field to monitor sample collection activities, shipping, and analytical laboratoryperformance. The collection rate for QC samples is discussed below. Laboratory and field QC sampleswill be used to monitor and quantify the performance of analytical methods and field procedures. Asstated in the QAPP, laboratory QA samples monitor and quantify the laboratory's performance.

3.5.1 Field Duplicate Sample

Field duplicates are specified at a collection rate of one (I) for every ten (10) field samples, per samplemedium. The duplicate sample will have a unique sample number and station location number and willbe sent "blind" to the laboratory.

3.5.2 Field Blank and Equipment Blank Samples

Blank samples are specified at a rate of one (I) for every day a parameter suite is collected. However, thetotal number of blanks collected will not exceed 10 percent of the total number of water quality samplescollected for each parameter. When samples are collected using a piece of sampling equipment, anequipment blank will be collected by pouring or pumping blank water through or over the piece ofsampling equipment. When all samples on a given day are collected from dedicated sampling sources(pumps), a field blank will be collected by pouring the deionized water directly into the samplecontainers. Blanks will be labeled in the same manner as other samples and will be sent "blind" to thelaboratory.

3.5.3 Trip Blank

A trip blank is submitted at a frequency of one (I) per sample shipment sent to the laboratory containingsamples for VOC analysis. The trip blank is shipped to and from the field with the sample containers. Itis not opened in the field, thereby providing a test for contamination from sample preservation; siteconditions; and transport; as well as sample storage; preparation; and analysis. Trip blanks are used todetect cross-contamination of VOCs, and therefore, are only analyzed for VOCs.

3.5.4 Laboratory QC Samples

Laboratory QC samples are specified at a rate of one (I) for every 20 samples submitted for analysis(including duplicates and field blanks) per sample medium. The first laboratory QC sample is designatedfrom the first day the sample set collected. If additional laboratory QC samples are needed, they areselected from the succeeding sample delivery groups (twenty samples). Extra volumes will be collectedfor laboratory quality control tests.

4.0 SAMPLE DESIGNATION

4.1 DATA MANAGEMENT

The CSC will evaluate the adequacy and completeness of the chemical water quality sampling locationsafter reviewing the data from each sampling event. The CSC will recommend modifications to samplinglocations using the criteria presented in Section 4.0 of the Work Plan.

Data collected for the chemical analysis portions will be entered into a database. Each datum will have aunique identification number. The Project Data Manager will manage and update the database inaccordance with Section 4.0 of the Work Plan.

4.2 SAMPLE DESIGNATION

A unique sequential sample number will be generated by the database prior to sampling. The numericsample identification number will be the primary sample designation. However, to ensure consistencywith previous EPA numbering conventions, the CSC will also use the following field sampleidentification system for labeling samples in the field.

The field sample designation system for compliance monitoring samples will follow the conventionbelow:

MMDDYY-XXXXXX-XX

Where: MM = Month sampledDD = Day sampledYY = Year sampled

XXXXXX = Sample location (well number, location, etc.)XX = Blank or duplicate sample designator where:

01 = field sample02 = duplicate03 = Field Blank04 = Trip Blank05 = Equipment Blank

Sample labels will include the following information:

Sample IDDate and timeAnalysis requestedPreservativeSampler's initials

1/4/00 4-1 L:\4000CM7588\WP\SAP\47S88W20.doc



5.0 SAMPLING EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES

This section discusses specific sampling equipment and procedures.

The following general guidelines govern performance of field sampling activities:

• Appropriate protocols in the HASP will be followed to minimize exposure to potentiallycontaminated media.

• Samples will be collected in clean, laboratory-certified containers provided by thelaboratory.

• Field sample collection, labeling, handling, and analysis procedures as described in theSAP and QAPP will be followed.

• Appropriate containers and preservatives will be used, and analytical holding times listedin Table 3-2 will be met.

• Sample packaging and chain-of-custody procedures will be followed to ensure thatsamples are stored appropriately and delivered to the analytical laboratory.

• Adequate documentation of sampling and analysis activities will be maintained.

5.1 WATER QUALITY SAMPLING FROM PONDS

Field samplers will use a boat located on the Site to collect water samples from the ponds. Field samplerswill follow the procedures below to collect samples.

• The boat should be anchored at the geographic center of the pond. A measuring tape willbe used to take a total depth measurement from the top of the pond surface.

• After a total depth measurement has been made, a discrete interval sampler will belowered to a depth approximately halfway between the pond surface and pond bottom.The sampler will then be opened, a sample collected, and the sampler closed. Afterclosing the sampler to prevent the mixing of the captured sample with water from otherdepths, the sampler will be brought into the boat where the captured sample will betransferred into designated sample bottles.

• The sample collection procedure will be repeated until all sample bottles have been filled.Samples should be collected in the following order:

1. VOCs2. SVOCs3. Metals4. PCB/Pesticides5. Chlorinated Herbicides

CSA015339

1/4/00 5-1 L:\40000\47588\WP\SAP\47588W20.doc



6. Dioxins/Furans7. Cyanide (total and amenable)8. General Minerals9. TEPH10. pH

All samples will be stored on ice as soon as possible after collection.

• Equipment blanks will be collected from the discrete interval sampler by runninglaboratory prepared organic-free water through a clean bailer. Filled sample bottles willbe labeled and placed directly on ice in a cooler, or in a sample-only refrigerator.

• Samples will be clearly labeled with indelible ink using the proper identifier.Documentation will be completed and samples will be packaged and shipped as describedin Section 6.0.

5.2 FIELD EQUIPMENT

Several equipment items support sample collection and provide baseline worker safety. The materialsrequired for the water level monitoring and sampling are separated into the following two primary groups:general equipment that is reusable for several samplings; and disposable materials:

General:Health and safety equipmentSteel-toed boots, safety glasses, hard-hatsField data sheets and/or logbookBuckets and sampling beakersCoolers/refrigeratorPortable Redi-flo pumpPortable trailer-mounted poly- tankDiscreet interval samplerpH/Temperature/Conductivity/turbidity/Dissolved Oxygen meters

Expendable Materials:GlovesPaper towelsPreservativesTyvekBailersIce for cooling/blue ice pack

5.3 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES

Prior to sampling and between subsequent uses, non-disposable sampling equipment and tools will bedecontaminated.

All field samplers will be required to wear latex gloves during sampling. The latex gloves will be rinsedand disposed of after each well is sampled.

CSA015340

1/4/00 5-2 L:V40000\47588\WP\SAP\47588W20.doc



5.4 INVESTIGATION DERIVED WASTE

All decontamination water will be collected in a portable trailer-mounted poly- tank and deposited in thePSCT Treatment System. All adequately decontaminated PPE and disposable sampling equipment willbe rinsed with water and managed by the CSC as nonhazardous waste.

5.5 SAMPLE CONTAINERS, PRESERVATIVES, AND HOLDING TIMES

Sample containers for the sampling event will be obtained from the analytical laboratory and certified tobe clean. Bottle certifications will be kept in the field file and retained as part of the field sampling notes.Each sample container will be labeled with the initials of the person taking the sample; date and time;sample identifier; sample type; preservation method; and analyses to be performed. Table 3-2 providesthe types and quantities of containers, and the holding time for each type of analysis.

As noted in Table 3-2, samples for metals analysis will be preserved with nitric acid. For dissolvedmetals analysis, samples will be collected and filtered by the laboratory prior to acidification.

Holding times vary by analyses. The holding time for each analysis is summarized below.

pH Analyze ImmediatelyVOCs 14 daysCyanide 14 daysTPH 14 daysSVOCs 7 daysPesticides/PCBs 7 daysDioxins/Furans 7 daysChlorinated Herbicides 7 daysMetals 6 months

Samples will be shipped daily to avoid exceeding holding times. Each sample bottle shipped will belabeled with a sample number, the requested analysis, the date and time sampled, the preservative, and thesampler's initials.

5.6 SAMPLE HANDLING, SHIPPING, AND CUSTODY PROCEDURES

Samples will be packed and shipped according to the procedure specified in the QAPP. Each samplecontainer will be placed in a scalable plastic bag and then placed on ice in a cooler. Chain-of-custodyprocedures will be used to maintain and document sample possession. To maintain custody of samplesshipped by courier, the sampler will secure the samples in a cooler with custody seals on two sides. Thecoolers will be hand-delivered or shipped via overnight courier to the laboratory at the end of each day'ssampling. Samples will be shipped in a manner such that the laboratory will receive them in sufficienttime to document and extract aliquots for analysis.

CSA015341

1/4/00 5-3 L:\40000\47588\WP\SAP\47588W20.doc



The chain-of-custody form will be initiated at the time of sampling and will contain the sample identifier,date and time of sampling, and name and dated signature of the person taking the sample, as well as themethods by which each sample will be analyzed, and other pertinent information. Standardized chain-of-custody forms will be used for tracking samples from the point of origin in the field through laboratoryprocessing and disposal. The chain-of-custody form will accompany the samples to the laboratory

The Chemicals of Potential Concern (COPCs) include the 206 compounds found in the 40 CFR, Part 264,Appendix IX-Groundwater Monitoring List, and twenty-three additional unlisted compounds detected insamples collected from the Gallery Well, Sump 9B, and PSCT-1. COPCs are summarized in Table 3-1.

5.7 ANALYTICAL METHODS

The analytical contractor selected will perform laboratory analyses using EPA Test Methods forEvaluating Solid Waste Physical/Chemical Methods (SW-846) (1994). BC Laboratory may subcontractsome targeted analysis. All laboratories are certified for the methods described in the QAPP. Table 3-2presents specific methods and the requirements for sample collection, handling, and preservation. TheCSC has selected the methods to monitor for COPCs.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES

Section 2 of the Work Plan provides a description of the Site. Section 3.0 of the Work Planpresents the specific Objectives of the RGMEW. The two Components of Work- Water LevelMonitoring and Chemical Quality Monitoring-have the following Objectives:

Water Level Monitoring Component:

• Monitor the groundwater flow system conditions at the Site• Monitor the changes in groundwater storage• Monitor the hydraulic effectiveness of response systems• Monitor the vertical distribution of hydraulic head

Chemical Quality Monitoring Component:

• Locations with Site-related hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants• Quality of extracted water• Efficacy of response actions• Areas potentially affected by Site-related releases

The CSC will use the data collected during the RGMEW to achieve the above Objectives andintegrated it with other Elements of Work for the Site. Valid, appropriate data collected for otherElements of Work that meet DQOs will be included in the RGMEW to avoid samplingduplication. The Work Plan contains a more detailed discussion of Project Objectives andrationale.

4.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

4.1 Data Quality Objective Process

The DQO process (EPA, 1993) was used to define the data requirements to meet specificObjectives and Quality Assurance (QA) requirements for the RGMEW. The CSC qualitativelyapplied this process in the Work Plan and incorporated identification of decision types, datauses and needs in the design of the data collection program. Section 3.0 of the Work Planprovides a detailed discussion of the process.

QA is defined as the ability to ensure that the field and laboratory activities are performedcorrectly, and that the data can be confidently used to make decisions. The DQOs thatmandate the level of QA/QC for the Project include providing data of known and appropriatequality regarding groundwater and surface water characterization efforts; aquifer properties; andthe impact of extraction on the groundwater flow system. These data will be used to accomplishthe following objectives:

• characterize the groundwater flow system and quality of water;• evaluate the effectiveness of the response systems;• estimate the areas potentially affected by Site-related releases, and• aid in scoping future Remedial Investigation Feasibility Study (RI/FS) and

Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) Component of Works (CW).

The most stringent use of these data is expected during the risk assessment component of theEE/CA CW and RI/FS CW. Therefore, the QA and quantification limits required for riskassessment purposes are considered adequate for other data uses. For this reason,quantification limits have been evaluated with respect to California wastewater treatmentstandards, and to regulated Federal and California maximum contaminant levels (MCLs).

4.2 Required Level of Analysis and Review

The specific project Objectives and data needs and uses are described in detail in Sections 3.0and 4.0 of the Work Plan, and summarized in Section 2.0 of the QAPP. Analytical data to becollected will potentially be used in site characterization, risk assessment, and treatmentresponse evaluations. The CSC will generate data of sufficient quality to be used for sitecharacterization and risk assessment by adhering to the following Project requirements.

• EPA analytical methods will be used when available. Section 8.0 summarizesanalytical methodologies for sample preparation and extraction and analysismethods for each procedure are summarized in Section 8.0. Section 16.0provides method references, and Appendix A includes the laboratory StandardOperating Procedures (SOPs).

CSA015375

1/4/00 APPENDIX A - 4 L:\4000(M7S8gWP\SAI'V«7M*yW.<loc



• Internal QC sample frequencies (i.e., minimum QC sample frequencies) andprocedures to be utilized by the laboratories described in Section 10.0. QCsample frequencies and procedures are further specified in Appendix A.

• Completing data validation on 10 percent of the data. In addition, data packagesfrom the remaining data sets will be reviewed to ensure that the data are ofknown and appropriate quality, and are technically acceptable and representativeof site conditions.

4.3 Quality Control requirements

Field duplicates, field blanks, equipment blanks, and trip blanks will be collected and submittedto the analytical laboratory to provide the means to assess the field sampling program's dataquality. Field duplicate samples will be analyzed to check for sampling and laboratoryrepresentativeness. Field, equipment, and trip blank samples will be analyzed to check forprocedural contamination, cross-contamination, and laboratory contamination during shipmentand storage of samples. Matrix spike (MS), matrix spike duplicate (MSD), and laboratorycontrol samples will be analyzed to assess if recoveries falling outside acceptance windows areattributable to sample matrix interferences as opposed to laboratory analytical errors, in additionto measuring the accuracy of the analysis. Specific QC sample descriptions and minimumfrequency requirements are provided in Section 10.0 of the QAPP and in Section 4.0 of theFSP.

4.4 Chemicals off Concern and Analytical Groupings

Tables 4-2 through 4-10 provide the list of chemicals to be screened for each analytical method.The list of chemicals includes those identified for the Site in Section 3.0 of the Work Plan.Based on the laboratory methods, the following are the analytical groups:

1) Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)2) Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs)3) Metals4) Chlorinated Herbicides5) Pesticides/Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)6) Dioxins/Furans,7) General Minerals8) EDB and DBCP9) Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs).

4.5 Data Quality ParametersCSA015376

All data are potentially subject to some uncertainty and errors as they transition throughsampling, analysis, and reporting. Control and recognition of errors are important in assessingdata quality and preparing technical reports. The impact of data uncertainty and errors on the

1/4/00 APPENDIX A - 5 L:WWCM7588\WP\SAFVI7588y20.doc



Project can be reduced in two ways: 1) through QC measures, and 2) through documentationof the quality or nature of the data error or uncertainty for the data generated.

To evaluate if the analytical data are consistent with the requirements of each task, anassessment of the performance of five data quality parameters must be conducted. These dataquality parameters are accuracy, precision, completeness, representativeness, and compatibilityand are discussed in this section. Quantitative limits for acceptable precision, accuracy, andcompleteness are also included in the assessment.

4.5.1 Accuracy

Accuracy is a measure of system bias and can be defined as the degree of agreement betweena measurement and an accepted reference or true value. The exact bias of a system is neverknown since the true values are inaccessible. However, inferences can be drawn from anevaluation of various analyses. The accuracy or bias of a laboratory analysis is evaluated byanalyzing standards of known concentration both before, and during sample analysis. Bias isalso evaluated by spiking a sample with a known quantity of a chemical and measuring itsactual, versus expected, recovery in analysis. Similarly, any bias introduced by laboratorycontaminants are detected during blank analysis. Analytical QC samples that will be used tocontrol analytical accuracy are discussed in Section 9.0. Analytical accuracy is also measuredthrough procedures presented in the SOP of most analytical methods. Section 11.1 of theQAPP details the formula for calculating accuracy as a percentage recovery (%R) of spikedsamples.

The accuracy of sampling procedures is also evaluated through use of blanks. Field blanks orequipment rinsate blanks demonstrate any bias introduced by contaminated samplingequipment, sample containers, or sample handling. Section 9.0 discusses QC samplescollected in the field that will be used to control the accuracy of the data.

4.5.2 Precision

Precision is the measure of variability between individual sample measurements of the sameproperty under prescribed similar conditions. The measurement of precision is made throughthe use of duplicate samples (also known as sample splits) taken at a regular, specifiedfrequency. Duplicate samples will be collected in the field and are expected to contain identicalcontaminant concentrations. Therefore, any variability in the reported analyses is attributable tovariability introduced by sampling, handling, or analytical procedures. Analysis of field duplicatesamples provides an estimate of overall sampling and analysis precision. Frequency ofcollection of field duplicate samples is discussed in Section 9.0. The precision of field duplicateanalyses is expressed as relative percent difference (RPD). Section 11.2 of this QAPP detailsthe formula for calculating RPD.

FinalPart II • Sampling and Analysis Plan


4.5.3 Completeness

Analytical completeness is defined as the percentage of valid analytical results (includingestimated values) obtained from the measurement system compared to the total number ofanalytical results requested on samples submitted for analysis after review of the analyticaldata. The overall analytical completeness goal is 90 percent. Section 11.3 of the QAPP detailsthe formula for calculating analytical completeness.

If the overall analytical completeness goals are not met, the Project Manager will decide if themissing data are crucial or necessary to meeting project Objectives. The decision will be madeafter consulting the project QA/QC Officer and other senior project personnel. If it is decidedthat the data are insufficient, additional field samples will be collected and analyzed. Generally,necessary changes will be recommended for the subsequent sampling period and will besubmitted to EPA through the quarterly reporting process described in Section 4.0 of the WorkPlan.

4.5.4 Representativeness

Representativeness is the degree to which a set of data accurately and precisely represents acharacteristic of a population, parameter conditions at a sample point, or an environmentalcondition. Representativeness will be assessed by evaluating sample locations, frequency, andsample analysis. Representativeness will also be maintained during the sampling effort bycompleting sampling in compliance with procedures described in Section 5.0 of this documentand in respective sections of the FSP. Detailed descriptions of sampling procedures arecontained in the FSP.

4.5.5 Comparability

Comparability expresses the confidence with which one set of data can be compared(measuring the same property) to another set Data can be compared to the degree that theiraccuracy, precision, and representativeness are known and documented. Data are comparableif QC measures such as collection techniques, measurement procedures, methods, andreporting units are equivalent for the samples within a sample set. Data subject to QA/QCmeasures are deemed more reliable and therefore, more comparable, than data generatedwithout such measures.

1/4/00 APPENDIX A • 7 L:\«IOO(M758SWIASAPV475My20.doc



4.6 Accuracy and Precision Limits

Laboratory accuracy and precision limits were selected to meet the project requirements and tobe cost-effectively performed by contract laboratories. The data will be used for riskassessment. The precision and accuracy limits were selected to be at least as stringent asthose contained in the EPA Contract Laboratory Program methods which are used for CERCLArisk assessment. The specified limits are well within the contract laboratory's capability, and willtherefore not impede project schedule or completeness requirements.

Table 4-1 specifies the anticipated accuracy (Percent Recovery) limits for laboratory controlsamples and matrix spikes are specified in Table 4-1. The limits will be used during QC reviewof data validation as specified in Section 9.0. Actual accuracy limits will be determined duringthe methods validation process for each matrix.

Precision limits for laboratory control samples and matrix spike recoveries are specified inTable 4.1. The limits will be used during QC review of data as specified in Section 9.0.

4.7 ProjecT Required DETECTION Limits

Tables 4-1 through Table 4-10 list the practical quantitation limits (PQLs) for each analyticalmethod referenced under the QAPP. The PQL is the lowest level that can be reliably achievedwithin specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine laboratory operating conditions.These PQLs were compared with potential regulatory levels (California Wastewater TreatmentStandards, and Federal and California MCLs) based on the potential future use of the data forrisk evaluation purposes. The laboratory must meet these limits using the analytical methodsspecified in Section 8.0.

Laboratory control percent recovery and precision limits are based on measurements ofduplicates, laboratory control samples, and/or matrix spike duplicates for quantitative tests.Prior to sample analysis, the contract laboratory will run method detection limit (MDL) studies forall analyses. MDLs will be established according to procedures contained in 40 CFR 136Appendix B. The MDL is the detection limit that takes into account the reagents, sample matrix,and preparation steps applied to a sample in specific analytical methods.

5.0 SAMPLING PROCEDURES

This Section discusses sampling procedures.

5.1 Sampling Rationale and Procedures

Section 3.0 of the Work Plan provides the rationale for sample locations, sampling frequency,and analytical parameters. Tables 4-3 of the FSP list the locations, frequencies, and analyticalmethods for groundwater sample collection. Section 6.0 of the FSP describes samplingequipment and procedures.

5.2 Sampling Preservation and Holding Times

Proper sample preservation ensures sample integrity and prevents or minimizes degradation ortransformation of the constituents to be analyzed. Table 9-1 of the QAPP specifies thepreservation and holding time criteria for the chemical analyses. Section 7.0 of the FSPprovides further detail on sample preservation procedures and holding times.

5.3 Sample Labels

Adhesive-backed sample labels will be written with indelible ink and affixed to the containers. Ata minimum, the following information will be provided on each sample label:

• Sample identification number• Date and time of sample collection• Sampler's initials• Sample preservative

Additional information, as appropriate, will be included for sample types required by theapplicable sampling procedures designated in Section 6.0 of the FSP. Section 5.2 of the FSPspecifies sample designation procedures.

5.4 Decontamination

Decontamination of sampling equipment will be performed to prevent cross-contamination ofsamples. Decontamination will be performed before, between, and after each use of thesampling equipment unless disposable or dedicated sampling equipment is used.

6.0 SAMPLE CUSTODY

A sample is defined as physical evidence collected from a hazardous waste site, immediateenvironment, or another source. Because of the potential evidentiary nature of samples, thepossession of samples must be traceable from the time the samples are collected until they areintroduced as evidence in enforcement proceedings.

Chain-of-custody (COC) procedures are used to maintain and document sample possession.The principal documents used to identify samples and possessions can include:

COC records.Air bills or shipping records (e.g., Federal Express, Purolator, etc.)Field notebooksPhotographs of the investigationLaboratory logs.

A COC will be maintained for samples. All sample containers will be appropriately labeled andsealed as described in Section 7.0 of the FSP.

6.1 Laboratory Custody Procedures

The following laboratory custody procedures will be followed throughout the duration of theProject:

• A designated sample custodian will accept custody of the shipped samples andverify that the samples received match those on the COC record. The samplecustodian will properly document receipt of all arriving samples and note anyproblems or discrepancies between the COC record and the container and seal.Discrepancies will be immediately reported to the Field Work Manager. Pertinentinformation concerning as to shipment, pickup, and/or courier will be should beentered the "Remarks" section of the COC record's "Remarks" section. Thelaboratory custodian will enter the COC record's sample number(s) into alaboratory logbook. The laboratory custodian may use the sample identificationlabel number or assign a unique laboratory number to each sample.

• The laboratory custodian must assure that all samples are transferred to theproper analyst or stored in the appropriate secured area.

• Laboratory personnel are responsible for the care and custody of samples fromthe time they are received until the sample is exhausted or returned to thecustodian. The data of sample analysis are recorded on the laboratory reportform.

CSA015382

1/4/00 APPENDIX A - 1 1 L:\40000V47588\WIASAIM7588y20.doc



• When sample analyses and necessary QA checks have been completed in thelaboratory, the unused portion of the sample and the container must be properlydisposed. All data sheets and laboratory records are retained as part of thepermanent documentation program. Concurrent with data reporting, a copy ofthe completed COC record will be returned to the Project Manager for inclusionin the Project file. The sample custodian will retain the original COC record.

1/4/00 APPENDIX A - 22 L:\«00<A4758»WP«AI>U7S88y20.doc



included. Database files will be created and the data will be processed in accordance with theprocedures outlined in the Work Plan. The CSC and its contractor will have access to the databased on need.

9.5 Field Data Reduction

The field and technical (non-laboratory) data generated at the Site can generally becharacterized as either objective or subjective. Objective data include all direct measurements,such as field screening and analytical parameters, and water level measurements. Subjectivedata include certain descriptions and observations (e.g., clarity of a water sample).

9.5.1 Field and Technical Data Reduction

Field personnel will record field data in bound field notebooks and on standard forms. Forexample, field team members will keep a chronological log of sampling activities, a descriptivelog of depth to water in each well, and other pertinent well information (i.e., visibly checkedcasing, recharge problems, missing well caps, etc.). It will be the field personnel's responsibilityto photocopy field logs, (including notebook pages and standard forms). Field personnel willprovide photocopies to the Field Work Manager who, in turn, will maintain field log files.

After checking the validity of data in the field notes and on standard forms, the Field WorkManager will set up data files for direct input into the Project database. Subjective data will befiled in hard copy for subsequent review by the Project Manager and appropriate incorporationin technical reports.

9.5.2 Field and Technical Data Validation

Validation of objective field and technical data will be performed at two different levels. The firstlevel of data validation will be performed at the time of collection following standard proceduresand QC checks to ensure that the correct codes and units have been included. Anyinconsistencies or variances discovered by the Field Work Manager will be resolvedimmediately, if possible, by seeking clarification from the field personnel responsible forcollecting the data. Subjective field and technical data will be validated by the Project Managerduring a review of field reports for reasonableness and completeness. In addition, randomchecks of sampling and field conditions will be made by the Field Work Manager and theQA/QC Officer.

9.6 Reconciliation with User Requirements

Data will be assessed by comparing validated data results with the DQOs identified in Section4.0 of the Work Plan. In the event that an Objective has not been achieved, the CSC ProjectCoordinator will be notified. Limitations and sources of the data will be clearly identified in theSemi-annual Report

10.0 INTERNAL QUALITY CONTROL

10.1 Quality Control Assessment Procedure

Field duplicates, trip blanks, and rinsate blanks will be collected and submitted to the analyticallaboratory to assess the quality of the data resulting from the field sampling program. Likewise,the laboratory will produce internal samples consisting of laboratory control samples, laboratoryduplicates, and method blanks to assess the quality of data resulting from laboratoryprocedures.

Field duplicate samples will be analyzed to check for sample and laboratory reproducibility. Tripblank samples will be analyzed to check for procedural contamination, cross-contamination, andlaboratory contamination during shipment and storage of aqueous samples. The rinsate blankswill be used as a measure of contamination of samples from the sampling equipment. Thematrix spike and laboratory control samples will be analyzed to assess if recoveries that falloutside acceptable ranges are attributable to sample matrix interference, or, laboratoryanalytical errors. The accuracy of the analysis will also be measured. Laboratory duplicates forpesticide analyses and matrix spike duplicates for organic analytes will be analyzed to evaluatelaboratory reproducibility. The following sections present specific QC sample descriptions andfrequency minimums for collection requirements. Appendix A provides the Project analyticallaboratory's QA/QC documentation.

10.2 Field QC Checks

The following subsections outline the field QC samples that will be collected and analyzedduring field efforts.

10.2.1 Field Duplicate

A field duplicate is an environmental sample that is divided into two separate aliquots. Thealiquots are processed separately and the results are compared to evaluate the effects of thematrix on the precision of the analysis. Results are expressed as RPD between the duplicatealiquots analyzed. Duplicate field samples will be obtained at a rate of 10 percent of the totalnumber of original samples collected. Field duplicate samples will be identified and labeled inaccordance with the sample nomenclature procedures described in Section 5.2 of the FSP.Consequently, field duplicate samples will be submitted "blind" to the analytical laboratory. If theresults of field duplicates differ dramatically, an analytical problem may exist, or, the matrix isnot homogeneous and data must be critically assessed.

CSA015395

1/4/00 APPENDIX A - 24 L:\4000<M758»vmSAPV47»8y20.ctoc



10.2.2 Field Blanks and Equipment Blanks

Field blanks are used to evaluate the adequacy of field decontamination procedures. Fieldblanks are prepared by pouring blank water directly into sample containers. Equipment blanksare prepared in the field by pouring "clean" deionized, distilled, or laboratory preparedorganic-free water over or through sample collection devices or equipment. An equipment blankis prepared at a frequency of one per sampling day per equipment type per environmentalmedia, but no more than 10 percent of the total number of samples.

10.2.3 Trip Blank

A trip blank is a pre-cleaned and pre-certified, 40 ml VOC sample vial filled with contaminant-free water at the laboratory. The trip blank is shipped to and from the field with the samplecontainers. It is not opened in the field, and therefore, provides a test for contaminationresulting from sample preservation, site conditions, transport, or, sample storage, preparationand analysis. Trip blanks are used to detect cross-contamination of VOCs, and therefore, areonly analyzed for VOCs. A trip blank is submitted at a frequency of one per sample shipped tothe laboratory.

10.3 Laboratory QC Checks

The following are the QA/QC Program's stated requirements:

• verify that procedures are documented, inclusive of any changes inadministrative and/or technical procedures;

• document that analytical procedures have complied with sound scientificprinciples, and have been validated;

• monitor the performance of the laboratory by a systematic inspection program,and provide for corrective action as necessary;

• verify that data are properly recorded and archived; and

• validate the analytical procedures and extractions (if performed), on surrogatesanalyzed by the lab for all organic parameters.

Two types of QA checks will be used to assess the production of analytical data of known anddocumented quality. These include:

• Program quality assurance• Analytical method quality control

All laboratory procedures are documented in writing as either SOPs or Method Procedures(MPs), and are edited and controlled (see Appendix A). Internal QC procedures for analytical

1/4/00 APPENDIX A - 25 L:\40000\475S8\VmSAP\475S8y20.doc



services will comply with the analytical laboratory's SOPs. These procedures specify the typesof QC samples required (sample spikes, method spikes, reference samples, controls, blanks);the frequency of each QC sample; the compounds to be used for sample spikes; and the QCacceptance criteria.

In each data package, the laboratory will document that analytical QC functions have been metAny analyzed samples that fail to meet QC criteria will be reanalyzed by the laboratory, if thelaboratory control procedures indicate that the laboratory procedures were not within anacceptable range. Reanalyzation of samples will occur if sufficient sample volume is availablefor reanalysis. QC check samples (method blanks, MS/MSD, duplicates, etc.) will be analyzedconcurrent with the sample batch to which they are assigned. Any deviations or modificationsfrom the published EPA procedures or the SOP must be documented and clearly noted in thecase narrative. A description of the laboratory produced QC samples is given below.

10.3.1 Matrix Spike/Spike Duplicate

MS/MSD sample analyses are used to evaluate the effect of the sample matrix on the accuracyand precision of the laboratory method. An MS/MSD is an environmental sample to whichknown concentrations of analytes have been added. The MS/MSD is taken through the entireanalytical procedure and the recovery of the analytes calculated. Results are expressed as apercentage of the recovery of the known amount spiked. The laboratory will be required to runa blank spike at the same level as the MS. MS/MSD analysis will be conducted at a rate of onefor every matrix batch of 20 samples. The sample for MS/MSD analysis will be designated onthe COC by field sampling personnel as laboratory a QC sample; extra sample volume will becollected for MS/MSD samples. A determination will be made in the field concerningrepresentative matrices. Table 4-1 lists QC Acceptance limits for MS/MSD percentagerecoveries and RPDs.

10.3.2 Method Blank

A method blank consists of analyte-free deionized water. The method blank is carried througheach step of the analytical methodology. Method blanks will be analyzed at a rate of one forevery 20 environmental samples or analytical batch, whichever is greater.

10.3.3 Laboratory Control Sample or Duplicate Control Sample

A Laboratory Control Sample (LCS), otherwise referred to as a Duplicate Control Sample(DCS), is a standard reference material of similar matrix to the environmental samples beingprepared and analyzed in a batch. It is used to both validate the preparation method andcontrol instrument precision and accuracy. LCSs or DCSs are analyzed at a rate of one 1 forevery 20 samples or one for every analytical batch, whichever is greater. At least 80 percent ofthe compounds in the LCS/DCS must meet acceptance criteria as described in Section 4.0.Otherwise, affected samples will be reanalyzed, or resampled and reanalyzed.

11.0 PRECISION, ACCURACY, AND COMPLETENESS ASSESSMENT

The reliability and credibility of analytical laboratory results are established through a program ofutilizing randomly selected duplicate analyses and trip and field blanks, and analyzing standardsor spiked samples.

Accuracy is reported as the percent recovery of a parameter from a sample of known valuewithin a given analytical procedure. Precision of analytical results may be established as therelative percentage difference from true values, or, from the mean of replicate analyses.

The procedures described herein are designed for the acquisition of accurate and precise datafor each analytical method and analyst. To ensure that reliable data continue to be produced,systematic checks must show that test results remain reproducible, and that the methodology isactually measuring the quantity of analyte in each sample. Quality assurance begins withsample collection and only ends when the resulting data have been reported.

The following procedures will be used to evaluate data accuracy, precision, and analyticalcompleteness.

11.1 Accuracy

Accuracy protocols determine bias in a measurement system. Sources of errors include thesampling process; field contamination; handling; sample matrix; sample preparation; andsample analysis techniques. Analytical accuracy may be assessed using QC samples(laboratory control samples and surrogates) and matrix samples. Accuracy is expressed aspercent recovery for laboratory control samples and surrogates as follows:

Percent Recovery = X * 100T

where X = the observed value of measurements

T = "true" value

These recoveries will be compared with the control limits (Table 4-1). Outliners will beassessed in conformance with other QC data. If the surrogate percent recovery limits areexceeded, the data will be assessed as specified in Section 9.1.

The matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate sample results will be used to calculate the percentrecovery as an indicator of matrix effects as follows:

Percent Recovery = X-S x 100

(for matrix spikes) CSA015399

1/4/00 APPENDIX A - 28 L:\40000U7588\WP»SAIM7588y20.doc

FinalPart 11 - Sampling and Analysis Plan


where X = observed value after spike

S = sample value

T = amount spiked

The matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate percent recoveries will be compared withlimits shown in Table 4-1 and data assessed in accordance with Section 9.0.

11.2 Precision

Precision measures the reproducibility of measurements under a given set of conditions. It is aquantitative measurement of the variability of a group of measurements compared to theiraverage value.

Precision will be expressed as relative percent difference (RPD) for duplicate environmentalsamples, duplicate control samples, and for MS/MSD samples, as follows:

RPD(%) = S-D X10Q

(S + D) 12

where S = first sample value (original)

D = second sample value (duplicate)

The RPDs will be compared with the limits in Table 4-1 and data assessment conducted inaccordance with Section 9.0.

11.3 Completeness

The Project Manager will assess the data's usefulness and fulfillment of QA requirements afterreviewing the data packages. The assessment will address sample collection; sample handling;field data; consideration of blank values and field duplicate values; and additional flagging ofqualified data for use at each Site location.

The analytical completeness will be calculated by deriving the ratio of the sum of the acceptableand estimated analytical results to the total number of analytical results requested on samplessubmitted for analysis. The calculation is as follows.

% Completeness = ____Accepted Analytical Results_______Total Number of Analytical Results Requested

CSAO15400




If the 90 percent confidence goal is not met, the Project Manager will decide if the data aresufficient for characterization or other purposes. If the data are inadequate, additional fieldsamples may need to be collected to accomplish Project goals. The CSC's Project Coordinatorwill be involved in making decisions to resample and reanalyze data based on the extent of thedata's deficiencies and importance in the overall context of the Project.

12.0 PERFORMANCE AND SYSTEM AUDITS

Two types of audits may be conducted to monitor implementation of the QAPP and SOPs. Aperformance audit involves submittal of a blind sample of known composition to the laboratory,or submittal of a replicate sample to an alternate laboratory for quantitative comparison with thedata routinely obtained by the measurement system. A systems audit involves on-siteevaluation of the laboratory or other project activities for compliance with the QAPP and SOPs.

12.1 Performance Audits

A performance evaluation sample may be submitted to the laboratory if problems are identifiedin the analytical results. Additional performance audits will be performed at the request of theAnalytical Chemist, QA Manager, or Project Manager. These audits will be conducted whenany one of these individuals decide that laboratory data packages contain discrepancies thatwarrant further investigation. Any discrepancies identified in performance audit results will beresolved with the laboratory before submitting additional Project samples for analysis.

12.2 Systems Audits

One systems audit will be performed during the field activities to allow for meaningful and timelycorrective actions, if warranted. At the direction of the QA Manager, and dependent on theresults of the initial audit, follow-up audits of field activities may be performed to confirmeffectiveness of corrective actions. Additional systems audits may also be performed at therequest of the client or the Project Manager. Systems audits of the laboratory may also beperformed. Audits will be scheduled with the Laboratory Manager and care will be taken tominimize interference with work activities.

13.0 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Equipment and instruments used in the Site investigations will have prescribed routinemaintenance and calibration schedules. Qualified personnel will perform preventivemaintenance. These actions will assist in efforts to provide analytical data that are of sufficientquality to meet quality assurance requirements.

13.1 Field Instruments

All field instrumentation, sampling equipment, and accessories will be maintained in operatingorder. Calibrations will be made in the field daily or at the manufacturer's recommendedfrequency. Maintenance will be performed according to the manufacturer's specifications asnecessary.

13.2 Laboratory Instruments

The laboratory will follow the method-specific procedures for preventative and unscheduledmaintenance, calibration, and corrective action. This section identifies the general maintenanceroutines that must be followed by the laboratory to meet the Project's minimum requirements.

The laboratory is responsible maintaining its laboratory equipment. Preventive maintenance willbe provided on a scheduled basis to minimize down time and interruption of analytical work. Allinstruments will be maintained in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations and goodlaboratory practice.

Designated laboratory personnel will be trained in routine maintenance procedures for all majorinstrumentation. Repairs will be made by either qualified staff or the instrument manufacturer'sservice engineers and technicians. The laboratory will have back up instruments to minimizedown time potential. All maintenance and analytical runs will be documented and kept inpermanent logs. These logs will be available for review by auditing personnel.

The laboratory will record both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, includingmaintenance related to operational failures. The designated laboratory Operations Coordinatorwill regularly review maintenance records to ensure that required maintenance is occurring.Details of these procedures are provided in the method-specific SOPs located in Appendix A ofthis QAPP.

1/4/00 APPENDIX A - 32 L:\40000\47SW\WP\SAP\47588y20.doc



14.0 CORRECTIVE ACTION

Any nonconforming conditions identified during performance or system audits that cannot beimmediately corrected to the investigator's satisfaction will be documented and resolved at theearliest opportunity by the QA Manager. The QA Manager will confirm completion of allrequired actions.

14.1 Laboratory Corrective Actions

The laboratory department supervisors will review the data generated to verify that all QCsamples have been run according to protocol. Recoveries of matrix spike and matrix spikeduplicate samples will be evaluated for consistency with method accuracy and methodprecision, respectively, using the data quality goals discussed in Section 4.0. Data from thelaboratory control samples will be evaluated according to the Laboratory SOP (Appendix A).Analytical data generated with laboratory control samples that fall within the established controllimits will be judged as being in control. Data generated with laboratory control samples that donot fall within control limits are considered suspect. The analysis will be repeated, or, theresults will be reported with qualifiers.

Laboratory personnel will be alerted that corrective actions may be necessary if when thefollowing conditions occur:

• QC data are outside the warning or acceptable range for precision andaccuracy established for laboratory control samples.

• Blanks contain contaminants at concentrations above the levels specifiedin the QAPP for any target compound.

• Undesirable trends are detected in matrix spike recoveries or RPDbetween matrix spike duplicates.

• There are unusual changes in detection limits.

• Deficiencies are detected by the laboratory QA Director during internal orexternal audits, or, after reviewing results of performance evaluationsamples.

Corrective actions will be immediately implemented if any nonconformities in analyticalmethodologies or QC sample results are identified.

Corrective action procedures will be handled initially at the bench level by the analyst. Theanalyst will review the preparation or extraction procedure for possible errors; and check theinstrument calibration; spike and calibration mixes; and instrument sensitivity. The analyst will

_______________________________________ CSAO154041/4/00 APPENDIX A - 33 L:V«000\47$S»WP\SAP\47Jg8y20.doc



immediately notify his/her supervisor of any identified problems and the methods used forconducting the identification. If the problem persists or cannot be identified, the matter will bereferred to the laboratory supervisor and Laboratory Program Administrator for furtherinvestigation. Once resolved, full documentation of the corrective action procedures will be filedwith the Laboratory Project Administrator and the Project QA/QC Officer. Documentation isprovided a corrective action memo for inclusion into the project file if data are affected.

Corrective action may include, but may not be limited to:

• Reanalyzing suspect samples.• Resampling and analyzing new samples.• Evaluating and amending sampling and/or analytical procedures.• Accepting data with an acknowledged level of uncertainty.• Recalibrating analytical instruments.• Discarding irrelevant or incorrect data.

Data deemed unacceptable following implementation of the required corrective action measureswill not be accepted by the Laboratory Project Manager, who will explore follow-up correctiveactions.

14.2 Immediate Corrective Action

Any equipment and instrument malfunctions will require corrective action. The field andlaboratory quality control measures and QA audits are working tools that identify appropriatecorrective actions to be taken in the event of non-conformance to plan or QC limits. Theseprocedures provide the framework for uniform actions as part of normal operating procedures.Corrective actions taken will be recorded in field or laboratory logbooks, and will be applied on-the-spot as required.
