~2~q~y0o1~C field duplicates for private and monitorinJ well samplina is one per 20 samples collected per sample maUb In th is case the aqueous samples from the private and rnonnorinJ wells are considered two differtnt maaicn The frequency of Jaseoos fi eld duplicates for the Soil Gas Surve y is one per 20 samples collec1ed and analyzed
Soil 111 duplcares are collecred by urracrina separate aliquou from rhe probe The initial sample is collecred in a syri nae and analyzed Conditions are allowed 10 equilibrare for 11 Jeasr 5 minutes and then a duplicm1e sample aliquoc is coUecled in the syrinae and analyzed
Field duplica~es are handled transponed and anal yzed in he same manner as are the orher samples collec~ed 1ha1 day
Duplicate restinJ will also be undenaken for pH conductivily ~emperature ndiarion explosivily field intensiry and elevariondistance at a frequency of at leut I in 20 measuremems
The resuhs obtained from analyzina field duplicares are used to assess and documenl the reproducibilily of overall samplinJ handlinJ and analyrical procedures Duplicate samples raken in the field represent rhe non-homoaeneity of field conditions Therefore it is expected rhat precision estimates obcained from the analysis of field duplicate samples will have substantial associated variability more so than replicate samples prepared in the laboratory
11 22 Ubcntory AepllcatH Replicate samples are defined as rwo sa mple aliquots taken from the same sample comainer and analyzed independe ntly The frequency of laboratory replicates for volatiles analysis of aqueous samples is speci fied in the method references All soil au samples In 1he syri nge are analyzed a1 least a minimum of rwice to insure reproducabiliry

An equipment blank is prepartd by eltposina samplina materials (bottles collection devius etc) to the samphnJ envtronment without allowinamp them to actively mix with the matrix of interest
For 1he aqueous samples collected from the Private and Monitorina Wells deionized distilled water with oraanics removed by carbon adsorption (reaaent water) is sent to the field and used tO produce an equipment blank The rcatent water is exposed to field conditions paned throuah decontaminated sample equipment and collected in an empty sample conta iner for analysis In the case of private wells samples will typically be collected directly into the sample container Thcrdore the equipment blank would be e~tposed only tO field conditions not samplina equipment other than the container

An equipment blank is prepartd by eltposina samplina materials (bottles collection devius etc) to the samphnJ envtronment without allowinamp them to actively mix with the matrix of interest
For 1he aqueous samples collected from the Private and Monitorina Wells deionized distilled water with oraanics removed by carbon adsorption (reaaent water) is sent to the field and used tO produce an equipment blank The rcatent water is exposed to field conditions paned throuah decontaminated sample equipment and collected in an empty sample conta iner for analysis In the case of private wells samples will typically be collected directly into the sample container Thcrdore the equipment blank would be e~tposed only tO field conditions not samplina equipment other than the container

An equipment blank is prepartd by eltposina samplina materials (bottles collection devius etc) to the samphnJ envtronment without allowinamp them to actively mix with the matrix of interest
For 1he aqueous samples collected from the Private and Monitorina Wells deionized distilled water with oraanics removed by carbon adsorption (reaaent water) is sent to the field and used tO produce an equipment blank The rcatent water is exposed to field conditions paned throuah decontaminated sample equipment and collected in an empty sample conta iner for analysis In the case of private wells samples will typically be collected directly into the sample container Thcrdore the equipment blank would be e~tposed only tO field conditions not samplina equipment other than the container
For the soil au maaiK system blanks are run to chetk the decontaminated samplina appantus (probe adaptor IOcc syrinae) for contamination by dtawina ambient air from above around throuah the syste m and comparinJ the analysis to a concumn1ly sampled ambient air analysis
Equipment blanks arc handled (i n the case of the aqueous samples from the wells preserved) tnnsponed and analyzed bulln the same manner as the samples collected that day
Results obtained from analysis of equipment blanks are used to assess the same potential contamination as trip blanks and additional potential contamination from samplinamp equipment used to collect and transfer samples (such as buckets tubina and corers) and site ambient conditions

11 13 Equipment ll1nks The frequenc y of aqueous equipment blanks is one per day of samplina and the frequency of aascous equipmcnc blanks n at least one system blamplk per day of sampUna Equipment blanks will be analyzed as pan of the Private We ll (Subtask 32) MonilorinJ Well (Subutsk 33) and Sot Gas (Subtask 37) Surveys
An equipment blank is prepartd by eltposina samplina materials (bottles collection devius etc) to the samphnJ envtronment without allowinamp them to actively mix with the matrix of interest
For 1he aqueous samples collected from the Private and Monitorina Wells deionized distilled water with oraanics removed by carbon adsorption (reaaent water) is sent to the field and used tO produce an equipment blank The rcatent water is exposed to field conditions paned throuah decontaminated sample equipment and collected in an empty sample conta iner for analysis In the case of private wells samples will typically be collected directly into the sample container Thcrdore the equipment blank would be e~tposed only tO field conditions not samplina equipment other than the container
For the soil au maaiK system blanks are run to chetk the decontaminated samplina appantus (probe adaptor IOcc syrinae) for contamination by dtawina ambient air from above around throuah the syste m and comparinJ the analysis to a concumn1ly sampled ambient air analysis
Equipment blanks arc handled (i n the case of the aqueous samples from the wells preserved) tnnsponed and analyzed bulln the same manner as the samples collected that day
Results obtained from analysis of equipment blanks are used to assess the same potential contamination as trip blanks and additional potential contamination from samplinamp equipment used to collect and transfer samples (such as buckets tubina and corers) and site ambient conditions
1114 Method lllnks The frequency of lflalyzina method blanks in the laboratory for the analysis of
_ volatile oraanics from Private and Monttorinamp Wells is specified in the referenced methods Method blanks for the sot aas survey are analyzed at least once a day

Duplicate tamples are defined u scpante samples Ween from the same soutte The analyncal sul11 obtained from these samples are used to eSiablish control and u seu llld document the p~cJsJon of analysis andor samplinJ so that COITCctive aclions may be 1aken as necessary and precision may be documented Sevtnl types of duplicaiC samples are dcscnbed below
~2~q~y0o1~C field duplicates for private and monitorinJ well samplina is one per 20 samples collected per sample maUb In th is case the aqueous samples from the private and rnonnorinJ wells are considered two differtnt maaicn The frequency of Jaseoos fi eld duplicates for the Soil Gas Surve y is one per 20 samples collec1ed and analyzed
Soil 111 duplcares are collecred by urracrina separate aliquou from rhe probe The initial sample is collecred in a syri nae and analyzed Conditions are allowed 10 equilibrare for 11 Jeasr 5 minutes and then a duplicm1e sample aliquoc is coUecled in the syrinae and analyzed
Field duplica~es are handled transponed and anal yzed in he same manner as are the orher samples collec~ed 1ha1 day
Duplicate restinJ will also be undenaken for pH conductivily ~emperature ndiarion explosivily field intensiry and elevariondistance at a frequency of at leut I in 20 measuremems
The resuhs obtained from analyzina field duplicares are used to assess and documenl the reproducibilily of overall samplinJ handlinJ and analyrical procedures Duplicate samples raken in the field represent rhe non-homoaeneity of field conditions Therefore it is expected rhat precision estimates obcained from the analysis of field duplicate samples will have substantial associated variability more so than replicate samples prepared in the laboratory
11 22 Ubcntory AepllcatH Replicate samples are defined as rwo sa mple aliquots taken from the same sample comainer and analyzed independe ntly The frequency of laboratory replicates for volatiles analysis of aqueous samples is speci fied in the method references All soil au samples In 1he syri nge are analyzed a1 least a minimum of rwice to insure reproducabiliry

An equipment blank is prepartd by eltposina samplina materials (bottles collection devius etc) to the samphnJ envtronment without allowinamp them to actively mix with the matrix of interest
For 1he aqueous samples collected from the Private and Monitorina Wells deionized distilled water with oraanics removed by carbon adsorption (reaaent water) is sent to the field and used tO produce an equipment blank The rcatent water is exposed to field conditions paned throuah decontaminated sample equipment and collected in an empty sample conta iner for analysis In the case of private wells samples will typically be collected directly into the sample container Thcrdore the equipment blank would be e~tposed only tO field conditions not samplina equipment other than the container
For the soil au maaiK system blanks are run to chetk the decontaminated samplina appantus (probe adaptor IOcc syrinae) for contamination by dtawina ambient air from above around throuah the syste m and comparinJ the analysis to a concumn1ly sampled ambient air analysis
Equipment blanks arc handled (i n the case of the aqueous samples from the wells preserved) tnnsponed and analyzed bulln the same manner as the samples collected that day
Results obtained from analysis of equipment blanks are used to assess the same potential contamination as trip blanks and additional potential contamination from samplinamp equipment used to collect and transfer samples (such as buckets tubina and corers) and site ambient conditions

Soil 111 duplcares are collecred by urracrina separate aliquou from rhe probe The initial sample is collecred in a syri nae and analyzed Conditions are allowed 10 equilibrare for 11 Jeasr 5 minutes and then a duplicm1e sample aliquoc is coUecled in the syrinae and analyzed

Duplicate restinJ will also be undenaken for pH conductivily ~emperature ndiarion explosivily field intensiry and elevariondistance at a frequency of at leut I in 20 measuremems
The resuhs obtained from analyzina field duplicares are used to assess and documenl the reproducibilily of overall samplinJ handlinJ and analyrical procedures Duplicate samples raken in the field represent rhe non-homoaeneity of field conditions Therefore it is expected rhat precision estimates obcained from the analysis of field duplicate samples will have substantial associated variability more so than replicate samples prepared in the laboratory

An equipment blank is prepartd by eltposina samplina materials (bottles collection devius etc) to the samphnJ envtronment without allowinamp them to actively mix with the matrix of interest
For 1he aqueous samples collected from the Private and Monitorina Wells deionized distilled water with oraanics removed by carbon adsorption (reaaent water) is sent to the field and used tO produce an equipment blank The rcatent water is exposed to field conditions paned throuah decontaminated sample equipment and collected in an empty sample conta iner for analysis In the case of private wells samples will typically be collected directly into the sample container Thcrdore the equipment blank would be e~tposed only tO field conditions not samplina equipment other than the container
For the soil au maaiK system blanks are run to chetk the decontaminated samplina appantus (probe adaptor IOcc syrinae) for contamination by dtawina ambient air from above around throuah the syste m and comparinJ the analysis to a concumn1ly sampled ambient air analysis
Equipment blanks arc handled (i n the case of the aqueous samples from the wells preserved) tnnsponed and analyzed bulln the same manner as the samples collected that day

An equipment blank is prepartd by eltposina samplina materials (bottles collection devius etc) to the samphnJ envtronment without allowinamp them to actively mix with the matrix of interest
For 1he aqueous samples collected from the Private and Monitorina Wells deionized distilled water with oraanics removed by carbon adsorption (reaaent water) is sent to the field and used tO produce an equipment blank The rcatent water is exposed to field conditions paned throuah decontaminated sample equipment and collected in an empty sample conta iner for analysis In the case of private wells samples will typically be collected directly into the sample container Thcrdore the equipment blank would be e~tposed only tO field conditions not samplina equipment other than the container

An equipment blank is prepartd by eltposina samplina materials (bottles collection devius etc) to the samphnJ envtronment without allowinamp them to actively mix with the matrix of interest
For 1he aqueous samples collected from the Private and Monitorina Wells deionized distilled water with oraanics removed by carbon adsorption (reaaent water) is sent to the field and used tO produce an equipment blank The rcatent water is exposed to field conditions paned throuah decontaminated sample equipment and collected in an empty sample conta iner for analysis In the case of private wells samples will typically be collected directly into the sample container Thcrdore the equipment blank would be e~tposed only tO field conditions not samplina equipment other than the container

An equipment blank is prepartd by eltposina samplina materials (bottles collection devius etc) to the samphnJ envtronment without allowinamp them to actively mix with the matrix of interest
For 1he aqueous samples collected from the Private and Monitorina Wells deionized distilled water with oraanics removed by carbon adsorption (reaaent water) is sent to the field and used tO produce an equipment blank The rcatent water is exposed to field conditions paned throuah decontaminated sample equipment and collected in an empty sample conta iner for analysis In the case of private wells samples will typically be collected directly into the sample container Thcrdore the equipment blank would be e~tposed only tO field conditions not samplina equipment other than the container

An equipment blank is prepartd by eltposina samplina materials (bottles collection devius etc) to the samphnJ envtronment without allowinamp them to actively mix with the matrix of interest
For 1he aqueous samples collected from the Private and Monitorina Wells deionized distilled water with oraanics removed by carbon adsorption (reaaent water) is sent to the field and used tO produce an equipment blank The rcatent water is exposed to field conditions paned throuah decontaminated sample equipment and collected in an empty sample conta iner for analysis In the case of private wells samples will typically be collected directly into the sample container Thcrdore the equipment blank would be e~tposed only tO field conditions not samplina equipment other than the container
For the soil au maaiK system blanks are run to chetk the decontaminated samplina appantus (probe adaptor IOcc syrinae) for contamination by dtawina ambient air from above around throuah the syste m and comparinJ the analysis to a concumn1ly sampled ambient air analysis
Equipment blanks arc handled (i n the case of the aqueous samples from the wells preserved) tnnsponed and analyzed bulln the same manner as the samples collected that day
Results obtained from analysis of equipment blanks are used to assess the same potential contamination as trip blanks and additional potential contamination from samplinamp equipment used to collect and transfer samples (such as buckets tubina and corers) and site ambient conditions

Duplicate tamples are defined u scpante samples Ween from the same soutte The analyncal sul11 obtained from these samples are used to eSiablish control and u seu llld document the p~cJsJon of analysis andor samplinJ so that COITCctive aclions may be 1aken as necessary and precision may be documented Sevtnl types of duplicaiC samples are dcscnbed below
~2~q~y0o1~C field duplicates for private and monitorinJ well samplina is one per 20 samples collected per sample maUb In th is case the aqueous samples from the private and rnonnorinJ wells are considered two differtnt maaicn The frequency of Jaseoos fi eld duplicates for the Soil Gas Surve y is one per 20 samples collec1ed and analyzed
Soil 111 duplcares are collecred by urracrina separate aliquou from rhe probe The initial sample is collecred in a syri nae and analyzed Conditions are allowed 10 equilibrare for 11 Jeasr 5 minutes and then a duplicm1e sample aliquoc is coUecled in the syrinae and analyzed
Field duplica~es are handled transponed and anal yzed in he same manner as are the orher samples collec~ed 1ha1 day
Duplicate restinJ will also be undenaken for pH conductivily ~emperature ndiarion explosivily field intensiry and elevariondistance at a frequency of at leut I in 20 measuremems
The resuhs obtained from analyzina field duplicares are used to assess and documenl the reproducibilily of overall samplinJ handlinJ and analyrical procedures Duplicate samples raken in the field represent rhe non-homoaeneity of field conditions Therefore it is expected rhat precision estimates obcained from the analysis of field duplicate samples will have substantial associated variability more so than replicate samples prepared in the laboratory
