1.0 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS OBJECTIVES

This Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) will identify characterization objectives pertaining to sample collection, laboratory analytical evaluation, and reporting requirements for two push-mode core samples from tank 241-8-204 (8-204). Quality Objective (Dukelow et al. 1995), This data quality objective (DQO) is described in the Tank Characterization Plan (TCP) for tank 241-8-204 (8-204). This SAP will also .identify procedures and requirements for collecting and characterizing samples from tank 8-204 by the push core sampling method.

It is written in accordance with the Tank Safety Screening D a t a

2.0 SAMPLING EVENT REQUIREMENTS

As of July 31, 1995, tank 8-204 contained 189,000 liters (50,000 gallons) of noncomplexed waste corresponding to a waste depth of 656 cm (258 inches). of sludge with 3,800 liters (1,000 gallon) of supernate and no pumpable liquid remaining (Hanlon 1995).

The tank contents were comprised of 185,000 liters (49,000 gallons)

Prior to core sampling, the dome space (below the riser) shall be sampled and analyzed for the presence of flammable gases. The sample shall be taken from within the dome space and the data reported as a percentage of the LFL. The results shall be submitted to the project coordinator within one week of the sampling event. analyzing by gas chromatography/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) or gas-specific monitoring gauges, or gas meter, the necessity for recurring sampling for flammable gas concentration and the frequency of such sampling will be determined by the Flammable Gas Program.

expected to be taken from tank 8-204. Segment 1 is expected to be 28 cm (11 inches) in depth. should each be 48 cm (19 inches) in depth. The sampling objective is to obtain a vertical profile of the waste; therefore, more or less segments may need to be taken depending on the accuracy of the current waste volume records. For detailed information regarding the sampling activities, refer to work package ES-95-00555. This document contains the operating procedures and the chain-of-custody records for this sampling event.

4.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE CONTROL

4.1 LABORATORY OPERATIONS

Laboratories performing analysis in support of this Tank Sampling and Analysis Plan shall have approved and implemented quality assurance project plans. These QA plans shall meet the Hanford Analytical Services Quality Assurance Plan (DOE 1995) minimum requirements as the baseline for laboratory quality systems. Quality requirements for conducting Characterization Project sampling and analysis are described in TWRS Characterization Program Quality Assurance Program Plan (Whelan 1994), Fiscal Year 1995 Tank Waste Remediation System Tank Waste Analysis Plan (Haller 1994), and in this SAP. Characterization Project sampling and analysis shall be conducted in conformance with these quality assurance requirements.

Sample quality control (duplicates, spikes, standards) are identified in Table 1. If no criteria are provided, the performing laboratory shall perform to its quality assurance plan.

4.2 SAMPLE COLLECTION

Before sampling can be performed on a tank, available risers must be identified for use in the sampling event. The selected risers must be inspected and prepared to confirm their ability to be used in sampling. Safety hazards must be identified and special precautions must be made if needed. If deemed necessary by the sampling and tank cognizant engineers, video surveillance should be performed to identify any potential problems that may occur during the sampling event.

Samples are to be taken from a tank and shipped t o the performing laboratory by Sampling Operations in accordance with the respective work package. That work package shall also initiate the chain-of-custody for the samples. Approved procedure TO-080-090 ("Load/Transport Sample Cask(s) ") is to be used during the sampling event. number before being shipped to the performing laboratory. The sampling team is responsible for documenting any problems and procedural changes affecting the validity of the sample in a field notebook. enter this information in the comment section of the chain-of-custody form for addition to the data reports.

Sampling Operations should transport each sample collected to the performing laboratory within one working day of removing the sample from the
