Laboratory Analyses. The soil vapor samples were submitted to Sequoia Analytical Laboratory on the day of sample collection. Soil vapor samples were analyzed within 24 hours of receipt. Laboratory reporting sheets of the analytic results are contained in Appendix C. Soil vapor analytic results are summarized in Table 4. It should be noted that all trip blanks contained detectable levels of contaminants. Methylene chloride was detected in trip blanks for sampling performed on April 27, 28, and July 6, 1989. Methylene chloride is a chemical that is widely used in a number of products and applications, is found in ambient air in the Bay Area, and is typically used in analytical laboratories. The trip blanks suggest that methylene chloride concentrations detected in the samples below approximately 50 ppb may be the result of sample or laboratory contamination. The presence of chloroform in one of the trip blanks (April 28, 1989) and of benzene in another trip blank (July 6, 1989) suggested that both chloroform and benzene detected in the samples below approximately 10 ppb may also be the result of contamination. 112 TABLE 4 COMPOUNDS DETECTED IN VAPOR WELLX Well Number Compound Detected Concentration (ppb) ----------- ----------------- ------------------- Samples taken on April 27, 1989
Laboratory Analyses. All soil samples for contaminant analysis were refrigerated by means of an ice chest and transported to the McLaren Environmental Analytical Laboratory within 24 hours. The surface soils were analyzed for metal content (17 CAM/TTLC metals), semi-volatile compounds (EPA Method 8270). and chlorinated pesticides (EPA Method 8080). The subsurface samples were analyzed for metal content (17 CAM/TTLC metals), volatile organic compounds (EPA Method 8240), and semi-volatile compounds (EPA Method 8270). The analysis for volatile organics was not performed on the surface samples since it is unlikely that highly volatile compounds would be detectable in the surface soils. Tables 7, 8, and 9 contain summaries of the analytic results for the surface soils; Tables 9, 10, 11, and 12 contain summaries of the analytic 122 TABLE 7 METALS DETECTED IN 20 COMPOSITED SURFACE SOIL SAMPLES COLLECTED 6/29/89 THROUGH 7/5/89 (17 CAM/TTLC METHOD) METAL* CONCENTRATIONS (ppm)
Laboratory Analyses. The seven surface soil samples were analyzed for water content by Sequoia Analytical Laboratory within one week of submission. The results are contained in Table 13. The twelve subsurface soil samples were analyzed by Soil Mechanics Laboratory within a week of their receipt. Laboratory analyses of the subsurface samples included lithologic descriptions, bulk density determinations, and water content determinations. Bulk density and water content results for the subsurface samples are contained in Table 14. Appendix D contains all laboratory analytic results for soil samples. 133 TABLE 13 SURFACE SOIL MOISTURE ANALYTIC RESULTS APRIL 1989 134 TABLE 14 SUBSURFACE SOIL BULK DENSITY IUD MOISTURE ANALYTIC RESULTS JUNE 1989 Dry Sample Site Sample Depth Bulk Density Water Content Well Number (feet) (g/cm(3)) (percent dry weight) ----------- ------ -------- -------------------- VW-1 1.5 - 2.0 1.09 43.1 VW-1 5.5 - 6.0 1.44 24.5 VW-2 1.5 - 2.0 1.15 46.0 VW-2 4.5 - 5.0 1.41 16.5 VW-3 1.5 - 2.0 1.18 22.7 VW-3 4.5 - 5.0 1.29 30.8 VW-4 1.5 - 2.0 1.36 26.0 VW-4 4.5 - 5.0 1.69 18.4 VW-5 1.5 - 2.0 1.22 40.7 VW-5 4.5 - 5.0 1.22 39.8 VW-6 1.5 - 2.0 1.34 34.3 VW-6 4.5 - 5.0 1.08 39.5 Average: 1.29 31.9 135
Laboratory Analyses. Fifteen groundwater samples collected from 13 monitoring wellx xxxe analyzed for the following: metal content (17 CAM/TTLC metals), chlorinated pesticides (EPA Method 608), semi-volatile organic compounds (EPA Method 625), volatile organic compounds (EPA Method 624), and for cyanide. Repeat sample of well P-1B was analyzed for volatile organic compounds and semi-volatile organic compounds; repeat sample UGP-l was analyzed for volatile organic compounds; and, repeat sample UGP-2 was analyzed for chlorinated pesticides.
Laboratory Analyses. The Medical Examiner shall conduct a postmortem toxicological analysis, if appropriate, and any other tests considered necessary to assist in determining the cause and manner of death and identification.
Laboratory Analyses. Laboratory preparation and processing, artifact analyses, and sample selection for specialized analyses will begin following completion of Phase II fieldwork. All artifact analyses (e.g. ceramic, flake stone, ground stone, shell, faunal) and biological, soil, and artifact samples selected for specialized analyses will follow the methods described in the approved HPTP (Xxxxxxx 2018) and its addendum (Xxxxxxx 2019). Basic inventories of ceramics, lithics, and historic artifacts will be completed in-house by qualified Xxxxx Xxxxxxx employees. Osteological documentation will also be completed in house by a qualified employee or subconsultant. Analysis of faunal remains and shell will be outsourced to a qualified employee or subconsultant for analysis and reporting. Specialized artifact and material analyses include the following: • Paleoenvironmental analyses of pollen, phytolith, macroinvertebrate (ostrocode), and macrobotanical samples; • Radiocarbon dating (accelerated mass spectroscopy); • Luminescence dating (thermal luminescence [TL] or OSL); • Archaeomagnetic dating; • Geomorphological analyses of sediments, including soil particle size analysis; • X-ray florescence (XRF) analysis of artifacts made from obsidian and vesicular basalt to determine geographic provenance; • Ceramic compositional analyses including petrographic thin-sections from a sample of ceramics; • Analysis of archival and historical documents. The curation facility for the Phase II investigation has not yet been established. Artifacts and project records will be curated with either THM, SRP-MIC’s Hohokam Ki Museum (HKM), School of Human Evolution and Social change (SHESC) at Arizona State University, or Pueblo Grande Museum, City of Phoenix (PGM) after the final technical report has been reviewed and accepted by consulting parties. All artifacts will be prepared for curation in accordance with ASM statewide standards, the standards of the curation facility chosen, and protocols for artifact storage, documentation, and preservation, as outlined at 36 CFR Part 79. Also, any recovered human remains and associated funerary objects and objects of cultural patrimony will be treated in accordance with the Burial Agreement and repatriated with the SRP-MIC or other affiliated descendent community.
Laboratory Analyses. The Contractor shall send soil, water, air, and asbestos samples to outside laboratories for analysis. The User Agency will reimburse the Contractor for laboratory services for samples collected on a chain of custody basis (assuming the standard laboratory chain of custody form includes a minimum of ten (10) separate samples). The laboratory chain of custody form will be filled out documenting samples collected from a property for which soil or air samples are collected. One chain of custody form per property, per sample event. A sample event encompasses soil, water, air, or bulk asbestos samples collected from one property on the same day. The Contractor shall ensure laboratory sample analysis reporting turn-around- times do not exceed seven (7) calendar days from the date of sample collection. When directed by the IMT to run expedited analytical sample analyses (24-hour lab analysis turn-around-times) the A&M Contractor will be reimbursed at a fixed rate of two (2) times Proposer’s laboratory base rate rates per COC for the listed constituents. All laboratory sample containers, packaging, sample preservation, storage, shipping, handling, preparation, processing, and reporting of results shall be provided by the contractor at no additional cost.
Laboratory Analyses. MDH shall provide laboratory services for water samples collected by the Board under this Agreement. Notwithstanding MDH’s responsibility, the Board has the option of submitting any or all samples to other laboratories certified by MDH Public Health Laboratory Certification Program. The Board must provide to MDH a copy of its quality management plan that demonstrates the sample collection, and reporting of results is no less stringent than MDH standard operating procedures. The Board will be responsible for all costs associated with the shipping, analysis and reporting of results including quality assurance results
