INTRODUCTION

This Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) is written for Phase Iremedial investigation (RI) activities to be conducted atthe five North Penn sites: (1) Gentle Cleaners,Inc./Granite Knitting Mills, Inc.; (2) Ametek Corporation;(3) American Electronics Laboratories, Inc.; (4) Spra-Fin;and (5) J.W. Rex Co./Allied Paint Manufacturing Co.,Inc./Keystone Hydraulics Corporation. The SAP consists ofthree parts:

1. The Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPjP)—The QAPjPdescribes the policy, organization, functionalactivities, and quality assurance and quality controlprotocols necessary to achieve Data Quality Objectives(DQOs) dictated by the intended use of the data.

2. The Field Sampling Plan (FSP)—The FSP providesguidance for all fieldwork by defining in detail thesampling and data-gathering methods to be used duringthe Phase I field activities.

3. The Health and Safety Plan (HSP)—The HSP for the fieldeffort describes CK2M HILL's health and safety programfor the Phase I RI field activities. The HSP identi-fies potentially hazardous operations and exposures andprescribe appropriate protective measures.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The overall objective of the North Penn remedial investiga-tion and feasibility study (RI/FS) is to remediate the fivesites mentioned above. A two-phased approach was selected,as stated, in the second Draft Phase I Work Plan(November 1988).

The primary objective of the Phase I RI field investigationis to determine if there is a potential health hazard toresidents in the vicinity of the five North Penn sitesbecause of contamination of the groundwater supply. Thisobjective will be achieved by sampling residential wellwater from selected homes in the vicinity of each North 'Pennsite. The actual number and location of samples to becollected is described in the field FSP.

Section 1INTRODUCTION

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) policy as stated inthe Guidance for Conducting Remedial Investigations andFeasibility Studies Under CERCLA, August 1988, requiresimplementation of a quality assurance (QA) program for ahazardous waste site investigation. This requirementapplies to all environmental monitoring and measurementefforts mandated by or supported by EPA.

Each investigator has the responsibility to implementprocedures addressing precision, accuracy, completeness,representativeness, and comparability of the data. Inaddition, the investigator should specify acceptable qualitylevels for data. To meet this responsibility uniformly,each investigator must have a written QA Project Plan(QAPjP) covering each project that is investigated.

The QAPjP is prepared by EPA Region III and its contractor.The QAPjP presents, in specific terms, the policies, objec-tives, organization, functional activities, and QA and qual-ity control (QC) activities designed to achieve the dataquality goals of the specific project. Where possible,existing QA/QC guidelines, policies, programs, and otherspecifics are incorporated into the QAPjP by reference.

Section 2 .PROJECT DESCRIPTION

BACKGROUND

Each of the five North Penn sites is located in Montgomery ICounty, Pennsylvania. Figure 2-1 shows the locations of the Isites. Previous investigations by the North Penn WaterAuthority (NPWA), the Pennsylvania Department of Envi-ronmental Resources (PADER), and EPA Region III have detec-ted elevated levels of volatile organic contaminants (VOCs)in groundwater samples from wells at each of the proposedsites and at several NPWA wells near the sites. The primarycontaminants identified to date have been trichloroethene(TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE). Groundwater is the pri- 1mary source of drinking water in the area and contaminationat these facilities prompted EPA in 1986 to conduct a sitediscovery of the entire North Penn area.

The site discovery report was completed in July 1986 and Icontained the following major findings: '

o Twelve distinct areas of groundwater contaminationexist in the North Penn area.

o NPWA has wells in nine of the twelve contaminatedareas.

o Eighteen of NPWA's 53 wells are contaminated withVOCs.

Based on the results of the site discovery report, EPAidentified six sites within the North Penn area and includedthem on the proposed National Priorities List (NPL) inJanuary 1987. Five of the sites are being addressed in thisplan.

PURPOSE

This QAPjP is written solely for the Phase I remedialinvestigation (RI) activity, which is to collect residentialwell water samples from residences obtaining their watersupply from private wells in the vicinity of the fiveproposed sites.

OBJECTIVES

When sampling a potable water supply, care must be taken tocollect representative samples. Poor sampling andanalytical techniques can result in (a) the failure todetect compounds that pose a potential public health threat,or (b) the inaccurate detection of compounds and subsequentunnecessary remedial actions.

The primary objective, of the Phase I RI field investigationis to determine if there is a potential health hazard toresidents in the vicinity of the five North Penn sitesbecause of contamination of their residential well water.Analytical data obtained will also be used to developconceptual site models of the five North Penn sites. Thesemodels will be used in the design of the Phase II RI WorkPlans.

In order to meet the objectives stated above for the Phase IRI activity, the following procedures were considered:

o Samples will be collected in such a manner as tomeasure the maximum probable contamination thatmay exist in the groundwa-er (i.e., samples willbe collected, from the resident's waterdistribution system as close to the wells aspossible and before any in-house treatment).

o Some "pre-purge" samples will be collected to seeif contaminant levels are higher than in purgedsamples.

o In-situ parameters such as pH and specific conduc-tance will be measured to characterize the ground-water. Analytical results of the samples analyzedby the laboratory will also be used for characteri-zation.

o Samples will be analyzed using methods which havedetection limits below the Safe Drinking Water Act(SDWA) maximum contaminant levels (MCLs).

The objectives of this QAPjP are, therefore, to specifyprocedures to obtain representative residential well watersamples at locations to meet Region Ill's recommendations,and to specify sampling and analytical procedures that willpermit identification of the compounds of concern.

Scope of Phase I RI Field Activities

A total of 60 residential well water samples will becollected for the five North Penn sites. The procedures forsample collection and custody are detailed in the FieldSampling Plan (FSP).

Sampling is scheduled for 3 weeks beginning early inFebruary 1989.

Field measurements will include pH and specific conductance.Laboratory analysis will be done for total organic carbon(TOC), total organic halides (TOX), and Target Compound List(TCL) and Target Analyte List (TAL) compounds with a SpecialAnalytical Service (SAS) requests for the volatile organicanalyses (VGA) using Method No. 524.2.

Section 4QUALITY ASSURANCE OBJECTIVES

The Data Quality Objectives (DQO) are (1) to collect data todetermine if the wells are contaminated, (2) to determine ifthe contamination poses a potential threat to human health,and (3) to provide qualitative information for Phase IIRI/FS planning.

Field activities will be assessed by blanks and replicatesand laboratory activities will be subject to SampleManagement Office (SMO) compliance screening. Thefrequencies of quality control measures are shown inTable 4-1 and are described in detail in Section 10. Thefollowing parameters are indicators of the data quality:accuracy, precision, completeness, representativeness, andcomparability. Table 4-2 lists quantitative goals for thedata quality indicator parameters.

4.1 ACCURACY AND PRECISION

Accuracy is a measure of the agreement between an experi-mental determination and the true value of the parameterbeing measured. Analytical accuracy can be determined usingknown reference materials or matrix spikes. Spiking ofreference materials into the actual sample matrix is thepreferred technique because it quantifies the effects of thematrix on the analytical accuracy. Accuracy can beexpressed as the percent recovery (P) as determined by thefollowing equation:

P = S£R~ SR X 100o/\

where: SSR = spiked sample resultSR = sample result (native)SA = spike added

Precision is the measure of the agreement or repeatabilityof a set of replicate results obtained from repeat deter-minations made under the same conditions. The precision ofa duplicate determination can be expressed as the relativepercent difference (RPD) which is determined by thefollowing equation:

ppn -RPD " XI + X2where: XI = first duplicate value

X2 = second duplicate valueFor a given laboratory analysis, the replicate RPD valuesare tabulated, and the mean and standard deviation of the

« RPD are calculated. Control limits 'for precision areusually plus or minus two standard deviations from the mean.

j, Accuracy and precision will be monitored by using fieldreplicate, matrix spike, and matrix spike duplicate samples.These data alone cannot be used to evaluate accuracy and

i precision of individual samples but will be used to assess* the long-term accuracy and precision of the analytical

method for the Phase I RI sampling event.I 4.2 COMPLETENESS

Completeness is defined as the percentage of analyticalmeasurements made which are judged to be valid, validitybeing defined by the DQOs. Percent completeness iscalculated as the number of valid analyses divided by thetotal number of analyses performed times 100. Nationwide,the CLP data has been found to be 80 to 85 percent complete.

4.3 REPRESENTATIVENESS

Representativeness expresses the degree to which sample dataaccurately and precisely represent parameter variations at asampling point. For North Penn, representativeness is ameasure of how closely the measured results reflect theactual distribution and concentration of certain chemicalcompounds in the groundwater. The FSP describes theprocedures to be used to purge the wells and to collectsamples from a discharge point before any treatment. Thisprocess will generate samples which are as representative aspossible of the residential well water supply at a point intime. Documentation of laboratory procedures and of fieldprocedures as described in the FSP will be used to establishthat protocols have been followed and that sampleidentification and integrity have been maintained.

4.4 COMPARABILITY

Comparability is the term that describes the confidence withwhich one data set can be compared to another.Comparability refers to such issues as using standard fieldand analytical techniques and reporting data in the sameunits. This criterion becomes important if more than onefield team is collecting samples or more than one laboratoryis analyzing the samples.

Sample custody procedures, including chain of custody, wereestablished to comply with EPA and the National EnforcementInvestigation Center requirements for sample control. Sam-ple custody procedures are followed when samples aretransferred from sample collection in the field to theanalytical laboratory, and within the analytical laboratory.

The project-specific procedures for sample custody aredescribed fully in Section 3.0 of the FSP.

The samples will be analyzed within the Contract LaboratoryProgram; this includes both routine analytical servicesand special analytical services. The laboratory samplecustodian will accept custody of the samples. As specifiedin the User's Guide to the Contract Laboratory Program, thelaboratory will maintain custody records within thelaboratory.

Section 8ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES

The samples will be measured for pH and conductivity in thefield. Laboratory analysis will be conducted for TOC, TOX,the Target Compound List (TCL) (organics), shown byTable 8-1, and the Target Analyte List (TAL) (inorganics)shown by Table 8-2. Results of the TCL and TAL analyseswill be used to assist in developing the conceptual sitemodels for Phase II RI/FS planning.

Because one of the major objectives of the sampling andanalysis is to assess the possible health risk to well-owners, it is necessary to use methods whose detectionlimits are below the SDWA's MCLs. In order to detect vinylchloride at the MCL of 2.0 yg/1, SAS requests forMethod 524.2 to replace the RAS Method 624 will be submittedfor the volatile organic analyses. RAS methods are plannedfor the remainder of the TCL and TAL.

The SAS requests (Appendix C) specify that quality controlmeasures identical in nature and frequency to CLP require-ments be followed. The requests also specify that CLPdocumentation reauirements be followed.

Section 1C •QUALITY CONTROL CHECKS

A number of QA/QC samples will be collected to check theadequacy of sample collection and analysis, and to monitorlaboratory performance.

Duplicates, blanks, and spiked samples are used to test thesampling technique to determine if the technique affects theanalytical results, to measure the internal consistency ofthe samples, and to estimate any x^ariance or bias in theanalytical process. The field and laboratory QA/QC samplingprocedures are described below.

10.1 FIELD SAMPLING QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES

Quality control replicate (split) samples and blanks areused to provide a measure of the internal consistency of thesamples and an estimate of variance and bias. Table 4-1shows the collection frequencies of the field QC samples.

Blanks provide a measure of cross-contamination sources,decontamination efficiency, and other potential errors thatcan be introduced from sources other than the sample. Twotypes of blanks will be generated during sampling activi-ties: trip blanks and field blanks. Equipment and rinsateblanks are not required because samples will be collecteddirectly from the residential water distribution system.

One trip blank will be included with each daily shipment ofVOA samples. The trip blanks (VOA only) will be preparedprior to each sampling event, shipped or transported to thefield with the sampling bottles, and returned unopened foranalysis. Trip blanks will indicate if there is anycontamination during shipment to the field, from storage in

! t h e field, or from shipment from the field to the analyticallaboratory.

One field blank will be included with each daily shipment of( s a m p l e s . The field blanks will indicate if there is any

contamination by the sampler or from handling of the samplebottle in the field. The sample container will be filled

( w i t h distilled, deionized water in the field at the time ofsampling. Preservatives will be added as appropriate andthe sample container capped, packed, and shipped with thesamples .

One field replicate (duplicate) sample will be obtained forevery 10 field samples collected. The sampling station fromwhich the duplicate is taken will be randomly selected foreach event. Each replicate sample will be split evenly intotwo sample containers and submitted for analysis as twoindependent samples.

10.2 LABORATORY ANALYTICAL QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES

The analytical laboratory will use all of the qualitycontrol elements of the EPA CLP, including matrix spikes,matrix spike duplicates, and laboratory blanks.

Matrix Spike/Matrix Spike Duplicate

Matrix Spike/Matrix Spike Duplicates (MS/MSD) will be spikedin two separate aliquots of a sample selected from a batchof 20 field samples. The MS/MSD will be used to assessaccuracy and precision. The MSD is a sample identical tothe MS which is analyzed to determine the reproducibility ofthe results.

Laboratory Blanks

Method blanks will be analyzed for background contaminationfrom the laboratory as specified by the CLP SOWs.

Section 11PERFORMANCE AND SYSTEMS AUDITS

11.1 LABORATORY PERFORMANCE AND SYSTEMS AUDITS

The analytical laboratory will conduct both internal andexternal quality control checks. External quality controlchecks include participation in certification programs withEPA by analyzing QC samples of known concentrations receivedfrom EPA. Internal quality control checks (replicates,spikes, and duplicates) are performed in accordance with CLPmethods. '

11.2 FIELD TEAM PERFORMANCE AND SYSTEMS AUDITS

A performance audit will be conducted by the SM and FM during thefirst week of sampling to verify that proper procedures arefollowed and that subsequent sample data will be valid. Theaudit will focus on the details of the QA program. Theaudit checklist, which will serve as the guide for theperformance audit for field procedures, is shown inFigure 11-1. The audit will evaluate the following:

o Project responsibilitieso Sample custody procedureso Document controlo Sample identification systemo QC corrective action procedures

An audit report summarizing any results and corrections willbe prepared and filed in the project files. Significantvariances from established procedures will be reported tothe RPM.

Section 13DATA ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES

The precision and accuracy of data will be routinelyassessed to ensure that they meet the requirements of theDQOs presented in Table 4-2. If enough data are generated,the precision, accuracy, and completeness may be assessedusing statistical procedures.

Precision is commonly determined from duplicate samples;thus precision is usually expressed as RPD or relativestandard deviation (RSD). These quantities are defined asfollows.

RPD = 100 x 2 'Xl ~ X2'+ x2)

RSD = (100//2) x [2|X1 - X2|/(X1 + X2) ]

where X. and X,., are the reported concentrationsfor eacn duplicate sample

Accuracy is commonly presented a? percent bias or percentrecovery. Percent bies is a standardized average error;that is, the average error divided by the actual or spikedconcentration and converted to a percentage. Percent biasis unitless so it allows the accuracy of analyticalprocedures to be compared easily.

Percent recovery provides the same information as percentbias. Accuracy is often determined from spiked samples.Percent recovery is defined as:

P% Recovery = •= x 100

*where S = spiked concentration

R = reported concentration

Given this definition it can be shown that

% bias = % recovery - 100

Section 14CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

The SM is responsible for initiating corrective actions.Corrective action steps will include problem identification,investigation responsibility assignment, investigation,action to eliminate the problem, increased monitoring of theeffectiveness of the corrective action, and verificationthat the problem has been eliminated.

Documentation of the problem is important to the overallmanagement of the study. A Corrective Action Request Formfor problems associated with sample collection, shown inTable 14-1, will be completed by the person discovering theQA problem. This form identifies the problem, establishespossible causes, and designates the person responsible foraction. The responsible person will be either the FM or theRTL.

The Corrective Action Request Form includes a description ofthe corrective action planned, and has space for follow-up.The RTL will verify that initial action has been taken andappears to be effective and, at an appropriate later date,recheck to see if the problem has been fully resolved. TheRTL receives a copy of all Corrective Action Request Formsand enters them into the Corrective Action Log. Thispermanent record will aid the RTL in follow-up and willassist in resolving quality assurance problems with the SM.

Examples of corrective actions include, but are not limitedto, correcting chain-of-custody forms, analysis reruns (ifholding time criteria permit), recalibration with fresh

standards, replacement of sources of blank contamination,examination of calculation procedures, additional trainingin sample preparation and analysis, reassignment ofanalytical responsibilities using a different batch ofcontainers, or recommending an audit of laboratoryprocedures. Additional approaches may include:

o Resampling and analyzing

o Evaluating and amending sampling and analyticalprocedures

6. Turn MODE switch to appropriate conductivity scale,(i.e., X300, X10, or XI). Use a scale that will give amid-range output on the meter.

7. Wait for needle to stabilize (about 15 seconds), multi-ply reading by scale setting, and record the conductivity,The conductivity reading must then be corrected fortemperature.

Calculate conductivity using the formula:

[1 + 0.02 (T-25)]

where:

G-r ~ conductivity at 25°C, mS/cm

T = temperature of sample, °C

G = conductivity of sample at temperature T, mS/cm

Table 1 lists the values of conductivity this solution wouldhave if the distilled water were nonconductive. However,since even high purity distilled water is slightly conductive,the measured conductivity will be higher by an amount equalto the water's conductivity.

Section 1INTRODUCTION

This field sampling plan (FSP) describes the scope of fieldactivities to be performed by CH2M HILL during Phase I ofthe North Penn remedial investigation (RI). Phase I RIsampling activities consist of residential well watersampling at selected residences in the vicinity of the fiveproposed National Prorities List (NPL) sites at North Penn.The purpose of the residential well water sampling is todetermine if there is a potential health hazard to residentsfrom contamination of their private water supply. Resultsof this Phase I RI activity will also be used in developingthe design approach for the Phase II RI sampling activities.Phase I sampling activities will be conducted only once.Elements of the FSP as reported in the Guidance forConducting Remedial Investigations and Feasib'i'lity StudiesUnder CERCLA, August, 1988 are discussed in Sections 3 and 4of this document.

1.1 OBJECTIVES

When sampling a potable water supply, care must be taken tocollect representative samples. Poor sampling techniquescan result in (a) failure to detect compounds that pose a

i potential public health threat, or (b) the inaccuratedetection of compounds and subsequent unnecessary remedialactions.

$

| Objectives of the FSP are to specify:

1. The number and locations of samples to be collected

2. The procedures to be used in the field to collectrepresentative residential well water samples

3. The procedures to be used to assure adequate qualitycontrol

Section 2RESIDENTIAL WELL WATER SAMPLING PROGRAM

Residential well water samples will be taken from selectedresidences in the vicinity of each of the North Penn sites.The following criteria will be used to determine whichresidences will be sampled:

o Residences whose occupants obtain their water fromprivate wells

o Residences whose occupants give permission forsampling

o Residences that are most likely to havecontaminated wells based on review of the existingdata

EPA Region III will be responsible for obtaining permissionto sample from property owners.

2 . 1 SAMPLING LOCATIONS AND FREQUENCY

Eighty-seven potential sampling locations have beenidentified for residential well water sampling at the NorthPenn sites. Sixty of the 87 potential sampling locationshave been identified as preferred locations. Thisidentification was based on whether or not the well wassampled previously, proximity to the potentially responsibleparty (PRP) , and the results of any previous sampling. Thepotential sampling locations are distributed across allfive zones of interest as follows:

The rationale for selecting these locations is presented inthe following paragraphs.

In 1986, Versar sampled nine domestic wells in Zone 1. Adetailed survey of all domestic well locations in this zonewas apparently not performed. Table 2-1 includes theaddresses of seven locations proposed for sampling in thiszone. These seven locations were selected for thisresidential well water sampling because of their closeproximity to the PRPs. The locations of these seven wellsare shown in Figure 2-1 and are based on the location mapprovided in Versar's Technical Evaluation of Zone 1.

A well survey was performed for Zone 2 during the week ofDecember 5, 1988, in order to identify those locationswithir 1/2 mile of the PRPs, where domestic water supplywells may be in use. The North Penn Water Authority (NPWA)was consulted for a listing of their customers in thevicinity of Zone 2. Tax maps and other documents showingthe locations of lots in the vicinity of Zone 2 werereviewed. Lots not receiving water service from NPWA wereidentified on. the maps and the locations were visited byCH2M HILL personnel. During this visit it was determinedwhether cr not the lot has a domestic well. If the lot hasa well, the name and address of the owner and the use of thewell'was determined and the well was considered as a

i potential sampling location. Thirty potential samplingf locations were identified, as shown in Table 2-2 and

Figure 2-2.i| In 1987, CDM performed surveys in Zones 5, 6, and 7 to

identify the locations of all domestic water wells within a1/4-mile radius of each PRP in these zones. Information wasobtained on the name of the owner, the address of the resi-dence, the number of users, the use of the well, and otherinformation such as whether or not the well had been sampledby NPWA and whether or not home treatment of the water wasbeing performed. Permission to sample the well for volatileorganic compounds was requested from the residents at thoselocations where the well was used for drinking water. Ifpermission to sample was obtained, CDM then sampled thedrinking water well.

Tables 2-3 through 2-5 and Figures 2-3 through 2-5 presentproposed sampling locations in Zones 5, 6, and 7. Fiftydomestic wells were selected, including those where CDM

could not contact the well owner, as well as those where CDMobtained samples. Locations where the well owner refusedpermission to sample or where the well was not used fordrinking water are not included in the 50 locationsselected. The locations of these 50 wells are based on thelocation maps provided in the CDM well surveys.

To obtain a sample that is more representative ofconcentrations to which the homeowner is exposed, watersamples will be taken as soon as purging begins atapproximately 10 percent of the sampling locations. These"pre-purge" samples should give an indication of whetherthere are high initial contaminant concentrations that mightnot be seen following a 50-minute purge. Pre-purge andpurged sample values will be compared to see if anyadjustments to the sampling procedure should be made beforePhase II RI sampling.

A number of quality control samples will be collected formeasuring errors associated with sample collection,shipping, variability within the analytical laboratory, andlaboratory performance. These samples are discussed indetail in Section 3.4.

2.? TYPES OF ANALYSES

Residential water samples will be analyzed by the ContractLaboratory Program (CLP) according to procedures outlined inthe Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPjP) . CH2M HILL willvalidate the data received from the CLP and provide atracking procedure to manage the flow of samples and data toand from the CLP. One of the intended uses of the data isto assess potential health risks from private well water.In order to detect vinyl chloride at the Safe Drinking WaterAct (SDWA) Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 2.0 vg/1,.Special Analytical Service (SAS) requests for Method 524.2to replace the Routine Analytical Service (RAS) Method 624have been submitted. RAS methods are planned for theremainder of the Target Compound List (TCL) (organics) andfor the Target Analyte List (TAL) (inorganics and cyanide)shown in Table 8-1 and 8-2 of the QAPjP. Total organiccarbon (TOC) and total organic halide (TOX) samples willalso be taken at all pre-purge sampling locations as alaboratory check to ensure that total contaminant levels areaccounted for by the individual chemical analysis results.Table 2-1 of the QAPjP summarizes the sampling andanalytical program.

Section 3SAMPLING OPERATIONS

3.1 PROJECT STAFF TRAINING

Figure 3-1 of the QAPjP identifies the key project staff forthe residential well water sampling. Personnel assigned tooperate field equipment must be certified in the operationof that equipment. Onsite personnel will attend a briefingon site-specific hazards before working at the site.

Key field personnel will receive the FSP, the Health andSafety Plan (HSP) , and the Project Work Plan in time toallow for review prior to field activities.

3.2 SAMPLE COLLECTION PROCEDURES

At the beginning of each day of sample collection, a meetingwill be held to discuss the day's activities and to checkthe equipment list. A sample equipment list is provided byTable 3-1. Homeowners ' requests with respect to thesampling schedule and other restrictions will be adhered toat all times. A well inventory form discuss, d inSection 4.0 will be completed for each well sampled in orderto record information and to provide historical information.A sketch of the property showing the well location and otherpertinent features will also be completed for each well sam-pled .

As discussed in Section 2.2 — Types of Analyses — some watersamples will be obtained as soon as well purging begins.The majority of water samples will be obtained after thewell has been pumped for a period of time to remove stagnantwater from the well and piping. The length of time requiredto pump a well before sampling depends on well, piping, andaquifer characteristics. If information to determine thewell and piping volumes is available from the homeowner, thetime required for purging the well will be calculated at thetime of sampling. Flow rates will be calculated by measur-ing the time required to fill a 1-gallon bucket. The con-version table in Table 3-2 will be used to calculate thevolumes of wells with known diameters.

For wells with no recorded or known characteristics, infor-mation reported in the Pennsylvania Geological Survey publi-cation, Groundwater Resources of the Brunswick Formation inMontgomery an'd Perks Counties, Pennsylvania , 1 9 G 5 , will be

used to determine the minimum time the wells should bepurged. The document indicates an average well diameter of6 inches for wells in the vicinity of the study area. Thedepths of the wells are variable, with an average of 100 to150 feet. The average depth to water is between 30 and70 feet. Using an estimated well column with water depth of150 feet, the well volume is calculated to be approximately225 gallons. The volume of water in the well and house pip-ing is assumed to be 25 gallons. Assuming a 5-gpm pumpingrate, the time required for purging approximately 250 gal-lons of water in the well and piping is estimated to be50 minutes.

The pH and specific conductance of the water obtained fromthe well will be monitored every 10 minutes during purgingas a check that a representative sample is obtained. Purg-.ing will continue until these parameters remain constant(i.e., ±10 percent) between two monitoring events. Whereseptic systems exist, the system will be purged from an out-side tap to prevent overloading of the system. An outsidetap, if possible, will also be used where a water treatmentsystem is present.

Water samples will be obtained immediately after well purg-ing by filling clean, laboratory-supplied sample bottlesdirectly from the tap. Samples will be collected prior toany treatment, filtering device, or aeration.

Samples will be placed in containers and preserved accordingto CLP protocol and analyzed within the proper holding timeas shown by Table 3-3. For volatile organic analysis (VOA)the bottles should be filled so as to minimize aeration ofthe samples, that is, no headspace exists in the bottle. Noair bubbles should be trapped in the bottle. For all sam-ples the bottle cap should be removed carefully from thepreviously decontaminated sample bottle. The cap should notbe laid down nor the inside touched. At no time should theinside of the bottle come into contact with anything otherthan the sample. Preservatives will be added to the bottlesbefore sample collection, but not within the confines of anindividual's home. The pH of the preserved samples will beverified using pH paper. All samples will be kept cool at4°C, using bagged ice.

3.3 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES

Clean sample containers will be obtained from the EPA bottlerepository. The bottle repository will follow standard EPACLP cleaning procedures for the containers to be used forthe residential well water sampling. EPA routinely performsquality control (QC) analysis on containers released forshipment.

Prior to shipment to the field, the boxes of containers willbe sealed using custody seals described in Section 4. Ifthe custody seals are broken when the boxes are selected foruse, the containers in those boxes will not be used. Theboxes will be kept in a secured dedicated area restricted toall but designated field personnel.

3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES

Quality control replicate (split) samples and blanks areused to provide a measure of the internal consistency of thesamples and to provide an estimate of the components of vari-ance and the bias in the analytical process. Table 3-4shows the collection frequencies of the field QC samples.

3.4.1 _ Blanks

Blanks provide a measure of cross-contamination sources,decontamination efficiency, and other potential errors thatcan be introduced from sources other than the sample. High-pressure liquid chromatograph water will be used for blanks.Two types of blanks will be generated during sampling activi-ties: trip blanks and field blanks.

One trip blank will be included with each daily shipment ofVOA samples. The trip blanks (VOA only) will be preparedprior to each sampling event, shipped or transported to thefield with the sampling bottles, and returned unopened foranalysis. Trip blanks will not be prepared or handled inthe field. Trip blanks will indicate if there is any con-tamination during shipment to the field, from storage in thefield, or from shipment from the field to the analyticallaboratory.

One field blank will be included with each daily shipment ofsamples. The field blanks will indicate if there is anycontamination by the sampler or from handling of the samplebottle in the field or contamination in the laboratory. Thesample container will be filled with distilled deionized

water in the field at the time of sampling. The field blankwill be treated in as identical a manner as possible to afield sample. Preservatives will be added as appropriateand the sample container capped, packed, and shipped withthe samples.

3.4.2 Replicates

One field replicate (duplicate) sample will be obtained forevery 10 field samples collected. The sampling station fromwhich the duplicate is taken will be randomly selected foreach event. The sample will be split evenly into two samplecontainers, and submitted for analysis as two independentsamples. These samples will be numbered non-sequentially.

3.5 CHAIK-OF-CUSTODY PROCEDURES

The possession of samples must be traceable through prepara-tion and shipping of containers, collection of samples, andcompletion of sample analysis. Chain-of-custody proceduresare used to maintain and document sample possession duringcollection and analysis. The principal documents used toidentify samples and to document possession are:

o Chain-of-custody records formsc Airbills (e.g., Federal Express, Purolator)o Field notebooks

The following custody documentation procedure, as referencedi in the Compendium of Superfund Field Operations Methods man-; ual will be used for sample collection.

A sample is considered to be in an individual's custody ifthe following criteria are met: it is in that individual'spossession; it is in that individual's view after being inthat individual's possession; or it was in that individual'spossession and then was secured or transferred to a desig-nated secure area. The team members who actually performthe sample collection assume responsibility for the care andcustody of the sample containers until they are transferred

\ or dispatched properly. The Field Manager (FM) will review* all field activities to confirm that proper custody proce-

dures are being followed in the field.

1 The boxes containing the cleaned sample bottles will besealed with custodv tape and will be under the custody ofthe FM.

BR300233

Page 115: Pldnhirig Activities at ^Selected Uncontrolled T Hazardous

Section: 3Revision: 1Date: 12-23-88Paae: 10 of 12

After collection, the samples will be sealed in plasticbags. A team member will complete the chain-of-custodyrecord form shown by Figure 3-1 to accompany each sampleshipment from the field to the analytical laboratory. Thefollowing information will be specified for each sample onthe chain-of-custody form: (1) sample number; (2) date andtime of sample collection? (3) sample location; (4) analysisrequested; (5) case number; (6) traffic report number;(7) bottle tag number; and (8) airbill number. When relin-quishing the samples for shipment, the team member will signin the space indicated at the bottom of the form by enteringthe date and time the samples are relinquished. The teammember will also enter the shipper's name and airbill num-ber.

The custody record will be completed using waterproof ink.Any corrections will be made by drawing a single linethrough the error and initialing and dating the correction.Information may not be erased or rendered unreadable.

The top, original signature copy of the chain-of-custodyrecord form will be enclosed in plastic and secured to theinside of the cooler lid. Shipping coolers will be securedand custody seals placed, across cooler openincs. As long ascustody forms are sealed inside the sample cooler and cus-tody seals remain intact, commercial carriers are not re-quired to sign off on the custody form. The condition ofthe custody seals is to be recorded in the preparation log-book at the preparation laboratory upon receipt of the cool-

i e r s . The second copy of the chain-:of-custody record is re-tained by the FM; the third copy is also retained and givento the Site Manager (SM) .

3.6 SAMPLE SHIPPING PROCEDURES

Certain shipping procedures must be used to meet the chain-of-custody and sample preservation requirements. Listedbelow are the procedures for shipping the samples from thefield.

1. The sample tag will be completed as soon as the sampleis collected in the field and the sample label will besecured to the outside of the container with cleartape.

2. The filled sample container will be placed in a 2 -mil-thick (or thicker) polyethylene bag, one sample perbag. Tags should be positioned so they can be readthrough the bag.

3. The bagged containers (surrounded by styrofoam orvermiculdte packing material for stability duringtransport) will be placed in a cooler with sufficientbagged ice to maintain an internal temperature of 4°C.All documentation must be properly executed, sealed ina plastic bag, and taped to the inside cooler lid.

4. The cooler will be secured with fiber tape and custodyseals to maintain its integrity during shipment.

5. The samples will be shipped from the field on the daythey are collected.

6. The Sample Management Office (SMC) will be called aftereach shipment and provided the following information:

Section 4DOCUMENTATION

At a minimum, proper documentation must follow the proceduresdiscussed in this section. Additional requirements mayarise as the project develops.

Sample tracking numbers will refer to one of the five sitesand sample number at that site, but will not refer to sampletype or origin. For example, the first three samples fromthe fifth sampling site could be designated 5-1, 5-2, and5-3. By using this method, the analytical laboratory willnot know which samples are quality assurance/quality control(QA/QC) samples nor the location from which the samples weretaken. This procedure reduces bias in the analyticalprocess.

The documents that will be used during the private wellwater sampling include the following:

o Well Inventory Form (Figure 4-1)

o Sample tac_s (Figure 4-2)

o Chain-of-custody record forms discussed inSection 3.5 of this report (Figure 3-1)

o Traffic report forms (Figures 4-3 and 4-4)

o Sample labels

o SAS packing list (Figure 4-5)

o Custody seals (Figure 4-6)

o Field notebooks

o Photographs

o Shipping logs

In addition, purity reports for all field reagents andsupplies, including standard pH buffer solution, deionizedand distilled water, standard potassium chloride solution,and preservatives, will be put into the project files.

4.1 WELL INVENTORY FORM

The well inventory form (Figure 4-1) , is designed to recordsampling information at the time of sampling. The form willalso be used to record information with regard to the wellcharacteristics (e.g., known well diameter) and water quality(e.g., existence of a septic field). Information collectedon the well inventory form will be used to assist in thedesign of the sampling plan for the Phase II RI sampling.

4.2 SAMPLE IDENTIFICATION TAGS

The sample tag is shown in Figure 4-2. Sample tags will besecured to the sample containers in the field as specifiedin the User's Guide to the Contract Laboratory Program.

o CLP Case/£AS No(s).—The unique number(s) assignedby SMO to identify the sampling event. (Enteredunder "Remarks" heading.)

o CLP Sample No.—The unique sample identificationnumber (from the traffic report form or packinglist) used to document that sample. (Enteredunder "Remarks" heading.)

o Project Code--The number assigned by EPA to thesampling project.

o Station No.—A two-digit number assigned by thesampling team coordinator.

o Date--A six-digit number indicating the month,day, and year of collection.

o Time--A four-digit number indicating the militarytime of collection.

o Station Location—The sampling station descriptionas specified in the project plan.

o Sampler Collectors—Signatures of samplercollectors on the project team.

o Remarks—Case/SAS and sample numbers are enteredhere, and any pertinent comments indicated.

AR3002UI*

Page 126: Pldnhirig Activities at ^Selected Uncontrolled T Hazardous

Section: 4Revision: 1Date 12-23-88Paae: 9 of 11

o Lab Sample No.—Reserved for laboratory use.

o Analysis Information—Boxes to check forpreservatives and the analysis that the samplewill undergo.

4.3 TRAFFIC REPORT AND LABELS

Traffic report forms and labels (Figures 4-2 through 4-4),used in conjunction with CLP analyses, will be used for eachsample as appropriate. Blanks are identified as normalsamples. Matrix spikes (MSs) and matrix spike duplicates(MSDs) receive the same label number as the sample withwhich they were collected.

4.4 SAS PACKING LIST

A SAS packing list (Figure 4-5) must be completed for SASsamples that qualify as "All SAS." (See the Users Guide tothe Contract Laboratory Program for definitions and anexample of a completed packing list.)

In addition to the packing list, adhesive labels must beattache"1 to each SAS container and marked in indelible inkwith the' SAS number. The labels are to be covered withclear waterproof tape.

4.5 CUSTODY SEALS

When samples are shipped, they must be placed in containerssealed with custody seals (Figure 4-6). At least two sealsmust be placed on each shipping container (cooler or box),one each on the front and back, in such a manner that abroken seal would indicate that the cooler or box had beenopened. Clear tape will be placed over the seals to reducethe chance that the seals may be accidentally broken duringshipment. Upon receipt of containers in the field, custodyseals are to be inspected and the condition recorded.

4.6 SHIPPING LOGS

Shipping logs are to be submitted to EPA's Central RegionalLaboratory (CRL) in Annapolis within 1 week after thecompletion of sampling. An example of the log and theinstructions for completing the log are given in the EPARegion III QA Directives (QAD 001, March 15, 1988).,

4.7 FIELD NOTEBOOKS

Field notebooks will be used to record data collectionactivities performed at the site. Entries will be inwaterproof ink and written in sufficient detail so that ahistory of the sampling event can be reconstructed withminimum reliance on memory.

Field notebooks to be used will be bound field survey books.Notebooks will be assigned to field personnel but will bestored securely in the field office when not in use. Afterproject completion, these documents will be in the custodyof the SM. Each notebook will be identified by the project-specific document number. Pages will be numbered.

The cover of each notebook will indicate:

o Person or organization to whom book is assignedo Book numbero Project nameo Start dateo End date

Notebook entries w'll contain a variety of information. Atthe beginning of each daily entry, the sample collectorswill record the date, start time, and current weather. TheFM will record the names of a31 field personnel present, thelevel of personal protection being used onsite, the names ofvisitors to the site, and the purpose of their visit.Difficulties, accidents, incidents., or deviations from thework plan will be recorded and explained by the FM. Thebottom of each page will be signed by the person makingentries. Each line on a page should be used or, if notused, should be crossed out, signed, and dated.

All measurements made will be recorded. The person makingentries will initial the entries. Corrections will be madeby drawing a single line through the error and initialingand dating the correction. Information may not be erased orrendered unreadable. Wherever a sample is collected or emeasurement is made, a detailed description of the locationof the station will be recorded.

Equipment used to make measurements will be identified,along with the date of last calibration. The equipment usedto collect samples will also be noted, along with the timeof sampling and all field parameters measured.

4.8 PHOTOGRAPHS

Photographs of the sampling and other field work will betaken on a regular basis. A data-back equipped camera willbe used. The picture number and roll number (if more thanone roll of film is used) will be logged in the fieldnotebook to identify which sampling location is depicted inthe photograph.

The first 35mm frame on each roll will identify the roll bycontaining an information sign. The project, film roll, andframe numbers should be written on the sign to identify thesample location.

For example:

North Penn, AmetekRoll Number 1Frame Number 1 of 36

* June 1, 1988j Well No. 201

Subsequent photographs will include an identifying object inthe background. No filter or -pecial lenses, other than aUV filter, will be used. The serial number of the 35mmcamera body and lens will be entered in the logbook.

II. SITE CHARACTERISTICS

FACILITY DESCRIPTION

The North Penn area is located primarily in central Montgomery County.The area includes the Doylestown, Collegeville, Lansdale, and Telfordquadrangles. An 8.5-mile radius is utilized to encompass the studyarea. The center point of the radius is located about 1,000 feet southof the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Lansdale Interchange. The radius includesthe above-mentioned area plus a portion of south central Bucks County.These areas are not served by North Penn Water Authrity (NPWA) but areof concern since they lie within a 3-mile radius of severalcontamination plumes. The total are of concern is 227 square mile.

The study area includes the metropolitan areas of Lansdale, Souderton,Unionville, Harleysville, Mainland, Kulpsville, Colmar, Fortuna, Skip-pack, Creamery, and Center Point. These towns are of primary concernsince NPWA supplies water to them. Rural areas lie between these towns.Some are supplied by NPWA and some rely on private wells. Other metro-politan areas within the 8.5-mile radius include Norristown, Trooper,Collegeville, and Sellersville. These areas are within the area ofconcern but rely on sources other than NPWA for water.

Based on the results of the Site Discovery Report, EPA identified sixsites, each presenting a distinct geographic area of groundwater con-tamination within the North Penn areas. These six sites were facili-ties with the highest levels of groundwater contamination, and wereincluded by EPA on the proposed NPL in January 1987. One of the six"sites is being addressed by EPA under its Enforcement Program. The
