1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The Town of Southold plans to close the former Southold (Cutchogue) Landfill. In order
to implement this action, the Town is required by the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) to conduct a Closure Investigation under the 6 NYCRR
Part 360 Regulations and the Stipulation Agreement between the Town and NYSDEC dated
October 5, 1994. Through previous investigations, a significant portion of the Closure
Investigation requirements have been completed. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation is to
fulfill the remaining requirements of the Part 360 Closure Investigation by further defining
rgroundwater quality and flow direction at the landfill site and determining the presence or absence
of explosive gases, surface leachate seeps and vectors.
I
The purpose of this Closure Investigation Work Plan is to provide a detailed description of
the investigation field activities, including the sampling and analytical quality assurance/quality
control program.

2.0 BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
2.1 Site Location and Background
' The Southold (Cutchogue) Landfill is inactive and comprises approximately 45 acres
(excluding the 17 acre area north of the landfill which was formerly used for mining/borrow
operations). The landfill site is located between Oregon Road and North Road (also known as
Middle Road and County Road 48) to the north and south, respectively, and Cox Lane and Depot
Lane to the east and west, respectively, in the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York (see
Figure 2-1). The landfill is owned and formerly operated by the Town of Southold. A site plan of
the landfill is shown in Figure 2-2.
The Southold Landfill is situated in a rural, agricultural area in Cutchogue, approximately
2.5 miles east of Mattituck and 8 miles west of the Incorporated Village of Greenport. The landfill
is located in an agricultural-industrial zoned area, with the existing landfill zoned LI (Light
Industrial) (see Figure 2-3). Directly adjacent to the northern, eastern and southern boundaries of
the landfill is LI zoned land, and LIO (Light Industrial/Office Park) zoned land is located adjacent
to the western boundary. Further to the north, south, east and west of the landfill is A-C
' (Agricultural Conservation) zoned land.
The Town of Southold initiated operations at the landfill site in 1920 for the disposal of
municipal solid waste, refuse, debris and scavenger (septic system) waste and operated the landfill
continuously until October 1993 when it closed. Figure 2-2 shows the location of present and
former landfill operations. As shown in this figure, the landfill site includes a large excavated area
' in the northern portion of the site which was used to obtain cover material for the past landfilling
operation, and two abandoned scavenger waste lagoons along the western border of the landfill.
The lagoons formerly accepted septic system waste from both commercial and residential sources.

Currently portions of the site are used for a temporary municipal waste transfer station,
construction and demolition debris (C&D) transfer station, recycling drop-off station, yard waste
composting and tire loading. A majority of the site, however is unused.
' Since the landfill initiated operation prior to the promulgation of the Part 360 Regulations,
it was constructed without a liner. Also, portions of the currently required 100 foot buffer zone
between the landfill and its property boundaries have been used for landfilling solid waste in the
past prior to the current requirements. In 1984, the Town of Southold requested a variance for an
' exemption from these requirements as specified in the Part 360 Regulations (Section 360-1.7). The
variance was requested on the basis of compatible surrounding land use, which is predominantly
' agricultural, vacant land, sand mining and only limited residential land, and the significant adverse
economic and environmental impacts which would be associated with excavating landfilled refuse.
This variance, however, was not granted by NYSDEC.
2.2 Site History and Previous Investigations
As previously discussed, the Town of Southold began operation of the landfill in 1920 for
the disposal of municipal solid waste, refuse, debris and scavenger waste. Subsequent to the
' hurricane of 1938, large quantities of construction and demolition debris, land clearing debris, as
well as other materials were landfilled in the southwestern portion of the site. This area was also
used for burying old automobiles.
In 1974, Holzmacher, McLendon and Murrell, P.C. (H2M), under contract to the Suffolk
County Department of Health Services (SCDHS), conducted a subsurface investigation at the
Southold Landfill in order to determine the depth of fill material and municipal waste at the site.
Three core borings were drilled at separate locations within the existing landfill area
(approximately at the center and south-central portions, and west-central border of the current
landfill). Information obtained from the borings indicated that the landfill had been excavated to
' depth of approximately 3 feet above the water table and subsequently landfilled with municipal
waste and other fill material.
e 1314\A0315501(R04) 2-5
In October 1976, a methane gas survey was conducted at the landfill. Well points were
driven into the ground in the northern, southeastern and southwestern portions of the landfill and
measured for methane gas. The results of this survey showed low levels in comparison to the
Lower Explosive Level (LEL) for methane.
' In 1985, Woodward-Clyde Consultants prepared a Phase I Investigation at the landfill for
the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
In the summer of 1986, the scavenger waste lagoons at the landfill were abandoned upon
' commencement of operations at the Southold Scavenger Waste Pretreatment Plant. Sludge removal
from the scavenger waste lagoons was performed during the summer of 1987.
Between 1980 and 1984, five monitoring wells (S-76687, 71045, 69761, 68916 and 68831)
were installed on the landfill site and sampled by SCDHS.
In December 1990, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
conducted a site investigation at the landfill. A total of nine soil samples were collected and
' analyzed for volatile and semivolatile organic compounds, pesticides and metals. The results of
this investigation are presented in the Part 360 and Phase II Hydrogeologic Investigation Report,
Southold Landfill, October 1991.
' In July 1991, Dvirka and Bartilucci Consulting Engineers conducted a Part 360 and Phase
II Hydrogeologic Investigation. The investigation consisted of a soil gas survey, installation of 14
U
monitoring wells at seven well cluster locations, subsurface soil sampling and logging,
groundwater sample collection, downhole geophysical logging and permeability testing.
The samples were analyzed for Target Compound List (TCL) +30 parameters utilizing EPA
SW846 Methods 601/602, 8240, 8270 and 8080 for TCL organics and NYSDEC 1989 Analytical
Services Protocol (ASP) for Target Analyte List (TAL) inorganics. These parameters include
41314\A0315501(R04) 2-6
t
volatile and semivolatile organic compounds, base neutrals, acid extractables, pesticides/PCBs,
metals and cyanide.
' Supplement to the July 1991 Part 360 and Phase II Hydrogeologic Investigation, Dvirka
and Bartilucci Consulting Engineers conducted two groundwater sampling events in July 1992 and
January 1993. During both of these sampling events, samples were collected from the 14
' monitoring wells installed as part of the Part 360 and Phase II Hydrogeologic Investigation and two
monitoring wells (S-68831 and S-68916) installed by the Suffolk County Department of Health
Services.
As a result of the findings of these investigations, it was determined that a weak, limited
plume is emanating from the Southold Landfill. This was supported by contaminants identified in
the groundwater. These contaminants were 1,2-dichloropropene and 1,2-dichloroethane in low
concentrations; iron, magnesium, manganese and sodium in concentrations not substantially above
ambient conditions; aldicarb; the leachate parameters: ammonia, nitrate and phenols; and
dichloropropane.
In addition, based on soil samples obtained during the Part 360 and Phase II Hydrogeologic
Investigation and the USEPA sampling program, only a few organic contaminants in low
concentrations (toluene, 4-chloroanaline, aldrin and 4,4'DDE) and some inorganic contaminants at
slightly elevated levels (aluminum, barium, copper, iron and zinc) were found on-site in the former
scavenger waste lagoons. However, none of the organics and relatively low concentrations of
inorganics were found in the groundwater underlyingand downgradient of the landfill.
As a result of these findings, the Town of Southold petitioned the NYSDEC to delist the
site from the State Registry of inactive hazardous waste sites and the landfill was removed from the
' list of potential (Class 2a) hazardous waste sites by DEC in October 1993.

3.0 LANDFILL CLOSURE INVESTIGATION FIELD PROGRAM
3.1 Introduction
As discussed above in Section 2.2, a Part 360 and Phase II Hydrogeologic Investi ation
was conducted at the Southold Landfill in July 1991. Supplemental groundwater sampling was
also conducted in support of this investigation in July 1992 and January 1993. Copies of these
reports are on file with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the
Town of Southold. As a result, several required and optional elements of the Part 360 Closure
Investigation criteria [360-2.15(a)(1)] have been completed and recognized by NYSDEC. These
elements are contained in the Part 360 and Phase II Hydrogeologic Investigation Report.
1 Specifically these elements are:
• Literature Search- 360-2.11(a)(2)
• Surficial Geologic Mapping- 360-2.11(a)(3)
• Water Well Survey - 360-2.11(a)(5)
' • Geophysical Survey - 360-2.11(a)(6)
• Monitoring Wells - 360-2.11(a)(8)(9)(a) through 360-2.11(a)(8)(vi)(c)
• Geologic Sampling - 360-2.11(a)(9)(i) and(ii)
• Logs - 360-2.11(a)(10)(i) through(iv)
• In Situ Hydraulic Conductivity Testing - 360-2.11(a)(11)
Consequently, these elements are not included as part of this Closure Investigation Work
' Plan. However, the results of the previously conducted elements will be presented in the Closure
Investigation Report. Section 5.0 of this Work Plan discusses the Closure Investigation Report
requirements and format.

3.2 Field Program
The followingis a discussion of theplanned field program for the Southold Landfill
P �'
' Closure Investigation.
3.2.1 Groundwater Sampling and Analysis
Groundwater samples will be collected from the 18 existing wells that are part of the
landfill monitoring system. The data obtained from the analysis of these samples will be used to
' determine the groundwater quality at the site. The results of this round of Baseline Parameter
sampling will be provided in the Closure Investigation Report and will be the first of the three
conditions contained in the Town of Southold's Stipulation of Settlement whereby the Town is
requesting a reduction in the post-closure groundwater monitoring frequency. Completion of the
three conditions in the settlement agreement enables the Town to apply for the variance request
to reduce the monitoring requirements at the landfill. The locations of the wells to be sampled
are shown in Figure 3-1. Table 3-1 lists the 18 wells to be sampled.
Construction of the wells installed as part of the Part 360 and Phase II Hydrogeologic
Investigation consisted of a 2-inch diameter stainless steel screen and threaded, flush joint PVC
casing. Ten feet of stainless steel wire wrapped screen with 0.02 inch openings were installed in
each deep borehole and 20-foot screens were installed in each shallow borehole (5 feet above the
water table and 15 feet below) except for MW-6S, which, in order to mitigate methane from
entering the screen zone, was modified to a length of 15 feet. Most of the screen was installed in
the saturated zone, in order to minimize the amount of screen exposed to the vadose zone.
111
A 2-inch diameter PVC pipe extends from the of the screen to 2-1/2 feet above
C ri er s p p top
ground surface and is contained in a steel protective casing with a locking cover, except for MW-
1S and MW-1D, which were installed with flush mount protective casings.

The annulus of the borehole in the area of the screen was sand-packed to a height of 2 feet
P g
above the screened interval with clean silica sand in conformance with Part 360 requirements. A
finer grained sand pack material (100% passing the No. 30 sieve and less than 2% passing the
No. 200 sieve) 6 inches in thickness was placed on top of the sand pack between the sand and the
bentonite seal. A 3-foot seal of thick PUREGOLD bentonite slurry was placed immediately
above the filter material using a tremie pipe. The remaining annulus was grouted to the surface
with a PUREGOLD bentonite slurry. PUREGOLD bentonite is tested and warranted to be free
of organic and inorganic contaminants.
' The samples collected from the wells will be field tested for temperature, conductivity,
pH, Eh, dissolved oxygen and turbidity.
One round of groundwater sampling is scheduled as part of the Closure Investigation.
Sample analysis will consist of the Baseline Parameters as defined in the Part 360 Regulations.
Table 3-2 contains the specific sample analyses. Groundwater samples will be collected by first
measuring the static water level and then determining the volume of water contained in the well.
The well will be purged of a minimum of three well volumes of water. The purge water will be
monitored for pH, conductivity, temperature, Eh, dissolved oxygen and turbidity, and contained
in DOT-approved, 55-gallon, ring-top drums. The wells will be purged by pumping with a 2-inch
diameter submersible pump. The sample will be collected using a disposable polyethylene bailer.
1 The purge water will be staged on pallets next to the respective wells until receipt of the
sampling results, at which time the handling of the purge water will be addressed. If the
groundwater is found not to be significantly contaminated, the purge water will be discharged in
close proximity to the well from which it was obtained.
I
The pump will be cleaned prior to use in each well. The pump will be cleaned by first
washing the exterior of the pump with Alconox and water solution, then pumping approximately
5 gallons of the Alconox and water solution through the pump. The pump will then be placed in a
bucket of clean tap water and approximately 5 gallons of water will be pumped out. The pump
cable will then be wiped down with dionized water and paper a towel. The decontamination

3.2.2 Water Well Survey, Sampling and Analysis
A water well survey was previously conducted as part of the Part 360 and Phase II
Hydrogeologic Investigation, within 1 mile downgradient and 1/4 mile upgradient of the site.
This water well survey has been updated to include additional locations of private water supply
wells and a recently installed Suffolk County Department Health Service (SCDHS) monitoring
well. (Refer to Figure 3-2 for locations of these wells).
1
As part of the groundwater sampling, a total of 15 private water supply wells will be
sampled of which 11 private wells are downgradient of the landfill and 4 private wells are
immediately upgradient of the landfill. In addition, the recently installed on-site SCDHS
monitoring well, SL-1, will also be sampled. (Refer to Figure 3-2 for sampling locations). The
water supply wells and SCDHS well samples will be analyzed for the Baseline Parameters as
defined in Part 360 Regulations. Refer to Table 3-2 for the specific analysis. Water supply well
samples will be collected in accordance with the work plan (Section 4.4.4.2). The SCDHS
monitoring well LS-1 will be sampled in the same manner as the on-site monitoring wells (refer
1 to Section 3.2.1).
The data obtained from the analysis of these samples will be used to determine
groundwater quality off-site.
3.2.3 Water Level Measurements
A round of synoptic groundwater elevations will be collected during the sampling
program from the on-site monitoring wells. Table 3-1 summarizes the monitoring wells on-site.

Based on the results of these water level measurements, a groundwater flow map for both
shallow and deep wells will be included in the Closure Investigation Report.
Water level measurements will be collected within an 8-hour period. Water level
measurements will be collected with a Slope Indicator or Solnist electronic water level meter.
The depth to water will be measured from a surveyed measuring point on the PVC well casing.
3.2.4 Explosive Gas Survey
Three rounds of explosive gas monitoring will be conducted in accordance to 6 NYCRR
Part 360-2.15(a)(2). The initial explosive gas survey will be conducted to the best extent
possible, during low wind and low atmospheric pressure days, and ideally when the ground
surface has been saturated or frozen for several days.
I
The gas survey will include the construction of 53 temporary monitoring probes located
around a portion of the landfill property outside of the gas venting trench, where it exists. Each
round will include monitoring of 77 total points which include the 53 temporary probes; four
ambient air locations inside the three on-site structures (one measurement inside the weighing
station, one measurement inside the storage garage and two measurements inside the collection
' center); and 20 existing permanent monitoring probes for methane gas using an organic vapor
analyzer (OVA with activated carbon filter) and Exotox meter (or equivalent). The temporary
probes will be installed at 100-foot intervals. The permanent monitoring probes are located at
approximately 300-foot intervals. Additional temporary monitoring probes will be constructed in
a radially or lateral step out direction if elevated levels of methane gas are detected at the
monitoring points. The additional monitoring probes will be constructed in steps of
'
approximately 25-30 feet away from the landfill until the gases are not detected. This will
determine the extent of gas migration. Figure 3-3 illustrates the planned explosive gas
monitoring points.

The temporary probes for the explosive gas survey will be constructed by driving a 1/2-
'1 inch O.D. stainless steel hollow ramrod with a hardened steel tip into the soil to a depth of 2 to 3
feet. The ramrod will be pulled from the hole and the steel tip removed. The ramrod will then be
' reinserted into the hole and a 1/4-inch O.D., 3 to 4 feet long polyethylene tube will be inserted to
the bottom of the hole such that 1 foot of tubing remains above ground. At this time, air will be
1 blown through the tube to assure the tip is not plugged with soil. The steel ramrod will be
removed, leaving in place the polyethylene tube. The ramrod hole (annular space) will then be
1 backfilled with native soil. A stake will be driven into the soil next to the tube and the tubing will
be secured to the stake with tape. The stake will be labeled with the temporary probe number and
' flagged with hi-visibility flagging. The end of the tube will be fitted with a plastic cap or rubber
stopper to prevent foreign matter from entering.
During a previous investigation conducted by the Town in May 1985, a gas venting
trench was constructed around a portion of the landfill waste perimeter in order to mitigate the
migration of landfill gas off the site. According to Town personnel, the trench was constructed
approximately 6-8 feet wide and up to 12 feet deep and backfilled with C&D debris and soil.
Figure 3-3 illustrates the approximate location of the trench.
The temporary probes will be measured for the presence of landfill gas by first removing
the protective cap and placing the probe tip of the OVA into the tube. Two readings will be
recorded from the OVA, the peak methane reading and a steady methane reading. If the peak
reading is greater than 1,000 ppm, then the OVA will be removed and the Exotox meter (or
' equivalent) will be attached to the tubing. The Exotox meter (or equivalent) will measure the
percent of the lower explosive limit (% LEL). Both the peak and steady readings will be
recorded.
The 20 permanent probes consist of capped 2-inch O.D., Schedule 40 PVC pipe and 4-
foot long screen. The probes are approximately 25 feet deep and have a 1/4-inch hole drilled at the
' upper portion for monitoring access. These probes will be monitored by inserting the OVA probe
tip (with carbon filter) into the 1/4-inch access hole. Two readings will be recorded from the OVA,
1
•1314\S0315501(R04) 3-11
the peak methane reading and the steady methane reading. If the peak reading is greater than
' 1,000 ppm, then the OVA probe will be removed and the Exotox meter(or equivalent) probe will
be inserted into the access hole. The Exotox meter (or equivalent) will measure the percent of the
' lower explosive gas limit (% LEL). Both the peak and the steady readings will be recorded.
The four ambient measurements inside the three on-site structures will be obtained using
both the OVA (with the carbon filter) and the Exotox (or equivalent). The steady OVA reading
and peak OVA reading (if measurable) will be recorded. In addition, the percent oxygen level
will be recorded as well. If OVA readings are greater than 1,000 ppm, then the Exotox meter (or
' equivalent) will be used to measure the percent of the lower explosive limit(% LEL).
All readings will be recorded in a field notebook and presented on a figure in the Closure
Investigation Report.
3.2.5 Surface Leachate Survey
A surface leachate survey will be conducted to identify the presence or absence of
leachate seeps, standing pools of leachate or leachate stained soil. The surface leachate survey
will concentrate around the landfill waste perimeter and low areas around the landfill where
leachate may breach the ground surface and pool, as well as along the landfill side slopes.
' Provision is made to collect up to five samples each of surface leachate and leachate stained soil,
if found.
samples Liquid will be collected with a disposable polyethylene scoop. Stained soil will

also be sampled with a disposable polyethylene scoop and/or sterile wooden tongue depressor.
Samples will be analyzed for Baseline Parameters. All locations of leachate seeps, stained
soil or leachate pools, if present, with an explanation as to why the leachate seeps occur at that
location, will be located on a map and presented in the Closure Investigation Report.
I
*1314\S0315501(R04) 3-12
3.2.6 Vector Survey
A site walk over of the landfill will be undertaken to identify the presence or absence of
vermin or typical disease vectors at these areas. This evaluation will identify, through the use of
signs such as footprints, scat, burrows or by visual observation, the presence of rodents, birds or
' insect populations. Areas of standing water (if present) will be visually assessed for the presence
of mosquito larvae. The survey will commence 2 hours prior to sunrise and terminate 2 hours
after sunset.
' Observations will be recorded in a field notebook. Any vectors or signs of vectors will be
identified to the greatest extent possible and located on a map. The map will be presented in the
Closure Investigation Report.
' 3.2.7 Air Monitoring
' Ambient air monitoring will be performed throughout the field investigation activities.
Either a flame ionization detector (Century Foxboro OVA-128) or a photoionization detector
(Photovac Microtip) will be used to detect organic vapors.
Detailed sampling and sample handling procedures are contained in the Site Analytical
Plan, Section 4.0 of this Work Plan.

4.0 SITE ANALYTICAL PLAN
4.1 Objective and Scope
The purpose of this Site Analytical Plan (SAP) is to develop and describe the detailed
' sample collection and analytical procedures that will ensure high quality and valid data. A field
sampling program will be conducted for the collection of groundwater and leachate (surface pools
and/or stained soils).
4.2 Data Quality Objectives
Data quality objectives are those objectives established in order to protect human health and
the environment. An objective is established as a minimum detection limit for each analyte of
concern. The objective of this program is to monitor the groundwater at and in the immediate
vicinity of the Southold Landfill for the purpose of characterizing the current water quality. This
Site Analytical Plan (SAP) is specifically designed to provide reliable, defensible data for the
' purpose of characterizing the current groundwater quality conditions.
4.2.1 Regulatory Programs and Applicable Standards
' Data obtained during the Closure Investigation will be subject to all regulatory programs
and standards applicable to landfill closure, including groundwater and leachate monitoring.
' Regulatory programs involved in the project include 6 NYCRR Part 360 Solid Waste Management
Facilities and New York State Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Approval Program
(ELAP). The standards which will be applied are the NYSDEC Groundwater/Surface Water
Standards listed in the Water Quality Regulations,Title 6,Chapter X, Part 700-705.
4.2.2 Required Detection Levels
1
Data gathered for the purpose of environmental monitoring will be analyzed using methods
' capable of detecting parameters at or below the set data quality objectives. The required detection
limits or data quality objectives for each analyte listed in the Baseline Parameter list will be
established according to Part 360-2.11(c)5iii(f), which specifies that the detection limit must be
*1314\S0315503(R04) 4-1
below the NYSDEC groundwater standard or, if one is not available, the established site
' groundwater quality level or the Practical Quantification Limit (PQL) listed in Part 360. The
parameters to be analyzed are listed in this section and are stipulated in Part 360-2.11(d)(6)
t effective October 9, 1993. The laboratory selected to perform the analysis will provide a copy of
their method/instrument detection limits for review prior to start-up of the field program.
4.2.3 Data Precision
Precision is a measure of the ability to reproduce analytical results. Precision is generally
determined by analysis of duplicate samples. Precision protocols for each parameter to be analyzed
in this SAP are listed in Table 4-1.
4.2.4 Data Accuracy
Accuracy is a measure of how close a measured value is to a known true value. Accuracy is
assessed by means of reference samples and percent recovery of spiked samples. Accuracy
protocols for each parameter to be analyzed in this SAP are listed in Table 4-1.
4.2.5 Data Representativeness
' The sampling program procedures described in Sections 4.4 of this SAP are designed to
provide data representative of site conditions.
4.2.6 Data Comparability
P tY
Data will be presented in the units designated by the methods specified by the 40 CFR 136
and USEPA SW-846, and other analytical methodologies, such as Standard Methods, where
' appropriate. In addition, sample location, collection procedures and analytical methods from earlier
studies will be evaluated for comparability with current procedures and methods.

4.2.7 Data Completeness
The acceptability of 100% of the data is designed as a goal for this project. The acceptability
of less than 100% complete data, meeting all laboratory QA/QC protocols and standards, will be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
4.3 Analytical Quality Assurance(AQA)And Analytical Quality Control(AQC)
Analytical quality assurance will be controlled by the use of standard protocols and
procedures to ensure that reported data results are reliable in assessing possible significant changes
in water quality.
1 4.3.1 AQA/AQC Goals and Protocols
The AQA/AQC goals and protocols for each type of monitoring for this program are as
follows:
I
Groundwater
I
The goal of groundwater monitoring is to characterize the current groundwater quality. The
protocol that will be followed for analyses and reporting is the NYSDEC December 1991
Analytical Services Protocol (ASP). Required detection levels are those discussed in Section 4.2.2.
The results will be compared to Class GA Groundwater Standards.
iLeachate Seem and/or Stained Soil
The goal of sampling leachate seeps and/or stained soil is to characterize the nature of the
surface soil and perimeter areas of the landfill and to determine the need for landfill leachate control
measures. The protocol for reporting will be the NYSDEC December 1991 Analytical Services
Protocol. Required detection levels are those discussed in Section 4.2.2.

4.3.2 Quality Objectives
The AQA/AQC quality objectives are the same as the data quality objectives listed in
Section 4.2.
4.3.3 Oualifications,Responsibilities and Authorities of Personnel
All personnel working on all aspects of this SAP will be qualified and experienced in the
tasks they are to perform. Personnel involved in the SAP generally consist of three groups,
including field personnel, laboratory personnel and data validators. Qualifications, responsibilities
and authorities of each group are discussed below.
Field Personnel
Field personnel will consist of a minimum of two samplers. Field personnel will be
responsible for collecting and shipping all samples in accordance with this SAP. One of these
�i individuals will be designated field supervisor, and will be responsible for ensuring that standard
operating procedures (see Section 4.4) and field documentation are completed according to the
SAP. The field supervisor will have the authority to alter standard operating procedures should site
conditions: 1) make sample collection hazardous to the samplers; or 2) be likely to preclude the
data quality objectives established in this SAP. The field supervisor will also be responsible for
identifying and reporting to the Town and the NYSDEC any deviations from SAP procedures or
corrective actions necessary during sampling.
Laboratory Personnel
Laboratory personnel will include all personnel responsible for handling, analyses and
reporting of samples and results from the time samples are received by the laboratory as noted on
111
the chain-of-custody forms until the laboratory reports are issued. The qualifications,
responsibilities and authorities of laboratory personnel are dictated by standard operating
procedures required of all laboratories participating in the New York State ELAP Program. For the
purpose of this SAP, the standard operating procedures provided by the laboratory for compliance
1
♦1314\S0315503(R04) 4-7
I
111 with the ELAP Program will be sufficient to comply with Part 360-2.11(d)(2)(i) requirements for
identification of qualifications, responsibilities and authorities of laboratory personnel.
The standard operating procedures of the laboratory selected by the Town for landfill
monitoring analyses will be made available, if necessary. Should the situation arise in which the
laboratory can no longer perform the required sampling duties, the SAP will be amended, with the
approval of NYSDEC, to reflect changes and procedures necessary to meet the data quality
111 objectives established in Section 4.2.
Data Validator
The data validator will be the individual(s) responsible for data validation and data usability
review as required in Part 360-2.11(d)(5)(i) effective October 9, 1993 and described in Section 4.6
of this SAP. The data validator will have successfully completed both the organic compound and
inorganic analyte validation courses given by the USEPA or meet the requirements of a data
validator stipulated by the NYSDEC (see Section 4.9). The validator's responsibilities include
review of the laboratory's SOP, review and evaluation of the analytical data package submitted by
the laboratory and compilation of the findings of the validation process into a data usability report.
The validator will have the authority to accept or reject data provided by the laboratory. Should data
be rejected, the validator will advise the Town, NYSDEC and the laboratory of remedial
alternatives necessary to make the data acceptable.
4.3.4 AOC Procedures
The analytical quality control procedures to be followed by the laboratory are those

The SOPs to be followed during sample collection are documented in Section 4.4, Field
Sampling Procedures,of this SAP.
Sample Analysis
A copy of laboratory SOPs provided by the laboratory selected by the Town will be
available upon request. The procedures are those required of the laboratory for NYSDOH ELAP
certification. Each NYSDOH ELAP certified laboratory must develop a set of standard operating
procedures. These SOPs are in compliance with NYSDEC requirements and are supplied to the
NYSDOH when applying for certification.
111
If the selected laboratory should lose its ELAP certification, then the SAP will be amended
with the approval of NYSDEC.
4.3.6 OC Samples and Blanks
QC samples and blanks are artificial samples designed to monitor the introduction of
artifacts into the measurement process. QC samples and blanks are samples collected and prepared
in addition to field samples. QC samples include matrix spikes and matrix spike duplicates. Blanks
consist of several types that monitor a variety of processes. As per NYSDEC ASP requirements,
certain QC samples and blanks must accompany samples collected during each sampling event. QC
samples and blanks to be used in the fulfillment of this SAP are described in the following
1 paragraphs. The number and frequency of QC samples and blanks is described in Section 4.8,
Monitoring Parameters Summary.

4.3.6.1 -Matrix Spikes/Matrix Spike (MS/MSD)Duplicates
P P P
A matrix spike is an aliquot of a sample fortified (spiked) with known quantities of specific
compounds and subjected to the entire analytical procedure to indicate the appropriateness of the
method for the matrix by measuring recovery of the spike. A matrix spike duplicate is a second
aliquot of the same matrix as the matrix spike (above) that is spiked to determine the precision of
the method. Matrix spikes and matrix spike duplicates are used by the laboratory as part of its
internal Quality Assurance/Quality Control Program (QA/QC). This QA/QC check is consistent
with the NYSDEC Quality Analytical Services Protocol. One liquid and one solid matrix spike
sample will be collected and submitted for laboratory analysis for every 20 samples of a similar
matrix. A matrix spike duplicate will also be collected and submitted for each matrix (liquid and
solid). The MS and MSD are collected from a regularly scheduled field sampling point in addition
to the field sample for that point.
4.3.6.2-Trip Blanks (Travel Blanks)
A trip blank is shipped to and from the field with the sample containers. It is not opened in
the field and, therefore, provides a test for contamination from sample preservation, site conditions
1 and transport, as well as sample storage, preparation and analysis. It is most commonly used for
volatile organics. A typical trip blank consists of a pair of 40 ml sample vials filled with laboratory
demonstrated analyte free water.
4.3.6.3 -Field Blanks (Field Rinsate Blanks)
The primary purpose of this type of blank is to provide an additional check on possible
sources of contamination beyond that which is intended for trip blanks. A field blank is used to
indicate potential contamination from ambient air and from sampling instruments.
A field blank is prepared using two identical sets of laboratory cleaned sample containers.
One set of containers is filled at the laboratory with laboratory demonstrated analyte free water.
Field blanks are handled,transported and analyzed in the same manner as the samples acquired that
day. At the field location, preferably in the most contaminated area,this analyte free water is passed
through clean sampling equipment and placed in the empty sample container for analysis. (Note: It
1 41314\S0315503(R04) 4-10
I
may be necessary for the laboratory to provide extra full volatile organics vials to ensure sufficient
volume of blank water to eliminate headspace.) Field blanks will be collected daily or for each
"batch" of 20 or fewer samples that are collected in the same manner. Field blanks must return to
the laboratory with the same set of sample bottles they accompanied to the field. Field blanks must
be packaged with their associated matrix. They are analyzed for the same compounds as the
environmental samples collected in each"batch."
4.3.6.4-Method Blanks
Method blanks are analyzed daily by the laboratory to check for contamination which may
be introduced to the sample as a result of the analytical procedure itself. In instances where a
particular compound is found in the method blank and in the environmental sample, the
concentration in the environmental sample must be at least 10 times that of the method blank in
order for the result to be valid.
4.4 Field Sampling Procedures
All samples required by the Closure Investigation Work Plan will be collected in such a
manner as to maximize the reproducibility of samples and allow for reliable comparisons within
sample matrices. Sampling procedures to be used for each sample media type are described below.
When collecting samples, including more than one parameter for analysis, the samples will be
collected in order of volatilization sensitivity using these procedures. The procedures are to be
followed for all sampling at the Southold Landfill to minimize sample quality variation due to
sampling technique.
I
Sample integrity will also be evaluated by the collection of quality control samples. Quality
control samples will include field blanks, trip blanks, field duplicates, reference materials and
material blanks, where applicable. Section 4.3.6 describes QC samples and blanks. Tables
presented in Section 4.8, Monitoring Parameters Summary, list types and frequency of quality
control samples in the"Sample Type"column.

I
I 4.4.1 Sampling Equipment
P g
IAll sampling equipment to be used for Closure Investigation sampling will be constructed
I of inert materials and designed to obtain samples with minimal agitation of the sample media.
Sampling equipment and procedures will minimize sample contact with the atmosphere. Sampling
equipment will consist of disposable equipment used only for one sampling event and only at one
I sampling point. Equipment that isnot disposable and must contact materials to be sampled, such as
I pH meters,conductivity meters and water level indicators, will be decontaminated prior to each use.
Decontamination procedures are described in Section 4.4.3.1. A list of equipment is presented in
Table 4-2.
I4.4.2 Sample Preservation and Shipping
Prior to packaging samples for shipment, sample containers will be checked for proper
Iidentification and compared to the field log book for accuracy. Samples in glass bottles will be
wrapped with a cushioning material and placed in a cooler (or laboratory shuttle) with a sufficient
Iamount of bagged ice or"blue ice" packs to keep the samples at 4°C until arrival at the laboratory.
Preservatives other than ice will be as described in Section 4.8,Monitoring Parameters Summary.
Il
All necessary documentation required to accompany the sample during shipment will be
1 placed in a sealed plastic bag and taped to the underside of the cooler lid. The cooler will then be
sealed with tape, and custody seals placed so that tampering with the cooler prior to arrival at the
Ilaboratory can be detected. Samples will be shipped to the laboratory as soon as practical after
sample collection, and prior to the expiration of the shortest holding time of samples contained in
Ithe coolers, but not to exceed 48 hours after sample collection. Tables in Section 4.8, Monitoring
Parameters Summary,list holding times for all parameters to be sampled.

conditions at the site change, as identified by sampling results, appropriate evaluation and
P
procedure modifications will be made.
All equipment that is not disposable or dedicated will be decontaminated between uses.
Decontamination will minimize the potential for foreign materials to contact sample media and
minimize potential health hazards from handling equipment that has contacted contaminants.
4.4.3.1 -Decontamination Procedures
Whenever feasible, field sampling equipment will be dedicated to a particular sampling
point. In instances where this is not possible, a field cleaning (decontamination) procedure will be
used in order to reduce the chances of cross-contamination between sample locations.
Decontamination of field sampling equipment will be conducted in the area of least contamination
at the landfill.
Non-disposable equipment will be decontaminated at appropriate intervals (e.g., prior to
initial use, prior to moving to a new sampling location and prior to leaving the site). Different
decontamination procedures are used for various types of equipment that are used during the field
activities. When using non-dedicated equipment, it is advisable to start sampling in the area of the
site with the lowest contaminant probability and proceed through to the areas of highest suspected
contamination.
jTeflon, PVC, HDPE and stainless steel sampling equipment decontamination procedures
will be the following:
I
• Wash thoroughly with nonresidual detergent (Alconox) and potable water using a brush
to remove particulate matter or surface film.
• Rinse thoroughly with potable water.
r
• Rinse thoroughly with distilled water.
• Rinse in a well ventilated area with methanol(pesticide grade) and air dry.
• Rinse thoroughly with distilled water and air dry.
•1314\S0315503(R04) 4-14
1
I
• Wrap completely in clean aluminum foil with dull side against the equipment. For small
sampling items, such as scoops, decontamination will take place over a drum
specifically used for this purpose.
111 The first step, a soap and water wash, is to remove all visible particulate matter and residual
oils and grease. This is followed by a potable water rinse and a distilled/deionized water rinse to
remove the detergent. Next, a high purity solvent rinse is designated for trace organics removal.
Methanol has been chosen because it is not an analyte of concern in the Baseline Parameter list. The
solvent must be allowed to evaporate and then a final distilled/deionized water rinse is performed.
This rinse removes any residual traces of the solvent. The aluminum wrap protects the equipment
and keeps it clean until it is used at another sampling location.
The submersible pump will be decontaminated by the following procedures:
1. Place pump in Alconox and water solution and wash the outside of the pump with a
scrub brush.
1 2. Pump approximately five gallons of Alconox and water solution through the pump.
' 3. Place pump in bucket of clean water and pump out five gallons of water.
4. Wipe down the cable with deionized water and a paper towel.
5. Decontamination water will be contained in DOT-approved 55-gallon drums.
All water generated during the decontamination process will be contained in 55-gallon DOT
drums and stored in a designated area.
4.4.3.2 -Control and Disposal of Contaminated Material
During sampling of the monitoring wells, possible contaminated water may be generated
from decontamination water and purge water. Water associated with the wells and decontamination
water will be temporarily contained in drums and stored in a designated area until the analytical
results for the groundwater sample is obtained. Plastic bags will be utilized for disposal of personal
protective clothing and disposable sampling equipment(i.e.,bailers and tongue depressors).

4.4.4 Groundwater Sampling
1 Two type of wells will be sampled during this investigation; monitoring wells and private
supply wells.
111
4.4.4.1 -Monitoring Wells
The following procedure is to be followed for all groundwater monitoring well sampling:
1. Unlock well cap and remove PVC cap.
111 2. Screen well head space for vapors using portable gas meters such as EXOTOX, OVA-
FID and/or Microtip PID. The concentration of vapors will be recorded in the log book
and sample information form as a percent of LEL and organic vapors concentrations
will be recorded in ppm.
3. Measure the depth of water using a decontaminated water level indicator and calculate
the volume of standing water in the well including the sandpack volume.
1 4. With a decontaminated Grundfos pump and dedicated 1/2- inch polyethylene tubing,
remove three to five times the volume of standing water from the well until field
parameters (pH, Eh, conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen and turbidity)
stabilize, or until the well is dry, whichever occurs first. During purging of a water table
well, the pump is raised and lowered through the standing water column to assure
removal of all the water from the well and sand pack. For purging of the deep wells, set
pump 2 feet below water table and remove a minimum of 3-5 well volumes and upon
stabilization of the field parameters slowly raise the pump up through the top two feet to
remove the stagnate water above the pump. Check purge water for the presence of
floating or sinking non-aqueous materials and collect a sample,if present.
5. Remove the laboratory precleaned sample containers from the sample cooler, label with
an indelible marker,fill out Sample Information Record and Chain of Custody Form.
6. Obtain a volatile organic sample by using a disposable VOA tipped bailer. Gently fill
the sample container taking care not to spill water on the outside of the container or
overfill the container. Replace cover on the sample container. Samples for volatile
organic analyses should have no air space in the sample vial prior to sealing. This is
accomplished by filling the vial such that there is a meniscus on top. Carefully, slide the
septum, Teflon side down, onto the top of the vial and cap the vial. Check for bubbles
by turning the vial upside down and tapping lightly. If bubbles appear, reopen the vial,
remove the septum and add additional sample (or resample). Replace the septum, recap
and check for bubbles. Continue until vial is bubble-free.
*1314\S0315503(R04) 4-16
I
7. Obtain a sample and analyze for field parameters (pH, Eh, conductivity, temperature,
dissolved oxygen and turbidity).
8. If it is determined in consultation with the NYSDEC that filtering of the sample is
necessary for the metals fraction, first collect an unfiltered sample in a sample bottle,
replace the cover on the sample bottle and label the sample. Next, pour an appropriate
amount of the remaining sample from the bailer into a second sample bottle through a
0.45 micron filter to remove particulates from suspension. Replace the cover on the
sample bottle and label the sample. The turbidity of both the filtered and unfiltered
sample will be recorded at the time of collection. If filtering is not to be done, collect the
remaining portions of the sample, (i.e. leachate parameters) allow the well to set
undisturbed and return periodically to measure the turbidity. Once the turbidity has
fallen below 50 NTUs, but not longer than 24 hours from the time of initial purging,
collect the metals sample in the preserved bottle.
9. Return sample containers to sample cooler.
10. Decontaminate any equipment that is to be re-used(i.e. Grundfos pump).
I
4.4.4.2 -Private Supply Wells
111
1. Remove the sample containers from sample cooler, label containers with a waterproof
marker, make note of any water purification or conditioning systems, holding tanks,
etc., on the Sample Information Record form (see Section 4.48 and complete the Chain
of Custody form(see Section 4.4.8).
2. If there is a treatment system, identify a location to sample (if possible) that is ahead of
' any in-line water purification/conditioning device. If samples are to be collected from a
faucet,disassemble any terminal aerator or purification system that may be on the faucet
(if possible). Note these conditions on the Sample Information Record form.
1 3. Allow the water to run for approximately 5 minutes to adequately flush the line before
sampling.
4. Collect the water directly in the sample containers taking care not to spill sample on the
outside of the container. For volatile organic samples, make sure that air bubbles are
' not in the sample vial after it has been capped. This is accomplished by filling the vial
such there is a meniscus on top. Carefully slide the septum, Teflon side down, onto the
top of the val. Cap the vial. Check for bubbles by turning the vial upside down and
' tapping it lightly. If bubbles appear, reopen the vial, remove septum and repeat
sampling. Replace septum, recap and check for bubbles. Continue until the vial is
bubble-free.

4.4.7 Air Monitoring
1. For the organic vapor analyzer (OVA or Microtip) and multi-gas meter, place the
instrument directly over the sampling point and allow the instrument readings to
stabilize(if possible). For the dust indicator, place the instrument about 20 feet from the
sampling activity and allow the readings to stabilize(again, if possible).
2. If readings on the OVA and gas meter are above background, move the meter into the
vicinity of the breathing zone of workers at the sample site, and allow readings to
stabilize (if possible).
3. Record instrument readings on the Air Monitoring Form(see Sections 4.4.10.6)
4. If readings of organic vapors, gases and dust are above the action level of 5 ppm for
VOCs and gases and 0.15 mg/m3 for dust. All sampling will stop and the sampling point
will be allowed to ventilate. If after a minimum of 10 minutes the monitoring readings
are still above the action levels, then the need for additional respiratory protection will
be evaluated by the Project Manager, Health and Safety Officer and Field Operations
Manager.
4.4.8 Field Management Procedures

and is available upon request.
I
4.4.10 Field Sampling Corrective Action
I
Corrective action will consist of documentation, evaluation and corrective measures
' addressing any instance in which the standard procedures described in this section are altered.
Should a procedure be altered, the actual procedure used will be documented and reported to
' NYSDEC. The documentation will describe the conditions causing the procedure change and
identify the persons responsible. A description of the corrective action and rationale used to
' establish the corrective action, as well as persons involved, will also be documented. Such
documentation will accompany the closure investigation report. Should changes be required in the
SAP, an amendment to the SAP will be submitted to the NYSDEC for approval.
4.5 Laboratory Procedures
' The analytical laboratory will be a NYSDOH ELAP certified laboratory meeting
requirements for documentation, data reduction and reporting. All data will be cataloged according
' to sampling locations. NYSDEC "Sample Identification and Analytical Requirements Summary"
and "Sample Preparation and Analysis Summary" forms will be completed by the laboratory and
' included with the data package. The sample tracking form will reflect the year of the NYSDEC
ASP used. A copy of the Laboratory Standard Operating Procedures will be available upon request.
Laboratory Standard Operating Procedures may be updated or replaced based upon changes in ASP
' e 1314\S0315503(R04) 4-25
1 or laboratories retained for sample analyses. NYSDEC will be notified in writing of such changes
and the SAP amended as necessary.
' The laboratory will be required to report the analytical results in NYSDEC Category B
deliverables format.
4.5.1 Laboratory Corrective Action
Laboratory corrective action procedures for analyses of samples from the Southold Landfill
will be the same as those required by the NYSDOH ELAP. When a corrective action is taken at the
laboratory, both the Town and the Project Manager will be notified with the action documented.
4.6 Data Quality Assessment
At the conclusion of the analyses for each sampling event, a data quality assessment will be
performed. Results of the data quality assessment will include data validation and a data usability
' analysis, and will be reported in the quarterly sampling report. The Quality Assurance Officer will
be responsible for reviewing the data validation report and preparing a data usability report. The
' Quality Assurance Officer will have knowledge of laboratory analyses, as well as validation
procedures. A copy of the resume for the Quality Assurance Officer is contained in Section 4.12.
4.6.1 Data Validation
I
Data validation will be performed in order to define and document analytical data quality in
accordance with NYSDEC requirements that project data must be of known and acceptable quality.
The analytical and validation processes will be conducted in conformance with the NYSDEC ASP
dated December 1991.
' Baseline sampling data will be validated by a person, other than the laboratory, that is
acceptable to NYSDEC.
Because the NYSDEC Analytical Services Protocol is based on the USEPA CLP, the
USEPA Functional Guidelines for Evaluating Organics and Inorganics Analyses for the Contract
♦1314\S0315503(R04) 4-26
LaboratoryProgram,(CLP) will assist in formulating standard operating procedures (SOPS) for the
data validation process. The data validation process will ensure that all analytical requirements
specific to this SAP are followed. Procedures will address validation of routine analytical services
(RAS)results based on the Baseline Parameter list for standard sample matrices.
' The data validation process will provide an assessment of the laboratory's performance
based upon contractual requirements and applicable analytical criteria. The report generated as a
result of the data validation process will provide a base upon which the usefulness of the data can
be evaluated by the end user of the analytical results. The overall level of effort and specific data
validation procedure to be used will be equivalent to "20% validation" of all analytical data in any
given data package. Twenty percent validation is the minimum required by 10/93 6NYCRR Part
1 360.
During the review process, it will be determined whether the laboratory submittals for
sample results are supported by sufficient backup data and QA/QC results to enable the reviewer to
conclusively determine the quality of data. Each data package will be checked for completeness and
' technical adequacy of the data.
"Qualified" analytical results for any one field sample are established and presented based
on the results of specific QC samples and procedures associated with its sample analysis group or
rbatch. Precision and accuracy criteria (i.e., QC acceptance limits) are used in determining the need
for qualifying data. Where test data have been reduced by the laboratory, the method of reduction
will be described in the report. Reduction of laboratory measurements and laboratory reporting of
analytical parameters shall be verified in accordance with the procedures specified in the NYSDEC
program documents for each analytical method (i.e., recreate laboratory calculations and data
reporting in accordance with the method specific procedure). The standard operating guidelines
' manuals and any special analytical methodology required are expected to specify documentation
needs and technical criteria and will be taken into consideration in the validation process.
1
Upon completion of the review, a summary report will be developed to include a cover
' letter, a brief summary of each QA/QC parameter, the completed QAJQC check lists for each data
package and the "qualified" analytical results for each sample analyzed. This summary report will
be submitted to the NYSDEC as part of the closure investigation report.
' *1314\S0315503(R04) 4-27
The following is a description of the two-phased approach to data validation planned to be
used in this project. The first phase is called check listing and the second phase is the analytical
quality review, with the former being a subset of the latter.
• Check listing - The data package is checked for correct submission of the contract
' required deliverables, correct transcription from the raw data to the required deliverable
summary forms and proper calculation of a number of parameters.
• Analytical Quality Review - The data package is closely examined to recreate the
analytical process and verify that proper and acceptable analytical techniques have been
performed. Additionally,overall data quality and laboratory performance is evaluated by
applying the appropriate data quality criteria to the data to reflect conformance with the
specified, accepted QA/QC standards and contractual requirements.
4.6.1.1 -Performance and System Audits
The laboratory will be a NYSDOH ELAP and CLP certified laboratory satisfactorily
' completing performance audits and performance evaluation samples.
4.6.1.2 -Data Validation Corrective Action
' The validator will use the USEPA Functional Guidelines along with the NYSDEC QC
requirements to validate the data. If the validator discovers non-compliance with QC criteria,
transcription errors or calculation errors, a notice is prepared and sent to the laboratory and the
Town which summarizes the deficiencies. The laboratory then has five days to respond to the
validator. The validator then evaluates the laboratory's response and qualifies the data or corrects
the reported result.

4.6.2 Data Usability Analysis
sis
A data usability analysis will be performed on all analytical data gathered during the
' Closure Investigation at the Southold Landfill. The data usability analysis will consist of an
assessment of data quality objectives to determine if the objectives were met and if the validation
' criteria were met. Data will also be compared to previous sampling event results for the same
sample locations in order to determine consistency.
Various blank analyses, including field blanks, trip blanks, equipment rinsate blanks, and
method blanks will be compared to sample analysis results to provide identification of possible
non-landfill contaminants introduced during sampling, shipping or analyses. The data validation
report will evaluate the blank results to determine if certain compounds are site related or can be
' contributed to blank contamination.
Matrix effects will be evaluated by utilizing the results of the matrix spike and matrix spike
duplicate results. If the spiking recoveries are high, then certain compound results can be
considered biased high and vice versa if the recovery is slow.
Data will be determined to be compliant or non-compliant based on the NYSDEC ASP QC
requirements. Data will be considered compliant if all QC requirements were met (i.e., calibrations
' run, blanks run, holding times met, etc.). The usability of non-compliant data will be determined by
evaluating the result in comparison to previous sampling results.
Additionally, sample analyses results will be evaluated in the context of geological,
hydrogeological and meteorological conditions present during sampling. Should contamination be
identified,this evaluation will include an assessment of the extent and mobility of contamination.
Finally, the usability analysis will compare SAP quality objectives to those standards
reported during sampling and analyses.This comparison will include an evaluation of SAP required
precision, accuracy, representativeness,comparability,completeness and defensibility of the data.

CLP Inorganics
(continued)
1: Any Exanalytical method specified in hibit D, CLP-Inorganics may be
utilized as long as the documented instrument or method detection
1 limits meet the Contract Required Quantitation Level (C )
requirements. Higher quantitation levels may only be used in the
following circumstance:
' If the sample concentration exceeds two times the quantitation limit of
the instrument or method in use, the value may be reported even though
the instrument or method detection limit may not equal the contract
required quantitation level. This is illustrated in the example below:
For lead:
Method in use = ICP
Instrument Detection Limit (IDL) = 40
Sample concentration = 85
Contract Required Quantitation Level (CRQL) = 5
The value of 85 may be reported even though instrument detection limit
is greater than Contract Required Quantitation Limit. The instrument
or method detection limit must be documented as described in Exhibit E.
2: These CIOs. are the instruunent detection limits obtained in pure water
that mist be met using the procedure in Exhibit E. The quantitation
limits for samples may be considerably higher depending on the sample
matrix.
