Section 1
Introduction and Site Background
This Field Sampling Plan (PSP) has been prepared to describe the field activities to be conducted in
support of an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) for the City ofPerryton Well #2 site
located in the City of Perryton, Ochiltree County, Texas. A description of the EE/CA work tasks to
be conducted for this site is provided in the EE/CA work assignment Work Plan (CH2M HILL,
1999a). This PSP describes the procedures for completion of field activities and defines in detail the
data gathering methods and sample location. The Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP), provided
under separate cover, describes the policy, organization, functional activities, and quality assurance
and control protocols necessary to achieve the data quality objectives (DQOs) determined for the
investigation (CH2M HILL, 1999b). The FSP and the QAPP together comprise the Sampling
Analysis Plan (SAP) for this EE/CA.
The City of Perryton Well No. 2 site is a public drinking water supply well contaminated by carbon
tetrachloride (CTC) at concentrations ranging from 35.8 g/1 to 50.3 //g/1. Chloroform was also
detected at concentrations less than 5 / g/1. The well has been out of service since June 1989 when
the Texas Department of Health originally documented the contamination. CTC has not been
detected in the other water supply wells.
The source of the CTC contamination is unknown and the area of contamination is undefined.
Previous investigations have suggested potential sources for the contamination; however, they have
identified no single definitive source. The Ogallala Aquifer is the principal source of drinking water
within Ochiltree County. Groundwater is the major pathway of concern.
During June 1996, Roy F. Weston, Inc. conducted an Expanded Site Inspection (ESI) for the City of
Perryton Well No. 2 (Weston, 1996). The ESI groundwater sampling activities included a 200 gallon
per minute (gpm) test that pumped approximately 6,000 gallons and a second test 5 days later at 179
gpm that pumped approximately 19,700 gallons. During the second test, lead was detected at
concentrations ranging from 35 /^g/1 to 60.9 / g/1. Lead was not detected during the first test. Also
detected in the well tests were the-herbicides propazine (concentrations of 3.3 /2g/l to 5.0 ^/g/1) and
atrazine (concentrations less than 1 g/1.

ENGINEERING EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS FIELD SAMPLING PLAN
Soil testing was also conducted as part of the ESI. CTC was not reported in the soil samples. Low
concentrations of methylene chloride and chloroform, possible degradation products of CTC, were
reported in soils from the site, but no direct correlation to the CTC groundwater contamination was
located.
The City ofPerryton is located in the extreme northernmost part of the Texas panhandle in Ochiltree
County (Figure 1-1). Well No. 2 is located within a 1.7-acre maintenance yard used by the City of
Perryton Utility Department (Figure 1-2). The well is located on the southeast comer of the property,
near the northwest comer of the intersection of North Amherst Street and Santa Fe Ave. The
geographical coordinates of the site are approximately 36 degrees 24'05" north latitude and 100
degrees 48' 20" longitude.
Further site characterization is necessary to verify the presence of lead in groundwater at Well No. 2,
as well as to gather further physical characterization information for consideration of future removal
or treatment alternatives.
Provided in Section 2 of this FSP is a description of the objectives of the field investigation and a list
of the sampling activities to be conducted in support of these objectives. Section 3 describes the
sampling activities, sampling location, and sample designations. Section 4 provides a description of
sampling equipment to be used and procedures to be followed during sample collection. Section 5
discusses the sample handling and analysis procedures, including sample custody, quality control
issues, and record keeping. Section 6 provides the Data Management Plan for storage, accessing,
handling, and securing of data generated during this sampling event. Procedures for decontamination
and the handling of investigation-derived wastes (IDW) are defined in Section 7. References are
listed in Section 8.
Health and safety procedures are defined in the Health and Safety Plan (HSP) (CH2M HILL,
1999c), provided under separate cover.

Field Investigation Objectives
During the development of the EE/CA work assignment Work Plan (CH2M HILL, 1999a), available
information for the site was reviewed. Further site characterization is necessary to verify the presence of
lead in groundwater at Well No. 2, as well as to gather further physical characterization information that
might affect later treatment options for the use of Well No. 2 as potable water.
These additional data needs are set forth in the general DQOs identified for this site characterization
sampling event. These general DQOs establish the specific types of data needed to meet the task
objectives including the number and locations of samples to be collected. Through review of existing
data, and in consideration of the suspected migration pathways described in previous site documents, the
need for additional data is necessary to delineate appropriate response actions for the City ofPerryton
Well No. 2 site. The first steps in the DQO process include evaluating available information for the site
and identifying data gaps to support development of an initial site conceptual model (SCM) so that
EE/CA objectives and decisions can be delineated. Data available from ESI activities conducted at the
City ofPerryton Well No. 2 site provide a basis for development of the DQOs.
The next steps in the DQO process involve establishing the specific types of data needed to meet the
project objectives, including the number and locations of samples to be collected and the level of quality
assurance/quality control (QA/QC). The specific EE/CA activities are identified and described based on
the type of data to be collected. These DQOs are presented in Table 2-1.
The field investigation activities described herein are those set forth in Task 3 of the EE/CA work
assignment Work Plan. Activities include a pump test at City ofPerryton Well No. 2; sampling of
groundwater for inorganics, organics, and physical parameters; and measurement of water levels during
the pump test in Well No. 2. Other related field activities include mobilization and demobilization
activities, which are described in Section 3. Sampling procedures are described in Sections 4 and 5.

Section 3
Sampling Activities
The activities planned for this preliminary sampling event in support of the EE/CA and described in the
Work Plan, are outlined in this section. The following paragraphs provide details regarding the activities
associated with the groundwater sampling at Well No. 2. The project team organization and their roles
are shown on Figure 3-1.
3.1 Mobilization/Site AccessIn preparation for the field investigation task, procurement of all equipment and supplies will be initiated
prior to the start of the investigation. All necessary equipment and supplies will be shipped to the site.
Government property management procedures will be utilized to track the receipt and maintenance of all
government-owned and leased material acquired during the project. A property control representative
will follow property control guidelines prepared by CH2M HILL for the government. These guidelines
are provided in Appendix A.
Consent agreements to obtain access to the property will be obtained prior to initiating the field work.
CH2M HILL will coordinate with City officials in order to enter the Well No. 2 pump housing and
operate the Well No. 2 pump at the desired flow rate. CH2M HILL will request that the City test the well
pump to ensure proper working condition prior to mobilization to the site. Permission to access the
nearest non-operating Perryton public supply water well or nearest private well will be requested in an
effort to collect groundwater level data. In the event that these efforts are unsuccessful, only water levels
in Well No. 2 will be monitored during this sampling event.
Purge water generated during this sampling effort will be diverted to the City's sanitary sewer system.
CH2M HILL will coordinate with City officials to make the necessary arrangements to divert the flow
from Well No. 2 to the sewer.
3.2 Sampling Location and FrequencyAs described in the work assignment Work Plan, groundwater sampling for this effort consists of time-
series sampling to be performed during an approximate 9-hour operation of the Well No. 2. As stated in
DFWROJECTM51498\SAP\FSP\FINAL\FSPSEC03.WPD 3-1 MARCH 1999

_Section 1, lead was not detected during the ESI in samples collected during the first test at Well No. 2.
However, lead was detected at concentrations significantly above MCLs in all samples collected during
the second test. Split sampling will be conducted during this characterization task in an effort to
determine if lead is present in the groundwater, or if the lead detected during the ESI is a result of
contamination from the pump, laboratory, or other outside source.
During the pump test, the well will be sampled at six different intervals. Samples will be collected at the
following intervals: immediately after turning on the pump; after the first well volume has been purged;
and after the third well volume. At that point, the collection frequency will switch to a log cycle, and
samples will be collected at 10,000 gallons, 50,000 gallons, and 100,000 gallons. One well volume has
been estimated at 1,360 gallons, based on a static depth to water reported in the ESI of 280 feet and a
well casing diameter of 16 inches. One well volume can be calculated by the following formula:
V=HxF
V = one well volumeH = length of the water column in the well (feet)F = factor for the volume of a one foot section of casing (gallons)
F can be calculated from the formula:
F=7t(D/2)2x7.48gaVft3
D = inside diameter of the well casing (feet)
All six samples and associated QC samples will be submitted to the EPA environmental laboratory in
Houston, Texas, for analysis of target analyte list (TAL) inorganics (filtered and unfiltered), target
compound list (TCL), volatile organic compound (VOC), and selected pesticides. Split samples will be
collected and submitted to a separate commercial laboratory for confirmation analysis of filtered and
unfiltered lead from all six samples (NOTE: All samples are to be shipped to the off-site laboratories via
Federal Express. Federal Express requires a 48-hour notice prior to pick-up at this location). Three
samples plus QC samples will be collected for analysis of sulfate, major anions and cations (chloride,
nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia) hardness, carbonate and bicarbonate alkalinity, total organic carbon (TOC),
total dissolved solids (TDS), and total suspended solids (TSS). These three samples will be collected at

the following intervals: 3rd well volume; 50,000 gallons; and 100,000 gallons. Table 3-1 presents the
number and frequency of samples to be collected and the associated quality control samples.
Water level data will be collected during this test in an effort to evaluate aquifer properties. Water level
measurements will be collected at Well No. 2 at a logarithmic frequency during the pump test.
3.3 Sample DesignationSample names will be assigned according to the EPA work assignment number (034) followed by the
well number (GW2) with a sequential number suffix to designate separate samples. The first sample
collected will be assigned the sample name "034-GW2-01", the second will be "034-GW2-02" and so on.
Duplicate samples will be assigned a separate sequential number suffix so that it is "blind" to the
laboratory to ensure indiscriminate handling. Split samples will be assigned identical sample names.
Sample identification numbers will be supplied to CH2M HELL by the EPA laboratory. Further
information regarding contract laboratory program (CLP) sample ID procedures is provided in Section 5.
3.4 DemobilizationAt the completion of the field investigation task, demobilization activities will be performed. These
activities will include restoration of the site to a standard determined by its prior condition, removal of all
temporary facilities, and disposition of all project-acquired and leased materials and equipment as
required under the property management guidelines (Appendix A).

Section 4
Sampling Equipment and ProceduresThe following paragraphs outline the field sampling equipment and procedures to be utilized during
this field effort. Equipment decontamination and IDW procedures are presented in Section 7.
Required sample containers, preservation methods, volumes and holding times are given in Section 5
and in the QAPP (CH2M HILL, 1999b).
4.1 Groundwater SamplingA total of 7 sets of samples will be collected from Perryton Well No. 2 during this event (Table 3-1).
Time series sampling will be performed, and samples will be collected from a tap at the wellheads.
The water purged will be diverted to the City's sanitary sewer system.
As stated in the HSP, the sampling team will work with Level D personal protective equipment (PPE)
and clothing. Based on past investigation results and the nature of the sampling method (the samples
will be collected from a water spigot and wastewater will be directed via a closed system to the
sanitary sewer), performance of air monitoring was determined to be unnecessary during this
sampling event.
•
During operation of the pump, the flowrate will be set for approximately 180 gpm. A flow meter will
be provided by the City. A gate valve will be used to regulate flow from the pump. The number and
type of groundwater samples are described in Section 3.2 and Table 3.1.
4.1.1 Sample collection
The samples will be collected immediately after the pump is first started, after one volume has been
purged (approximately 1,400 gallons); 3 volumes (4,200 gallons); 10,000 gallons, 50,000 gallons,
and 100,000 gallons. The first, third, and last samples will be collected for all parameters; the
remaining samples and the duplicate will be collected for metals, VOCs, and selected pesticides only.
Prior to collection of each sample, field-measured parameters including pH, conductivity,
temperature, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and dissolved oxygen (DO) will be collected.
Hand-held field meters, in compliance with the methods listed in the QAPP for field parameters

operation instructions will be followed during use of these instruments. A beaker or similar
container will be allowed to fill from the tap at the wellhead and overflow to a 5-gallon bucket. The
field meters will be placed in the beaker and each meter reading will be recorded in the log books.
Following collection of field parameters, VOCs, unfiltered TAL metals, unfiltered lead, selected
pesticides, and unfiltered basic water chemistry parameters (for the selected samples) will be
collected directly from the tap. Pre-labeled bottles will be held under the stream of water close to the
tap, but shall not come in contact with the surface of the tap valve. The flow out of the tap will be
adjusted to a controlled pour to avoid loss of bottle preservative and excessive aeration of the sample.
Following collection of the unfiltered samples, the flow from the tap will be directed into a
laboratory container. Filtered TAL metals and filtered lead will be collected from the container.
Water in the container will be pumped via a peristaltic pump through a disposable 45-micron water
filter connected to disposable C-flex tubing. Between each sample a new filter, container, and length
of tubing will be used.
4,2 Water Level MeasurementsAn effort will be made to collect drawdown data during this sampling effort. A 100-psi transducer
with datalogger will be placed in the nearest non-operating public supply water well or private well
to Well No. 2, if possible. If collected, this information will be stored in a datalogger and
downloaded for further evaluation.
Water level measurements will be collected at Well No. 2 during operation of the pump. A static
water level measurement will be collected prior to operation of the pump by lowering a water level
indicator into the well. Following the initial measurement, water level data will be collected at the
following frequency: once every minute for the first 10 minutes; every 5 minutes for the next 20

Section 5
Sample Handling and AnalysisAll samples, with the exception of the split samples collected for lead analysis, will be sent to the
EPA environmental laboratory in Houston, Texas. Split samples will be sent to a separate laboratory
and submitted for lead analysis only.
All analytical methods are described in the project QAPP. These methods are necessary to confirm
the presence of lead contamination, as well as to evaluate the basic water chemistry characteristics to
support future response action decision-making for the City ofPerryton Well No. 2 site. Table 5-1
provides a sample breakdown with analytical method number, bottle type, and preservative.
5.1 Field Quality Control SamplesQuality control sample collection activities are discussed in the following paragraphs. Laboratory QC
requirements are provided in the project QAPP.
Duplicate Samples
Duplicate samples are collected to evaluate the relative measure of precision of the sample collection
process. These samples are collected at the same time using the same procedures, equipment, and
sample containers as required of the original samples. They are preserved in the same manner and
submitted for the same analyses. One duplicate sample will be collected during this sampling effort.
Field Blanks
The field blank serves as a measure of sample contamination resulting from ambient field conditions,
such as fugitive dust or vapors, and monitors potential contamination that may be introduced from
the decontamination water. A field blank consists of pouring ASTM reagent grade water into sample
containers under field conditions. One field blank will be collected while inside the well housing,
and submitted for unfiltered metals, lead, VOCs, and selected pesticides.
Trip Blanks
Trip blanks are sent with every cooler shipped to the off-site laboratory containing samples for VOC
analysis. Trip blanks consist of a VOC vial filled with ASTM reagent grade water, transported to the

jt, •::":. site, handled as an environmental sample, and returned to the laboratory for analysis. Trip blanks are
not opened in the field. Trip blanks are prepared only when VOCs are collected for analysis to assess
the potential introduction of contaminants from sample containers orduring the transportation and
storage procedures. One trip blank will be shipped with the cooler containing the samples for VOC
analysis.
Matrix Spike/Matrix Spike Duplicate
Triple sample volume will be collected for one set of samples during this effort. These additional
sample containers will be labeled for MS/MSD analysis and will be used by the laboratory for
internal QC. One MS/MSD sample will be collected and submitted to both the EPA laboratory and
the commercial laboratory.
Temperature Blanks
Temperature blanks are sent with each cooler shipped to the off-site laboratory containing samples
requiring preservation at 4°C. Temperature blanks consist of a non-preserved VOC vial or similar
laboratory container filled with ASTM reagent grade water. Temperature blanks are measured at the
laboratory upon receipt to verify the temperature of the samples contained in that cooler. One
temperature blank will be shipped with each cooler to the off-site labs.
5.2 Sample Custody and IdentificationProcedures to ensure the custody and integrity of the samples begin at the time of sampling and
continue through transport, sample receipt, preparation, analysis and storage, data generation and
reporting, and sample disposal.
A sample is defined as being under a person's custody if any of the following conditions exist: (1) it
is in their possession, (2) it is in their view after being in their possession, (3) it was in their
possession and they locked it up or, (4) it is in a designated secure area after being in their
possession.

ENGINEERING EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS HELD SAMPLING PLAN
Samples collected during this event will be managed in a manner consistent with EPA CLP -
laboratory guidelines. Specific sampler guidelines can be found in the Samplers Guide to the
Contract Laboratory Program, U.S. EPA, EPA/540/R-96/032.
Each sample going to the EPA lab will be documented and identified using the appropriate EPA CLP
lables, tags, and forms. A set of CLP numbers will be assigned, samples for organic analysis will
receive sample ID numbers beginning with "F\ inorganic sample ID numbers will begin with "M",
and samples for special analysis will begin with "S". Each bottle or jar will receive a sample ID
sticker, a sample tag, and a custody seal. The sample information will be written on the appropriate
Traffic Reports/Chain of Custody (COC) forms, which will remain with the samples. COC records
for all field and field QC samples will be maintained.
Chain-of-custody forms for samples to be sent to the off-site laboratory will be hand generated. The
following minimum information concerning the sample shall be documented on the chain of custody
form:
• Unique sample identification including Station ID and Sample ID
• Date and time of sample collection
• Source of sample
• Designation of MS/MSD
• Preservative used
• Analyses required
• Nameofcollector(s)
• Pertinent field data
• Serial numbers of custody seals and transportation cases (if used)

Samples collected in the field shall be transported to the laboratory or field testing site as
expeditiously as possible. When 4°C is required for preserving the sample, the sample shall be
packed in ice or chemical refrigerant to keep it cool during collection and transportation. Samples
will be packaged in coolers using the following guidelines:
• Each sample bottle or jar will be placed within a lock-top bag and sealed.
• Samples for organic, inorganic, and special analysis will be placed in different coolers, as
they typically will be going to different laboratories. Filtered and unfiltered lead split
samples will be sent to a separate laboratory from the samples for TAL metals analyses.
• Vermiculite (or other suitable packing material) will be poured and packed into the spaces
around the coolers to prevent breakage of the sample containers. Ice will be placed in the
coolers to help maintain the cooler temperature at approximately 4°C.
• The appropriate Traffic Report/COC forms (laboratory copies only) will be sealed in a
plastic bag and taped to the inside of the cooler lid.
• Coolers will be sealed with strapping tape and at least two EPA custody seals (on opposite
sides of the cooler).
5.3 Record Keeping
Field records sufficient to recreate all sampling and measurement activities will be maintained. The
requirements listed in this section apply to all measuring and sampling activities. The information
shall be recorded with indelible ink in a permanently bound notebook with sequentially numbered
pages. These records shall be archived in an easily accessible form and made available to EPA or

Section 6
Data Management PlanThe scope of the Data Management Plan (DMP) includes planning, collecting, evaluating, storing,
and reporting information gathered during the data collection activity.
6.1 Sample IdentificationsEach sample and/or field parameter set collected during the project will be assigned a unique
SampleID, as described in Section 5.2. The objective of the SampleID is to uniquely identify each
discrete volume of sample or set of data collected from the station. SampleIDs also will be assigned
to QA/QC samples. StationBDs will be designated following the guidelines discussed in Section 3 of
this FSP.
6.2 Sample ManagementThe Data Manager (DM) is responsible for tracking the status of the samples sent to the lab. m
addition to tracking the progress of a sample, the DM reports laboratory performance with respect to
sample receipt and tum-around time. m the event that the laboratory fails to meet the project
specified tum-around time, the project manager (PM) and project chemist (PC) are notified and will
modify the laboratory invoice as appropriate.
6.2.1 Laboratory Data
The analytical data will be delivered in hard copy format from the laboratory as specified by CLP
protocal. All data generated in the field and by the laboratory will then be tabulated in Excelfc spreadsheets and stored securely. As the electronic data is loaded, the DM will verify that the
appropriate analytical tests were performed as specified on the COC forms.
6.2.2 Other Data
When applicable, the following types of field data may be entered into the existing electronic data
tables: water level data, well construction details, boring stratigraphy, and field measurements. Other
types of data elements may be added to this list as defined by the project requirements. The Field

6.3 Data EvaluationThe data evaluation phase of the project includes activities to assess the validity and technical
significance of the analytical data.
6.3.1 Data Validation
The PC will review output generated from the electronic file and supporting hard copy reports to
assess the quality of the data with respect to the project-specific DQOs, as described in Section 2.
EPA staff will perform the data validation task for the EPA laboratory-generated data; however, the
PC will evaluate QC trends. The lead confirmation data analyzed by the commercial laboratory will
be validated by the PC. The original hard copy laboratory reports will be edited m red pen by the data
validation personnel to indicate desired changes to results and qualifiers. Validation modifications
are then applied to the data in the electronic file and the data is assigned a specific validation level
pertaining to the level of data review.
6.3.2 Technical Evaluation
Once the information is updated and verified, it will be used to generate data quality summary tables.
The validated data is then available to various members of the project team to support the technical
evaluations regarding site conditions and remediation strategies. The potential data evaluation
activities include statistical reduction, nature and extent evaluation, trend analysis, and risk
assessment.
6.4 Data ReportingThe project DM will provide support to the project team through the generation of data summary
tables, criteria comparison tables, and analytical data tables.

Section 7
Decontamination and IDW Procedures
7.1 Equipment Decontamination ProceduresAll equipment that may directly or indirectly come in contact with samples, including sampling
devices and instruments such as water level indicators, shall be decontaminated. In addition, each
sample shall be prevented from coming into contact with potentially-contaminating substances, such
as tape, oil, engine exhaust, corroded surfaces, and dirt. The tap or sampling port at the wellhead of
Well No. 2, through which the majority of the samples will be collected, is assumed to be a dedicated
valve that cannot be removed or decontaminated for the purposes of this sampling effort. The tubing
and containers used for collecting the filtered samples are disposable; this equipment will be used
once, then disposed of and will not require decontamination.
Decontamination of field instruments will be instrument-specific. The probes of the pH, temperature,
DO, Eh, and specific conductivity meters will be rinsed with reagent-grade water before and after
each use. Water level indicators will be wiped down with reagent grade water.
ASTM Type n reagent-grade water shall be purchased, stored, and dispensed only in glass,
stainless-steel, or Teflon containers with Teflon caps or cap liners and care will be taken to ensure
these materials remain free of contaminants. If any question of purity exists, new materials will be
used.
7.2 Investigation Derived Waste ProceeduresThis section outlines the types of IDW likely to be generated during the performance of the sampling
and provides procedures for the handling, storage, characterization, and disposal of these wastes.
7.2.1 Purge Water
Purge water generated during the groundwater sampling will be diverted to the City's sanitary sewer
system. During mobilization, CH2M HILL will coordinate with city officials to arrange the
neccesary apparatus to divert the flow to the city sewer.
DFVWROJECT\151498\SAP\FSP\FINAL\FSPSEC07.WPD 7-1 MARCH 1999
—— ' CITY OF PERRY-TON WELL NO. 2 SITEENGINEERING EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS FIELD SAMPLING PLAN
7.2.2 Decontami nation Fluids
Decontamination of reusable sampling equipment will be necessary during the performance of this
sampling effort for rinsing of probes, beakers, and buckets. These activities will generate waste
decontamination fluids consisting of water. Waste fluids will be discharged to the sanitary sewer.
7.2.1 PPE and Disposable Sampling Equipment
Waste PPE and disposable sampling equipment and materials will be generated during the
performance of the sampling. Waste PPE will include nitrile gloves; disposable sampling equipment
will include C-flex tubing, water filters, and paper towels. Based on past analytical results at this
site, it is anticipated that the used PPE and disposable sampling equipment will be classified as non-
hazadous waste. The material will be disposed of as non-hazardous solid waste.

Control of Government Owned MaterialEPA Cost Reimbursement Contracts
DPI(Desk Operating Instructions)
This DOI is a condensed set of EPA contract specific instructions derived from the CH2M HILLGovernment Property Management Manual for the accountability of Federal Government owned materialacquired as a direct charge to Cost Reimbursement type contracts. Government owned material must onlybe used for the work assignment for which it was acquired, unless transfer of costs and written authorizationto use on other work assignments or contracts is granted by the Contracting Officer or specified in the WorkAssignment or contract This specific DOI details material control from receiving to maintaining andissuance of government owned material. It is vital that all company employees understand the importanceof keeping accurate receiving and inventory records. Failure to maintain records of government-ownedproperty, which are the official government records both on-site and at company offices, is in violation ofContract provisions. An unsatisfactory Property Control raring will result in reduced profits on award feecontracts, liability for all government property, as well as the inability to obtain future work.
Definitions:
Consumable Material: Consumable, non-reusable items, or items incorporated into end-items (e.g.monitoring systems, pumps, etc.), that will be purchased on a continuing basis (e.g., plastic bottles, rubbergloves, packing boxes, purchased parts, assemblies, components, pumps, paper, nuts, bolts, etc.)
Expendable Material: Reusable items, that are purchased on a periodic basis as the items wear out (e.g.,hammers, pliers, manual screwdrivers, flashlights, wire brushes, tool boxes, etc.)
Contractor Acquired Property (CAP): Property that is purchased by the contractor and charged direct to acost reimbursable type contract, which in turn becomes Government property.
Government Furnished Property (GFP): Government owned property that is provided to the contractor bythe government
Property Control Representative (PCR): The individual assigned by the Program or Project Manager who isresponsible on-sitc for the management and control of property, both equipment and materials. The PCRcoordinates activities with the CH2M HTTJ. Property Manager and assigned Contract Administrator.
" Note: This DOI does not pertain to government owned equipment. The process" for the control ofequipment is addressed in a separate DOL
Section 1; Receiving Material
A. The Property Control Representative (PCR) will be responsible for recording all receivedgovernment owned material on the CH2M HILL Receiving Report (RR) (see page 7 of theDOI). The PCR will coordinate all receiving activity for his/her responsible work assignment
- B. Upon receipt of government owned material on site, the PCR will examine all applicablepaper work, ensure quantities received match; inspect for damage, determine if CAP or GFP,assign and physically store the stock material to (he appropriate Work Assignment (WA)storage area. In the event that materials are received at a remote location or field site, the

receiver (if not the PCR) will inform the PCR of the acquisition and ensure that the PCR is-provided with all applicable paper work. The PCR is responsible for capturing all receiving
- . . . — data for his/her WA (this will include controlling receipts at all WA site locations.) The PCRmust coordinate with project management and project accounting to ensure that every itempurchased or furnished is recorded on a RR. Keep in mind that property may be acquired viapurchase order, expense report, check request, local agreement, national agreement, etc. Allproperty must be accounted for on a RR.
Note: All government owned stock material must be segregated and identified by individual WAs andstored in a designated storage area. Additionally, CH2M HILL owned or other contract materialmust be segregated from government owned material. Do not co-mingle material.
C. The PCR will create a Consumable Stock Record Log CSRL (CAP)/CSRL (GFP) (see pages 8& 9 of the DOI) or an Expendable Stock Record Log ESRL (CAP)/ESRL (GFP) (see pages10 & 11 of the DOI) for all newly acquired or received government material. A separateCSRL must be established for each different type of item received and each CSRL must belocated in or near where property is permanently stored. All storage bins. boxes, and shelveswill be appropriately identified with ownership (i.e. Property of US EPA) Contract Numberand WA Number. Note: Consumable material, which is issued and consumedimmediately must still be recorded on the CSRL.
D. All government owned expendable material must be permanently identified as governmentowned. Permanent ownership identification will be applied by using indelible ink or paintpen, or, scribing or etching as applicable.
E. The PCR will maintain a file of all receiving paperwork, including copies of receipts, and RRson site for audit purposes. The paperwork will be filed by contract WA, in chronologicalorder.
P. The PCR will forward copies of all RRs and current CSRLs and ESRLs monthly to theProperty Manager.
Section 2; Distributing and Maintaining Material
A. The PCR will ensure that there is no co-mingling of stock material between WAs or betweengovernment property and CH2M HILL owned or other client contract property.
B. The PCR may establish Minimum and Maximum (Min/Max) usage of government ownedconsumable stock material for each WA and record it on the CSRL.
C- The PCR will ensure that all users acknowledge receipt of all consumable government ownedstock materials taken by them from storage by logging quantities issued on the CSRL.
D. Expendable property items are not required to be recorded as issued each time those items areused (e.g. Hammers are recorded as received only once on an ESRL until final disposition.)
E. The PCR will maintain an accurate inventory of government owned stock material and ensurethat the CSRLs and ESRLs are up-to-date. Note; All consumable government owned stockmaterial must be shown as received and issued on the CSRL. This includes all materialregardless of how acquired (e.g.. Purchase Order, Expense Sheet, etc.)
F. PCR will maintain a file of the CSRLs and ESRLs on site for audit purposes.
G. The PCR will forward copies of all current CSRLs and ESRLs monthly to the PropertyManager.

SECTION 1.0
Project Management
1.1 Introduction
The purpose of this document is to present the quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC)
requirements for performing the Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) at the City of
Perryton Well No. 2 Site. Samples from this well indicated contamination by carbon tetrachloride
(CTC), chloroform, and lead. QA involves all those planned and systematic actions necessary to
provide adequate confidence that field activities will be performed satisfactorily and safely. The goal
ofQA is to ensure that activities are planned and performed according to accepted standards and
practices to ensure that the resulting data are valid and useable for the project decisionmaking
process, while continuing to meet safety requirements. QC is an integral part of the overall QA
function and is comprised of all those actions necessary to control and verify that project activities
and the resulting data meet established requirements.
The requirements of this document apply to CH2M HILL and its subcontractors. Deviations from
these procedures will be documented and included in the final report.
Provided in Section 1 of this QAPP is a description of the project management responsibilities and
data objectives. Section 2 describes the measurement and data acquisition procedures, and analytical
methods to be used for this event. Section 3 provides a description of assessment and oversight
responsibilities. Section 4 discusses the data review, validation, and verification requirements.
1.2 Project QA/QC Roles and Responsibilities
This section identifies key project team members associated with the planned sampling event and
lists the QA/QC responsibilities associated with each position. The organizational structure and
responsibilities are designed to provide project control and quality assurance for the proposed
investigation. The project team and their roles are shown on Figure 3-1, included in the Field
Sampling Plan (FSP).

Project Manager (PM). The PM is responsible for overall activities for a specific project. The PM
" is responsible for cost and schedule control and for technical quality; in addition, he develops the
ly", :&; work plan and monitors task order activities to ensure compliance with project objectives and scope.00 "'
The PM also communicates with the City ofPerryton and, as appropriate, other designated parties000 regarding project progress.
K?-
The PM has ultimate responsibility within the project team for producing deliverables that are
technically adequate, satisfactory to the client, and cost-effective. To accomplish this, the PM acts as
the review team leader (RTL) in developing an internal project review schedule, provides written
instructions and frequent guidance to the project team, and monitors budgets and schedules. As the
RTL, the PM also is responsible for coordinating internal QA/QC review for technical validity and
adherence to both internal CH2M HILL policy and project-specific criteria. The PM works with the
project team to select an internal QA/QC review team and to coordinate review efforts, and works
with the project team in addressing review comments and adjudicating technical disagreements.
Project Chemist (PC). The PC assists with the preparation of the project work planning documents,
provides a point of communication between the laboratory and the project team, supervises the
analytical data quality evaluation, and participates in preparing deliverables to the client. The PC
coordinates with the project team and the analytical laboratory during the field activities. The PC
also is responsible for monitoring project-specific laboratory activities (including checking
laboratory invoices and reports) and may audit the laboratory or field operations at the PM's
direction. The PC also monitors so that QA/QC requirements described in this project-specific QAPP
are coordinated effectively.
Field Team Leader (FTL). The FTL reports to the PM and is responsible for the coordination of
field efforts, provides for the availability and maintenance of sampling equipment and materials, and
provides shipping and packing materials. The FTL will supervise completion of all chain-of-custody
(COC) records, supervise the proper handling and shipping of samples, and be responsible for
accurate completion of the field notebook. As the lead field representative, the FTL will be
responsible for consistently implementing program QA/QC measures at the site and for performing
field activities in accordance with approved work plans, policies, and field procedures.
DFW\P:\151498\QAPP\FINAL\QAP-2.DOC 1-2
CITY OF PERRYTON WELL NO. 2 SITEENGINEERING EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS QUAUTY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN
Site Safety Coordinator (SSC). The SSC. develops and implements the project Health and Safety
Plan in the field. The SSC will assist in conducting site briefings and perform all final safety checks.
The SSC is responsible for stopping any investigation-related operation that threatens the health and
safety of the field team or surrounding populace.
1.2.1 Laboratory Work Group
Selected laboratories will be responsible for analysis of samples collected during field activities. The
laboratory PM or client services manager acts as a liaison between field and laboratory operations
and is responsible for the following:
• Receipt of sample custody from the field team members, verification of sample integrity, and
transfer of sample fractions to the appropriate analytical departments
• Coordination of sample analyses to meet project objectives
• Preparation of analytical reports
• Review of laboratory data for compliance with method requirements
• Review of any QC deficiencies reported by the analytical department manager
• Coordination of any data changes resulting from review by the project QA supervisor or the PM
• Completion of data package deliverables
• Response to questions from the project team during the data quality evaluation process
1.2.2 Project Communication
One of the most critical elements in performing any type of project is to establish and maintain lines
of communication among all project personnel. At the beginning of the project, or at the start or end
of major milestones, the PM will prepare written project instructions that will be distributed to all
team members. These instructions will document project and task instructions, and each team
member's responsibility in meeting the objectives, as well as a budget and schedule for successfully
executing the work.
DFW\PM5149aQAPP\FINAUQAP-2.00C 1-3
CITY OF PERRYTON WELL NO. 2 SITEENGINEERING EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN
Before field activity begins, a project team meeting will be held to review the concept, assumptions,
^ : and objectives of the field approach, and to review project objectives. Periodic meetings will be heldoo • ; . :r—< , to review data validity, technical evaluations, major decisions, and overall progress toward0 _ ^ •0 L completing the project. Additionally, a team kickoff meeting will be held before work on each task is
|L „ started. Senior personnel, including the review team leader, will participate in the meetings to help
focus the project approach and to define specific issues.
During the field investigation phase of this project, the field team will meet daily to review the status
of the project and to discuss technical and safety issues. When necessary, other meetings will be
scheduled or the FTL will meet individually with field personnel or City personnel to resolve
problems. Following the field effort, the FTL will prepare a trip report detailing project progress.
During the field effort, the FTL will be in regular telephone or face-to-face contact with the project
team. When significant problems or decisions requiring additional authority occur, the FTL can
immediately contact the PM for assistance. The PC will coordinate communication with the
laboratory through sample collection, sample analysis, and data quality evaluation and consult with
the RAC 6 program manager.
All communications with the City ofPerryton will be channeled through the PM. However, the FTL
may contact the City's water superintendent as directed by the PM.
1.3 Problem Definition and Background
Samples will be collected from a single municipal well. Well No. 2. The well has been out of service
since June 1989 when the Texas Department of Health originally documented the contamination.
CTC has not been detected in other water supply wells.
The City ofPerryton is in the extreme northernmost part of the Texas panhandle in Ochiltree County.
Well No. 2 is located within a 1.7 acre maintenance yard used by the City ofPerryton Utility
Department. The well is located on the southeast comer of the property, near the northwest comer of
the intersection of North Amherst Street and Santa Fe Avenue.
The source of the CTC contamination is unknown and the area of contamination is undefined.
Previous investigations have suggested potential sources for the contamination, however, they have
OFWP:\151498\QAPP\FINAL\QAP-2.DOC 14
CITY OF PERRYTON WELL NO. 2 SITEENGINEERING EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN
identified no single definitive source. The Ogallala Aquifer is the principal source of drinking within
Ochiltree County. Groundwater is the major pathway of concern. Additional information about the
site's history, and a summary a/investigation activities to date is presented in Section I of the work
plan.
1.4 Project Description
The overall objectives of this sampling effort include the following:
• Evaluate whether selected volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, or lead are present in
the groundwater from Well No. 2
• Conduct an EE/CA
Details about the development of data quality objectives (DQOs) and implementation of the work
plan are presented in the field sampling plan (FSP). A summary of the proposed samples to be
collected is presented in Table 3-1 of the FSP.
1.5 Quality Objectives and Criteria for Measurement Data
This subsection defines the levels of data that will be generated as part of the EE/CA investigation.
The level of data quality is dependent on the objective use of the results supported by the data. This
subsection also provides the quantitative quality objectives and measurement performance criteria for
the analytical data.
1.5.1 Data Quality Objectives
DQOs are both qualitative and quantitative statements that define the type, quality, and quantity of
data necessary to support project decisions. The DOQ process used for this project follows the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) QA/G4 guidance (U.S. EPA, 1996) and uses the seven-step
DQO development process. A discussion of the development of the project-specific DQOs is
presented in Section 2 of the FSP.
DFW\P.-\151498\QAPP\F1NAL\QAP-2.DOC 1-5
CITY OF PERRYTON WELL NO. 2 SITEENGINEERING EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN
1.5.2 Method Performance Objectives
The sampling approach and rationale are based on the DQOs. One activity associated with
^ . ^developing the sampling approach and rationale is developing a list of samples to be collected,QQ g .- ^,. .. • . ^ ^ , : , , , , ^ „„ -.- ... iii ] . - . ^^-rt-1,,. . .
0 ,. sample types, sampling intervals, analytical parameters, and required detection/quantification limits
0 ^ rbr each required parameter.i;;!-
Once the number and type of samples and analytical parameters are determined, the method
performance requirements are developed. The method performance requirements focus on
determining the level of QA/QC and the data package deliverable requirements for all analyses.
1.5.3 Levels of Data Quality
Two categories of data will be collected as part of this field effort, and each category has a different
level of supporting QA/QC documentation. Level 1 includes field monitoring activities, such as pH,
conductivity, temperature, or turbidity. Samples will be submitted to the laboratory for Level 3
analyses. For each QC level, the measures and methods to be used, as well as the applicable data
package deliverables, are outlined below.
Level 1-Field Surveys
Level 1 encompasses field monitoring or screening activities and does not require formal data
package deliverables. Level 1 activities are focused on easily measured bulk characteristics of a
sample such as pH, conductivity, and temperature. Monitoring results, as well as pertinent data
concerning the sampling event, will be documented in the bound field book. Level 1 documentation
will consist of the following:
• Instrument identification
• Calibration information (standards used and results)
• Date and time of calibration and sample measurements
• Sample results
The logbooks will be reviewed daily by the FTL for completeness and correctness. No additional
documentation or data quality evaluation is required.
DFW\P:\)51498\QAPP\FINAL\QAP-2.00C 1-6
CITY OF PERRYTON WELL NO. 2 SITEENGINEERING EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN
Level 3-Laboratory Analysis
The list of methods (presented in Section 2.4), and the corresponding target compound lists, have
been designed to evaluate the potential for contamination at the site. Samples will be analyzed using
methods from the following EPA manuals:
• Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) Statement of Work
• EPA-600, Evaluation of Water and Wastewater
• EPA-500, Safe Drinking Water Test Methods
• SW-846, Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste
1.5.4 Quality of Data
Analytical performance requirements are expressed in terms of precision, accuracy,
representativeness, comparability, and completeness(PARCCs). Summarized below are brief
definitions for each PARCCS parameter, and calculation equations as appropriate.
Precision
Precision is a measure of the agreement or repeatability of a set of replicate results obtained from
duplicate analyses made under identical conditions. Precision is estimated from analytical data and
cannot be measured directly. The precision of a duplicate determination can be expressed as the
relative percent difference (RPD), as calculated as
X,-X,
Xi +X,)
2
RPD = {(|Xi - X2|)/(Xi + Xz)/2} x 100 = j^'"^21 x 100
Xi = native sampleX; = duplicate sample
Accuracy
Accuracy is a measure of the agreement between an experimental determination and the true value of
the parameter being measured. Accuracy is estimated through the use of known reference materials
or matrix spikes. It is calculated from analytical data and is not measured directly. Spiking of
reference materials into a sample matrix is the preferred technique because it provides a measure of
the matrix effects on analytical accuracy. Accuracy, defined as percent recovery (P), is calculated as

<^ SSR=spiked sample result, SR=sampIe result (native), and SA=the spike concentration added to the spiked sample
^""Representativeness
Representativeness is a qualitative measure of the degree to which sample data accurately and
precisely represent a characteristic environmental condition. Representativeness is a subjective
parameter and is used to evaluate the efficacy of the sampling plan design. Representativeness is
demonstrated by providing full descriptions of the sampling techniques and the rationale used for
selecting sampling locations in the project planning documents.
There cannot be a target goal for a qualitative parameter such as representativeness or comparability.
Therefore, this criterion is completed and evaluated subjectively rather than quantitatively. The
measure for representativeness is answered during the preparation of the sampling and analysis
approach and rationale and then reassessed during the data usability process. For example, an integral
part of developing the sampling and analysis approach and rationale is to answer the question "How
many samples are needed to fully evaluate x." Then, during the data usability process, the question
"Were enough data collected to answer the original question" must be answered Thus, it is not
possible to construct a table with numerical goals that can be used to evaluate these subjective
measures.
Completeness
Completeness is defined as the percentage of measurements judged to be valid compared to the total
number of measurements made for a specific sample matrix and analysis. Completeness is calculated
using the following formula:
Completeness = Valid Measurements x 100Total Measurements
Experience on similar projects has shown that laboratories typically achieve about 90 percent
completeness. All validated data will be used. During the data validation process, an assessment will
be made of whether the valid data are sufficient to meet project objectives. If sufficient valid data are
not obtained, corrective action will be initiated by the PM.
DFW\P:\151498\QAPP\FINAUQAP-2.DOC 1.8
CITY OF PERRYTON WELL NO. 2 SITEENGINEERING EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN
Comparability
Comparability is another qualitative measure designed to express the confidence with which one data
set may be compared to another. Sample collection and handling techniques, sample matrix type, and
analytical method all affect comparability. Comparability is limited by the other PARCCS
parameters because data sets can be compared with confidence only when precision and accuracy are
known. Data from one phase of an investigation can be compared to others when similar methods are
used and the similar data package are obtained.
1.6 Project Narrative
As noted previously, a detailed project approach and rationale is presented in the work plan. In
general, the two project objectives are to determine whether selected VOCs, pesticides, and lead are
present in the groundwater and to perform an EE/CA.
1.7 Special Training Requirements and Certifications
The PM works with the RAC 6 program manager to assemble a project team with the necessary
experience and technical skills. Part of the work planning process is to identify special training
requirements and certifications necessary to execute the project successfully.
No unique training requirements or certifications were identified as part of the work planning
process.
1.8 Documentation and Records
The PM will be responsible for organizing, storing, and cataloging all project information. He also is
responsible for collecting records and support data from all project team members. Individual project
team members may maintain separate notebooks for individual tasks and these notebooks will be
transferred to the PM at the end of the project during project close-out.

SECTION 2
Measurement and Data Acquisition
2.1 Sampling Process Design
This section describes the procedures for sample collection, handling, measurement, field and
laboratory data acquisition, and management activities to be performed in support of this project.
2.1.1 Sample Disposal
The laboratories will be responsible for disposing retained samples in accordance with the contract
and applicable regulations.
2.1.2 Management of Investigation-Derived Waste
Management of investigation-derived waste (IDW) is detailed in Section 7 of the FSP. Since this is a
drinking water well, no hazardous waste will be generated as part of the field sampling effort.
Permission has been granted by the City ofPerryton for water pumped from the well to be disposed
of in the nearby sanitary sewer.
2.2 Sampling Methods Requirements
Sampling methods are detailed in Section 4 of the FSP. Since this is a drinking water well, samples
will be collected using a side faucet. No equipment will be used to collect the groundwater sample;
instead, samples will be collected by holding the sample container under the faucet. Groundwater
samples will be filtered for analysis of dissolved lead. The FSP includes instructions on the following
procedures:
• Measuring field parameters
• Measuring the water level
• Collecting groundwater samples

2.3.1 Field Documentation
Bound field log books will be maintained by the FTL and other team members to provide a daily
record of significant events, observations, and measurements during sampling. All information
pertinent to sampling will be recorded in the log books. All entries will be signed and dated and must
include at least the following information:
• Name and title of author, date and time of entry, and weather/environmental conditions duringthe field activity
• Location of sampling activity
• Name and title of field crew
• Name and title of site visitors
• Sample media (for example, groundwater)
• Sample collection method (for example, holding the sample container under the faucet)
• Number and volume of sample(s) taken
• Date and time of collection
• Sample identification number(s)
• Sample distribution (for example, laboratory)
• Field observations
• Field measurements (for example, pH, temperature, and conductivity)
• All sample documents such as:
Bottle lot numbers
Dates and method of sample shipments
- COC forms
• Sample handling (preservation)
DFWP:M51498\QAPP\FINAL\QAP-2.DOC 2-2
All original data recorded in field log books, sample labels, and COC forms will be written with
waterproof, black, indelible ink. None of these accountable documents are to be destroyed or thrown
away, even if one is illegible or contains inaccuracies requiring document replacement. If an error is
made on an accountable document assigned to one individual, that individual should make all
corrections simply by crossing a line through the error, initialing and dating the correction, and
entering the correct information. The erroneous information should not be obliterated. Any
subsequent error discovered on an accountable document should be corrected by the person who
made the entry. All subsequent corrections will be initialed and dated.
2.3.2 Sample Containers and Preservatives
The FTL is responsible for proper sampling, labeling of samples, preservation, and shipment of
samples to the laboratory to meet required holding times. The sample containers, preservative
requirements, and maximum holding times for the common methods used to analyze samples are
summarized in Table 2-1.
2.3.3 Sample Identification
The PM and FTL will assign sample identifiers before the sampling effort begins. Sample identifiers
will contain information about the well and time the sample is collected. The following information
will be included on each sample container label:
• Site name or identifier
• Sample identification number
• Date and time of sample collection
• Sample matrix or matrix identifier
• Type of analyses to be conducted
Additional sample volume will be collected for samples identified by the FTL for the laboratory QC
(i.e., MS, MSD, DUP) and specified for lab QC use. Additional detail about sample identifiers is
included in Section 3 and Section 5 of the FSP.
DFWP:\151498\QAPP\F1NAL\QAP-2.DOC 2-3
2.3.4 Sample Packing and ShippingF; Samples will be delivered to the designated laboratory by a common carrier such as Federal Express.
^s0 S During the field effort, the FTL (or designee) will contact the laboratory daily to inform it abouto\ - - ' — - : -- ^ ^ . • ^ - - . . ' . _: ,.^-^ shipments. Hard plastic ice chests or coolers with similar durability will be used for shipping
0 ; samples. The coolers must be able to withstand a 4-foot drop onto solid concrete in the position most
^ likely to cause damage. Styrofoam, bubble wrap, or other materials specified in the FSP will be used|- ^ ... - . . - ; . - ^ - ^ ..^... ^ -,_ as packing material to protect the samples from breaking during shipment.
All water VOC vials will be shipped in the same cooler. After packing is complete, the cooler will be
taped shut, with COC seals affixed across the top and bottom joints. Each container will be clearly
marked with 'THIS END UP" arrows on all four sides and a sticker containing the originator's
address as shown in Figure 2-1.
The following procedures will be used when transferring the samples for shipment:
• Samples will be accompanied by a COC form. When transferring the possession of samples, the
individuals relinquishing and receiving will sign, date, and note the time on the record. This
record documents transfer of custody of samples from the field sampler to another person, or to
the laboratory. Overnight carriers will be treated as a single entity and a single signature will be
required when the samples are delivered to the laboratory.
• Samples will be properly packaged for shipment and dispatched to the appropriate laboratory for
analysis with a separate signed COC form enclosed in each sample box or cooler.
• All packages will be accompanied by a COC form identifying the contents. The original record
will accompany the shipment, and a copy will be retained by the FTL.
2.3.5 Sample Custody
Sample custody and documentation procedures described in this section will be followed throughout
all sample collection activities. Components of sample custody procedures include the use of field
log books, sample labels, custody seals, and COC forms. Each person involved with sample handling
will be trained in COC procedures before the start of the field program. The COC form will
accompany the samples during shipment from the field to the laboratory.

Field Custody
The following procedures will be used to document, establish, and maintain custody of field samples:
• Sample labels will be completed for each sample with waterproof ink, making sure that the labels
are legible and affixed firmly on the sample container.
• All sample-related information will be recorded in the project log book.
• The field sampler will retain custody of the samples until they are transferred or properly
dispatched.
• To simplify the COC record and minimize potential problems, as few people as possible should
handle the samples or physical evidence. For this reason, one individual from the field sampling
team will be designated as the responsible individual for all sample transfer activities. This field
investigator will be responsible for the care and custody of the samples until they are properly
transferred to another person or facility.
• All samples will be accompanied by a COC record. This record documents the transfer of
custody of samples from the field investigator to another person, to the laboratory, or other
organizational elements, as each change of possession must be accompanied by a signature for
relinquishment and receipt of the samples.
• Completed COC forms will be placed in a plastic cover and placed inside of the shipping
container used for sample transport from the field to the laboratory.
• When samples are relinquished to a shipping company for transport, the tracking number from
the shipping bill or receipt will be recorded on the COC form and in the site logbook.

• Custody seals will be used on the shipping containers when samples are shipped to the laboratory
to inhibit sample tampering during transportation.
Laboratory Sample Custody
Each laboratory receiving samples for this project must comply with the laboratory sample custody
requirements outlined in its Quality Assurance Plan (QAP). The FTL or the PC will notify the
laboratory of upcoming field sampling activities and the subsequent transfer of samples to the
laboratory. This notification will include information concerning the number and type of samples to
be shipped, as well as the expected date of arrival.
The following procedures will be used by the laboratory sample custodian in maintaining the COC
once the samples have arrived at the laboratory:
• The laboratory will designate a sample custodian who will be responsible for maintaining
custody of the samples and for maintaining all associated records documenting that custody.
• Upon receipt of the samples, the custodian will check the original COC and request-for-analysis
documents and compare them with the labeled contents of each sample container for corrections
and traceability. The sample custodian will sign the COC and record the date and time received.
The sample custodian also will assign a unique laboratory sample number to each sample.
• Cooler temperature (temperature vial) will be checked and recorded.
• Care will be exercised to annotate any labeling or descriptive errors. If discrepancies occur in the
documentation, the laboratory will immediately contact the FTL as part of the corrective action
process. A qualitative assessment of each sample container will be performed to note anomalies,
such as broken or leaking bottles. This assessment will be recorded as part of the incoming COC
procedure.
• If all data and samples are correct and there has been no tampering with the custody seals, the
"Received by Laboratory" box will be signed and dated.
• Samples will be stored in a secured area and at a temperature of approximately 4 degrees
Centigrade, if necessary, until analyses are to begin.
DFWPM5149ffiQAPP\FlNAL\QAP-2.DOC 2-7
CITY OF PERRYTON WELL NO. 2 SITEENGINEERING EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN
• The laboratory will send a sample acknowledgement letter to the PM or FTL as a record that the
„ shipment arrived and the conditions of the containers upon arrival. Any discrepancy will be
§ L identified and corrective actions performed. The PC may need to provide guidance concerning(S ^ \ ' " " " " ~ ' '• • . •0 " additional actions. A copy of the sample acknowledgement will be retained with the COC by the
' project manager.0
• Samples will be accompanied by a COC form. When transferring the possession of samples, the
individuals relinquishing and receiving will sign, date, and note the time on the record. This
record documents transfer of custody of samples from the field sampler to another person, or to
the laboratory.
• A laboratory COC form will accompany the sample or sample fraction through final analysis for
control.
• Copies of the COC and request-for-analysis forms will accompany the laboratory report and will
become a permanent part of the project records.
• Samples must be accompanied by a COC form. When transferring possession of samples, the
individuals relinquishing and receiving must sign, date, and note the time on the record. This
record documents transfer of custody of samples from the field sampler to another person or to
the laboratory. Overnight carriers will be treated as a single entity, and a single signature will be
required when samples are delivered to the laboratory.
• Samples must be properly packaged for shipment and dispatched to the appropriate laboratory for
analysis with a separate signed COC form enclosed in each sample box or cooler.
• All packages must be accompanied by a COC form identifying the contents. The original record
must accompany the shipment, and the FTL must retain a copy. Additional details about
laboratory sample custody will be included in the laboratory comprehensive quality assurance
plan (CompQAP).
2.4 Analytical Methods Requirements
Samples will be analyzed using the following analytical methods:
Low-level CLP Statement of Work forVOCs
DFW\P:\151498\QAPP\FINAL\QAP-2.DOC 2-8
• Selected pesticides using EPA method 525
• Metals by EPA method 200.7 (Trace induct! vely coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy) and 200.8
(inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry)
• Sulfate E300.0
• Nitrate and nitrite by EPA method E-300.0
• Ammonia by EPA method E350.1
• Chloride by EPA method E300.0
• Hardness by EPA method 130.1
• Carbonate and bicarbonate alkalinity by EPA method 310.1
• Total organic carbon (TOC) by EPA method 415.2
• Total dissolved solids (TDS) by EPA method 160.1
• Total suspended solids (TSS) by EPA method 160.2
Two laboratories will be used to analyze the samples. All the samples will be submitted to the
Houston EPA laboratory. Selected samples will be split and sent to Accutest Laboratories of
Orlando, FL, for analysis of total and dissolved lead.
Project-specific method target compound lists and reporting limits are summarized in Table 2-2. The
laboratory will provide EPA CLP packages for the VOCs, pesticides and metals. EPA Level 4 data
packages will be provided for the general chemistry parameters as outlined in Table 2-2.
2.5 Quality Control Requirements
2.5.1 Field QC Samples
Field QC Samples will include the following:
DFVAP:\151498\QAPP\F1NAL\QAP-2.DOC 2-9
CITY OF PERRYTON WELL NO. 2 SITEENGINEERING EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN
• Trip Blanks are used to monitor potential VOC contamination introduced during sample
shipping and handling. Trip blanks are 40-mL VOC vials of American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) Type 11 water that are filled in the laboratory, transported to the sampling site,i"'1 " 11"" ! ! !, - : 1 1 1 1 1 , 1 VT:;:; • ' -- !;!-\ ^.''"•fft'sr"1',:..'^:.^;?;^. I ' - 1 ' 1 1 1 - 1 ! ^to-i-^,1:'.'.1 11":!,. '1...-,1^.;.,;1- -& " '•"
and returned to the laboratory with the VOC samples. Trip blanks are analyzed for VOCs only.
Trip blanks are not opened in the field. One trip blank will be included with each cooler
containing samples for VOC analysis.
• Equipment rinsate blanks (ERBs) are samples of ASTM Type n water passed through and over
the surface of decontaminated sampling equipment. ERBs are used to monitor the effectiveness
of the decontamination process The rinse water is collected in sample bottles, preserved, and
handled in the same manner as the samples. Samples will be collected by holding the sample
containers directly under the well faucet; therefore, no ERBs will be collected for the general
sampling effort.
• Field or Decontamination Water Blanks (FBs) are samples of the water used for
decontamination and steam cleaning. This blank is used to monitor for potential contaminants
introduced during field decontamination procedures. One FB will be collected for the water used
to decontaminate the field instruments.
• Duplicate field samples, which are "blind" to the laboratory (i.e. the identity of the duplicate
field samples is not noted on the laboratory COC form), are collected to monitor the precision of
the field sampling process. The field team leader will choose one sample and collect duplicate
aliquots. The identity of the duplicate field sample will be recorded in the field sampling
logbook, and this information will be forwarded to the data quality evaluation team to aid in the
review and evaluation of the data.
2.5.2 Matrix Spike/Matrix Spike Duplicate
For matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD) samples, three aliquots of a single sample are
analyzed: one native and two spiked with target compounds (organic analyses) or metals. Spike
recovery is used to evaluate potential matrix interferences as well as accuracy. The duplicate spike
results (MS/MSD) are compared to evaluate precision. One MS/MSD sample will be analyzed as part
of the overall analytical plan.

2.5.3 Field and Laboratory Corrective Action
Field Corrective Action
The PM is responsible for overseeing the corrective action process, but any team member may
initiate the process. The corrective action process consists of identifying a problem, acting to
eliminate the problem, monitoring the effectiveness of the corrective action, verifying that the
problem has been eliminated, and documenting the corrective action.
Documentation of the problem is important to overall management of the study. A corrective action
request form for problems associated with sample collection is completed by the person discovering
the QA problem. The Corrective Action Request Form (Figure 2-2) identifies the problem,
establishes possible causes, and designates the person responsible for action. The responsible person
will be either the PM or FTL.
The form includes a description of the corrective action and has space for follow-up comments. The
PM will verify that the initial action has been taken and that it appears to be effective and, at an
appropriate later date, check to see if the problem has been fully resolved. The PM will receive a
copy of all corrective action request forms and enter them into the corrective action log. This
permanent record will aid the PM in follow-up and assist in resolving QA problems.
Examples of corrective action are correcting COC forms, problems in sample collection, packing,
shipping, field record keeping, or additional training in sampling. Additional approaches may
include:
• Resampling and
• Evaluating and amending sampling procedures.
Laboratory Corrective Action
The laboratory department supervisors review the data generated to verify that all QC samples have
been run as specified in the procedure. Laboratory personnel are alerted that corrective actions may
be necessary under the following conditions:
• QC data are outside the warning or acceptable windows for precision and accuracy established
for laboratory samples.

• Corrective actions are implemented immediately when nonconfbnnances in QC sample results
are identified by the bench analyst. Corrective action procedures are handled initially at the
bench level by the analyst, who reviews the preparation or extraction procedure for possible
errors and checks such parameters as instrument calibration, spike and calibration mixes, and
instrument sensitivity.
The analyst immediately notifies his or her supervisor of the problem and the investigation being
done. If the problem persists or cannot be identified, the matter must be referred to the laboratory
supervisor and QA/QC officer for further investigation. All laboratory QC problems that will impact
the final data must be discussed with the PC as part of the corrective action process. Once resolved,
full documentation of the corrective action procedure must be filed with the laboratory supervisor,
and the QA/QC officer must be provided with a corrective action memorandum for inclusion into the
project file if data are affected (confirmation of communication memo).

Assessments and Oversight
Assessment and oversight activities are performed to determine whether the QC measures identified
in the work plan and QAPP are being implemented and documented as required. Audits and reviews
are the tools to implement this process. For example, during a review the auditor may check that a
monitoring well has been correctly sampled or that the field QC samples were collected at the
appropriate frequency. During an audit or review, the auditor may check for:
• Adherence to the site-specific plans
• Documentation of the process or system
• Proper identification, resolution, and documentation of nonconformance with the process or
system
• Correction of identified deficiencies
3.1 Assessments and Response Actions
The need for an audit can be determined independently by the PM. Assessment activities may include
surveillance, inspection, peer review, management system review, readiness review, technical
systems audit, performance evaluation, and data quality assessment. The PM will be responsible for
initiating audits, selecting the audit team, and overseeing audit implementation.
Audits of the analytical laboratories will be performed in accordance with the laboratory subcontract.
Laboratory audits will be performed by the PC or designee in compliance with the subcontract.
Field audits will be conducted by the PC or other review team member as designated by the PM.
3.1.1 Laboratory Performance and Systems Audits
Laboratory systems will be audited in accordance with project requirements. Contracted laboratories
must submit a Laboratory CompQAP. The CompQAP must include relevant standard operating
procedures, a description of the laboratory's internal procurement policies, and its corrective action
program.
DFWVM51498\QAPP\FINAL\QAP-2.DOC 3-1

Any nonconformance noted during an audit will result in a corrective action.
3.1.2 Field Team Performance and System Audits
The PC or other member of the review team as designated by the PM may conduct an audit of the
field activities in accordance with the program requirements. The audit will address at least the
following issues:
• Are sampling operations being performed as stated in the site-specific work plan?
• Are the sample labels being filled out completely and accurately?
• Are the COC records complete and accurate?
• Are the field notebooks being filled out completely and accurately?
• Are the sampling activities being conducted in accordance with the site-specific work plan and
approved SOPs?
• Are the documents generated in association with the field effort being stored as described in the
site-specific work plan?
The generation and documentation of field data will also be audited. The audits will focus on
verifying that proper procedures are followed so that subsequent sample data will be valid. Any
nonconformance noted during an audit will result in corrective action.
The results of the assessment and oversight activities will be reported back to the PM, who has
ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the corrective action response is completed, verified, and
documented.

3.2 Reports to Management
Reports to the PM include project status reports, the results of evaluation and system audits, data
quality assessments, and significant QA and recommended solutions. The status reports, submitted in
accordance with the requirements of site-specific work plan, will discuss at least current activities,
problems encountered and their resolution, and planned work.
QA reports will be submitted in accordance with the site-specific work plan. QA reports document
implementation of the QAPP and the results of the site -specific QA/QC audits. A final QA report
must be submitted as part of each project's final report. The topics to be covered are outlined in the
site-specific work plan, but each will include at least the following information:
• Identification of nonconformances that required corrective action and resolution of the
nonconformance
• Data quality assessment in terms of precision and accuracy and how they affect the usability of
the analytical results
• Limitations of the qualified results and a discussion of rejected results
• Discussion of the field and laboratory QA/QC sample results
• Results of external laboratory audits.

Data Review, Validation, and VerificationRequirements________________
4.1 Data Review and Validation
Data review and validation are processes whereby data generated in support of this project are
reviewed against the QA/QC requirements. The data are evaluated for precision, accuracy, and
completeness against the analytical protocol requirements. Nonconformances or deficiencies that
could affect the usability of data are identified as noted.
4.1.1 Level 1—Field Survey Data
Field instruments used to collect field survey (or bulk measurements such as pH or conductivity) are
direct reading, thus making field calculations and subsequent data reduction unnecessary. Field data
will be recorded in the site log books by appropriately trained field personnel. Field data will include
the following:
• Instrument identification
• Calibration information (standards used and results)
• Date and time of calibration and sample measurement
• Sample results
• Supporting information if appropriate
Data will be reviewed by the FTL, who is responsible for the collection and verification of all field
data while in the field. Recorded data will be accepted or rejected by the FTL before leaving the
sampling site. Extreme readings (readings that appear significantly different from other readings at
the same site) will be accepted only after the instrument has been checked for malfunction and/or if
the readings are verified by retesting.
Field documentation, sample data, instrument calibrations, and QC data will be reviewed by the PM
(or a designee) before being included in the project files.

categories of data evaluation are laboratory performance and matrix interferences. Evaluation of
laboratory performance is a check for compliance with the method requirements and is a straight-
forward examination—either the laboratory did, or did not, analyze the samples within the limits of
the analytical method. Evaluation of the matrix interferences is more subtle and involves analysis of
several results including surrogate spike recoveries, matrix spike recoveries, and duplicate sample
results.
Before the analytical results are released by the laboratory, both the sample and QC data will be
reviewed carefully to verify sample identity, instrument calibration, detection limits, dilution factors,
numerical computations, accuracy of transcriptions, and chemical interpretations. Additionally, the
QC data will be reduced and spike recoveries will be included in control charts, and the resulting
data will be reviewed to ascertain whether they are within the laboratory-defined limits for accuracy
and precision. Any non-conforming data will be discussed in the data package cover letter and case
narrative. The laboratory will retain all of the analytical and QC documentation associated with each
data package.
The data package will be reviewed by the PCs using the process outlined in the guidance document,
Functional Guidelines/or Evaluating Data Quality (U.S. EPA, 1994). The data review and
validation process is independent of the laboratory's checks. It focuses on the usability of the data to
support the project data interpretation and decision-making process. Areas of review include data
package completeness, holding time compliance, initial and continuing calibration, spiked sample
results, method blank results, and duplicate sample results. A data review worksheet will be
completed for each data package. Acceptance criteria for each area of review are specified in the
analytical method. For example, acceptance criteria for initial and continuing calibration are
specified in each analytical method; any non-conformances will be noted on the data review
worksheets and the effect of the non-conformance on the overall usability of the data will be
evaluated as part of the overall data quality evaluation.

Samples that do not meet the acceptance limit criteria will be indicated with a qualifying flag, which
is a one or two-letter abbreviation that indicates a problem with the data. Flags used in the text may
include the following:
U Undetected. Analyte was analyzed for but not detected above the method detection
limit.
J Estimated. The analyte was present, but the reported value may not be accurate or
precise.
UJ Detection limit estimated. The analyte was not detected above the detection limit, but
the actual detection limit may be estimated.
R Rejected. The data were rejected because the corresponding QC data were not within
the method-specified limits.
It is important to note that laboratory qualifying flags are included on the data summary forms (Form
I) that are submitted to the project by the laboratory. However, during the data review and validation
process, the laboratory qualifying flags are evaluated and replaced with the project-specific
validation flags.
Once each of the data packages has been reviewed, and the data review worksheets completed, then
the entire data set will be evaluated for overall trends in data quality and usability. Information
summarized as part of the data quality evaluation may include chemical compound frequencies of
detection, dilution factors that might affect data usability, and patterns of target compound
distribution. The data set also will be evaluated to identify potential data limitations or uncertainties
in the laboratory. Additional areas of review are listed below.
Field and Laboratory Blank Contamination
The appearance and concentration of target compounds in field and laboratory blanks as well as
environmental samples will be reviewed. Common field sampling and laboratory contaminants
detected in blanks include acetone, methylene chloride, and phthalates. Acetone and methylene
chloride are used to extract samples in the laboratory, and hence, are common laboratory
contaminants. Phthalates are used as plasticizers, the most common of which is bis(2-
ethylhexyl)phthalate, and are often introduced during sample handling.

If these compounds are encountered in a method blank at a concentration greater than the PQL,
corrective actions will be taken in an attempt to eliminate these compounds. These compounds also
.may be detected in field blanks above the PQL. In either case, all analytical data above the PQL
associated with these compounds will be flagged to indicate possible cross contamination.

Surrogate spike compounds are added to each sample for the organic analytical methods. Surrogate
spike compounds are structurally similar (but not identical) to target compounds and should behave
in a similar manner during analysis. Surrogate spike recoveries are used to monitor both laboratory
performance and matrix interferences. Surrogate spike recoveries from field and laboratory blanks
are used to evaluate laboratory performance because these blanks represent an ideal sample matrix.
Surrogate spike recoveries for field samples are used to evaluate the potential for matrix
interferences. When surrogate spike recoveries for field samples fall outside the method target
acceptance windows, the samples are re-extracted if appropriate, then re-analyzed. If the surrogate
spike recovery is still outside the acceptance window for the re-analyzed sample, then the sample
results are qualified as affected by matrix interferences.
Matrix Spike Recoveries
For this QC measure, three aliquots of a single sample are analyzed-one native and two spiked with
the same concentration of matrix spike compounds. Unlike the surrogate spike compounds, matrix
spike compounds are found on the method target compound list. Spike recovery is used to evaluate
potential matrix interferences, as well as accuracy. The duplicate spike results are compared to
evaluate precision.
Laboratory Control Samples
An aliquot of ASTM type n water is spiked with target analytes or compounds at concentrations in
the middle of the linear calibration range, and then prepared and analyzed with a batch of samples.
The laboratory control sample is used to QC a preparation batch.

CITY OF PERRYTON WELL NO. 2 SITEENGINEERINQ EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN
Duplicate Sample Results
Two field duplicate samples will be collected and analyzed as part of the field effort. Both the native
and duplicate samples will be analyzed for the same parameters. Target compounds that are detected
in both the native and duplicate samples will be compared and the precision estimated for the sample
results calculated.
4.2 Validation and Verification Methods
The data validation process is conducted to assess the effect of the overall sampling and analysis
process on the usability of the data. There are two areas of review: laboratory performance evaluation
and the effect of matrix interferences. Evaluation of laboratory performance is a check for
compliance with the method requirements and is a straightforward examination. The laboratory either
did or did not analyze the samples within the QC limits of the analytical method and according to
protocol requirements. The assessment of potential matrix effects consists of a QC evaluation of the
analytical results and also the results of testing blank, duplicate, and matrix spike samples, and then
assessing how, if at all, the matrix effect will impact the usability of the data.
All analytical data will be supported by a data package and requirements are listed in Table 2-3. The
data package contains the supporting QC data for the associated field samples. Before the laboratory
releases each data package, the laboratory QA officer or the analytical section supervisor must
carefully review the sample and laboratory performance QC data to verify sample identity, the
completeness and accuracy of the sample and QC data, and compliance to the method duplication.
Data validation will be performed in accordance with the EPA guidance manuals Functional
Guidelines for Evaluating Data Quality. In order to achieve consistent data validation, data
worksheets will be completed for each data validation effort which summarize any non-
conformances identified with the data.
4.2.1 Trend Analysis
Once the data packages for each project have been reviewed, the entire data set will be evaluated for
overall trends in data quality and usability. Information summarized as part of the data quality
evaluation will include frequencies of detection, dilution factors that might affect data usability, and

The final activity of the data quality evaluation is to assess whether the data meets the planned DQOs
for this project. The final results, as adjusted for the findings of any data validation/data evaluation,
will be checked against the DQOs and an assessment will be made as to whether the data is of
sufficient quality to support the DQOs. The decision as to data sufficiency may be affected by the
overall precision, accuracy, and completeness of the data as demonstrated by the data validation
process. If the data are sufficient to achieve project objectives, the PM will release the data and work
can proceed. If the data are insufficient, corrective action will be required.
