Sampling and Analysis Plan Clause Samples
The Sampling and Analysis Plan clause outlines the procedures and requirements for collecting and testing samples, typically in the context of environmental, construction, or quality control projects. It specifies how samples should be gathered, the methods of analysis to be used, and the standards or protocols that must be followed to ensure reliable results. By establishing clear guidelines for sampling and analysis, this clause helps ensure data accuracy and consistency, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring compliance with regulatory or contractual obligations.
Sampling and Analysis Plan. The development of a project-specific sampling and analysis plan (SAP) is the next step in the project evaluation process for those projects found to have inadequate information to make a regulatory decision on suitability of dredged material disposal following a Tier I evaluation. The SAP is the main source of information about the proposed dredging project’s sampling design/approach and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) measures associated with sample collection and dredged material analyses. This RIA recommends including all project-specific sampling, testing and QA/QC components in the project SAP. Sampling and testing must be coordinated far enough in advance of dredging to allow time for testing and data review. The guidance document, QA/QC Guidance for Sampling and Analysis The USACE, New Orleans District and Galveston District, and EPA, Region 6 plan to prepare a Dredged Material Evaluation Quality Assurance Plan (QAP), which will address basic QA/QC issues associated with dredged material sampling and evaluations. The QAP will include all general QA/QC information and requirements that apply across all dredging projects including field sampling and clean techniques, laboratory testing, data validation and reporting, and other QA/QC procedures. While basic/general sampling and analysis protocols will be addressed in the QAP, the individual project sampling design and project-specific QA/QC issues should be addressed in the project SAP. Once the QAP is finalized it will be included as an appendix to this RIA. Section 6 of this RIA contains additional information on QA/QC.
Sampling and Analysis Plan. Within 30 days after the City of Bozeman Site Plan Approval or before any Work, Purchaser shall submit a Sampling and Analysis Plan to EPA and the State for review and approval consistent with the Removal Work Plan. The Sampling and Analysis Plan shall address any collection of data under the Removal Work Plan, and must consist of a Field Sampling Plan (“FSP”) and a Quality Assurance Project Plan (“QAPP”), the NCP and applicable guidance documents, including, but not limited to, “Guidance for Quality Assurance Project Plans (QA/G-5)” EPA/240/R-02/009 (December 2002) (▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/quality/guidance-quality-assurance-project-plans- epa-qag-5), “EPA Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans (QA/R-5)” EPA 240/B-01/003 (March 2001, reissue notice May 2006) (▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/quality/epa-qar-5-epa-requirements-quality- assurance-project-plans), and “Uniform Federal Policy for Quality Assurance Project Plans,” Parts 1-3, EPA-50-B-04-900A-900C, DOD- DTIC-ADA-427785 (March 2005).
Sampling and Analysis Plan. As soon as practicable after the Execution Date of this Refining Contribution Agreement, MPC shall prepare and provide to NTI for NTI’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, with a written plan for sampling and analysis of the sediments located in the north and south lagoons associated with the Refinery’s wastewater treatment plant (the two lagoons collectively being the “Refinery Wastewater Lagoons”). The written sampling and analysis plan shall describe the procedures for collection and analysis of samples of sediments from the Refinery Wastewater Lagoons. The number of samples to be collected and the analysis to be performed shall be sufficient to adequately characterize all sediments present in the Refinery Wastewater Lagoons for purposes of off-site disposal. At a minimum, the sampling and analysis conducted shall be sufficient to ascertain whether any of the sediments present in the Refinery Wastewater Lagoons are subject to classification as “hazardous waste,” as defined in 40 C.F.R. § 261.3; Minn. Stat. § 116.06; or Minn. R. 7045.0020, Minn. R. 7045.0131 and Minn. R. 7045.0135.
Sampling and Analysis Plan. The Contractor shall prepare one (1) consolidated SAP to consist of both a Field Sampling Plan (FSP) and a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP). If a base-wide SAP has already been prepared for the AF base, the Contractor shall prepare a project-specific addendum to the plan for those projects requiring sampling and analysis. If a SAP has already been prepared for the contract base year, the Contractor shall prepare project-specific addenda to the existing approved
Sampling and Analysis Plan. In accordance with Section IX of the Settlement Agreement, OCWD shall prepare a Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) for field and laboratory activities required to implement the RI/FS. SAPs are required for sample collection and analysis as well as physical measurements such as groundwater levels, borehole geophysics, aquifer parameters, and geodetic survey data. The SAP submitted pursuant to this SOW shall consist of a Field Sampling Plan (FSP) and a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP), as described in EPA guidance, including, without limitation, “EPA Guidance for Quality Assurance Project Plans (QA/G-5)”(EPA/600/R-02/009, December 2002 or subsequently issued guidance), and “EPA Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans (QA/R-5)” (EPA 240/B-01/003, March 2001 or subsequently issued guidance). Key guidance documents are listed in Attachment 3. The plans shall include, or be accompanied by, a schedule for implementation of the planned sampling, analysis, and reporting activities. The FSP and QAPP may be submitted separately or as one document. Upon EPA approval of a SAP, OCWD shall implement the activities described therein.
a. The FSP shall describe sampling and data gathering objectives; proposed monitoring well locations and planned uses of the data; well construction and well development procedures; sampling and data collection methods; sample frequencies; sampling equipment and equipment decontamination procedures; sample preservation, packing, labeling, and shipment procedures; chain-of-custody procedures; numbers and types of samples (including quality control [QC] samples); use and maintenance of field logs; and management of investigation- derived wastes. The FSP shall be written so that a field sampling team unfamiliar with the project would be able to gather the samples and field information required. The FSP shall include a schedule that describes activities that must be completed in advance of sampling, including access agreements and arrangements for disposal of investigation-derived waste. The FSP shall include provisions for the collection of split samples by EPA.
b. The QAPP shall describe the project objectives and organization, functional activities, data quality objectives (DQOs), and quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) protocols that will be used to achieve the DQOs. In addition, the QAPP shall address personnel qualifications, sampling procedures, sample custody, analytical procedures, document control procedures, prese...
Sampling and Analysis Plan. Within 75 days after Work Plan Approval, Respondents shall submit a Sampling and Analysis Plan to EPA for review and approval. This plan shall consist of a Field Sampling Plan (FSP) and a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) that is consistent with the Work Plan, the NCP and applicable guidance documents, including, but not limited to, “Guidance for Quality Assurance Project Plans (QA/G-5)” EPA/240/R-02/009 (December 2002), “EPA Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans (QA/R-5)” EPA 240/B-01/003 (March 2001, reissued May 2006), and “Uniform Federal Policy for Quality Assurance Project Plans,” Parts 1-3, EPA/505/B-04/900A-900C (March 2005). Upon its approval by EPA, the Sampling and Analysis Plan shall be incorporated into and become enforceable under this Settlement.
Sampling and Analysis Plan. The sampling and analysis plans (SAPs) for each data collection activity shall
(1) Describe procedures to ensure that sample collection and analytical activities are conducted in accordance with technically acceptable protocols and that the data meets data quality objectives (DQOs);
(2) Address planned field activities; and
(3) Describe procedures for expedited sampling in Community Areas as defined under Section 2.2(a), expedited analysis and validation of such samples, and procedures for providing such sample data to EPA for dissemination in accordance with Section 2.2 (Information for the Community).
Sampling and Analysis Plan. To implement Tier II, the DMMO requires the submission of a Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) using DMMO guidance for their review and approval. This SAP will be prepared by Weston Solutions using as a template their Bel Marin Keys SAP that was recently accepted by the DMMO. Upon receipt of the results, a report will be prepared documenting the investigation, presenting the results, and providing conclusions and recommendations, including statistical analysis, QA/QC evaluation, data validation, and DMMO presentation. District will provide full creek access, and the location of storm drains and outfall locations in the immediate vicinity of the area to be dredged. It is assumed that permits are not required, and that the maximum depth of water in the creeks will be approximately 5 feet and the maximum depth of sediment sampling will be 2 feet. If necessary the District will provide creek bathymetry data.
Sampling and Analysis Plan. The purpose of the Sampling and Analysis Plan (“SAP”) is to ensure that sampling data collection activities will be consistent with current sampling and analytical methodologies and will be comparable to and compatible with previous EPA and NHDES data collection activities performed at the Site while providing a mechanism for planning and approving field activities. The overall objectives of the SAP are as follows: • Document specific data quality objectives, procedures, and rationales for field work and sample analytical work. • Provide a mechanism for planning and approving Site and laboratory activities. • Ensure that sampling and analysis activities are necessary and sufficient. • Provide a common point of reference to ensure the comparability and compatibility of sampling and analysis activities to meet the stated project objectives. The SAP shall be the framework for anticipated field activities (e.g., sampling objectives, evaluation of existing data, standard operating procedures) and contain specific information on the field work (e.g., sampling locations and rationale, sample numbers and rationale, analyses of samples). During the SRI/FS, the SAP shall be revised as necessary to cover each round of field or laboratory activities. The SAP consists of two parts: (1) a QAPP, and (2) a FSP. The QAPP shall follow the requirements in QA/R-5 and the Region I, EPA-New England Compendium of Quality Assurance Project Plan Requirements and Guidance. The FSP will contain the standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) and other documentation to support specific sections of the QAPP. In some cases where there are unique FSP components for special applications, they will be added to the QAPP in the appropriate sections. In addition, the FSP and QAPP should be submitted as a single document (although they may be bound separately to facilitate use of the FSP in the field). The SAP shall include provisions for notifying EPA and NHDES a minimum of three weeks before initiation of each field sampling or monitoring activity. The SAP shall also provide for split, replicate, or duplicate samples to be taken by EPA, NHDES (or their contractor personnel or other government agencies working with EPA). At the request of EPA or NHDES, Respondents shall provide these samples in appropriate containers to the government representatives. Identical procedures shall be used to collect such samples, unless otherwise specified by EPA or NHDES. In the event that, following good-faith sam...
Sampling and Analysis Plan. Under Task 4.1, Anchor QEA would update and revise the previously prepared Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) for sample collection and analytical testing of dredged sediments. The SAP would be prepared in accordance with the following documents: • Evaluation of Dredged Material Proposed for Discharge in Waters of the U.S. – Testing Manual (ITM) • PN 01-01: Guidelines for Implementing the Inland Testing Manual in the San Francisco Bay Region • Beneficial Reuse of Dredged Materials: Sediment Screening and Testing Guidelines The SAP will detail the sampling and analysis methods to be followed during field sample collection and laboratory analyses to determine sediment suitability for SF-9 and Montezuma. An electronic draft SAP will be submitted to the City for review, and one round of review with minimal revisions is anticipated. Hard copies of the final SAP will be produced and distributed to the DMMO agencies and the City. Prior to sampling, approval of the SAP will be requested at a DMMO meeting. As part of ▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ will also develop a Health and Safety Plan that will provide background information, emergency phone numbers, route to nearest hospital, potential chemicals of concern, personal protective equipment requirements, key personnel responsibilities, and health and safety procedures.
