1.0 INTRODUCTION
This quality assurance project plan (QAPP) has been prepared in response to the statement of work
(SOW) for the remedial investigation/feasibility study (PJ/FS) for the Barber Orchard site in
Haywood Count, North Carolina, issued to Black & Veatch Special Projects Corporation (Black &
Veatch) on September 28, 2000, by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region IV (EPA).
This SOW was issued through EPA Response Action Contract (RAC) No. 68-W-99-043 under Work
Assignment No. 034-RICO-A4T9. This QAPP is a critical planning document for the RI
environmental data collection activities to be performed at the Barber Orchard site.
This document will address the implementation of quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)
activities throughout the life cycle of the project and is the basis for identifying how the quality
system of the organization performing the work is reflected in the project and in associated technical
goals. This QAPP is an integral part of the sampling and analysis plan and incorporates the elements
of a data management plan as specified in the EPA SOW for the RI/FS at the Barber Orchard site.
The format and information in this QAPP are based on the October 1997 EPA document
Requirements/or Quality Assurance Project Plans for Environmental Data Operations (EPA QA/R-
5), and supplemented by the February 1998 EPA document Guidance for Quality Assurance Project
Plans (EPA QA/G-5).

2.2 Problem Definition and Background
2.2.1 Background
The site consists of approximately 500 acres located off of U.S. Highway 74 approximately 3 miles
west of Waynesville in Haywood County, North Carolina. The 500-acre site has historically been

used as agricultural land for an apple orchard from 1903 until 1998. The majority of the site has been
subdivided for residential development, with homes constructed on a portion of the parcels. More
information regarding the Barber Orchard site background can be found the Barber Orchard Work
Plan, Volume 1.
2.2.2 Site Problem In 1999, samples from a residential water well on the former orchard property reported detected
pesticide contamination. Subsequent sampling results again reported detected pesticides, as well as
arsenic and lead, within surface soils throughout the former orchard area. EPA proposed the
subdivision a Superfund site and in 1999 initiated an emergency response to remediate those
properties developed as residences that contained arsenic in surface soils at concentrations greater
than forty milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg). In addition to arsenic, lead, dichlorodiphenyl-
dichloroethane, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene, dieldrin, alpha-betahexachlorocyclohexane, endrin,
and endrin ketone have been identified as contaminants of potential concern (COPC).
The objective of this RI/FS is to determine the nature and extent of contamination, quantify potential
risk to human health and the environment, and collect sufficient data to conduct an FS to evaluate
potential remedial measures for the Barber Orchard site.
2.3 Project Description IT will furnish the necessary personnel, materials, equipment, services, and facilities to perform the
work as the team subcontractor to Black &Veatch. IT will provide a team of fully trained personnel
including engineers, chemists, toxicologists, technicians, skilled tradesmen, and administrative
support personnel. This team will provide the support necessary and the management structure to
perform the tasks required to complete RI/FS.
The scope of work for this project may include the following activities:
Site reconnaissance
Civil survey
Installing, logging, and sampling shallow and deep monitoring wells
Collecting surface and subsurface soil samples
Collecting sediment and surface water samples
Camping equipment decontamination
Sampling and Analysis Plan, Volume 2 - Quality Assurance Project Plan EPA Contract No. 68-W-99-043 Work Assignment 034-R1CO-A4T9 Rl/FS Barber Orchard Site
• Investigation-derived waste (IDW) sampling, analysis, and disposal
• Collecting treatability study soil samples.
The objective of RI is to gather sufficient information on the nature and extent of the COPC in soils
and in the groundwater to determine if remediation will be required and to perform an FS on possible
remediation options.
A CLP laboratory, selected by the EPA, will be used for all sample analyses with the exception of
samples collected for any treatability study testing. Treatability study samples, if required, will be
analyzed by IT's Technology Applications Laboratory in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The objectives, sampling rationale, approximate locations, estimated number of samples, and analysis
for these tasks are described in detail in the project field sampling plan (FSP). It should be noted that
the exact sample locations and the total number of samples and analyses may change from those
described in the FSP, depending on actual field conditions. Critical samples will include alj|
environmental samples collected from source areas (upgradient, downgradient, and side gradient
locations) and all QC samples.
2.4 Quality Objectives and Criteria for Measurement Data
2.4.1 Data Quality Objectives DQOs are qualitative and quantitative statements derived from the resultant of each step of a process
that: (1) clarifies the study objective; (2) defines the most appropriate type of data to collect; (3)
determines the most appropriate conditions from which to collect the data; and (4) specifies tolerable
limits on decision errors that will be used as the basis for establishing the quantity and quality of data
needed to support the decision. The DQO process for this project is described in the September 1994
EPA document .Fma/ Guidance for the Data Quality Objectives Process (EPA QA/G-4), and the 1998
document Final Guidance for the Quality Assurance Project Plans (EPA QA/G-5). Much of the
following sections have been paraphrased or taken directly from these documents.
The DQO process is a strategic planning approach based on the scientific method designed to ensure
that the type, quantity, and quality of environmental data used in decision-making are appropriate fo |
the intended application. By using the DQO process, a decision-maker uses specific criteria for
determining when data are sufficient for site decisions. This provides a mechanism for decision-

makers to determine when enough data have been collected. Because the DQO process is based on
the scientific method, the legal defensibility of site decisions are improved by providing a complete
record of the decision process and the criteria used for arriving at all conclusions.
The DQO process consists of seven steps; the output from each step influences the choices that will
be made later in the process. Although it is a linear sequence of steps, the DQO process is iterative
in practice; the outputs from one step may lead to reconsideration of prior steps. This iteration is
encouraged to produce a more efficient data collection design. The seven steps of the DQO process
are as follows:
• Step 1: State the Problem - Concisely describe the problem to be studied. Review previous
investigation reports and existing information in order to develop an understanding of how
to define the problem.
• Step 2: Identify the Decision - Identify what questions the investigation will attempt to
resolve, and what action may result.
• Step 3: Identify the Inputs to the Decision - Identify the information that needs to be obtained
(analytical data results, field measurements) in order to resolve the decision statement.
• Step 4: Define the Study Boundaries - Specify the time periods and spatial area to which
decisions will apply. Determine when and where data will be collected.
• Step 5: Develop a Decision Rule - Define the statistical parameter of interest, specify the
action level, and integrate the previous DQO outputs into a single statement that describes the
logical basis for selecting alternative actions.
• Section 6: Specify Tolerable Limits on Decision Error - Define the decision maker's tolerable
decision error rates based on a consideration of the consequences of making an incorrect
decision.
• Step 7: Optimize the Design - Evaluate information from the previous steps and generate
alternative data collection designs. Select the most resource-effective design that meets the
DQOs.

2.4.2 DQO Step 1: State the Problem The first step in the DQO process is to identify and clearly state the problem. For this work effort,
the problem has been defined by the EPA Region 4 in the SOWs for the RI/FS of this site. The EPA
SOW for this site can be found in the site work plan. The object of the RI/FS at this site is to collect
data to determine the nature and extent of the COPC within the former orchard area for developed
and nondeveloped parcels, and also to collect the minimum amount of data necessary to support the
selection of an approach for site remediation and then to use this data in a well-supported record of
decision.
The RI/FS will be performed by Black &Veatch, with assistance from their team subcontractor, IT,
under work assignment No. 034-RICO-A4T9 with EPA Region 4. The EPA will provide comments
on the QAPP, FSP, and future investigation reports.
2.4.3 DQO Step 2: Identify the Decision The second step in the DQO process is to identify the questions that the investigations will attempt
to resolve and identify the alternative actions that may be necessary based on the outcome of the
investigations. In the DQO process, the combination of these elements is called the decision.
Based on a review of the problem defined in Section 2.2.1, the following principal questions have
been developed for these investigations:
• What are the levels of COPC at the Barber Orchard site?
• What is the vertical and horizontal nature and extent of the COPC?
• What are the current and future risks to human health and ecological receptors associated with
the COPC?
Based on the results of the RI/FS at the site, alternative actions may be necessary to solve the
problem. The following are alternative actions that may be necessary to answer the aforementioned
principal questions:

• Install additional monitoring wells to delineate the vertical and horizontal extent of
contamination in the groundwater.
• Collect groundwater and subsurface soil samples from additionally installed well boreholes
to delineate the extent of contamination.
• Analyze samples for additional parameters based on analytical results of the initial
background sampling.
The principal questions and the alternative actions are combined into a decision statement that
expresses a choice among alternative actions. The following decision statements have been drafted
for these investigations:
• Determine whether contamination is migrating vertically and/or horizontally from on-site
sources.
• Determine whether the vertical and horizontal extent of groundwater contamination in the is
delineated during the initial investigation and requires the installation of additional monitoring
wells.
• Determine whether the nature of contamination has been determined and requires additional
sampling and/or analyses.
• Determine whether the detected concentrations exceed state and federal regulatory standards.
• Determine whether any natural attenuation is occurring at a rate that will effectively
remediate the site without subsequent remedial action.
2.4.4 DQO Step 3: Identify the Inputs to the Decision The third step in the DQO process is to identify the information needed to support the decision
(known as decision inputs), and specify which inputs require new environmental data. Action levels,
applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARAR), and preliminary remediation goals

required inputs to the decision:
• Identify the informational inputs needed to resolve the decision.
• Identify sources for each informational input and list those inputs that are obtained through
environmental measurements.
• Determine the basis for establishing contaminant-specific action levels.
• Identify potential sampling techniques and appropriate analytical methods.
The following information is required to make the decisions for the RI for the site:
• Historical records of chemical and physical deposition
• Potential human and environmental targets that may be affected from site contamination
• Environmental sampling data from subsurface soil and groundwater in conjunction with past _
environmental sampling data; the level of this data should be of sufficient quality to support^B
a risk assessment, an evaluation of alternatives, and engineering design
• Site-specific geophysical data.
The criteria on which the decisions will be made are as follows:
The cleanup criteria for groundwater shall be the more stringent of the North Carolina state
regulations (from the 2000 document from North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources, Division of Waste Management Hazardous Waste Section, Guidelines/or
Determining Soil and Groundwater Cleanup Levels at RCRA Hazardous Waste Sites, revised
draft, September) and federal maximum contaminant levels. In the absence of these regulated
concentrations, the criteria shall be two times the concentration identified in the background
sample or any quantifiable concentration if the contaminant was not detected in the
background sample. In the absence of an adequate background sample, the criteria shall be
the site-specific risk assessment. Remedial efforts will focus on elimination of the source
contaminants so natural attentuation can provide for the residual contamination reduction to
actual target cleanup levels.

2.4.5 DQO Step 4: Define the Study Boundaries The fourth step in the DQO process is to specify the spatial and temporal limits of the environmental media that the data must represent to support the decisions. For environmental samples to be representative of the domain or area for which the decisions will be made, the boundaries of the study must be precisely defined. The purpose of this step is to clearly define the set of circumstances (boundaries) that will be covered by the decisions. These include:
• Spatial boundaries that define what should be investigated and where the samples should be collected
• Temporal boundaries that describe when samples should be collected and what time frame the study data should represent.
Practical constraints which could interfere with sampling are also identified within this step of the DQO process. A practical constraint is any hindrance or obstacle that may interfere with the full implementation of the study design.
2.4.5.1 Spatial Boundaries of the Study. Typically, there are four actions that must be considered when establishing the spatial boundaries of the study. They are:
• Define the domain or geographic area within which all decisions must apply. The domain must be distinctively marked (i.e., volume, property boundaries, operable units).
• Specify the characteristics that define the domain of interest. These include contaminant type and media of concern. When defining the media of concern, it is useful to consider what medium was originally contaminated, and what inter-media transfer of contamination has likely occurred (i.e., leaching, transport, etc.).
• When appropriate, divide the domain into units which have relatively homogeneous characteristics. This is accomplished by using existing information. Units of the domain may include regions exhibiting similar concentrations, similar depth of contamination, similar process operations, or similar media structure (i.e., geologic strata).
• Define the scale of decision-making. This is the smallest domain characteristic (such as area, volume, time frame, media, etc.) for which the project team wishes to control decision errors.

•
The scale of decision making is generally based on: (1) the risk that exposure presents to
targets; (2) technological considerations; and (3) other project specific considerations (i.e.,
historical use).
Subsurface soil and groundwater will be sampled within the geographic boundaries of the site, and
in the vicinity of the site where contaminants that may be attributable to the site have been detected
as determined from previous investigation reports, and immediately beyond and/or below previous
locations to determine the vertical and horizontal extent of site-attributable contamination.
Subsurface soil is defined as the interval of greater than 1 foot below surface level. The characteristic
that defines the domain of interest is any contaminant concentration in any environmental media
sample that is common to contaminants historically used or detected at the site. The site shall be
subdivided into soil and groundwater units upon completion of the investigation, if necessary. The
scale of decision-making shall be the entire site and any detected plumes in the vicinity of the site that
may be attributable to the site.
2.4.5.2 Temporal Boundaries of the Study. Typically there are two factors to consider when''
establishing the temporal boundaries of the study. These factors include:
• The time frame over which the data will apply. This is the most appropriate time frame that
the decision must reflect.
• When the data should be collected. Conditions that may affect this include seasonal
fluctuations and meteorological conditions.
Because the RI is intended to provide the qualitative and quantitative health risk posed by the site,
the time frame that the decision must reflect will be the lifetime exposure to COPC. Because COPC
have been previously identified at the site, the RI sampling efforts shall occur as soon as is feasible.
Constituent concentrations may have varied between the time of the previous investigations and the
RI sampling efforts; therefore, analytical results which will be compared as a basis for constituent
verification must be evaluated with this in consideration. The potential variation of constituents with
time is not significant in the short duration to warrant an accelerated sampling effort. If it is necessary
to collect additional samples at the site, the data collection shall be performed within a reasonable^^
time period after the initial sampling efforts for the RI. ^ ^
3 2 0016
Sampling and Analysis Plan, Volume 2 - Quality Assurance Project Plan Section: 2.0 EPA Contract No. 68-W-99-043 Revision No. 0 Work Assignment 034-RICO-A4T9 Revision Date: April 27, 2001 RI/FS Barber Orchard Site Page 15 of 24
All groundwater data to be collected in association with the site shall be collected on the same day
when feasible for like hydraulic conductivity unit depths, to provide a sound basis for comparison.
Because diurnal variations of constituent concentrations are expected to be minimal, samples may be
collected at any time of day. Meteorological conditions will be monitored prior to and during the
investigation to ensure that adverse conditions will not effect the time constraints for sampling
objectives.
Proposed time frames for the field investigative studies are detailed in the project schedule submitted
with the work plan for the RI/FS. Adjustments to these time frames may have been made to include
additional regulatory review times and comments responses. These delays will continue to be
possible. The proposed field investigation studies detailed in the FSP are scheduled to begin in June
2001 and conclude in September 2001.
2.4.6 DQO Step 5: Develop a Decision Rule The fifth step in the DQO process is to develop a logical "if... then..." statement that defines the
conditions that would cause the decision maker to choose among alternative actions. The purpose
of this step is to clearly define objective criteria by which decisions can be made. Activities necessary
for the development of a decision rule are:
• Specify the statistical parameter that characterizes the domain of interest. The statistical
parameter is a descriptive measure such as mean, median, proportion, or maximum.
• Specify the action level for the decision. The action level is typically a contaminant
concentration level that sets the limit at which further action is warranted.
• Combine actions from previous steps in the DQO process with those listed to develop a
decision rule.
If the maximum concentration from any sample location exceeds the criteria listed in Section 2.4.4,
then further assessment may be recommended. In addition, if the risk assessment warrants, and if the
vertical and horizontal extent of contamination has been sufficiently defined, then the potential
remedial options will be recommended. If no contaminant concentrations exceed the criteria listed
in Section 2.4.4, no further action will be recommended.

2.4.7 DQO Step 6: Specify Tolerable Limits on Decision Errors The purpose of this sixth step of the DQO process is to specify the decision-maker's acceptable limits
on decision errors which are used to establish appropriate performance goals for limiting uncertainty
in the data. Decision-makers are intrinsically interested in the true status of some feature of a site.
However, because measurement data can only estimate this status, decisions that are based on
measurement data may possess some error (decision error). Therefore, the goal is to design a
sampling plan that limits the probability of making a decision error to a level that is acceptable. In
general, reducing decision errors increases costs. The decision-maker must balance the desire to limit
decision errors to acceptable levels with the cost of reducing decision errors.
There are two reasons why the decision-maker cannot know the true value of a domain parameter,
including:
• The domain or population of interest almost always varies over time and space. Limited
sampling will miss some features of this natural variation because it is usually impossible on
impractical to measure every point or to measure over all time frames. Sampling error occurs
when sampling is unable to capture the complete scope of natural variability that exists in
the true state of the environment.
• A combination of random and systematic errors inevitably arise during the various steps of
the measurement process, such as sample collection, sample handling, sample preparation,
sample analysis, data reduction, and data handling. These errors are called measurement
errors because they are introduced during measurement process activities.
The combination of sampling error and measurement error is called total study error, which is directly
related to decision error. Because it is impossible to eliminate error in measurement data, basing
decisions on measurement data will lead to the possibility of making a decision error.
The probability of making decision errors can be controlled by adopting a scientific approach. The
scientific method employs a system of decision-making that controls decision errors through the use
of hypothesis testing. In hypothesis testing, the data are used to select between one condition of the
environment (the baseline condition or null hypothesis, H0) and the alternative condition ( the^B|
alternative hypothesis, HJ. For example, the decision-maker may decide that a site is contaminated^^
(the baseline condition) in the absence of strong evidence (study data) that indicates that the site is
3 2 0017
Sampling and Analysis Plan, Volume 2 - Quality Assurance Project Plan Section: 2.0 EPA Contract No. 68-W-99-043 Revision No. 0 Work Assignment 034-R1CO-A4T9 Revision Date: April 27, 2001 RI/FS Barber Orchard Site Page 17 of 24
clean (alternative hypothesis). Hypothesis testing places the greater weight of evidence on disproving
the null hypothesis or baseline condition. Therefore, the decision-maker can guard against making
the decision error that has the greatest undesirable consequence by setting the null hypothesis equal
to the condition that, if true, has the greatest consequence of decision error.
False Positive Error. A false positive error occurs when sampling data mislead the decision- maker
into believing that the burden of proof has been satisfied and that the null hypothesis (H0 or baseline
condition) should be rejected. Consider an example where the decision-maker presumes that
concentrations of contaminants of concern exceed the action level (i.e., the baseline condition or null
hypothesis is: concentrations of contaminants of concern exceed the action level). If the sampling
data lead the decision-maker to incorrectly conclude that the concentrations of contaminants of
concern do not exceed the action level when they actually do exceed the action level, then the
decision-maker would be making a false positive error.
False Negative Error. A false negative error occurs when the data mislead the decision maker into
wrongly concluding that the burden of proof has not been satisfied so that the null hypothesis (H0) is
not rejected when it should be. A false negative error in the previous example occurs when the data
lead the decision-maker to wrongly conclude that the site is contaminated when it truly is not.
The first step in establishing limits on decision errors is to determine the possible range of the
parameter of interest. The possible range of the parameter of interest should be established by
estimating its upper and lower bounds. This means defining the lowest (typically zero in
environmental studies) and highest concentrations at which the contaminant(s) is expected to exist
at the site. This will help focus the remaining activities of this step on only the relevant values of the
parameter. Historical data, including analytical data, should be used to define contaminant
concentrations if available.
The second step in establishing decision error limits is to define both types of decision errors and
identify the potential consequences of each. The action level specified in Section 3.4.5, should be
used to designate the areas above and below the action level as the range where the two types of
decision errors could occur. The process of defining the decision errors has four steps:
• Define both types of decision errors and establish which decision error has more severe
consequences near the action level. For instance, the threat of health effects from a
Sampling and Analysis Plan, Volume 2 - Quality Assurance Project Plan Section: 2 EPA Contract No. 68-W-99-043 Revision No. 0 Work Assignment 034-R1CO-A4T9 Revision Date: April 27, 2001 RI/FS Barber Orchard Site Page 18 of 24
contaminated hazardous waste site may be considered more serious than spending extra
resources to remediate the site. Therefore, a decision-maker may judge that the
consequences of incorrectly concluding that the concentrations of site-related contaminants
do not exceed the action level are more severe than the consequences of incorrectly
concluding that the concentrations of site-related contaminants exceed the action level.
• Establish the true state of nature for each decision error. In the previous example, from the
decision-maker's perspective, the true state of the site for the more severe decision error will
be that the concentrations of site-related contaminants exceed the action level. The true state
of nature for the less severe decision error is that the concentrations of site-related
contaminants do not exceed the action level.
• Define the true state of nature for the more severe decision error as the baseline condition or
null hypothesis (H0 = the site is contaminated), and define the true state of nature for the less^
severe decision error as the alternative hypothesis (Ha = the site is not contaminated). Sinc(
the burden of proof rests on the alternative hypothesis, the data must demonstrate enough
information to authoritatively reject the null hypothesis and conclude the alternative.
Therefore, by setting the null hypothesis equal to the true condition that exists when the more
severe decision error occurs, the decision-maker is guarding against making the more severe
decision error.
• Assign the terms "false positive" and "false negative" to the proper decision errors. A false
positive decision error corresponds to the more severe decision error and a false negative
decision error corresponds to the less severe decision error.
The potential consequences of decision errors at several points within the false positive and false
negative ranges should be defined and evaluated. For example, the consequences of a false positive
decision error when the true parameter value is merely 10 percent above the action level may be
minimal because it would cause only a moderate increase in the risk to human health. On the other
hand, the consequences of a false positive error when the true parameter is ten times the action level
may be severe because it could greatly increase the exposure risk to humans as well as cause severe
damage to a local ecosystem. In this case, decision-makers would want to have less control (tolera1
higher probabilities) of decision errors of relatively small magnitudes and would want to have more
control (tolerate small probabilities) of decision errors of relatively large magnitudes.

Sampling and Analysis Plan, Volume 2 - Quality Assurance Project Plan Section: 2.0 EPA Contract No. 68-W-99-043 Revision No. 0 Work Assignment 034-RJCO-A4T9 Revision Date: April 27, 2001 Rl/FS Barber Orchard Site Page 19 of 24
The third step in developing decision error rates is to specify a range of possible parameter values
where the consequences of decision errors are relatively minor. The acceptable decision error region
is a range of points (bounded on one side by the action level) where the consequences of a false
negative decision error are relatively minor. It is not generally feasible or reasonable to control the
false negative decision error rate to low levels because the resources that would be required would
exceed the expected costs of the consequences of making that decision error. In order to determine
with confidence whether the true value of the parameter is above or below the action level (depending
on the more severe decision error), the site manager would need to collect a large amount of data,
increase the precision of the measurements, or both.
The fourth step in establishing decision error limits is to assign probability values to points above and
below the action level that reflect the acceptable probability for the occurrence of decision errors. The
most stringent limits on decision errors that are typically encountered for environmental data are 0.01
(one percent) for both the false positive and false negative decision errors. The most frequent reasons
for setting limits greater than 0.01 are that the consequences of the decision errors may not be severe
enough to warrant setting decision error rates that are this stringent. If the decision is made to relax
the decision error rates from 0.01 for false positive and false negative decision errors, the scoping
team should document the rationale for setting the decision error rate. This rationale may include
potential impacts on cost, human health, and ecological conditions.
The last step in establishing decision error limits is to check the limits on decision errors to ensure
that they accurately reflect the decision-maker's concerns about the relative consequences for each
type of decision error. The acceptable limits on decision errors should be smallest (i.e., have the
lowest probability of error) for cases where the decision-maker has greatest concern for decision
errors. This means that if one type of error is more serious than another, then its acceptable limits
should be smaller (more restrictive). In addition, the limits on decision errors are usually largest (high
probability of error can be tolerated) near the action level, since the consequences of decision errors
are generally less severe as the action level is approached.
2.4.7.1 The First Decision for the Barber Orchard Site
Null Hypothesis (H0) = One or more site contaminant concentrations are greater than or equal
to the criteria listed in Section 2.4.4.

Alternate Hypothesis (HJ = All site contaminant concentrations are below the criteria listed in Section 2.4.4.
The false positive decision error will occur if the decision-maker decides, based on sampling data, that the site is not contaminated, when in truth, some portion of the site contains concentrations that exceed the criteria specified in Section 2.4.4.
The false negative decision error will occur if the decision-maker decides, based on sampling data, that some portion of the site is contaminated above the criteria specified in Section 2.4.4, when in truth, all concentrations are below the specified criteria.

2.4.8 DQO Step 7: Optimize the Design
The purpose of this final step in the DQO process is to identify the most resource-effective sampling
and analysis design for generating data during the RI that are expected to satisfy the DQOs. To
achieve this goal, it may be necessary to work through this step more than once after revisiting
previous steps of the DQO process. The following activities are required to optimize the design:
Review the results from the previous DQO process steps as well as existing information.
Develop general sampling and analysis design alternatives.
Verify that each design alternative satisfies the DQOs.
Select the most resource-effective design which achieves all DQOs.
Document the operational details and theoretical assumptions of the selected sampling and
analysis design.
It is believed that the quantity of environmental samples specified in the FSP and in this QAPP will
accomplish the goals of the RI and the goals of the decision error limits indicated herein. Further
modifications of the DQO decision error limits may be proposed pending the review of additional
information as it is made available. Such a change would necessitate corresponding changes in the
FSP and in this document to accommodate the required additional environmental data collection.
2.4.9 Measurement Performance Criteria
The measurement performance criteria are checked on several levels:
Built-in QC standards
Senior review
• Management controls.
The analytical data is given specific QC standards by which it must abide. If these standards are not
met, the data is suitably qualified. The bench chemist and the laboratory's QA manager check the
analytical data and QC results.
All documents that pertain to the quality standards of the project are drafted by and reviewed
internally by IT staff with relevant technical experience. While performing field sampling
activities, the field site supervisor and the site QA officer will supervise activities to assess if standard
operating procedures (SOP) are being followed.

Data generated from the described tasks will be used to evaluate the extent and level of the
contamination and to identify or select remediation alternatives. Project-specific quality objectives
are listed in Appendix A, Tables A-l through A-3. These include the quantitation, project action,
accuracy, precision, and completeness limits by which the data will be evaluated.
2.5 Special Training Requirements/Certification The purpose of this section is to ensure that any specialized training or certification requirements
necessary to the project are known and that the procedures are described in sufficient detail to ensure
that specific training skills and certifications can be verified, documented, and updated. This section
will summarize training requirements for Black & Veatch personnel and their subcontractors, more
specifically, health and safety training requirements. Site-specific health and safety plans will be
submitted to EPA Region 4 to meet planning document requirements specified in the SOW for the
Barber Orchard RI/FS.
All personnel (Black & Veatch and their subcontractors) who will engage in hazardous waste
operations at the Site must present to the Site Safety Coordinator (SSC) a certificate of completion
for an initial 40-hour hazardous waste operations training course or the most recent
certificate of completion for an 8-hour refresher course. The course must have been completed within
the 12 months of the individual being on site performing hazardous waste operations. The training
must comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations found in Title
29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.120(e). The certification must be presented to the SSC
before site activities begin. All personnel must complete a minimum of 3 days of on-the-job training
under the direct supervision of a qualified SSC or site supervisor before they are qualified to work
at a hazardous waste site unsupervised.
Consistent with 29 CFR 1910.120 paragraph (e)(4), individuals serving in a supervisory role, such
as the field team leader or SSC, require an additional 8 hours of training. A SSC qualified at a given
level of protection is also qualified as a SSC at a lower level of protection.
At least one person on site will be trained and currently certified in first aid and adult
cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

All subcontractor personnel who engage in hazardous waste operations must present, to the SSC,
certification of completion, within the 12 months prior to the beginning of site activities, a
comprehensive medical monitoring examination. The examination must comply with OSHA
regulation found at 29CFR 1910.120 et. seq. The certification must be signed by a medical doctor
and indicate any work limitations placed on the individual. The certification also must specify that
the individual is capable of working while wearing respiratory protective equipment. The
certification must be presented before field activities begin.
All project team members have been chosen with the necessary experience, technical skills, and
licenses to perform required EPA project tasks. No additional special training or certification should
be required for this project. Subcontractors chosen to complete tasks such as drilling and laboratory
analysis will meet project-specific requirements and the specifications of the EPA and the State of
North Carolina.
2.6 Documentation and Records
2.6.1 Field Sampling Documentation Field team members will keep a daily record of significant events, observations, and measurements
during sampling. The required contents of the field logbook are specified in the FSP. A field logbook
will be initiated at the start of the first on-site activity and maintained to record on-site activities
during all sampling events. The field logbook will be supplemented by sampling analytical request
(AR) or COC sheets, sample collection logs, and/or notes recorded onto site maps of adjoining
properties. Appendix B contains examples of field forms and logs that may be required for
documentation purposes. All documents generated during the field effort are controlled documents
that become part of the project file.
2.6.2 Sample Identification System Unique sample identification numbers (ID) will be assigned to samples collected to establish database
integrity using the sample ID development procedure in the FSP. Unique sample IDs are used to
prevent sample number duplication in the database. A record of the unique sample ID and the
corresponding sample location, time, and date will be kept in the field notebook and on field data
sheets. The field analysis data are recorded in bound field logbooks or recorded on data sheets along
with sample identity information while in the custody of the sampling team. The sample labels and

AR/COC sheets will list the unique sample ID as well as the appropriate sample location number,
date, time, samplers, and other relevant information.
2.6.3 Laboratory Records Laboratory records that are to be sent to SESD for data qualification are described in Exhibit H of the
CLP SOWs for Organic and Inorganic Analysis. Standard turnaround times will be requested for
sample analysis.
2.6.4 Project Record Maintenance and Storage Project records will be stored and maintained in a secure manner by both Black & Veatch and IT until
the end of the project. Each project team member is responsible for filing all project information or
providing it to the administrative assistant familiar with the project filing system. Individual team
members may maintain separate files or notebooks for individual tasks but must provide such files
to the project file room upon completion of each task.
The general project file categories are as follows:
Correspondence
Nonlaboratory project invoices and approvals by vendor
Original unbound reports
Nonlaboratory requests for proposals, bids, contracts, SOWs
Field data
Data evaluation and calculations
Site reports from others
Photographs
Insurance documentation
Laboratory analytical data and associated documents/memos
Regulatory submittals, licensing, and permitting applications
Site and reference material
Health and safety plans
Figures and drawings.
A project-specific index of file contents is kept with the project files at all times. Upon termination^^
of the project, all records (field records, laboratory records, etc.) will be archive and submitted to EPA
Region 4.

3.0 MEASUREMENT DATA ACQUISITION
This section describes the procedures for collecting, handling, measuring, acquiring, and managing
data to be performed in support of the RI/FS. It addresses the following aspects of measurement and
data acquisition:
• Sampling process design
• Sampling method requirements
• Sample handling and custody requirements
• Laboratory analytical methods requirements
• Laboratory QC requirements
• Field instrument and equipment testing, inspection, and maintenance requirements.
• Field and laboratory instrument calibration and frequency
• Inspection and acceptance requirements for supplies and consumables
• Data acquisition requirements
• Data management.
3.1 Sampling Process Design and Rationale The FSP provides the sampling and analysis requirements for this project. SOPs for each sampling
method are referenced in the FSP or attached to the FSP. The following media may be sampled and
analyzed as part of this project:
• Soils, including borings and IDW samples
• Surfacewater and sediment samples
• Water, including groundwater and purge water
• Other miscellaneous disposables (i.e., sampling personal protective equipment).
The planned sampling locations, frequencies, rationale for selection, and analytical parameters for
each location are detailed in the FSP. It should be noted that the exact sample locations and the total
number of samples might change from those described in the work plan, depending on field
conditions encountered. The specific contaminants at the site are metals and chlorinated pesticides,
but other analyses, including natural attenuation parameters, may be required for this effort.

3.3.2 Sample Custody and Shipping Requirements
3.3.2.1 Sample Custody. Sample custody procedures include the use of field logbooks, sample
labels, custody seals, and AR/COC forms. Each person involved with sample handling must be
trained in AR/COC procedures before the start of field operations. The AR/COC form must
accompany the samples during shipment from the field to the laboratory. An example of the
AR/COC can be found in Appendix B.
A sample is under custody when the following conditions exist:
• It is in one's actual possession.
• It is in one's view, after being in one's physical possession.
• It was in one's physical possession and that person locked it up to prevent tampering.
• It is in a designated and identified secure area.
3.3.2.2 Sample Shipping and Chain of Custody. Proper sample handling, shipment, an
maintenance of an AR/COC are key components of building the documentation and support for data
that can be used to make project decisions. It is important that all sample handling and sample
AR/COC requirements are performed completely, accurately, and consistently.
A properly completed AR/COC form will accompany samples to the laboratory. The unique sample
IDs and descriptive identification information (date, time, etc.) will be listed on the AR/COC form.
When transferring possession of samples, the individuals relinquishing and receiving them will sign,
date, and note the time on the record. The AR/COC record documents the transfer of sample custody
from the sampler to the laboratory.
Each sample container will be secured with a custody seal. Samples will be properly packaged for
shipment and dispatched to the laboratory for analysis with a separate signed custody record enclosed
in each sample box or cooler. Samples will be shipped priority for overnight delivery. Hard plastic
ice chests or coolers with similar durability will be used for shipping samples. The coolers will be
lined with a containment layer, e.g. a plastic garbage bag, to provide additional protection against
leakage. An absorbent material, e.g. vermiculite, will be used when shipping liquid samples in
sufficient quantity to absorb liquids that may be released in the event of sample container breakagl
within the container. The samples must be sealed in individual plastic bags and cushioned, e.g., with
bubble wrap, within the sample box or cooler to prevent damage. Shipping containers will be closed

and secured with strapping tape and custody seals for shipment to the laboratory. The preferred
procedure includes use of custody seals attached to two sides of the cooler. The custody seals are to
be covered with clear plastic tape. The cooler is to be strapped shut with strapping tape in at least two
locations.
Each shipping container will be clearly marked with a sticker containing the originator's address.
When samples are relinquished to a shipping company for transport, the tracking number from the
shipping bill or receipt will be recorded on the AR/COC form.
Commercial carriers are not required to sign off on the custody form as long as the custody forms are
sealed inside the sample cooler and the custody seals remain intact. The AR/COC record identifying
the contents will accompany all shipments. The original record will accompany the shipment, and
the field copies will be retained by the sampler to accommodate sample tracking. The completed
AR/COC will be faxed to the analytical laboratory and the IT project chemist on the day of sample
collection. The AR/COC form will be used to answer questions from the analytical laboratory
regarding that day's sample shipment.
3.3.2.3 Laboratory Sample Custody. The laboratory's procedures for sample custody are
presented in the 1996 EPA CLP SOW Exhibit H for Multi-Media, Multi-Concentration Organic
Analytical Service-OLM04.2, for Low Concentration Organic Analytical Service-OLC02.1, and for
Multi-Media, Multi-concentration Inorganic Analytical Service-ILMO4.0.
3.4 Analytical Method and Quality Control Requirements Samples will be analyzed using EPA-approved methods or other recognized standard methods. The
principal source for analytical methods is the SW-846, Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Wastes.
Nominal reporting limits are shown in the Table A-1 in Appendix A along with precision and
accuracy goals. Table 3-1 contains the specific methods that are to be used along with the associated
extraction methods. The scope of the method and a summary of the analytical QA/QC are provided
in this document. The method QA/QC is provided in detail in the laboratory QA plan.
3.4.1 Analytical Sample Analysis Turnaround Samples will be analyzed on standard turnaround times (TAT) as dictated by the CLP laboratory
performing the analysis and listed in the FSP. Other analysis performed by the treatability laboratory

will also be on a standard TAT. If analytical results are to be expedited, the laboratories will be
contacted and the TAT will be noted on the AR/COC.
3.5 Quality Control Samples
3.5.1 Field and Laboratory Quality Control Samples The CLP laboratory has a QC program to assess the reliability and validity of the analyses being
performed. The purpose and creation of QC samples is discussed in the FSP and summarized in the
following text. Table 3-2 outlines frequency of the QC samples to be collected. This information is
also noted in the FSP. EPA spikes may be required with each shipment. If required, these samples
will come from the EPA QA laboratory and will be shipped to the CLP laboratory as field samples.
Field blanks will not be required on this project.
Trip blanks are used to detect volatile organic compound (VOC) contamination during sample
shipping and handling. Trip blanks for water samples will consist of a certified clean sample vi^^fc
filled with contaminant-free laboratory water (e.g. HPL grade). The vials will contain no air bubbles.
Trip blanks for soil samples will consist of a sample jar of an analyte free solid matrix. Soil TBs will
be purchased from an approved source with documentation certifying the analyte free matrix. One
trip blank sample will be sent for each day VOC samples are shipped to the laboratory, in each cooler
containing VOC samples.

Temperature blanks will be required in each cooler in order to monitor the temperature of the samples
upon receipt at the analytical laboratory. Thie temperature blank container.will be labeled as
"Temperature Blank", however, it will not receive a CLP traffic report number nor should it be
included on the traffic report form. Tap water will be used for the temperataej>lank. Sample matrix
will not be used. The temperature blank will be coljectedihi a small, e.g. 50 to 100 milliliter, glass
or plastic container.
Equipment rinsate blanks are samples of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Type II
water passed through and over the surface of decontaminated sampling equipment. The rinse water
is collected in sample bottles, preserved, and handled in the same manner as the field samples.
Equipment rinse (ER) blanks are used to monitor effectiveness of the decontamination process. The
typical frequency for ER blanks is one per ten field samples, or 10 percent. Typically, if more than
one type of equipment is used to collect samples for a particular matrix, an equipment rinsate blank
is collected and submitted for each representative group of equipment. Typically, equipment rinsate
blanks are analyzed for the same analytes as the corresponding samples.
Duplicate or "blind" field samples are collected to monitor the precision of the field sampling and
analytical process. The identity of the duplicate samples is not noted on the laboratory AR/COC
form. The site supervisor will select one of every twenty sample locations for collection of a field
duplicate sample. The identity of the duplicate samples will be recorded in the field-sampling
logbook. Field duplicate samples are chosen from locations that are expected to have higher levels
of contamination.
Matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD) samples are collected to measure the precision
and accuracy of the field sampling and laboratory analysis. One matrix spike and one matrix spike
duplicate sample pair will be collected for at least every 20 samples sent to the off-site laboratory.
MS/MSD samples will be chosen from locations expected to have lower levels of contamination.
Quality control blanks, i.e. source material samples, will be collected and analyzed from all source
materials used in such a manner as to make contact with any environmental media and/or sampling
equipment. For example, a source water sample from supply water, for the^decontaminatipn of
sampling equipment will be collected. A source water sample from the supply water for the drilling
operations will be collected. A source sample from both bentonite pellets and the sand to be used for
the well filter pack will be collected. Others will be collected as needed to determine the constituents,

if any, and at what concentrations may be introduced into environmental samples by materials of construction and/or operational equipment. These quality control blanks will be analyzed for the same parameters as the environmental samples for which they are quality control.
It is anticipated that the EIA will provide spiked samples to be sent to the contract laboratory. These samples will be submitted "blind" to the lab and the results used to measure analytical performance.
3.5.2 Field Corrective Action Any project team member may initiate a field corrective action 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.
Corrective actions include correcting AR/COC forms and problems associated with sample collection, packaging, shipping, and field record keeping; or additional training in sampling and analysis Additional approaches may include resampling or evaluating and amending sampling procedures. The site QA/QC officer will summarize the problem, establish possible causes, and designate the person responsible for a corrective action. Additionally, the site QA/QC officer will verify that the initial action has been taken and follow-up at a later date to verify that the problem has been resolved.
3.6 Field Instrument Requirements The analytical and health and safety screening instruments that may be used in the field during the RI/FS and RD investigations are as follows:
Photoionization detector (PID) Organic vapor analyzer (OVA) Flame Ionization Detector (FID) Oxygen/lower explosive limit (02/LEL) meter Temperature, specific conductance, and pH meter Turbidity meter Water level indicator Reduction-oxidation potential meter
Dissolved oxygen meter Dust/Particulate monitoring equipment.

The instruments will be calibrated according to manufacturers' specifications before and after each
field use, and as otherwise deemed necessary. Manufacturers' specifications will be available on site.
Instruments will be calibrated, at a minimum, each day prior to field use. Daily calibration
procedures will be recorded in the field logbook, including the following information:
Instrument name and serial number
Date and time of calibration
Responses to battery check, alarm, and instrument use
Calibration gas used and concentration
Initials of person performing calibration.
The following section presents a description of commonly used field screening equipment,
procedures for use, calibration procedures and frequency, and any applicable inspection and
maintenance procedures.
3.6.1 Foxboro OVA Mode/128
The Foxboro/OVA 128 is a type of FID. The OVA is a general screening instrument used to detect
the presence of most organic vapors. The OVA measures gases and vapors by responding to an
unknown sample correlated to a gas of known composition to which the instrument is calibrated.
The Foxboro OVA Model 128 is calibrated in the following manner:
Inspect the instrument for cracks, and check calibration.
Connect the probe/readout assembly to the unit.
Connect the probe extension to the probe assembly; check for tight seal.
Place INSTR/BATT switch to "test" position; verify that the battery is charged.
Place INSTR/BATT switch to the "on" position; allow warm-up of 5 minutes.
Turn the PUMP SWITCH on.

Place CALIBRATE SWITCH to "x 10" mode.
• Connect gas regulator to a cylinder of 95 ppm methane-in-air calibration gas and observe that the pressure is above 50 per square inch gauge (psig).
• Attach tubing with tee to gas regulator and to end of close area sample.
• Open gas regulator valve fully. Observe meter reading after approximately 1 to 2 minutes. If the reading is 95 ppm, close the regulator valve, disconnect the tubing from the gas regulator and close area sampler, and removal the regulator from the gas cylinder. If the reading is not 95 ppm, adjust the potentiometer labeled R32 (located within the instrument housing in the gray circuit block on back of the unit) to obtain 95 ppm.
Close the H2 SUPPLY VALVE, move PUMP SWITCH to off, and adjust CALIBRATE ADJUST knob to 4 ppm. ^ ^
• Move the calibrate switch to xl and observe meter. If the meter moves to 4 ppm, move the calibrate switch to xlO and adjust meter needle to 4 ppm. If the meter does not move to 4 ppm, adjust potentiometer labeled R31 to obtain a reading of 4 ppm.
• Move calibrate switch to xlOO and observe meter. If needle moves to 40 ppm, then instrument is ready for use. If needle does not move to 40 ppm, adjust potentiometer labeled R33 to obtain reading of 40 ppm.
The Foxboro OVA Model 128 is operated in the following manner:
• Open hydrogen TANK VALVE (observe pressure of approximately 150 psi for each hour of intended operation).
• Open hydrogen SUPPLY VALVE (observe pressure of 8 to 12 psi).
Wait approximately 1-minute; depress IGNITE BUTTON for a few seconds (and no more than 5-seconds) until flame ignites; observe "kick" of meter needle; the instrument is now readily for use.

• Measure a volume of air for volatile organic vapors by placing the probe for about 3 to 6
seconds in the volume that is to be sampled.
Shutdown procedure of the OVA is:
Close the hydrogen TANK VALVE.
Close the hydrogen SUPPLY VALVE.
• Place INSTR switch to "off'.
• Wait 5-seconds, so that lines bleed; place PUMP switch to "off".
• The instrument may remain connected temporarily or be disconnected for packing and
shipment.
Preventive maintenance of the Foxboro OVA is conducted by the manufacturer at six to nine month
intervals. Other preventive maintenance measures include battery charging, cleaning of the
instrument, and factory servicing.
3.6.2 Oxygen/LEL Meter
02/LEL meters are used to determine the potential for the combustion or explosion of unknown
atmospheres. A typical 02/LEL meter determines the level of organic vapors and gases present in
an atmosphere as a percentage of the LEL or lower flammability limit by measuring the change in
electrical resistance in a Wheatstone bridge circuit. O/LEL meters also contain an 02 detector. The
oxygen detector is useful for determining the existence of atmospheres deficient in 02.
It is anticipated that the MSA Model 361 Combination Gas Alarm will be utilized during the field
investigation. Each unit will be placed on battery charge each night. Readings will be recorded in
percent 02 and percent LEL. The accuracy rating of this instrument is plus or minus 3 percent for
combustible gas and plus or minus 0.8 percent for 02.
The MSA Model 361 is calibrated in the following manner:

• Attach the flow control to the 75 percent pentane/15 percent 02 calibration gas tank.
• Connect the adapter hose to the flow control and open the flow control valve.
• Connect the adapter-hose fitting to the inlet of the instrument; within 30 seconds, the LEL
meter should stabilize and indicate between 47 percent and 55 percent. If the indication is
not in the correct range, remove the right end of the indicator and adjust the LEL SPAN
control to obtain 50 percent.
• Verify the oxygen reading between 13 percent and 17 percent.
• Disconnect the adapter-hose fitting from the instrument, close the flow control valve, and
remove the flow control from the calibration gas tank.
• Attach the flow control to the 10 ppm hydrogen sulfide calibration gas tank (40 ppm gas may{
be use); open the flow control valve.
• Re-connect the adapter-hose fitting to the inlet of the instrument; after approximately 1
minute, the TOX readout should stabilize and indicate between 7 to 13 ppm (35 to 45 ppm
for 40 ppm gas). If the indication is not in the correct range, remove the right end of the
indicator and adjust the TOX SPAN control to obtain 10 ppm (or 40 ppm).
• Disconnect the adapter-hose fitting from the instrument and the gas tank, close the flow
control valve, and remove the adapter-hose from the flow control.
3.6.3 Water Temperature, pH, and Conductivity Meter It is anticipated that a HyD AC/Cambridge Model 910 brand conductance, pH, and temperature meter
will be utilized during field activities. Each unit will be checked before each day's activities for
mechanical or electrical failures, weak batteries, fouled or cracked electrodes, and dirty conductivity
cells.
3.6.3.1 Temperature. The HyDAC instrument will be field-checked and calibrated daily for,
temperature against a glass thermometer which has been initially calibrated against a National
Bureau of Standards (NBS) certified thermometer or one traceable to NBS certification. All
12
3 2 0027
Sampling and Analysis Plan, Volume 2 - Quality Assurance Project Plan Section: 3 EPA Contract No. 68-W-99-043 Revision No. 1 Work Assignments 034-RICO0A4T9 Revision Date: April 27, 2001 RJ/FS Barber Orchard Site Page 13 of 19
temperature data will be recorded to the nearest 1 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). Cross-checks and dupli
cate field analyses should agree within plus or minus 1°F. The HyDAC instrument has an accuracy
rating of plus or minus 2°F.
To obtain a temperature reading, fill the instrument cup with aqueous sample. Depress the reading
button and record the stabilized temperature. If the temperature does not stabilize, rinse the cup with
the aqueous sample until the temperature stabilizes.
3.6.3.2 Specific Conductance. Before use in the field, the following procedures will be used to
calibrate conductance on the HyDAC instrument:
• Remove the black plug on the bottom-right of the instrument, revealing the adjustment potentiometer screw.
• Add standard conductance solution (provided by manufacturer) to the cup, discard, and refill.
Repeat until the digital readout repeats the same reading twice in a row.
• Adjust the potentiometer until the digital display indicates the known value of conductance.
Turning the screw clockwise decreases the reading and counter-clockwise increases the
reading.
Specific conductance results will be expressed in microhms per centimeter (|imhos/cm). Results
will be reported to the nearest ten units for readings under 1,000 |imhos/cm and the nearest 100 units
for readings over 1,000 |imhos/cm. Duplicate field analyses should agree within plus or minus 10
percent. The HyDAC instrument has an accuracy rating of plus or minus 2 percent full scale at 77°F.
To obtain a specific conductance reading, adjust the conductance-temperature dial to the recorded
temperature. Depress the reading button and record the specific conductance in |imhos/cm.
3.6.3.3 pH. While in the field, the HyDAC instrument will be calibrated for pH daily before use
with two buffers bracketing the expected sample pH. The following procedures will be used to
calibrate pH:
• Place the pH electrode in the 7.0 buffer solution; adjust the ZERO potentiometer on the face of the instrument so that the digital display indicates 7.0.
13
Sampling and Analysis Plan, Volume 2 - Quality Assurance Project Plan Section: 3 J EPA Contract No. 68-W-99-043 Revision No. 1 Work Assignments 034-R1CO0A4T9 Revision Date: April 27, 2001 RI/FS Barber Orchard Site Page 14 of 19
• Rinse the electrode and place in the 4.0 or 10.0 buffer solution; adjust the SLOPE potentiometer on the face of the instrument so that the digital display indicated the value of the buffer chosen.
In case of an apparent pH misrepresentation, the electrode will be checked with pH 7.0 buffer and
re-calibrated to the closest reference buffer. Then the sample will be re-tested. Duplicate tests
should agree within 0.1 standard unit. Temperature resistant, combination electrodes will be
employed in conjunction with the meters. Litmus paper will be used only for determining pH ranges,
for determining approximate pH values, or for determining the pH of concentrated hazardous waste
samples which may damage the instrument. Readings will be reported to the nearest 0.01 standard
unit. The HyDAC instrument has an accuracy rating of plus or minus 0.1 standard unit at 77° F.
To obtain a pH value, insert the electrode into the aqueous sample, depress the reading button, and
record the pH value.
3.6.4 Water Turbidity It is anticipated that an HF Scientific Turbidity Meter will be utilized during field activities. The
accuracy rating of the turbidimeter is typically plus or minus 2 percent of the reading plus stray light
from 0 to 1,000 nelphometric turbidity unit (NTU). Instrument calibration will be conducted by the
equipment provider, and will be checked in the field before each use against a known standard.
Reported readings will be to the nearest NTU.
To field screen aqueous samples for turbidity, the meter is inspected and allowed to equilibrate to
ambient temperatures. The instrument is calibrated, and the sample cell is rinsed with deionized
water. The following procedure is used for collecting turbidity data:
• Rinse sample cell with deionized water, follow by rinsing with several volumes of sample water.
• Fill cell with sample water, activate testing switch, and obtain reading, switching to proper scale.
• Record sample reading and calibration readings in log book.

3.7 Inspection/Acceptance Requirements for Supplies and
Consumables All supplies and consumables that may directly or indirectly affect the quality of the project must be
clearly identified and documented by field personnel. Typical examples of supplies and consumables
include sample bottles, calibration gases, tubing, materials for decontamination activities, deionized
water, and potable water. For each item identified, field personnel shall document the inspection,
acceptance testing requirements, or specifications (i.e., concentration, purity, source of procurement),
in addition to any requirements for certificates of purity or analysis.
Acceptance criteria must be consistent with overall project technical and quality criteria. If special
requirements are needed for particular supplies or consumables, a clear agreement should be
established with the supplier (i.e., particular concentration of calibration gas).
Upon inspection, all supplies will be documented in a field log book by field personnel. This
logbook will contain the following information for each supply/consumable:
• Description of supply or consumable
• Date received
• Name/address of manufacturer or supplier
• Attached documentation (yes/no and description) (i.e., calibration checks, concentration verification for calibration gases)
• Expiration date (if applicable)
• Special precautions (if applicable)
• Meets acceptance criteria (yes/no)
• Comments (i.e., COC seal on box of sample containers)
• Name of responsible field personnel.

Sampling and Analysis Plan, Volume 2 - Quality Assurance Project Plan Section: 3 EPA Contract No. 68-W-99-043 Revision No. 1 Work Assignments 034-RJCO0A4T9 Revision Date: April 27,2001 Rl/FS Barber Orchard Site Page 16 of 19
3.8 Data Acquisition Requirements Data quality indicators (DQI) are qualitative and quantitative descriptors used to interpret the degree
of acceptability or utility of data. The principal DQIs are precision, accuracy (or bias),
representativeness, comparability, and completeness (PARCC). Of the five DQIs, precision and
accuracy are the quantitative measures, representativeness and comparability are the qualitative
measures, and completeness is a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures. Data
aquisition goals for the PARCCs parameters are presented in the tables in Appendix A.
3.8.1 Precision Precision is a measure of agreement among replicate measurements of the same property, under
prescribed similar conditions. Specifically, it is a quantitative measure of the degree of variability
of a group of measurements compared to the average value. Standard deviation, coefficient of
variation, range, and relative range are terms often used to express precision. Data precision will be
evaluated through the collection of split and duplicate samples (field and in-house) at a rate of 5 to
10 percent of samples collected at each site. Precision is determined in the laboratory by assessing
the relative percent difference for matrix spike duplicate analyses for organics and sample duplicates
for inorganics. Relative percent difference (RPD) is expressed as follows:
RPD = {[Vl-V2]/([Vl+V2]/2)} x 100
where:
RPD = relative percent difference
VI = primary sample value
V2 = duplicate sample value.
3.8.2 Accuracy Accuracy measures the bias of a measurement system. Sources of error introduced into the
measurement system may be accounted for by using field/trip blanks, spike samples, and analysis
by two different laboratories. Accuracy is assessed by measuring the percent recoveries of surrogate
spikes for organic analyses and by spike sample percent recoveries for inorganic analyses. For a
spike sample, known amounts of standard compounds are added to the sample. Spike recoveries are
calculated as follows:
Spike Recovery (percentage) = ([SSR-SR]/SA) x 100

Sampling and Analysis Plan, Volume 2 - Quality Assurance Project Plan Section: 3 EPA Contract No. 68-W-99-043 Revision No. 1 Work Assignments 034-RJCO0A4T9 Revision Date: April 27, 2001 RI/FS Barber Orchard Site Page 17 of 19
where
SSR = spike sample results
SR = unspiked sample results
SA = spike added from spiking mix.
The spike sample results are used to evaluate matrix effects and the accuracy of the samples
analyzed. Sources of error include the sampling process, field contamination, preservation, handling,
sample matrix, sample preparation, and analytical techniques. Field accuracy cannot be determined
for the project. However, it is more important that the criteria outlined in the sections of the work
plan concerning QA/QC sample descriptions, sampling and decontamination procedures, and field
documentation be followed so that the project objectives and DQOs are met.
3.8.3 Representativeness Representativeness expresses the degree to which sample data accurately and precisely represent a
characteristic of a population parameter at a sampling point, a process condition, or an environmental
condition. Representativeness is a qualitative term that is evaluated to determine whether in situ and
other field measurements are made and physical samples collected in such a manner that the resulting
data appropriately reflect the media and phenomenon measured or studied.
3.8.4 Comparability Comparability is a parameter used to express the confidence with which one set of data may be
compared with another. To achieve comparability in data sets, it is important that standard
techniques are used to collect and analyze representative samples and to report analytical results.
The presence of the following items enhances the comparability of data sets:
Two data sets should contain the same set of variables of interest.
Units in which these variables were measured should be convertible to a common metric.
Similar analytical and quality assurance procedures.
Similar time of measurements.
Similar measuring devices.
Rules for excluding certain types of observations from both samples.

3.8.5 Completeness
Completeness is a measure of the relative number of analytical data points that meet all the
acceptance criteria for accuracy, precision, and additional criterion required by the specific analytical
methods used. The goal for essentially all data uses is that sufficient amounts of valid data will be
generated. On-site measurement techniques can provide a high degree of completeness because
invalid measurements can normally be repeated relatively quickly and easily.
3.9 Data Management Data management is a process in which to track the data from its generation in the field and/or
laboratory to their final use and storage.
3.9.1 Data Recording The field operating records to be used in this investigation will document field procedures and any
measurements performed during the sampling effort; field operating records are presented in'
Attachment A of this QAPP.
Laboratory records that will be generated by the EPA SESD are discussed in the 1999 EPA CLP
SOW Exhibit H for Multi-Media, Multi-concentration Organic Analytical Service-OLM04.1, for
Low Concentration Organic Analytical Service-OLC02.1, and for Multi-Media, Multi-concentration
Inorganic Analytical Service-ILMO4.0.
3.9.2 Data Validation A data quality evaluation of the laboratory results and field data will be performed prior to their use
for conducting the evaluation of site contaminant distributions and magnitudes. Data quality
evaluations will be performed in accordance with the procedures outlined in the 1999 EPA CLP
Data Validation Standard Operating Procedures for Contract Laboratory Program Routine
Analytical Services, Revision 2.1. Field data log books and COC forms will be cross-checked
against each other and against the laboratory results to assess conformity of sample identification
numbers. Laboratory data will typically be reviewed for data qualifier flags and anomalous data
values. This information will be compared to results of duplicate and blank samples, and to
information on field conditions at the time of sample collection to qualify the sample analytical^B
results.

3.9.3 Data Transmittal Data will be transmitted from the laboratory to SESD to Black & Veatch via paper-copy data
packages and electronic files; the data will then be forwarded to IT for data reduction, analysis, and
report preparation. The standard laboratory data reports generated during this project will consist
of a transmittal memorandum and the following for organic and inorganic analyses:
• Cover page describing data qualifiers, sample project and case number, and a description of any technical problems encountered with the analyses.
• Sample data and extraction and analyses dates.
3.9.4 Data Transformation and Reduction Data received from the laboratory on electronic files will be used to create a database for the project.
This database will be used to extract data according to method and sample identifications to produce
data summary tables that will be presented in the RI/FS reports.
3.9.5 Data Analysis Environmental sample data will be compared to the applicable state and federal regulations as
presented in Section 2.4.4 of this QAPP.
3.9.6 Data Tracking Data tracking will be performed by the Black & Veatch project manager, IT site manager, and/or IT
task managers. Data will be tracked using a database that will include the date of collection, date
of transmittal to laboratory, and date of analysis. It is important that these dates are tracked to ensure
that sample holding times are not exceeded. Upon receipt of the data packages and electronic data
files from the laboratory, data will be maintained in a database where additional tracking information
can be added if needed.
3.9.7 Data Storage and Retrieval Field data (logbooks, well development forms, groundwater sample collection forms) and laboratory
data packages will be stored in hard copy in the Black & Veatch file storage room, as part of the
project file. In addition, laboratory data will be stored in a database format. This information will
be retained in the project file for at least 3 years following project completion and closeout.

4.0 ASSESSMENT/OVERSIGHT
4.1 Assessments and Response Actions
Assessment and oversight activities are performed to determine whether the QC measures identified
in the FSP and this QAPP are implemented and documented as required. The site manager and the
task managers will perform assessment and oversight to check conformance to plans. For example,
during a field review, the FSP may be checked to verify that a sample location has been correctly
sampled or that the field QC samples were collected at the appropriate frequency. Additional checks
may address the questions:
Is the FSP being adhered to?
• Is nonconformance being identified, resolved, and documented with a process or system?
• Are identified deficiencies being corrected?
Are sampling operations being performed as stated in the FSP?
Are the sample labels being filled out completely and accurately?
Are the AR7COC records complete and accurate?
• Are the field notebooks being filled out completely and accurately?
Are the documents generated during assessment activities being stored as described in the
QAPP?
The task manager can determine the need for a conformance check or assign it to another team
member. Assessment activities may include surveillance, inspection, peer review, management
system review, performance evaluation, and data quality assessment. The results of the assessment
and oversight activities will be reported to the site manager who will be responsible for ensuring that
the corrective action response is completed, verified, and documented.

5.0 DATA VALIDATION AND USABILITY
5.1 Data Review, Validation, and Verification Requirements The purpose of this section is to state the criteria for deciding the degree to which each data set has
met its quality specifications. Validation and verification procedures that shall be conducted during
the project are presented in this section. The conformance to these procedures will ensure the
representativeness and integrity of the samples from the time of sample collection through analysis
at the laboratory.
Upon completion of the sampling investigation, Black & Veatch will review all pertinent
documentation in order to determine to what degree each data item has met its quality specifications
as presented in this QAPP. The process of data verification will include the following:
• Sampling Design - Each sample shall be checked for conformity to the specifications,
including type and location.
• Sample Collection Procedures - Verify that sample collection procedures were performed in
accordance with procedures presented in this QAPP. If it is determined that a deviation
occurred in the collection procedure, the procedure shall, at a minimum, conform to the
E1SOPQAM (EPA, 1997); this deviation shall also be documented in the field logbook.
• Sample Handling - Verify that the sample was labeled, documented, and shipped properly
in accordance with procedures presented in this QAPP.
• Analytical Procedures - Verify that each sample was analyzed by the methods specified in
this QAPP.
• Quality Control - Verify that QC was performed during sample collection, handling, and
analysis. A QC report shall be included in the qualified laboratory data package received
from the SESD.
• Calibration - Verify that the calibration of field instruments were performed in accordance
with the manufacturer specifications presented in this QAPP.

5.2 Reconciliation with Data Quality Objectives Data quality assessment is the assessment phase that follows data validation and verification; data
quality assessment determines how well the validated data can support their intended uses. The data
quality assessment process for this investigation will be conducted in accordance with the procedures
outlined in the January 1999 EPA document Guidance for Data Quality Assessment (EPA QA/G-9).
The data quality assessment process involves fives steps that begin with a review of the planning
documentation and end with an answer to the questions posed during the planning phases of the
investigation. The five steps are summarized as follows:
• Review the DQOs and Sampling Design - This step involves reviewing the DQO outputs to
assure that they are still applicable. The sampling design and data collection documentation
shall be reviewed for consistency with the DQOs.
• Conduct a Preliminary Data Review - This step involves reviewing the QA reports,
calculating basic statistical analyses, and generating graphs of the data. This review shall be
used to learn about the structure of the data and to identify patterns, relationships, and/or
potential anomalies.
• Select the Statistical Test - The most appropriate procedure for summarizing and analyzing
the data, based on the review of the DQOs, the sampling design, and the preliminary data
review. The key assumptions must be identified in order for the statistical procedures to be
valid.
• Verify the Assumptions of the Statistical Test - Given the data, evaluate whether the
assumptions hold true, or whether departures are acceptable.
• Draw Conclusions from the Data - This step involves performing the calculations required
for the statistical test and documenting the interferences drawn as a result of these
calculations.
