EXHIBIT 7 

FINAL EFFLUENT POND SLUDGE SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN 

I. Overview 

To provide a comprehensive sludge sampling strategy for the Final Effluent Ponds (FEP), a twophase sampling plan is proposed. 

Phase 1 will collect sludge from four representative locations in each pond and analyze the 

samples for the comprehensive list of chemical compounds and other analytical parameters 

shown in Table 1. The analytical parameter list includes the 40 Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR) 264 Appendix IX (Groundwater Monitoring List) analytes for the metal, volatile organic 

compound (VOC), semivolatile organic compound, polychlorinated biphenyl, and dioxidfuran 

groups. Excluded from the analyte list because of process knowledge are the herbicide and 

pesticide groupings of compounds. Three additional compounds from the 40 CFR Appendix 

VIII (Hazardous Constituent List) are included based on process knowledge: dibutyl phthalate, 

acetone, and formaldehyde. Other analytical parameters will include total oil and grease, 

fluoride, cyanide, total sulfide, water content, corrosivity, and ignitability. 

The Phase 1 testing will include analyses for both (a) total concentrations and (b) toxicity 

characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP)-extractable concentrations. Past sampling of the 

sludges has shown them to have a high water content. Therefore, chemical concentrations will 

be reported on a wet-weight basis. Sludge water content will also be analyzed and reported. For 

total concentration analyses, the sludge samples will be prepared and analyzed as a solid matrix. 

In addition to the standard TCLP extraction, one Phase I sample from each pond will be 

subjected to extract testing at two additional pH values. The multiple pH extract testing will 

follow the recommendations in the EPA RCRA Delisting Program, Guidance Manual for the 

Petitioner, March 2000. Besides the standard extract described in TCLP Method 13 1 1, the 

sludge will be extracted at two other pH values and analyzed. The two alternate extract fluids 

will be: 

Distilled deionized (DI) water (pH 7) 

An alkaline solution of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate with a pH of 10. 

The Phase 1 samples for the multiple pH extractions will be collected from the sampling location 

in each pond that is anticipated to have the greatest sludge thickness. Exhibit 7-A presents an 

isopach map of pond sediment (i.e., sludge) thickness determined in a 1993 study of the FEPs. 

The TCLP extractions and the multiple pH extractions will be analyzed for all constituents 

except total sulfide, total oil and grease, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 

(RCRA) characteristics of ignitability and corrosivity. Note that the extracts will not be analyzed 

for pesticides and herbicides, which are excluded based on waste process knowledge. Also note 

that organics that are not detected in the total analyses, except those listed under 40 CFR 

826 1.24, do not need to be analyzed in the TCLP and multiple pH extracts. In Phase 1, however, 
BWXT - FEP Delisting Petition 11/8/04 

organics listed under 40 CFR 5261.24 (except for pesticides and herbicides) will be analyzed in 

the TCLP and multiple pH extractions, even if they are not detected in the total analyses. 

Phase 2 will collect samples from more numerous locations that are randomly selected according 

to the method recommended for surface impoundments in EPA RCRA Delisting Program, 

Guidance Manual for the Petitioner, March 2000. The Phase 2 samples will be analyzed for a 

subset of analytes to be determined by the Phase 1 results, as described in Section N.C. 

11. Sampling Locations 

The plan for sampling the FEP sludges is to collect a sufficient number of samples using an 

unbiased approach to characterize the material in the ponds. The sampling plan accounts for 

potential vertical and horizontal variability in the sludge. Horizontal variability is accounted for 

in the sampling strategy for each pond, as described later in this section. 

Vertical variability of the sludge will be addressed by taking a representative sample from the 

full thickness of sludge at each sampling location. Each location will be sampled by taking one 

or more cores through the entire thickness of sludge (multiple cores could be necessary to obtain 

sufficient sample material for all the analyses). VOCs will be analyzed on a subsample taken 

from the middle portion of a sludge core that will be frozen to maintain the integrity of the 

subsample. 

A. Phase 1 Sampling Locations 

To obtain a representative sampling of each pond for the Phase 1 analysis, a systematic sampling 

approach will be used. Each pond will be divided into four approximately equal surface areas 

(quadrants), and the approximate center of each quadrant will be sampled. Sample locations 

somewhat off the center of a quadrant may be selected to improve the efficiency of sample 

collection by avoiding areas where the sludge is less than 2 feet thick. The total number of 

sampled quadrants will be eight, four from FEPl and four from FEP2. For the sampling location 

in each quadrant, multiple cores of sludge will be collected, composited, and analyzed as an 

independent sample. 

Due to the large number of analytical parameters in Phase 1, it will be necessary to collect 

multiple cores at each location to obtain sufficient sludge material for all the analyses. After 

determining the thickness of the sludge in each quadrant, the sampling team will estimate the 

number of cores needed to obtain sufficient sample volume for the suite of analyses. When 

multiple cores are collected at a single sample location, one of the cores will be frozen, so that an 

aliquot for VOC analysis can be obtained from a cross-section at the middle of the core. The 

other cores from a location will not be frozen. For analytical samples other than VOCs, the 

materials from the several cores will be composited, as described in Section 1II.G. 
BWXT - FEP Delisting Petition 11/8/04 

B. Phase 2 Sampling Locations 

B.l Phase 2 Overview 

Sample locations for Phase 2 are selected using the random sampling selection process for 

surface impoundments as described in EPA RCRA Delisting Program, Guidance Manual for the 

Petitioner, March 2000. 

First, the total area of each pond is determined. Second, each pond is divided into equal 

sampling sections of less than or equal to 10,000 square feet (sq ft) (FEPI will be divided into 7 

sections and FEP2 into 6 sections). Third, each 10,000-sq-ft section is divided into a grid of one 

hundred squares or rectangles roughly 10 feet on each side (hereafter referred to as "squares"). 

Finally, a random number table is used to select four squares for sampling within each section. 

Each of the four "squares" within a section will be sampled for sludge, and the sludge cores from 

each section will be composited into a single sample for analysis (except for VOC analysis). The 

resulting number of samples for analysis will be 7 from FEPI and 6 from FEP2. 

If VOC analysis is necessary in Phase 2 (depending on the Phase 1 results), then a single sample 

for VOC analysis will be collected from the middle of a sludge core where the sludge is thickest. 

Therefore, only one core from each 10,000-sq-ft section will be frozen if VOCs are to be 

analyzed. 

If a composite of single cores from the four sampling "squares" in a section provides insufficient 

material for analyses, then multiple cores will be obtained from each sampling "square." The 

resulting composite must include the same number of cores from each sampling "square." 

For example, suppose that the sludge is so thin in a particular 10,000-sq-ft section, that single 

cores from each of the four sampling squares within that section would not provide enough 

sludge material for all the analyses. Perhaps two cores would have to be taken at each of the four 

sampling squares to obtain sufficient sample material. Then, one of the two cores from the 

location with the thickest sludge would be frozen and the middle portion sampled for VOCs. 

The unfrozen cores and the remainder of the frozen core would then be composited to collect a 

single sample for the other analytes. 

B.2 Determination of Surface Area 

FEPl has an irregular shape, and its surface area is 68,500 sq ft. FEP2 is rectangular, and its 

approximate surface area is 54,800 sq ft. Plan views and surface area calculations for the FEPs 

are presented in Exhibit 7-B. 

B.3 Determination of Sampling Sections 

FEP 1 is divided into seven (7) 10,000-sq-ft sections. Due to the irregular shape of FEP 1, the 

surface area of the sections varies from approximately 9,559 to 9,853 sq ft. The sampling 

section layout for FEP 1 is presented in Exhibit 7-C. 
BWXT - FEP Delisting Petition 11/8/04 

FEP2 is divided into six (6) equal sections, each having a surface area of 9,133 sq ft. The 

sampling section layout for FEP2 is presented in Exhibit 7-D. 

C. Determination of Phase 2 Sample Locations 

Each of the sampling sections is divided into 100 "squares" roughly 10 feet on a side. The 

 square^'^ are consecutively numbered from 1 to 100, beginning in the northwest corner of the 

section and proceeding east, then south. 

The random number table presented in EPA RCRA Delisting Program, Guidance Manual for the 

Petitioner, March 2000, is used to randomly select four squares for sampling within each section. 

The table is presented in Exhibit 7-E. Sampling points will be located in the centers of the 

squares. In some cases where the first set of four random numbers in the table would provide a 

poor representation of a particular section, a second set or a third set of random numbers that 

provides a better representation was chosen (FEP1 Sections 5 and 7, and FEP2 Section 2). 

Each of the sampling points selected using the random number table was assigned a 

unique coordinate address, measured in feet to the east and to the south from the northwest 

comer of the pond to the center of the square selected by the random number table (e.g., [E7, S3] 

is the point 7 feet east and 3 feet south of the northwest comer of FEP2, the center of square 01 

of Section 1 of FEP2, selected by the random number table for sampling). 

C.l FEPl 

FEPl has 28 Phase 2 sampling locations. The layout of 10,000-sq-ft sections and "squares" for 

FEPl is presented in Exhibit 7-C. Table 2 presents the coordinates for the Phase 2 sampling 

locations at FEP1. Exhibit 7-F shows the coordinate system, the locations of the individual 

sampling points, the boundaries of the sampling sections within which samples will be 

composited, and the approximate depth of sludge at FEP1. 

FEP2 has 24 Phase 2 sampling locations. The sampling location layout for FEP2 is presented in 

Exhibit 7-D. Table 3 presents the coordinates for the Phase 2 sampling locations at FEP2. 

Exhibit 7-G shows the coordinate system, the locations of the individual sampling points, the 

boundaries of the sampling sections within which samples will be composited, and the 

approximate depth of sludge at FEP2. 

111. Sample Collection - Phases 1 and 2 

The sludge sampling method described in this plan is similar to the method used for the 1993 

study. 
BWXT - FEP Delisting Petition 11/8/04 

A. Field Health and Safety 

The most recent revision to the site-specific health and safety plan prepared for the RCRA 

corrective action program at the Mt. Athos site will be used to guide implementation of the 

sample collection activity (Site-SpeciJic Health and Safety Plan for BWX Technologies, Inc, Mt. 

Athos Facility, Lynchburg, Virginia, August 6, 2003). Prior to the fieldwork, the health and 

safety plan will be reviewed to ensure that it addresses hazards particular to the work described 

in this sampling plan. 

B. Sampling Rig and Navigation Method 

A sampling rig will be fabricated from two boats positioned in opposing directions, stern to 

stern, clamped together using lumber and "C" clamps to giv a working length of approximately 

26 feet for the equipment and two sampling technicians. Ropes will be strung across the pond to 

pull the vessel to the designated sample locations. To guide positioning of the vessel, rows of pin 

flags or stakes spaced 50 feet apart (or other appropriate interval) may be set up along the sides 

of the pond. 

C. Sampling Equipment and Preparation 

Samples will be collected using new, clear polycarbonate tubes with a wall thickness of 118 inch. 

A typical tube diameter is 2-518 inches, but other diameters may be used. Plugs or other sealing 

devices will be used to prevent the sludge material from leaking out of the tube while being 

retrieved from the pond depth and transported to the sample process area. Aluminum foil caps 

secured with tape, cable ties or hose clamps may be used to seal the bottom end of the sample 

tube after each sample is collected. 

A new polycarbonate sampling tube, precleaned to food-grade standards and wrapped by the 

manufacturing company, will be used to collect each sample from the ponds. All sampling 

equipment used for sample homogenization and packing (e.g., stainless steel bowls, stainless 

steel mixing spoons, stainless steel holding tins, Pyrex ladles) will be decontaminated prior to 

use for each sample. Personnel will wear new latex gloves when handling samples or sampling 

equipment. Sampling equipment will be decontaminated as follows: 

DI water rinse 

~i~uinox@ soap solution wash 

DI water rinse, twice 

Dilute nitric acid solution rinse 

Final DI water rinse 

Air dried and wrapped in aluminum foil. 

If polycarbonate sampling tubes are reused for sample collection, the selected tube will be 

decontaminated using the above procedures. 
BWXT - FEP Delisting Petition 11/8/04 

D. Sample Handling Area 

A work area will be established to decontaminate the sampling equipment and to prepare and 

process the samples for transport to the laboratory. The area will include separate locations for 

sample collection, preparation and sample processing, decontamination, and sample and waste 

storage. All tubs, bowls, drums, and coolers used in processing the sludge sample material will 

be placed in secondary containment to prevent accidental spillage of material onto the ground. 

E. Disposal of Investigation-Derived Waste 

Investigation-derived wastes should be disposed of as follows: 

Pond Water After collecting sludge cores, pond water remaining in the 

sampling tubes should be drained through the weep hole located 

above the top of the sludge. The drained pond water should be 

stored in an appropriate container. Pond water fiom the 

container should then be disposed of back into the pond from 

which the tube was collected. 

Sludge Excess sampled sludge left over after the sample containers are 

filled should be disposed of back into the pond from which the 

sample was collected. 

Decontamination Water Water generated during decontamination processes should be 

stored in a labeled 55-gallon drum for treatment and disposal at 

the low-level radioactive (LLR) Waste Treatment Facility. 

PPE 

Trash 

After use, personal protective equipment (PPE) such as sample 

gloves or booties should be placed into a trash bag and labeled 

according to contents. Trash bags containing PPE waste will be 

screened for radiation and disposed of by BWX Technologies, 

Inc. (BWXT) personnel. 

Miscellaneous items (e.g., cardboard boxes, excess tape, string, 

paper) should be disposed of into a trash bag for regular waste 

disposal performed by BWXT personnel. 

F. Sampling Method 

Sludge samples will be collected as follows: 

1. At each sample location, the depth of water to the top of the sludge layer and the 

thickness of the sludge will be measured. Sludge thickness will be measured using a 

marked rod. Depth to the top of sludge will be measured using a marked rod with a disc 

or plate that will provide resistance at the sludge layer. After recording the depths, the 

length of polycarbonate sample tube necessary to collect the full column of sludge will be 
BWXT - FEP Delisting Petition 11/8/04 

selected. (However, if the sludge is less than one-half foot thick, the sludge will not be 

sampled.) The polycarbonate tubing will be pushed through the sludge layers and driven 

into the clay layer on the bottom of the pond using a mallet. The clay helps serve as a 

plug to keep the sample in the tube and as a visual confirmation that the base of the 

sludge layer is reached. 

To obtain sufficient sludge for all the analyses, multiple cores may be necessary at each 

sampling location. In Phase 2, where cores from four sampling squares will be 

composited, if multiple cores are needed, then the same number of cores will be collected 

from each of the sampling squares, and an equal number of tubes from each square will 

be composited (this is to ensure that the final composite is equally representative of the 

sludge from the four sample locations in the section). See Table 11 for sample volumes 

and quality control (QC) sample requirements in Phase 1. 

A cap or stopper will be inserted on the top end of the sample tube to serve as a seal to 

retain the sample as the tube is withdrawn from the bottom of the pond. The tube 

containing the sample will be lifted at an angle to reduce the downward pressure on the 

column. 

The sample tube will be held over the side of the boat, and the outside of the sample tube 

will be rinsed with DI water. The bottom end will be secured with an aluminum foil cap 

that will be secured with tape, cable ties or hose clamps to ensure that the sample will not 

fall out of the tube during handling. 

In Phase 1, sample tube designations will be assigned by the pond number, the quadrant 

designation, and the order in which the tubes are collected in that quadrant. In Phase 2, 

sample tube designations will include the pond number, the location coordinates, and, if 

multiple cores are necessary, the order in which tubes are collected at that coordinate 

location. 

After sample collection, the total sludge depth will be measured, including measurements 

of any stratification in the sample. The sludge will be described for color and any other 

visual characteristics, looking through the polycarbonate tube wall. The total sludge 

depth and description will be recorded on a Sample Collection Log. A hole will be 

drilled in the sample tube at the top of the sludge layer to allow the water column above 

the sample to weep out of the tube. The sludge description may be annotated the 

following day, after the frozen sludge core is extruded from the tube and the VOC sample 

is containerized, as the sludge may be more easily examined then. 

The sample tubes will be wrapped with new aluminum foil at the top end. 

The sample tubes will be moved to the sample handling area. Cores from which VOC 

samples are to be obtained will be frozen as described in the next section. 
BWXT - FEP Delisting Petition 11/8/04 

G. Sample Preparation 

The sample tubes from which VOC samples are to be taken will be frozen overnight as described 

later in this section. The next day, the frozen cores will be extruded (pushed) from the tubes. 

Sample aliquots for VOC analysis will be cored from the frozen sections using ~n~ore@ 

collection systems and placed in the foil packs provided for the Encores. 

The unfrozen cores from each Phase 1 sampling location (i.e., quadrant), or each Phase 2 10,000- 

sq-ft sampling section, will be combined and homogenized, and the homogenized material will 

be used for filling the remainder (other than VOC) of the sample containers. Composites must be 

made from an equal number of cores from each sampling location. 

The unfrozen cores to be composited will be placed in a new stainless steel pan or other suitable, 

cleaned metal container. The combined sludges will be homogenized within the container by 

stirring with a decontaminated utensil. Aliquots of the homogenized sludge will be placed in the 

appropriate sample bottles. 

Table 4 lists the sample containers, preservation requirements, and holding times for the various 

analytical parameters. 

The sample freezing system for VOC sample cores will consist of two (2) 55-gallon open-head 

drums, several pieces of 6-inch or 10-inch diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe cut in lengths 

slightly longer than the sample tubes and capped at one end, and dry ice pellets. The PVC pipe 

sections will be placed into a new 55-gallon drum, and the sample tubes will be lowered into the 

PVC pipes in groups of three (3) or fewer. Dry ice pellets will be poured into the spaces between 

the sample tubes until the PVC pipes are full and the sample tubes are completely covered. A 

second drum will be inverted and placed over the bottom drum. Both drums will be wrapped in 

plastic sheeting and taped to prevent air from coming into contact with the dry ice, which will 

help insulate the freezing system. The tubes will be left in the dry ice overnight to ensure that 

the cores will be frozen before being cut open in the middle. 

To prevent tampering while the samples are left overnight in the drums, custody tape seals will 

be placed across the overlapping edges of either the drums or the plastic sheeting. The custody 

seals will be initialed and dated by one of the sampling team members. 

The next day, the frozen sample tubes will be removed from the PVC pipes to process VOC 

samples for submission to the laboratory. The exterior surface of the frozen sample tube will be 

sprayed with DI water to slightly thaw the sample for removal from the tube. 

As soon as the sludge is extruded from the sampling tube, the sample aliquot for VOC analysis 

will be removed from the middle of the sludge core. Sample aliquots for VOC analysis will be 

removed from the frozen sludge by coring, such as with a cork borer or with an EnCore sampler. 

If an EnCore sampler is used, sample collection should be conducted from the center of the 

frozen core midsection, not from the sides of the core. For VOC sample aliquots that will be 

placed in sample jars, small portions of the frozen core should be tightly packed into the sample 
BWXT - FEP Delisting Petition 11/8/04 

jar before any thawing (and potential volatilization) takes place. The VOC sample container will 

be filled completely to minimize headspace. 

A custody seal will be placed across each sample container lid or cooler that contains multiple 

samples. 

The sample containers will be placed in coolers with ice or stored in a secured refrigerator to 

maintain a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius ("C). Because the samples will be delivered to the 

on-site BWXT laboratory soon after collection (typically, before the samples have a chance to be 

cooled), temperature blanks are not required. 

Samples for VOC analysis will be delivered to the laboratory the same day they are removed 

from the cores. Other samples preferably will be delivered to the laboratory the same day also; 

but if they are held overnight, then the coolers will be kept in a secure, locked location. 

Custody of the samples will be maintained following the chain-of-custody procedures in the 

BWXT Data Collection Quality Assurance Plan (DCQAP). 

H. Field Documentation 

The sludge sampling activities will be documented on the following kinds of field forms: 

Field Activity Daily Log 

Sample Collection Log 

Chain-of-Custody Form. 

Examples of these forms, and how they are used, are included in the DCQAP. 

The daily narrative of the fieldwork for the sludge sampling will be documented on Field 

Activity Daily Logs. Each sludge tube or other sample collected will be documented on a 

Sample Collection Log. The Sample Collection Log will provide the following information 

about the sample: pond identifier (ID), sample location ID, number of tubes collected at the 

sampling point, sludge depth and description, collection of additional material for QC samples, 

and any comments or observations. All samples sent to the laboratory for analysis will be 

accompanied by a chain-of-custody form, which will also include the request for analysis. 

IV. Sample Analysis 

A. Analytical Laboratories 

It is anticipated that all laboratory analyses, except dioxins/furans and oil and grease, will be 

performed by the BWXT Services Nuclear Environmental Laboratory. Dioxinslfurans will be 

analyzed by Eno River Labs of Durham, North Carolina. Oil and grease will be analyzed by 

Severn Trent Laboratory-St. Louis, Earth City, Missouri. The current certificates of 

accreditation for the laboratories are presented in Attachment B of the DCQAP. 
BWXT - FEP Delisting Petition 11/8/04 

If another laboratory is used for some of the analyses, that laboratory will be accredited by the 

National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program for the analyses the laboratory will 

perform. 

B. Phase 1 Analytical Parameters 

The parameters to be analyzed in the Phase 1 sludge samples are listed in Table 1. The specific 

analytical methods and the laboratories' standard reporting limits for the various parameter 

groups are listed in Tables 5 through 10. 

C. Phase 2 Analytical Parameters 

After the Phase 1 analysis results are completed and compiled, a summary will be provided to 

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). To provide a cost-effective and 

comprehensive sampling analysis for Phase 2, a telephone conference call or meeting will be 

held with the EPA to determine the final list of analytes for the Phase 2 sludge samples. It is 

anticipated that the Phase 2 samples will be analyzed for a significantly shorter list of analytes. 

V. Quality Control Samples - Phases 1 and 2 

QC samples will be collected and analyzed to verify the integrity of the sampling and analytical 

program. The types of QC samples that will be collected and their general collection frequencies 

are described below. 

A. Trip Blanks 

Trip blanks are applicable only to samples being analyzed for VOCs. The blanks are prepared in 

the laboratory using laboratory-grade DI water. The blanks are transported to the site and back 

to the laboratory without being opened until the site samples are analyzed. One trip blank will 

accompany each cooler that contains samples to be analyzed for VOCs. The trip blank will be 

analyzed for VOCs along with the sludge samples that it accompanied from the field. 

B. Equipment Rinsates 

Equipment rinsate samples will be collected during sampling to verify the effectiveness of 

sampling equipment cleaning and to monitor for potential to inadvertently transport constituents 

of interest between samples. Equipment rinsates will be collected from the final DI water rinses 

of the polycarbonate sampling tubes or the sludge homogenization containers (sequential rinsate 

samples will alternate between the two). One rinsate sample will be collected for every 20 

sludge samples, or two per sampling event (e.g., sampling phase), whichever is greater. The 

rinsate samples will be analyzed for total concentrations of all the chemical parameters. 
BWXT - FEP Delisting Petition 11/8/04 

C. Field Blanks 

Field blanks will be prepared in the field from the source of the DI water used for cleaning. 

Analysis of field blanks will ensure that all water sources used during cleaning of sampling 

equipment are free of the parameters of interest. One field blank will be collected per source of 

water used for equipment cleaning or one per sampling event, whichever is greater. The field 

blank(s) will be analyzed for total concentrations of all the chemical parameters. 

D. Field Duplicates 

Field duplicate samples of the sludges will be collected. The aliquots of field duplicates for 

VOC analysis will be collected from adjacent positions on the same sludge core. Field duplicate 

aliquots for the other analytical parameters will be collected from the homogenized sludge. A 

minimum of one field duplicate will be collected for every 20 sludge samples, or one per 

sampling phase, whichever is greater. Field duplicates will be analyzed for the same parameters 

as the other sludge samples. 

E. Matrix Spike and Matrix Spike Duplicate Samples 

Separate field samples will be collected for the laboratory matrix spikelmatrix spike duplicate 

(MSIMSD) analyses. MSMSD samples are described in the DCQAP. One pair of MSIMSD 

samples will be collected for every 20 sludge samples, or one per sampling event, whichever is 

greater. 

VI. Sample Quantities 

Table 11 lists the estimated numbers of sludge samples and QC samples and the sample 

containers for the Phase 1 sampling. 

VII. Data Validation 

The analytical data will be validated by Shaw Environmental, Inc., in accordance with the EPA 

Region I11 Innovative Approaches to Data Validation (June 1995). The validation will evaluate 

the laboratory analytical reports and the associated field documentation to determine whether the 

sampling and analytical method requirements are achieved. The analytical data generated will be 

analyzed for precision, accuracy, representativeness, completeness, and comparability. Organic 

compounds will be validated at level M-2 and inorganic compounds at level M-1. 

The minimum acceptable completeness goal for Phase 1 will be 7 out of 8 sample analyses, 

except for the multiple pH extractions, for which 100 percent completeness is required. If 

necessary, more samples will be taken and analyzed to generate a data set that is acceptably 

complete. 

The completeness goal for Phase 2 will be a minimum of 90 percent.

7. TCLP extraction for cyanide will use deionized water as the leaching fluid. 

8. TCLP analyses for all constituents using two extraction fluids other than the standard TCLP extraction fluid: (I) 

distilled deionized water; and (2) sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate solution of pH 10. This is described in 

the EPA RCRA Delisting Program Guidance Manual for the Petitioner, March 2000, Appendix H, Elements of the 

Region 6's Evaluation Process, Attachment 4, Multiple pH Test Protocol, a~.epa.aovlearthl r616pdlrcra clpd9. Analytical results will be reported on a wet weight basis. Sludge water content will also be analyzed and reported. 

10. For total concentration analyses, the sludge samples will be prepared and analyzed as a solid matrix.
