ICF Kaiser Engineers (ICF KE) has been contracted by the United States Army Environmental Center (USAEC) to develop and implement a Reference Sampling and Analysis Program (RSAP) at the U.S. Army Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland. This task will be performed under Contract No. DAAA15-91-D-0014, Task Order 12. This task was issued for the purpose of providing baseline reference data for Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) activities at APG, as well as for the Risk and Biological Impact Assessment (ICF KE 1993) currently under development for the APG Directorate of Safety, Health, and Environment (DSHE). This Field Operations Work Plan (FOWP) describes the technical approach for conducting the field sampling activities, chemical analyses, and data review and analysis associated with the RSAP. A detailed discussion of the Data Quality Objectives, methods of analysis, Quality Assurance Program, and standard operating procedures for the sampling team and laboratory for the RSAP is provided in the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPjP) (ICF KE 1995).

Originally published in 1994, the first edition of Field Sampling Methods for Remedial Investigations soon became a premier resource in this field. The "Princeton Groundwater" course designated it as one of the top books on the market that addresses strategies for groundwater characterization, groundwater well installation, well completion, and groundwater sampling. This long awaited third edition provides most current and most cost-effective environmental media characterization methods and approaches supporting all aspects of remediation activities. This book integrates recommendations from over one hundred of the most current US EPA, State EPA, US Geological Survey, US Army Corps of Engineers, and National Laboratory environmental guidance and/or technical documents. This book provides guidance, examples, and/or case studies for the following subjects: Implementing the EPA’s latest Data Quality Objectives process Developing cost effective statistical & non-statistical sampling designs supporting all aspects of environmental remediation activities, and available statistical sample design software Aerial photography, surface geophysics, airborne/surface/downhole/building radiological surveys, soil gas surveying, environmental media sampling, DNAPL screening, portable X-ray fluorescence measurements Direct push groundwater sampling, well installation, well development, well purging, no-purge/low-flow/standard groundwater sampling, depth-discrete ground sampling, groundwater modeling Tracer testing, slug testing, waste container and building material sampling, pipe surveying, defining background conditions Documentation, quality control sampling, data verification/validation, data quality assessment, decontamination, health & safety, management of investigation waste A recognized expert on this subject, author Mark Byrnes provides standard operating procedures and guidance on the proper implementation of these methods, focusing on proven technologies that are acknowledged by EPA and State regulatory agencies as reputable techniques.
