at a hazardous waste site, the investigation-derived
waste (IDW) such as development water, or drill
cuttings may have to be containerized. If this is
not the case, this paragraph may be deleted.
**************************************************************************
Water removed during development and testing operations, and cuttings from
the drilling operations shall be contained in D.O.T.-approved drums,
containers, or vessels as specified in 49 CFR 172. The Contractor shall
furnish polyethylene and steel drums with lids, lid gaskets, bolts, chain
of custody forms and drum labels. The Contractor shall mark each drum
label in accordance with 49 CFR 172 in addition to the following
information: drum number, site name, well name and number, contents and
date, approximate depth of material contained in each drum and the name and
phone number of the [Installation Environmental Coordinator (IEC)]
[Contracting Officer] [_____].
2.8
SAMPLE CONTAINERS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Delete requirements for boxing core, if rock
coring is not anticipated at the site. Rock core
samples should be containerized, boxed and stored in
accordance with ER 1110-1-1901, EM 200-1-3, EM
1110-1-1804, and EM 1110-1-4000.
**************************************************************************
Drill cuttings and driven samples for geotechnical purposes shall be placed
in air-tight liter pint size [plastic] [glass] containers and labeled with
the project name, date of sample, well number and depth at which the
sample was taken. Both the container and lid shall be labeled in permanent
indelible ink. Jars shall be placed in partitioned [cardboard] [_____]
boxes. Boxes shall be labeled with project number and well number.
Containers and boxes shall be furnished by the Contractor. Core samples
shall be preserved and prepared for transport as described in ASTM D 5079.
Cored rock samples shall be placed in [wooden] [_____] core boxes as
indicated on the drawings. Spacers shall be placed in the proper positions
in the core boxes to show the location and actual extent of voids and core
losses as clearly as possible. The spacers shall be made of [wood] [_____]
[or some other relatively light material] which is of sufficient strength
to withstand jarring and crushing in handling. Spacers shall be of a
strongly contrasting color pattern so that core losses will be accented
either by direct observation or in photographs. In the smaller sizes, up
to and including 150 mm 6 inches, the spacers shall be the same width as
the cores. The outside and the inside of the core box lid shall be labeled
with the project name, hole number, date sampled, location, surface
elevation, core box number, and interval of depth of core. The information
on the label shall be such that it can clearly be read in photographs of
the core box. Both ends of the core box shall also be labeled with the hole
number and box number. The core shall be placed in the core box starting at
the left hand corner on the hinge side and running to the right.
Successive cores down the hole shall be placed in successive troughs,
starting from the back and working toward the front of the box so that the
core can be read in the same manner as a printed page, from left to right,
when standing in front of the open box.
