Summary of Practice3.1 The top layers of material are removed down to therequired sample depth using a shovel or other suitable equip-ment. A clean scoop is then used to co
7、llect the actual sample,which is placed in a sample container.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice is intended for use in collecting samples ofcontaminated soils and similar materials.4.2 Scoops are used primarily for collecting samples nearthe surface. Subsurface samples can be obtained by firs
8、tremoving higher layers using a shovel or other suitableequipment and collecting the sample with the scoop.4.3 Because of their simplicity, scoops are useful in takingsamples of waste materials where decontamination or disposalis a problem with other types of sampling equipment. Scoopsare also suita
9、ble for use in rapid screening programs, pilotstudies, and other semi-quantitative investigations.4.4 Samples should be collected in accordance with anappropriate work plan (see Practice D 5283 and GuideD 4687).5. Sampling Equipment5.1 A shovel or other suitable equipment can be used for theinitial
10、removal of overburden material. This equipment shouldbe manufactured from material that is compatible with the soilor waste to be sampled. The scoop must be manufactured frommaterial that is compatible with the soil or waste to be sampledand the required test or analysis to be performed. For mosthaz
11、ardous waste sampling, either a disposable plastic scoop ora reusable stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene-coatedscoop is suitable (see Guide 6232 and Practice 5792).5.2 The design of the scoop is important to minimizesampling error, that is, all the material intended as the samplecan be colle
12、cted and placed in the sample container and is notlost as the scoop is systematically lifted from the source to thesample container (see Guide D 6044, Pierre Gys SamplingTheory and Sampling Practice and Fig. 1).5.3 For measurement of sample depth, a ruler or tapemeasure can be used.5.4 The advantage
13、s of sampling with a scoop are that thescoops are:5.4.1 inexpensive,5.4.2 easy to use, and5.4.3 easy to clean.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D34 on WasteManagement and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D34.01.03 on SamplePreservation.Current edition approved Ap

17、ample Containers6.1 Plastic, glass, or other nonreactive containers should beused. Refer to Guide D 4687 for information on samplecontainers.7. Procedure7.1 Record all relevant information and observations aboutthe sample location.7.2 Use a shovel or other suitable equipment to remove anyoverburden
18、material down to the level specified in the workplan.7.3 Measure to the depth at which the sample will becollected with a ruler or tape measure. Record this informationin the field log book.7.4 Remove the thin layer of material that was in contactwith the overburden removal equipment and discard it
19、using aclean scoop. The work plan will define if the scoop may or maynot be reused to collect the actual sample.7.5 To collect a representative sample, the scoop should bepushed through the material with its base parallel to thematerials surface. The scoop should enter one side of thematerial and co
20、mpletely exit the other side, where possible.Once the sample is in the scoop, the scoop should be liftedvertically taking care not to lose any sample out the front orover the sides and back of the scoop.7.6 Collect a suitable volume of sample with the scoop (thesame scoop can be used to collect mult
21、iple scoopfuls to obtainsufficient volume to fill the container). Use a new (or decon-taiminated) scoop for each sample. Transfer the sample into thesuitable container. Close the sample and complete and attachthe sample label.7.7 Complete the field log book and chain-of-custody form.7.8 Decontaminat
22、e the reusable equipment in accordancewith the protocol specified in the work plan (see PracticeD 5088).8.
