Project Contact Information:

Introduction The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Carlsbad Field Office (CFO) is seeking an accredited third-party lab to analyze water and soil samples for specific contaminants. The CFO administers over 2 million acres of surface estate and 3 million acres of mineral estate in the southeastern portion of New Mexico. The CFO is located within the extent of the

Permian Basin, a prolific oil basin in the United States.

Due to the heavy industrialization of the CFO region, the region has a growing problem with illegal dumping of commercial and industrial wastes from multiple sources that may contain different classes of contaminants and pollutants. Illegally dumped materials are transferred to surface water and underground aquifer recharge areas during rain events. Water and sediment baseline analysis is needed to ensure that surface and groundwater quality is not degraded to the extent that it creates a public health threat, negative impacts to recreationists or game animals, or environmental degradation of sensitive habitats. The CFO is seeking an accredited lab to analyze field collected water and sediment samples for a wide range of contaminants. All samples shall be field collected by BLM personnel.

Requested Services The following services shall be required:

- An accredited lab facility located within 80 driving miles of Carlsbad, New Mexico to facilitate in-person pick up of sample bottles and delivery of filled sample bottles by BLM Staff

- Provide sample bottles with required preservatives for contaminant analysis for soil and water sample collection.

o A spreadsheet is attached that lists the specific contaminants to be analyzed. One or all of the contaminants may be analyzed on a specific sampling project.

- Analyze water, soil, and sediment samples for specific contaminants using specified standard methods:

o A spreadsheet is attached that lists the analytical method to be used so that there is consistency in analytical data collected.

- Maintain chain of custody and accurate tracking of delivered samples

- Maintain delivered samples under required conditions until analyzed

- Provide a detailed, clear, and easy to read analytical report of analyzed constituents to the CFO point of contact

Sample Site Description BLM personnel will collect all field samples from the sample sites. Project sample sites may be located anywhere within the CFO jurisdictional boundary in southeast New Mexico (Eddy, Lea, Chavez counties). We anticipate water and soil sample analysis of six sites at the following locations:

Site Name Latitude Longitude Black River TX Hornshell Area 32.2249680 -104.2164840 Parks Ranch Cave 32.1108950 -104.4071180 Delaware River 32.0073600 -104.1063720 Cottonwood Draw Spring 32.0807194 -104.3581566 Light Spring 32.2023460 -104.4251062 Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Depressional Wetland 32.1475161 -104.0372466

Government Furnished Materials and Services A. Pick up of lab-supplied sample bottles with preservatives

BLM CFO personnel will contact the lab to prepare water and soil sample bottles for specific contaminants 24-48 hours in advance. Sample bottles for a specific sampling project may include one or all of the contaminants on the supplied list of analyzed contaminants. BLM personnel will pick up water and soil sample bottles with appropriate preservatives from the lab.

B. Field Collection of Sediment and Water Samples

BLM CFO personnel will collect field samples according to standard sampling protocols in the field and will fill the lab-provided sample bottles with sample materials. Samples shall be labelled and a coded with a unique sample ID placed on each sample. A chain of custody form shall be filled out for the collected samples. Sample materials will be placed in ice chests as required to preserve the samples.

C. Delivery of Collected and Preserved Samples and Chain of Custody Form to the Lab.

BLM personnel will drive the collected samples to the lab and deliver samples and the chain of custody form to the lab for analysis.

D. Technical Point of Contact

A BLM Technical Point of Contact will be assigned to the project.

E. NEPA Clearance

Clearance of the project under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) will be done by the BLM.

F. Notification of Adjacent Interests and Regulatory Entities

Any notification of adjacent interests and regulatory entities shall be done by the BLM.
