Objectives

To have 195 soil samples, 3 fine/medium-grained mine waste rock samples, and 10 rinsate/equipment blank samples analyzed for full scan metals via SW846 Method 6010D/SW846 7471B (for Hg). Note: The concentrations of metals in some samples could be upwards of 10,000 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) or higher.

Tasks

· Retain analyzed and non-analyzed samples for period of 6 months.

· Properly dispose of samples in accordance with state, federal, and local regulations after retention period expires (6 months).
