4.0 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

A. Sample Containers

The contractor shall use only new sample-appropriate containers. The container shall be a PA-DEP and/or USEPA approved container for the consƟtuent being analyzed. The contractor shall provide new sample-appropriate containers to the Government POC for sample collecƟon to be performed by the Government. New sample-appropriate containers shall be cleaned to USEPA Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) requirements. In addiƟon to new sample boƩles, the contractor shall furnish labels, blank chain of custody (COC) forms, equipment, chemical reagents, and related items to perform all sampling requirements.

B. Sample CollecƟon and Pickup

Sewage Treatment Plant grab sample pickups will be generally once per week, on Wednesdays, between 0800 and 1200 hours. Since flow rates affect the weekday for sample pull, the Government reserves the right to change the day of collecƟon with a 24-hour noƟce to the contractor. Exact Ɵmes for pickups shall be coordinated with the Government POC. Periodically, pickups may be required more frequently. In these cases, the Government will noƟfy the contractor as soon as possible of the needed addiƟonal pickups. Every effort will be made to noƟfy the laboratory at least one working day prior to the required pickup.

Also, as deemed necessary, samples may be delivered by the Government to the contractor during normal business hours. The Government reserves the right to cancel a weekly pickup on an “as needed” basis during the contract period.

The contractor, where applicable, shall composite and collect samples at the Sewage Treatment Plant according to the flow rate occurring during the sampling period. Composite samples shall be made immediately following compleƟon of the automaƟc sampling period. Other grab samples shall also be taken at approximately the same hour. Prior to transportaƟon of the samples, they shall be properly preserved by refrigeraƟon and/or applicable preservaƟon techniques as specified in required rules and regulaƟons for the sample taken. Laboratory analysis of the samples shall begin within the Ɵmeframe specified in said rules and regulaƟons or within 24 hours following compleƟon of samples collecƟon to prevent degradaƟon.

If the plant is out of compliance, addiƟonal pickups may be required. This may conƟnue unƟl compliance is once again aƩained. A wriƩen analyƟcal report shall be submiƩed to the Government POC within 7 calendar days following sample collecƟon. If parameters exceed the limit specified in Appendix A (see AƩachment 3 – Non-Municipal Sewage) for the Sewage Treatment Plant (permit requirements), the contractor shall immediately noƟfy the Government POC by telephone upon compleƟon of the analysis.

Appendix A idenƟfies test methods in accordance with DLA InstallaƟon Management Susquehanna’s Permit. The contractor will analyze samples in accordance with this permit or equivalent analyƟcal methods. If an equivalent analyƟcal method is planned, the contractor must contact the Government within two days of planned use of the method.

The Government may request the contractor to perform analysis on samples obtained from sources other than the Sewage Treatment Plant influent and effluent. AddiƟonal pickups may be required (as frequently as one per day).

C. Bulk Samples of Asbestos

The contractor shall provide the necessary labor, material, and/or equipment to analyze bulk samples of asbestos for percentage and type of asbestos. The laboratory analyzing asbestoscontaining material (ACM) samples must be NaƟonal Voluntary Laboratory AccreditaƟon Program (NVLAP) cerƟfied.

Turnaround Ɵme for reporƟng results would normally be 5 days from the date of receipt of the sample.

Periodically, a faster turnaround Ɵme will be needed to report results within 24 hours from the date of receipt of the sample. The contractor shall fax or email all results to the Government POC.

D. Sample Container Disposal

Unless otherwise instructed by the KO, the contractor is required to dispose of any unused sample volumes and used sample containers no earlier than 60 days following the submission of analyƟcal data.

Sample disposal and disposal of unused sample containers is the responsibility of the contractor and should be done in accordance with all applicable laws and regulaƟons governing the disposal of such material.
