An appropriately certified off-site analytical laboratory will analyze waste characterization
samples for the applicable SW-846 or ASTM method. The analytical laboratory selected for
these analyses will be required to comply with SW-846 Quality Assurance/Quality Control
procedures for each procedure performed.
2.6 Sampling Methods – 40 CFR 264.13(b)(2) & 40 CFR 264.13(b)(3)
2.6.1 Collection Method
The appropriate representative sampling techniques, devices, and containers will be selected
from the SW-846 or the ASTM method. Samples will be collected in a representative
manner, either as a composite sample or as a discrete grab sample (i.e., randomly collected
small sample), based on the material characteristics, container size, and access.
Safe sampling procedures will be developed and reviewed prior to implementation.
Laboratory preparation methods will be selected based on the data use. If the TCLP
procedure is required for characterization, the appropriate leaching and extraction methods
specified in SW-846 will be followed. All metals samples will be preserved per quality
control requirements. Specific sampling methods and analytical methods are specified in
Table 2.6-1.
Repeat negative results may result in the analysis being removed for that waste stream.
Multiple negative results during initial characterization for a parameter may result in
removing a parameter from the analytical list for that waste stream.
