REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLING METHODS

The methods and equipment used for sampling waste materials will vary with the form and consistency of the waste materials to be sampled. Samples collected using the sampling protocols listed below, for sampling waste with properties similar to the indicated materials, will be considered by the department to be representative of the waste.

Extremely viscous liquid - ASTM Standard D140-70; Crushed or powdered material - ASTM Standard D346-75; Soil or rock-like material - ASTM Standard D420-69; Soil-like material - ASTM Standard D1452-65; Fly Ash-like material - ASTM Standard D2234-76 (ASTM Standards are available from ASTM, 1916 Race Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103) (see 6 NYCRR 370.1[e]).

Containerized liquid wastes - "COLIWASA" described in "Test Methods for the Evaluation of Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," EPA Publication SW-846, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Solid Waste, Washington, DC 20460 (see 6 NYCRR 370.1[e]). (Copies may be obtained from Solid Waste Information, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 26 West St. Clair Street, Cincinnati, OH 45268.)

Liquid waste in pits, ponds, lagoons and similar reservoirs -- "Pond Sampler," described in "Test Methods for the Evaluation of Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods." These methods are also described in "Samplers and Sampling Procedures for Hazardous Waste Streams," EPA 600/2-80-018, January 1980 (see 6 NYCRR 370.1[e]).

This manual also contains additional information on application of these protocols.
