Building 438 Drainage Channel Soil Sampling and Analysis Plan (February 2023)
This Soil Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) was prepared by the Environmental Function Area (EFA)/Technical Services Department (TSD) of the Environment, Safety & Health (ES&H) Directorate for the Project Management Office (PMO) for the proposed Building 438 Drainage Channel Project (project) located near Building 438 (B438) in the southern portion, Building 433 (B433) in the middle portion, and Building 543 (B543) in the northern portion (project area as shown on Figure 1). The purpose of the SAP was to describe the procedures for collection and analysis of environmental samples and evaluation of analytical data (chemical and radiological) to determine management options of excavated soil during project construction in accordance with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) Soils Screening and Management Plan (SSMP) (LLNL 2022), which is consistent with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidance for developing Data Quality Objectives for environmental data (EPA 2006). The SAP was developed in accordance with the SSMP and based on preliminary design information provided to EFA by PMO.
