Textbook in PDF format
Originally published in 1994, the first edition of Field Sampling Methods for
Remedial Investigations soon became a premier resource in this field. The “Princeton
Groundwater” course designated it as one of the top books on the market that
addresses strategies for groundwater characterization, groundwater well installation,
well completion, and groundwater sampling. This long awaited third edition provides
most current and most cost-effective environmental media characterization methods
and approaches supporting all aspects of remediation activities. This book integrates
recommendations from over one hundred of the most current US EPA, State EPA, US
Geological Survey, US Army Corps of Engineers, and National Laboratory environmental guidance and/or technical documents.
This book provides guidance, examples, and/or case studies for the following
subjects:
Implementing the EPA’s latest Data Quality Objectives process
Developing cost-effective statistical and non-statistical sampling designs supporting all aspects of environmental remediation activities, and available statistical sample design software
Aerial photography, surface geophysics, airborne/surface/downhole/building radiological surveys, soil gas surveying, environmental media sampling,
DNAPL screening, portable X-ray fluorescence measurements
Direct push groundwater sampling, well installation, well development, well purging, no-purge/low-flow/standard groundwater sampling, depth-discrete ground sampling, groundwater modeling
Tracer testing, slug testing, waste container and building material sampling, pipe surveying, defining background conditions
Documentation, quality control sampling, data verification/validation, data quality assessment, decontamination, health and safety, management of investigation waste
A recognized expert on this subject, author Mark Byrnes provides standard operating procedures and guidance on the proper implementation of these methods, focusing on proven technologies that are acknowledged by EPA and State regulatory agencies as reputable techniques
