Sec. 26.10.13.10. Quality Control, Sample Collection, and Analysis

A. An owner or operator of an oil-contaminated soil facility shall maintain a quality control program approved by the Department that establishes an adequate tracking mechanism and verification for oil-contaminated soil received by the facility.

B. An owner or operator of an oil-contaminated soil facility shall collect a grab sample for each incoming truckload of oil-contaminated soil, and combine not more than three grab samples to form one composite sample. Each composite sample shall be identified by source, date received, and transporter, and shall be properly maintained at the oil-contaminated soil facility for a minimum of 90 days. The Department may require an extension of the 90-day requirement if it is determined to be necessary.

C. An owner or operator of a facility shall use a third-party testing laboratory, approved by the Department, to randomly select one composite sample collected pursuant to §B of this regulation, at least every 2 weeks and perform the following analyses on that composite sample:

(1) Polychlorinated biphenyls by EPA method 8080 as defined in 40 CFR §260.11, or other method approved by the Department; and

(2) A complete TCLP analysis by EPA method 1311 as defined in 40 CFR 261, Appendix II, or other method approved by the Department, although a TCLP test designed to detect heavy metals only may be performed on oil-contaminated soil that is certified by the generator to be excluded under 40 CFR §261.4(b)(10).

D. The results of the analyses conducted pursuant to §C of this regulation shall be submitted directly to the Department by the third-party testing laboratory.
