The Monitoring Site Is Located at 470 Cooper Dr

Please read the following SOP and e-mail any comments to Jean: [email protected]

Changes will need to be made as we fill in missing information and as samplers report back to me about how well this worked in the field.

Tracy and I decided that putting the sand bags on the outside of the garbage bags would be better since we would then be less likely to “contaminate” our sample with solids from the bag.

I have made the executive decision to eliminate the site in front of the Oswald Building. I don’t think this site provides much information for us and I think the samplers will have their hands full doing the sites in the parking lot.

I have included a stormdrain in the parking lot away from the curb that should be representative of what we will have to sample from after construction of the building. Stormwater Sampling SOP

The monitoring site is located at 470 Cooper Dr. Lexington, Kentucky. The drainage area to be sampled consists of approximately 4 acres of parking lot prior to construction. After construction the site will consist of one 100,000 sq/ft building and approximately 1 acre of parking lot.

Identification of Sample Locations:

Parking Lot Storm Grates: Red, Yellow & Green Three storm drains will be sampled in the parking lot between BCTC and the UK Football stadium. These drains are located at the northeast? edge of parking lot between the Oswald and AT buildings. Two of the drains are next to the curb along the sidewalk and the third is located nearby out in the parking lot. These drains will be identified as Red, Yellow and Green (colors to change depending on what color flagging tape we have) and will have the appropriate colored flagging tape attached to the grate. See map for exact locations, each grate is labeled by color on the map. These locations should provide representative samples of the storm water coming off the existing parking lot and will be the priority sites for sampling events.

Notification of Sampling Team Amend using Paul’s SOP

Sampling Team is to be notified by weather watcher. See appendix # (include link to weather watch) Sampling team leader notifies team. See appendix # (include link to teams) Team members to meet at sampling site Team leader picks up sampling cart. Team leader ensures that all equipment is present and prepared for sampling, prior to moving to sampling sites. Team leader initiates documentation log of event by recording time and team members and maintains documentation chain for the sampling event. Complete Equipment List

Field Kit: large plastic tub (or Sampling Cart ) stored outside the garage entrance to the Oswald Building  Designated project field notebook: including checklist of procedures and site information to be recorded  Waterproof pen  Labeled sampling containers  reflective safety vests (2)  Scissors  Garbage bags – roll  Ziplock bags  Dipper assembly for grate behind building  4 Sampling Bottles – 3 pre-labeled and 1 unlabeled, one liter Nalgene,  Disposable powder-free gloves. (latex or nitrile gloves)  Chain of Custody Form NOTE: Field Log and Chain of Custody forms need to be kept in a dry bag on the cart

These items from original plan, I will delete unless you explain why needed i) MQ Water for rinsing (rinsing what?) ii) Luminous sticks per grate ???? iii) POV to block grate (what is this?)

Other Sampling Equipment:

 Traffic cones (number?) – stored alongside tub or cart? Near the OB garage entrance  Sandbags (6) to be stored in bushes near the sampling site

b) Preservation Equipment – Carried by samplers or stored on site? i) Cooler ii) Ice iii) Water

NOTE: Ice available from BCTC maintenance ice machine in OB ????? (sampler to provide ice after hours)

Strap rain gauge to parking pole beside grates ???????

General Procedures: Sampling to be performed within first 60 minutes of rainstorm Team members will wear clean powder-free gloves prior to sampling Field notebook information - Date - names of samplers - Time beginning sampling and time ending sampling - Weather conditions - Any deviation from the sampling SOP - Particularly note any problems with the SOP and ways that it could be improved

Sampling Procedure :

 Establish a Safety Perimeter

a.) Put on reflective safety vests b.) Place POV and cones used to create safety perimeter for sampling (see diagram A) What is POV? c.) Use POV to block sampling grate

 Make sure that the pre-labled sample bottle is for the appropriate site (ex: red bottle, red ribbon)  Stand behind sandbags/or on grate to avoid stepping in flow or pool.  Place garbage bag on top of storm grate  Place sandbags along outside edges of the bag to hold the bag in place  Lift top of bag high enough for the bag to fill will surface runoff  When bag has collected sufficient volume, clip bottom corner of back and let water flow into the sample bottle. NOTE: Avoid placing hands on surfaces or interiors of sampling bottles  When bottle is full, cap, place in a ziplock bag and put in cooler with ice  Repeat process at next sampling site

> If something happens to a pre-labeled sampling bottle (contaminated, dropped, etc.) use the un-labeled bottle, mark it and make appropriate explanatory comments in the field notebook.

When all sites have been sampled, complete the Chain of Custody form and keep samples in your custody until signed over to another person on the Sampling Team or signed over to someone on the Analysis Team. NOTE: preserved samples must be analyzed within 10 days.

Analysis Team will be responsible for cleaning sampling containers, ensuring that the color codes are intact and replacing them in the field sampling kit.
