N2 or Location CH4 in O2 CO2 Balance H2S (use GPS Time air % % gas % % location if sample % needed) taken
MP-1 10 AM 1% 19.7 % 1% 78.3% NA
MP-2 10:15 0% 20.5% 0% 79.5% NA AM
MP-3 10:20 7% 10.5% 25.6% 56.9% NA AM
Scalehouse 10:26 0% 20.8% 2% 77.2% NA Interior AM Scalehouse 10:30 0% 20.9% 0% 79.1% NA crawlspace AM NA = Not applicable (not all meters measure H2S but some do). Make table according to what your meter measures. Note: Be sure to state whether the methane (CH4) reading is % in air or % of LEL. The above sample indicated the % is in air. COMMENTS: Methane probe MP# 3 exceeded the LEL (5%) at the property line. NMED will be notified immediately along with the steps taken to protect the public health. The probe will be resampled within 5 days. If an exceedance still occurs a plan for remediation will be prepared and submitted to NMED for approval and will be implemented within 60 days of initial detection. *Attach a map of the facility with labeled methane sampling point locations including buildings.
