Short description: EXTRACT: Document comprises two parts. Part A contains explanatory material that discusses the relationship between soil sampling and risk assessment, the importance of the Conceptual Model, uncertainty and data quality, and key design parameters. Part B contains procedures for developing appropriate soil sampling strategies and for reviewing planned or completed work. The document addresses only those matters relevant to the development of sampling strategies for soils and closely allied materials such as solid wastes, ground gases and vapours, the leachable fraction, soil pore waters and nonaqueous phase liquids. The document does not cover in detail characterisation of the water environment, ecological status or the geotechnical properties of the ground. Nor does it provide detailed advice on the broader issues that have to be considered to ensure that soil sampling is practical, safe and legally defensible. Sources of guidance on these topics are set out in Appendix 1.
