| 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.
