Significance and Use | ||||||||||||||||||
Soil gas is simply the gas phase (air) that exists in the open spaces between soil particles in the unsaturated portion of the vadose zone. Normally comprised of nitrogen and oxygen, soil gas becomes contaminated when volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released in the subsurface due to spills or leaks, and they begin to evaporate from a fluid phase and become part of the soil gas. Over time, VOCs can potentially migrate through the soil or groundwater or both and present a problem to the environment and human health. Application of Soil Gas Surveys—Soil gas surveying offers an effective, quick and cost-effective method of detecting volatile contaminants in the vadose zone. Soil gas surveying has been demonstrated to be effective for selection of suitable and representative samples for other more costly and definitive investigative methods. This method is highly useful at the initiation of an investigation into the preliminary site investigation of determining the existence and extent of volatile or semivolatile organic contamination, and determination of location of highest concetrations, as well as, monitoring the effectiveness of on-going remedial activities. Samples are collected by inserting a sampling device into a borehole with hydraulically-driven direct push drilling technology or manually-driven driven hand sampling equipment. Soil gas surveys can be performed over a wide range of spatial designs. Spatial designs include soil gas sampling in profiles or grid patterns at a single depth or multiple depths. Multiple depth sampling is particularly useful for contaminant determinations in cases with complex soil type distribution and multiple sources. Depth profiling can also be useful in the determination of the most appropriate depth(s) at which to monitor soil gas, as well as the demonstration of migration and degradation processes in the vadose zone. Soil gas surveys are used extensively in preliminary site investigations and monitoring of effectiveness of on-going site remediation efforts. Project objectives must be known and the limitation of this method considered. Limitations include: Data generated from soil gas surveying is relative and not of the quality necessary for a single data set; and Soil gas surveys need to be done quickly, so this method is for active soil-gas sampling devices only. |

1. Scope | ||||||||||||||||||
1.1 This practice details the collection of active soil gas samples using a variety of sample collection techniques with tooling associated with direct push drilling technology (DPT) or manual-driven hand-sampling equipment, for the express purpose of conducting soil gas surveys. 1.2 This practice proceeds on the premise that soil gas surveys are primarily used for two (2) purposes, 1) as a preliminary site investigative tool and 2) for the monitoring of ongoing remediation activities. 1.3 The practicality of field use demands that soil gas surveys are relatively accurate, as well as being simple, quick, and inexpensive. This guide suggests that the objective of soil gas surveys is linked to three factors: 1.3.1 VOC detection and quantitation, including determination of depth of VOC contamination. 1.3.2 Sample retrieval ease and time. 1.3.3 Cost. 1.4 This practice will likely increase the awareness of a fundamental difference between soil gas sampling for the purpose of soil gas surveys versus sub-slab or vapor intrusion investigations or both. Specifically, the purpose of a soil gas survey is to provide quick and inexpensive data to the investigator that will allow the investigator to 1) develop a site investigation plan that is strategic in its efforts, 2) determine success or progress of on-going remedial activities, or 3) select the most suitable subsequent investigation equipment, or combinations thereof. On the other hand, the objective of soil gas sampling for sub-slab and vapor intrusion investigations (1, 2, 3, etc.) is not preliminary, but rather the end result of the site investigation or long-term precise monitoring. As such, stringent sampling methods and protocol are necessary for precise samples and data collection. 1.5 Details included in this practice include a broad spectrum of practices and applications of soil gas surveys, including: 1.5.1 Sample recovery and handling, 1.5.2 Sample analysis, 1.5.3 Data interpretation, and 1.5.4 Data reporting. 1.6 This practice suggests a variety of approaches useful to conducting successful soil gas surveys but cannot replace education or experience and should be used in conjunction with professional judgment. Not all aspects of this practice may be applicable in all circumstances. This ASTM standard is not intended to represent or replace the standard of care by which the adequacy of a given professional service must be judged, nor should this document be applied without consideration of a project's many unique aspects. 1.7 This practice offers an organized collection of information or a series of options and does not recommend a specific course of action. The success of any one soil gas survey methodology is strongly dependent upon the environment in which it is applied. 1.8 This practice is not to be used for long term monitoring of contaminated sites or for site closure conformation. 1.9 This practice is not to be used for passive determination of flow patterns at contaminated sites. 1.10 This practice does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this practice to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.11 This practice does not purport to set standard levels of acceptable risk. Use of this practice for purposes of risk assessment is wholly the responsibility of the user. 1.12 Concerns of practitioner liability or protection from or release from such liability, or both, are not addressed by this practice. |
