FDEP SOP Sampling Training For Groundwater, Surface Water and Wastewater

Attributes	CEU's: .75 FBPE PDHs 0004040: 7.5 FDEP OCP DS/DW/WW CEUs: 0.75: Intermediate: 4507 Solid Waste I II III/C&D: 7.0 Time: 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Coordinator	Stephanie West, (352) 392-9570 x216
Description	This one-day course teaches the new revised Quality Assurance Rules (Chapter 62-160, FAC) basic concepts and techniques for scientifically valid field sampling, as outlined in DEP's Standard Operating Procedures. Planning, documentation, quality control, equipment considerations, and actual sampling procedures for surface water, wastewater, and groundwater are covered. The course involves lecture and actual hands-on segments. The class is taught by DEP Standards and Assessment Section Staff. The revised Quality Assurance Rule (62-160 FAC) and associated field sampling SOPs (adopted by reference in the Rule) became effective officially on December 3, 2008. The final revised SOPs are available at: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/labs/qa/index.htm Field sampling entities are required to use these DEP SOPs, unless otherwise specified by DEP in a permit, rule, order or contract. A link to the revised version of Chapter 62-160, F.A.C. is also provided at the above link. Preparation for the Course Each SOP is the official syllabus for its respective portion of the course. Please note that not all SOPs will be taught in the course. You are expected to read in full and study the following SOPs prior to the course. NEW!
