Any analytical procedures not expressly listed in 40 CFR 136 shall be subject to prior approval by the Huntington Sanitary Board. Sampling will be conducted at the existing sanitary manhole identified as No. 18, in the 8-inch sewer line that runs downhill South to North, on the lower entrance road, located approximately 25-30 northeast of the facility parking garage. Sampling will consist of 8-hour composite sample to be collected during the weekday (Monday Friday) during the approximate time period 8:00 a.m. 5:00 p.m. on non-rainfall days. A minimum of 4 grab samples are also required to be collected at equal intervals over the 8-hour composite sampling period. These samples are earmarked for pH, flashpoint, phenol (total), oil & grease (total), and Total Toxic Organics (TTO) volatile and semi volatile.
