Originally published in 1994, the first edition of Field Sampling Methods for Remedial Investigations quickly established itself as a leading resource in this field. The Princeton Groundwater course recognized it as one of the top books on the market that offers strategies for groundwater characterization, groundwater well installation, well completion, and groundwater sampling. After years of anticipation, this long-awaited third edition presents the most current and cost-effective environmental media characterization methods and approaches supporting all aspects of remediation activities. This comprehensive book integrates recommendations from over one hundred of the most current US EPA, State EPA, US Geological Survey, US Army Corps of Engineers, and National Laboratory environmental guidance and/or technical documents.

This book serves as a valuable guide, offering examples and/or case studies on various subjects related to environmental remediation. These subjects include:

Implementing the EPA's latest Data Quality Objectives process: This chapter provides guidance on how to develop cost-effective statistical and non-statistical sampling designs that support all aspects of environmental remediation activities. It also discusses available statistical sample design software that can assist in designing sampling plans.

Developing cost-effective statistical & non-statistical sampling designs supporting all aspects of environmental remediation activities, and available statistical sample design software: This chapter discusses the importance of developing efficient sampling designs that minimize costs while ensuring data quality. It provides examples and/or case studies of statistical and non-statistical sampling designs, including aerial photography, surface geophysics, airborne/surface/downhole/building radiological surveys, soil gas surveying, environmental media sampling, DNAPL screening, portable X-ray fluorescence measurements, direct push groundwater sampling, well installation, well development, well purging, no-purge/low-flow/standard groundwater sampling, depth-discrete ground sampling, groundwater modeling, tracer testing, slug testing, waste container and building material sampling, pipe surveying, defining background conditions, documentation, quality control sampling, data verification/validation, data quality assessment, decontamination, health & safety, and management of.
