OSTI ID:6181360

The manual provides guidance on unsaturated zone monitoring at hazardous-waste land-treatment units for use by permit applicants and permit writers in developing effective monitoring systems to comply with the Part 264, Subpart M regulations. The manual covers both soil core and soil pore-liquid monitoring, and addresses equipment selection, installation, and operation, sampling procedures, chain of custody considerations, and data evaluation. The installation and sampling procedures are presented in a step-by-step format so that the manual may be more readily used by field personnel. The manual and other EPA guidance documents do not supersede the regulations promulgated under RCRA and published in the Code of Federal Regulations. They provide guidance, interpretations, suggestions, and references to additional information. Also, this guidance is not intended to mean that other designs might not also satisfy the regulatory standards.
