STEP 1. SAFETY

BEFORE SAMPLING, MAKE SURE YOU ARE PREPARED WITH THE FOLLOWING:

Vaccinations

It is recommended that you get the vaccinations for:

• 1. Hepatitis A & B
• 2. Tetanus

Hand Sanitizer

Use hand sanitizer wipes after each sample

Gloves + Field Gear

Make sure you wear proper field gear such as boots Use gloves during sampling and discard afterwards inside cooler

STEP 2. PREPARATION

BEFORE SAMPLING, MAKE SURE THAT YOU PREPARE THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT AND CONTACTS:

Pick a date!

Select a date each month to collect samples

Bottles and Cooler

Order bottles and a cooler from Taiga Lab 3 days advance of sampling date (use bottle order form, see Additional Attachments)

Ice packs

Community should have ice packs ready to keep samples cold (but not frozen)

Taiga Lab

Contact Taiga Lab and let them know you are planning to send them samples

Additional Bottles

TSS, Ammonia, Phosphate Faecal Coliforms Phenols Mercury & Total Metals BOD/ CBOD Oil & Grease pH/ Conductivity

STERILE PHENOL

BTEX: (2 vials per sample; NO AIR IN BOTTLES) TPH: Requires both the oil and grease and BTEX bottles

STEP 2. PREPARATION

BEFORE SAMPLING, PREPARE THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT & CONTACTS:

Label Bottles

Label each bottle with:

• 1. Licence ‘#W2014L3-0002’ (Submission No.)
• 2. SNP # (Field Sample No.)
• 3. Date and Time
• 4. ‘Behchoko– SNP’ (Sample Description)

STEP 2. PREPARATION

BEFORE SAMPLING, PREPARE THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT & CONTACTS:

Transport Bottles

• 1. Sample the same day (e.g. the morning) that they will be shipped
• 2. Complete Laboratory Order Form (See Additional Attachments)
• 3. Arrange with Air Tindi for delivery of samples to Yellowknife

4.Arrange with Taiga Lab to pick up samples from Air Tindi

• 5. Samples should be submitted within 24 hours of sampling

STEP 2. PREPARATION

BEFORE SAMPLING, MAKE SURE THAT YOU PREPARE THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT AND CONTACTS:

STEP 3. SAMPLING PROCEDURE PART 1

• 1. Sample at the cleanest location first and as close to flight time as

possible (e.g. late morning if early afternoon flight, etc.)

• 2. AT EACH SNP LOCATION:

a) Wear gloves b) Ensure bottles are labeled before collecting samples c) Collect samples d) Place used bottles in cooler and keep unused bottles in separate bag e) Discard used gloves in cooler f) Use hand sanitizer wipes

STEP 3. SAMPLING PROCEDURE PART 3

Rinse Bottles 3 times, shake with lid on top, and dump away from sampling area before taking actual sample filled to the top “Fill, shake, and dump” x 3

FOR SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS:

pH/ Conductivity TSS, Ammonia, Phosphate Mercury & Total Metals BOD/ CBOD

STEP 3. SAMPLING PROCEDURE PART 4

DO NOT rinse bottle before taking actual sample. Instead, fill bottle to the top and record the time of day the sample was taken

FOR SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS:

Oil & Grease

STERILE

Faecal Coliforms

BTEX: (2 vials per sample; NO AIR IN BOTTLES) TPH: Requires both the oil and grease and BTEX bottles

Phenols

PHENOL
