1 Surface Water Sampling Steve Howatt

2 Who are we? CRO based out of Prince Edward Island, CANADA We have two research farms: New Glasgow, Prince Edward Island serving Zone 1 (1A) St Marc-sur-Richelieu, Quebec serving Zone 5 (5A, 5B)

3 What we do Pesticide Efficacy Studies: Pesticide efficacy / crop tolerance Trials to investigate label expansions Setup, coordination and monitoring of research permit sites Pesticide Residue Studies: Crop residue studies (OECD / EPA GLP) Field dissipation studies Other Crop and Environment-related research

4 Surface Water Monitoring Experience Watershed monitoring programs Monitor water quality Determine water quality index Correlate water quality with land use Effectiveness of constructed wetlands Nitrate monitoring programs Pesticide monitoring Study of the impacts of agricultural practices on water quality

5 Presentation Outline Sampling Methods Automated Sampling Equipment Selecting Sampling Locations Sampler Installation

6 Stream sampling considerations Understand the purpose of the sampling program Be familiar with the stream to be sampled: Must sample downstream of the discharge point Be aware of other possible contaminants Know what is going on upstream (dams, effluent outlets, etc)

7 Stream sampling considerations Stream elements: Riffles shallow, fast moving water Pools deep, slow moving water Runs moderate depth and speed

8 Sampling Location Consider: Access, weather, etc

9 Manual Sampling Involves filling a sample bottle by hand (grab sample) Considerations: Should try to sample at the centre of the channel Face the mouth of the bottle upstream Avoid floating debris and avoid disrupting sediment Always a good idea to label containers prior to sampling Good method when relatively few samples will be required, and when sampling can be conveniently scheduled.

10 Manual Sampling Advantages Simplicity Low cost Easy to monitor and observe Easy to re-collect a sample Disadvantages Requires site visits for every sample Safety concerns Labour costs can be high if many samples are required

11 Equipment Required for Manual Sampling Bottles Sampling pole Coolers (when necessary) Hip boots or chest waders Meters for DO, etc if readings taken on site

12 Automated Sampling Sampling and data collection are performed by a device (autosampler) The system records monitored conditions and sample collection data Samples are held in the sampler until they can be collected by the technician

13 Automated Sampling Advantages Lower labour cost (during sampling) can be extensive work kin the planning and setup phase Potentially safer working conditions Easier to plan and schedule site visits (as long as things are working properly) Disadvantages Equipment cost More technician training is required Increased possibility of equipment failure Power failure Programming problems Vandalism or theft Flooding

14 Equipment for Automated Sampling Programmable Auto sampler Flowmeters, rain gauges, probes to measure other parameters Data logging capabilities? Communication options? Infrastructure shelter, security, power, etc.

15 Autosampler components Most samplers: Use a pump to draw water through a strainer and flexible sample tube and deposit the sample into a collection bottle Use a computer processor to allow programming of sampler functions: Collection intervals Sample volumes Bottle positions in carousel

16 Auto sampler Many options available: Composite vs. discrete sampling Event based sampling? Flow based Event based (rainfall, temperature, ph) Water level based Refrigeration?

17 Programmable controller back front

18 Refrigerated compartment

19 Sample compartment Distribution arm and bottle carousel

20 Suction / Intake Line

21 Rain Gauge Key element for stormwater runoff monitoring Measures on-site rainfall and can be used to trigger a sampling event Sampler can remain idle until conditions require a sample Must be installed properly, and away from any obstructions

22 Other parameter measurement devices Multi-parameter probes: Dissolved oxygen ph Conductivity Temperature Turbidity Can be used to monitor and record data, or can be used to trigger sampling events

23 Flow / Level Monitoring For monitoring water level or to trigger sampling events

24 Data Collection

25 Communications Important t for remote monitoring i / control: Re-programming or forcing a grab sample Monitoring system status & checking on sampling events Downloading data from logger Modem: Can notify in the event of a problem: Low water level Sample missed Power failure

26 Sampler Programming and Set-up Pre-use programming and system configuration

27 Sampler Programming and Set-up Shop testing: Verify accuracy of sensors and probes Calibrate suction line Ensure operation of refrigeration unit, etc

28 Accessibility Identify flood line Security / shelter Power source Vertical head Autosampler Site Selection

29 Site Planning

30 Shelter set-up

31 Shelter set-up

32 Sampler Installation

33 Routing of Cables and Hoses

34 Installation of Probes and Intake

35 Sample Intake Installation The sample intake MUST be properly positioned in the stream to collect representative samples Must be secured Tubing should also be secured

36 Sampler On-site Programming

37 On-site Calibration

38 Sample Collection
