A.
The methods and equipment used for sampling waste materials will vary with the
form and consistency of the waste materials to be sampled. Samples collected
using the sampling protocols listed in §B, of this regulation, for
sampling waste with properties similar to the indicated materials, will be
considered by the Department to be representative of the waste.
B. Sampling Protocols.
(1) Extremely viscous liquid - ASTM Standard
D140-70.
(2) Crushed or powdered
material - ASTM Standard D346-75.
