With the HydraSleeve sampler, loss of TCE (11%) was statistically
significant. Given that the sample had to be retrieved from such depth, it seems
reasonable that losses of TCE might be slightly greater in this study than in the
standpipe studies. These losses might possibly have been less if the HydraSleeve
sampler had been left to equilibrate overnight prior to sampling, as recommended
by the manufacturer.
