ATC Associates Inc. <br /> Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan <br /> Revised February 1995 <br /> Ten percent of the water samples submitted to the laboratory for analysis will be duplicates. Water <br /> sample duplicates will be created by filling two sample bottles from the well bailer. If more than one <br /> bailer volume is required, each bailer volume will be split between containers. <br /> 4.0 SAMPLE PRESERVATION <br /> Sample containers will be pre-cooled and transported to the site in the cooler. All samples will be <br /> preserved as indicated on Table I and placed in a cooler immediately after collection. Chemical ice <br /> sealed in plastic bags will be used in the cooler to cool and maintain samples at a temperature of 4°C. <br /> A high-low thermometer will accompany the samples to document transport conditions. Further <br /> discussion of sample preservation is included in the sampling protocols(Sections 11.0 and 12.0). <br /> 5.0 CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY PROCEDURES <br /> 5.1 Sample Labels <br /> Each sample container will be labeled prior to filling to prevent misidentification. The label will <br /> contain at least the following information: <br /> ✓ sample number which uniquely identifies the sample <br /> ✓ project title or number <br /> ✓ location of sample collection <br /> ✓ soil boring or well number, as applicable <br /> ✓ name of collector <br /> ✓ date and time of collection <br /> ✓ type of analysis requested <br /> 5.2 Chain-of-Custody Record and Sample Analysis Request Form <br /> A chain-of-custody record for each container or sample will be used to track possession of the <br /> samples from the time they were collected in the field until the time they are analyzed in the <br /> laboratory. <br /> W:Admin\Shells\QAQC-98.DOC <br /> 3 <br />
