Electrical Conductivity- Electrical conductivity meter. <br /> Calibration: factory-calibrated annually and periodically <br /> calibrated against laboratory prepared standard calibration <br /> solution. <br /> ' Water Temperature- Mercury thermometers . Calibration: <br /> factory-calibrated once. <br /> Combustible Gas/Oxygen- Combustible gas/oxygen meter <br /> calibration: Factory calibrated, field calibrated monthly, <br /> zeroed daily. <br /> tMiscellaneous Measuring Devices Calibration procedures for <br /> any other measuring device used will be documented at the <br /> request of the regulatory authority. <br /> ' All equipment will be checked daily and replaced as <br /> necessary. Instrument manuals and an instrument log book <br /> ' will accompany equipment into the field. Any calibration, <br /> repairs or related information will be recorded in the log <br /> book. <br /> 8.0 Laboratory QA/QC Plan <br /> Soil and groundwater samples will be submitted to a State <br /> ' Certified Hazardous Waste Laboratory for chemical analysis <br /> of hazardous constituents. Established QA/QC procedures for <br /> analytical operations will include sample custody <br /> procedures, standards of analytical accuracy, analysis of <br /> matrix spikes and method blanks, data reduction, <br /> verification of raw analytical data, and maintenance of <br /> control charts to monitor analytical performance. These <br /> ' QA/QC procedures are outlined in the laboratory QA/QC Plan <br /> which is available upon request. Organic chemical analyses <br /> will be performed in conformance with standard procedures <br /> established by the United States Environmental Protection <br /> Agency (EPA) in "Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for <br /> the Analysis of Pollutants Under the Clean Water Act" (40 <br /> ' CFR Part 136, October 1984 ) . The laboratory is <br /> periodically evaluated through external performance audits <br /> conducted by EPA and DHS using QC labs. The specific <br /> analytical methods to be utilized for purgeable and <br /> ' semivolatile hydrocarbons analyses are shown on Table 2. <br /> Provided the data base as of sufficient size, statistical <br /> ' techniques may be employed for data validation. <br /> 1 <br />
