corrective actions for the remedial activities encompasses actions by the <br /> laboratory and actions by the field staff. <br /> Field Staff Corrective Action <br /> The field staff will report field quality assurance activities on a topic-by- <br /> topic basis. In the field activities log book, the field staff will report any <br /> problems they encounter during the study affecting quality assurance. <br /> The Project Manager will be responsible for initiating and documenting <br /> the corrective actions, for ensuring that the actions take place in a timely <br /> manner, and for ensuring that the corrective actions produce the desired <br /> results. <br /> Modification, repair, rework, or replacement of nonconforming <br /> equipment, items, or activities will require the re-verification of <br /> acceptability. The Project Manager may require that corrective action be <br /> completed before site work continues. If the Project Manager feels that <br /> the non-conformance does not significantly affect the technical quality or <br /> use of the work, then the work may continue pending resolution of the <br /> nonconformance. The Project Manager must document the basis for their <br /> decisions. <br /> Analytical Laboratory Corrective Action <br /> The analytical laboratory will identify the individual serving as Quality <br /> Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Coordinator who is responsible for <br /> assessment of quality control sample information. If QC data falls outside <br /> accepted limits, the QA/QC Coordinator must immediately notify <br /> operations management and the group leader responsible for the analysis. <br /> Operations management and the group leaders are responsible for <br /> identifying the source of nonconformance and initiating corrective action. <br /> If these individuals cannot or do not correct the situation, the QA/QC <br /> Coordinator must notify laboratory management. <br /> Should the analytical laboratory initiate any corrective actions, either <br /> independently or on request from the Project Manager, then the lab will <br /> provide documentation to the Project Manager as to what, if any, <br /> corrective actions were initiated concerning this study. Modification, <br /> repair, rework, or replacement of instrumentation will require <br /> reverification of acceptability. In certain instances, the Project Manager <br /> may require that the analytical laboratory complete corrective action and <br /> reverification before analytical work continues. <br /> C-5 <br />
