wood. 4. The sample will be placed in a chest, which contains ice or blue ice if required, for transport to the laboratory. Table 1 lists common analyses performed and the appropriate storage and handling requirements. 4.0 DOCUMENTATION 4.1 FIELD DATA SHEETS A DAILY FIELD RECORD will be completed for each day of fieldwork. Locations and unique identification of soil samples collected from soil borings will be recorded on the BORING LOG or WELL LOG. Locations and unique identification of soil samples collected from excavations or stockpiles will be recorded on a DAILY FIELD RECORD, site map, and/or other appropriate form. Samples may also be recorded on a SAMPLE CONTROL LOG SHEET or in the DAILY FIELD RECORD as a means of identifying and tracking the samples. Following review by the project manager, the original field records will be kept in the project file. 4.2 CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY PROCEDURES After samples have been collected and labeled, they will be maintained under chain-of-custody procedures. These procedures document the transfer of custody of samples from the field to the laboratory. Each sample sent to the laboratory for analysis will be recorded on a CHAIN- OF-CUSTODY RECORD, which will include instructions to the laboratory on the analytical services required. Information contained on the triplicate CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY RECORD will include: • Project number • Signature of sampler • Date and time sampled • Sample I.D. • Number of sample containers • Sample matrix (soil, water, or other) • Analyses required • Remarks, including preservatives, special conditions, or specific quality control measures • Turnaround time and person to receive laboratory report • Method of shipment to the laboratory • Release signature of sampler and signatures of all people assuming custody • Condition of samples when received by laboratory (to be completed by the laboratory) Blank spaces on the CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY RECORD will be crossed out between the last sample listed and the signatures at the bottom of the sheet. The field sampler will sign the CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY RECORD and will record the time and date at the time of transfer to the laboratory or an intermediate person.
