Programmatic Sampling and Analysis Plan Project Number:60657245 management tasks are responsible for verifying the data each task generates or handles. The field and laboratory tasks ensure the verification of raw data, electronically generated data, and data on chain-of custody forms. The data management task deals primarily with electronic data. Validation and verification of data will be performed by staff using primary and peer review, followed by technical review by the AECOM project manager or designated staff. The assigned project QA Officer will be responsible for validating that the verified data are usable. The QA Officer will evaluate the data for anomalies and address any suspected errors or anomalous data before data validation can be completed. 2.4.3 Reconciliation With User Requirements Assessment of the data quality will determine if project objectives have been met. Data validation will document any data that do not meet the quality criteria and the associated effects on usability. This assessment will include deviations to the SAP, effectiveness of the data collection and generation processes, QC issues related to the laboratory analysis or sampling activities, and identify limitations to the data, including data determined to be unusable. Data that do not satisfy the DQOs will be evaluated to determine the impacts on usability and if corrective actions are warranted. Corrective measure may include resampling to ensure data are legally defensible and meet the DQOs. Data Management The project data management scheme begins in the field with initial collection of the data. All field data shall be recorded by field personnel in bound logbooks for each site or on sample collection log sheets for each sample collected at each site sample location. Pages of the logbook will be consecutively numbered. Data initially collected (i.e., depth to groundwater, temperature, electric conductivity, pH, and turbidity)shall be converted to standard reporting units and recorded in standard formats. Mistakes are lined out, initialed and correctly re-entered. Data shall be reviewed by the site project manager for clarity, completion, translation, or transcription errors. Other notes for a given project, including records of communication and meetings, are kept filed by the contractor project manager. Notes which are kept confidential are filed separately but within project files and kept in a secured location. Once the samples have been collected in the field, they will be subjected to the sample handling and custody requirements detailed in Section 8. Laboratory analytical reports will include QC results and any other necessary analytical information to enable reviewers to determine the data quality. The criteria for validation and verification is outlined in Section 2.4.1. AECOM 9
