Programmatic Sampling and Analysis Plan Project Number:60657245 8. Sample Documentation 8.1 Field Notes As applicable, field documentation will include, but not be limited to, the following • Field notebook detailing dates and times of field work, personnel on-site (including subcontractors, client representatives, etc.), equipment used, and a summary of the activities performed • Photographs, with approval from the site • Sample COCs • Health and safety forms (daily tailgate safety meeting, job hazard analysis, etc.) 8.2 Sample Labeling A sample label will be affixed to each sample container. The label will be completed with the following information written in indelible ink: • Sample identification • Analysis requested • Preservative • Sample collection date • Sample collection time • Identification of the sampler After labeling, each sample will then be prepared for storage and shipment in accordance with the storage and preservation requirements listed for that method (see Section 4.1) and as further discussed in Section 6.3. Sample Chain-of-Custody Forms and Custody Seals AECOM will use standard sample chain-of-custody procedures to maintain and document sample integrity during collection, transportation, storage, and analysis. A sample will be considered to be in custody if one of the following statements applies: • It is in a person's physical possession or view • It is in a secure area with restricted access • It is placed in a container and secured with an official seal in such a way that the sample cannot be reached without breaking the seal The custody of a sample must be traceable from the time of sample collection to the reporting of results. Chain of custody procedures provide a mechanism for documenting information related to sample collection and handling. Completion of a chain of custody form must occur after sample collection and prior to sample shipment or release. Cross-checking the chain of custody form, sample labels, and field documentation is necessary to verify sample identification, date and time the sample was collected, the required containers and preservatives, and sample volume are in accordance with the project requirements. The chain-of-custody form will be used to document all samples collected and the analyses requested as part of this Project. Information that the field personnel will record on the chain-of- custody form includes the following: AECOM 17
