SAMPLE CUSTODY <br /> This section describes standard operating procedures for sample custody and custody <br /> documentation. Sample custody procedures will be followed through sample collection, <br /> transfer, analysis, and ultimate disposal. The purpose of these procedures is to assure that <br /> (1) the integrity of samples is maintained during their collection, transportation, and storage <br /> prior to analysis and (2) post-analysis sample material is properly disposed of. Sample <br /> custody is divided into field procedures and laboratory procedures, as described below. <br /> D.1 Field Custody Procedures <br /> Sample quantities, types, and locations will be determined before the actual fieldwork <br /> commences. As few personnel as possible will handle samples. The field sampler is <br /> personally responsible for the care and custody of the collected samples until they are <br /> properly transferred. <br /> D.1.1 Field Documentation <br /> Each sample will be labeled and sealed properly immediately after collection. Sample <br /> identification documents will be carefully prepared so that identification and chain-of- <br /> custody records can be maintained and sample disposition can be controlled. Forms will be <br /> filled out with waterproof ink. The following sample identification documents will be utilized. <br /> The following sample identification documents will be utilized. <br /> Sample labels <br /> Field notebook or soil boring logs <br /> Chain-of-custody forms <br /> D.1.2 Sample Labels <br /> Sample labels provide identification of samples.
