10. Section B. 6, Sampling Procedures; Section B. 6. 1, Field <br /> Equipment: <br /> Wipe samples are not covered by EPA Methods. The QAPP <br /> should include a detailed description or standard operating <br /> procedure (SOP) for any non-standard method to be used on <br /> the project. If a method is not an EPA Method (e.g. , OSHA, <br /> ASTM, etc. ) , a copy should be included with the QAPP. <br /> 11. Section B.8, Calibration Procedures and Frequency; Section <br /> B.8. 1, Field Equipment: <br /> The calibration of field equipment could not be evaluated <br /> since the Field Sampling Plan merely stated that equipment <br /> will be calibrated according to manufacturer' s instructions. <br /> This section of the QAPP should reiterate and summarize <br /> which field equipment needs to be calibrated. <br /> 12 . Section B.8, Calibration Procedures and Frequency; Section <br /> B.8.2, Laboratory Equipment: <br /> This section was not addressed. Calibration procedures and <br /> acceptance criteria need to be described for all the <br /> analytical methods associated with project analyses. <br /> 13 . Section B.9, Analytical Procedures: <br /> All methods to be used on the project should be listed in <br /> the QAPP, including the specific methods for metals and <br /> general chemistry parameters. <br /> 14 . Section B. 10, Data Reduction, Validation, and Reporting: <br /> This section should indicate what data will be reported by <br /> the laboratory, and define what a "standard format" will <br /> include. Section B. 10. 1. 1 indicates that data will be <br /> reviewed for outliers should be specified. Since most <br /> outlier calculations are based on statistical tests which <br /> require replicate measurements the project should ensure <br /> that sufficient data are collected to conduct the tests. <br /> If data are to be fully validated, it is recommended that <br /> EPA's "Functional Guidelines for Evaluating Organic <br /> Analyses" and "Functional Guidelines for Evaluating <br /> Inorganic Analyses" be used. It is suggested that if <br /> Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) -like packages are not <br /> provided, that Region 9 guidance in "laboratory <br /> Documentation Requirements for Data Validation, " 9QA-07-89, <br /> be followed. This is particularly important for any data <br /> requiring risk assessment. <br /> 15. Section B. 11, Internal Quality Control Checks: <br /> IV-4 <br />
