• Location to testing (site vs. off site) • Date sample sent off site • Date test results received • Site testing Inspector • Date testing completed at site • Test results and remarks 3.2.4 Soil Sample Tagging The QA/QC Inspector is responsible for maintaining sample identification for all soil samples while on site, from time of sampling through completion of testing. The QA/QC Inspector must place a sample tag on the soil sample container immediately upon sampling. The tag must remain with the soil sample throughout processing. The tag contains the following information: • Sample number • Material type • Project name and project number • Sampling inspector • Date sampled • Test(s) to be performed 3.2.5 Soil Sample Processing The QA/QC Inspector is responsible for the timely processing of soil test samples. The QA/QC Manager determines which samples are tested on site and which are tested off site. The determination is made based on manpower available, equipment available, complexity of test, and time available for results. For expediency, samples to be tested off site should be shipped the same day as they are obtained. 3.3 Field Density Tests 3.3.1 Test Numbering The QA/QC Inspector is responsible for maintaining test numbers and results for field density tests performed by the nuclear moisture density method (ASTM D2922). All other testing is identified through the sample number(Section 3.2.3). The QA/QC Inspectors will maintain field books that identify soil segments,data tested,QA/QC Inspector performing the test,and sequential test number. Each soil segment will have a series of numbers as listed below. No test number can be repeated for a given soil segment, and re-tests of failing tests must be given a letter suffix along with the original test number (i.e., re-tests for a failing Test #1201 would be: 1201 A, 1201 B, etc.). Test data and results must be filled out on the field density test form. Page 17
