TOEROEK SOP No.017,REv.2 ASSociATE5,INC RECORDING OF NOTES IN FIELD LOGBOOK I PAGE 2 1.5 REQUIREMENTS AND RESOURCES The following items are required for field notation: • Field Logbooks • Ballpoint pens with permanent ink (Rite-in-the-Rain pen optional) • 6-inch ruler (optional) Field logbooks should be bound (sewn) with water-resistant and acid-proof covers; they should have preprinted lines, wide columns, and page numbers. They should be approximately 7 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches or 8 1/2 by 11 inches in size. Loose-leaf sheets are not acceptable for field notes. If notes are written on loose paper, they must be transcribed as soon as possible into a regular field logbook by the same person who recorded the notes; a note must be made in the logbook indicating that the caption was transcribed from other notes. Logbooks can be obtained from an individual's office supply room or directly from outside suppliers. Logbooks must meet the requirements specified in this SOP and should include preprinted pages that are consecutively numbered. If the numbers must be written by hand, the numbers should be circled so that they are not confused with data. 2.0 PROCEDURES The following subsections provide general guidelines and formatting requirements for field logbooks, and detailed procedures for completing field logbooks. 2.1 GENERAL GUIDELINES • A separate field logbook must be maintained for each project. If a site consists of multiple subsites, designate a separate logbook for each subsite. For special tasks, such as periodic well water-level measurements, data from multiple subsites may be entered into one logbook that contains only one type of information. • All logbooks must be bound and contain consecutively numbered, pre-printed pages. If pre-printed page numbers are not available, sequentially number the pages and initial. • No pages can be removed from the logbook for any purpose. Unused pages should be lined through, dated, and signed.
