6.1 Reporting A report including all analytical data and sampling locations, iso -concentration maps (as appropriate), conclusions and recommendations, will be submitted to the BLM, EPA, and DRMS within timeframes defined within the regulatory agencies' requirements. Data obtained from sampling and analysis procedures will be summarized in tables and supported by raw laboratory reports. Several formats may be used to present sampling results. Forms completed during the investigation may be included in appendices of the report, as necessary. More rigorous analysis of accumulated data and analytical results with the addition of iso - concentration maps will be interpreted to develop proper conclusions and recommendations, as necessary. 6.2 Training Sampling technicians will be qualified and proficient in the procedures for the work that they perform, and the use of the standard operating procedures addressed in this plan. The training requirements are listed in Appendix D. It is important to note that the requirements may not be the same for every sampling technician. Personnel should be notified of the training requirements prior to sampling and that the training is properly documented. 7 Quality Assurance and Quality Control The objective of data collection and sample quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) measures are to provide systematic control of the tasks to maximize accuracy, precision, comparability, and completeness. Field measurements will be checked by the field personnel prior to leaving a sample site and later by NS oversight personnel. All laboratory procedures will be checked for accuracy through internal laboratory QC checks such as the analysis of blind duplicates, splits, matrix spikes, surrogates, and known standards. Sample preservation will consist of storing the samples in a cooler with ice during field sampling, sample packaging, and shipping. All QA/QC protocols to be followed are described in the QAPP found in Appendix E. Daub personnel will provide final QA/QC measures as data is presented. 7.1 Documentation A Water Sampling Field Data Form similar to the example found in Appendix D will be used at each location to record and document sample collection, field measurement data, sampling equipment used, and instrument calibration information. The form will be completed following the protocol specified in Section B.1, "Standard Practice for Field Documentation Processes," in Appendix B. Deviations from the procedures specified in this plan will be documented as a field variance on the Field Data Form. Field data shall be reviewed and signed off on by the NS field supervisor or qualified oversight personnel. Daub & Associates, Inc. 10 NS LLC 2015 S A P Rev. 2
