B.1. Standard Practice for Field Documentation Processes <br /> B.1.1. Scope <br /> This standard practice covers reproducibility, legibility, accuracy, completeness, protection, <br /> identification, and error correction of records. The practice describes the control, data entry, <br /> content, review, and storage of field documents such as field notebooks, data sheets, and other <br /> records. <br /> B.1.2. Terminology <br /> Records — Information or data on a specific subject collected and preserved in writing, <br /> electronic format, or other permanent form that has been verified and authenticated as <br /> technically complete and correct. Records may include data sheets, logbooks, field notebooks, <br /> maps, drawings, electronic files, and photographs. <br /> Field Data Books — for purposes of this practice, technical record books will refer to log books <br /> and field notebooks or binders. <br /> B.1.3. Significance and Use <br /> This practice includes the use of field data sheets for direct data entry. Documentation of the <br /> results produced from performing tasks is necessary to provide adequate evidence of <br /> compliance with requirements, provide an adequate basis for design decisions, and document <br /> techniques and conditions of sample collection. <br /> B.1.4. General Procedures for Records <br /> All records produced from work performed must meet the following requirements: <br /> • Records must be clear, legible, and reproducible. Black ink is preferred. Reproducible <br /> photocopies of penciled documents are acceptable as records. <br /> • Errors will be corrected by lining through the incorrect entry with a single line, making the <br /> correction, and initialing and dating the correction. The erroneous information should not <br /> be obliterated or erased. <br /> • Records must specify the activity conducted and the method used, if applicable. The <br /> signature of the person who performed the work and the date it was performed must <br /> appear on each page of a record and on any attached sheets. <br /> • All data will be reviewed before personnel leave a remote site. The review will help ensure <br /> accuracy and that no additional sampling or data acquisition is required before departure. <br /> • Records must be protected against damage, deterioration, and loss while in the field and <br /> during data review. Records must be isolated from any source of contamination. <br /> • When the procedure specifies compilation of data sheets, the data must be legible and <br /> traceable to the activity, project, and method used. The person completing the data sheet <br /> will sign and date the sheet and ensure that applicable spaces are completed. A blank area <br /> Daub &Associates, Inc.
