PMYOPIV <br /> 5. Note the address and phone number of Pinyon so that the book can be returned if lost (the stapling of a <br /> business card to the inside front cover can also utilized). Any special project requirements can also be <br /> written on one or more of these pages to remind field personnel of unique tasks, equipment or protocols. <br /> 6. Field notes are a stand-alone document of field work. A complete description of all activities should be <br /> made. If other forms are used in the field to record data, such as a boring log, soil sampling record or well <br /> sampling record, reference its use in the field book. Additionally, for all SOPS used in the field, a proper <br /> reference of each SOP should be recorded in the field book, noting the SOP #. (For example, if you are <br /> logging soil samples, note that the samples descriptions were recorded on Pinyon's standard boring logging, <br /> following SOP#4.) <br /> 7. Record events that pertain to the field work. Each day note the following observations (as appropriate): <br /> a. Date,time of arrival and departure. <br /> b. Weather (approx. temp., clouds, rain, snow,wind, etc.) <br /> c. Site conditions (abandoned, urban, rural, muddy, etc.) <br /> d. Time of day that specific events occurred. <br /> e. Other personnel on site (whether Pinyon, subcontractors, utility locators, clients or regulators) and <br /> their time of arrival and departure. <br /> f. Serial numbers of equipment used, calibration settings. <br /> g. Materials and equipment used at the site. <br /> h. Tasks which need to be completed during the next site visit. <br /> 8. Record everything that you observe or do as it occurs; write down facts. Do not write opinions or <br /> unflattering remarks which may be embarrassing if made public and be professional. Do not use the field <br /> book as scrap paper to record voice mail messages, or other unrelated information. <br /> 9. Record every visit to the field, regardless of purpose. <br /> 10. Complete sentences are usually not necessary. Abbreviations should be defined somewhere in the <br /> notebook. Units of measured parameters should appear in the field notes. Any field calibration of <br /> equipment should be described, and note the SOP followed. <br /> I I. When a mistake is made,draw a single line through the mistake, initial the mistake,and write in the correct <br /> number or word. Do not cross out anything so completely that it cannot be read. <br /> 12.
