<br /> <br /> <br />3-1 <br /> <br />Section 3 <br />Training, Certification, and <br />Documentation Requirements <br />The requirements for training, certification, and documentation for the Project are summarized in <br />sections below. <br />3.1 Training Requirements <br />Field personnel who participate in data collection activities for the Project will review the SOPs and <br />QAPP and will receive instruction from the PM about proper sampling procedures. Personnel will be <br />trained prior to their initial entry to the field and biannually thereafter. Training topics will include <br />proper sampling and monitoring techniques, instrument calibration, QA/QC procedures, field notes <br />and documentation, and sample shipment to the analytical laboratory. <br />3.2 Laboratory Certification <br />Certification by the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC) is required <br />for laboratories providing analytical services for the Project. Documentation of NELAC certification <br />are provided in Appendix A. If the laboratory changes, Appendix A will be revised to include the <br />NELAC certification of the new laboratory. The laboratory PM will be provided with a copy of the SOPs <br />and QAPP and is responsible for ensuring that all analyses comply with the specified analytical <br />methods, testing protocols, and standards. <br />3.3 Documents and Records <br />Project-related documents and recordkeeping are described in the following sections. <br />3.3.1 Project Documents, Records, and Electronic Files <br />Primary documents and records that will be generated during the Project include the following: <br />• SAP. The RCQ Baseline Surface Water and Groundwater SAP, of which this QAPP is an Appendix, <br />provides detailed information on the data collection objectives, types of data to be collected, and <br />data collection methods. <br />• QAPP. The QAPP (this document) contains detailed information about QA/QC procedures and <br />DQOs for the Project. Revisions to the QAPP will be documented in writing and attached as <br />addenda to this document to provide a permanent record of the change. <br />• Field Records. Field records generated during the sampling and monitoring activities will include <br />field books, field data sheets, instrument maintenance and calibration records, COC forms, and <br />shipping receipts. Field records will be prepared and maintained in the project files and will be <br />made available for review at the request of the Agencies. <br />• Laboratory Records. In addition to analytical results, the laboratory will maintain sample receipt <br />and storage documentation, instrument calibration logs, raw data, and QC sample records for <br />the project. The records will be available for review at the request of the Agencies.
