For the first sampling triip, Halepaska & <br />Associates and or BMRI provided the sample containers, DI water, coolers and <br />chain-of-custody forms. <br />2) Observe BMRI/contractor collect samples and filter sample, where necessary. <br />3) Record field data in notebook and note any deviations from sampling protocol. <br />4) Label sample bottles. <br />5} Accept a split from BMRI/contractor and place sample bottle in iced cooler. Record <br />the type, volume, preservation and number of each sample type collected in the field <br />notebook. <br />6) Observe decontamination procedures. <br />7) Fill out chain-of-custody forms. <br />8) Check to see the information on the forms and on the sample containers matches. <br />9) Check information on bottle labels and ensure container is full and tightly sealed. <br />Check for presence of all QC samples. Maintain samples on ice. <br />10) Dispatch samples to laboratory and sign over chain-of-custody forms. <br />11) Receive analytical results from the laboratory. <br />12) Verify laboratory analyses. Check for the following items: <br />• Analysis performed as requested <br />• Correct analytical method used <br />• Holding times not exceeded <br />• Laboratory QC samples acceptable <br />
