Conceptual Site Model - Argonne National Laboratory

WVDP Phase 1 CSAPthe course of fieldwork. An example of the chain-of-custody form to be used for the project willbe provided in the project QAPP.The individual responsible for shipping the samples from the field to the laboratory will beresponsible for completing the chain-of-custody form and noting the date and time of shipment.This individual will also inspect the form for completeness and accuracy. After the form has beeninspected and determined to be satisfactorily completed, the responsible individual will sign, date,and note the time of transfer on the form. The chain-of-custody form will be sealed in a plasticbag and placed inside the cooler used for sample transport after the field copy of the form hasbeen detached. The field copy of the form will be appropriately filed and kept at the projectpremises for the duration of the activities.In addition to the chain-of-custody form, chain-of-custody seals will also be placed on eachcooler used for sample transport. These seals will consist of a tamper-proof adhesive materialplaced across the lid and body of the coolers. The chain-of-custody seals will be used to ensurethat no sample tampering occurs between the time the samples are placed into the coolers and thetime the coolers are opened for analysis at the laboratory. Cooler custody seals will be signed anddated by the individual responsible for completing the chain-of-custody form contained within thecooler.10.3.7 Receipt of Sample FormsThe contracted laboratory will document the receipt of environmental samples by acceptingcustody of the samples from the approved shipping company. In addition, the contractedlaboratory will document the condition of the environmental samples upon receipt.10.4 Documentation ProceduresThe tracking procedure to be utilized for documentation of all samples collected during theproject will involve the following series of steps.• Collect and place samples into laboratory sample containers.• Complete sample container label information.• Complete sample documentation information in the field logbook.• Complete project and sampling information sections of the chain-of-custody form(s).Rev. 1 74
