6. FIELD QA/QC PROGRAM<br />

The objective of the field QA/QC Program is to ensure that all field operations, sampling, and<br />

measurements produce results that:<br />

Are of known quality and in compliance with specified data quality objectives<br />

Are traceable, technically accurate, legally defensible, and have definable characteristics<br />

Fundamental mechanisms for achieving established quality goals can be categorized as prevention,<br />

quality assessment, and correction, and include the following:<br />

Prevention of errors by planning and careful selection of methods, processes, and resources<br />

Quality assessment through a program of audits and surveillance activities<br />

Correction of processes to prevent recurrence of conditions adverse to quality<br />

Incorporation of new processes as they develop to increase quality<br />

The following items are controlled activities to ensure effective implementation of the field sampling<br />

program:<br />

Written and approved SOPs for all field activities; these procedures are detailed in Appendix<br />

B of the BWP<br />

Collection of field QC samples at the required frequency; these requirements are detailed in<br />

the QAPP, Appendix C of the BWP<br />

Equipment calibration in accordance with the approved procedures and manufacturer‟s<br />

recommendation<br />

Documentation and record-keeping activities.<br />

Audits, surveillance activities, and a corrective action program.<br />

Project-specific plans will be developed based on the above guidelines and in accordance with individual<br />

project requirements. The project-specific plans will include the following items in the QA/QC program<br />

section:<br />

Identify and describe the parameters that will be controlled during field operations<br />

Identify the frequency of control checks and sources of any control materials<br />

Provide the acceptance criteria for each parameter that is controlled<br />
