APPENDIX C
13.1.3 Completeness
Assessment of data completeness includes the review of the following:
Required samples and analyses have been processed (both field measurements and laboratory
data)
Complete records and documentation exist for each parameter analyzed and for associated
QC samples
Specified procedures have been implemented
Electronic data packages are completed as required
Completeness will be measured as:
V
C =
T
x 100
where:
C = Completeness of data in percent
V = Number of required measurements judged valid
T = Total number of required measurements
2.40 Field Measurements
Field data will be reviewed by the Project QA Officer for accuracy, precision, and completeness, taking
into account overall objectives, background data points, and field QA/QC samples as defined in Section
4.0 of this plan. The field results will be reviewed for compliance with established QC criteria specified
in this QAPP, the FSP (Appendix A of the BWP) and any project-specific addenda. Accuracy of field
measurements will be assessed using daily instrument calibration, calibration check, and analysis of
blanks. Precision will be assessed on the basis of reproducibility by multiple readings of a single sample
and on the basis of duplicate sample readings. Data completeness will also be assessed. The equations
for calculating precision, accuracy, and completeness are presented in Section 13.1 of this plan. If
additional requirements are required for a specific project, they will be defined in the project-specific
plans.
2.41 Laboratory Data
Assessment of data in terms of the PARCC parameters is an integral part of laboratory verification
process. Laboratory data are reviewed in two stages; the first stage is at the laboratory and the second
stage by independent data validator(s).
After data have been generated by the analyst or instrument, they will be submitted to a qualified peer
(another analyst, QA Manager, group supervisor, or equivalent) for review. The initial review performed
at the laboratory is for transcription errors, calculation errors, holding times, a check for completeness,
contractual requirements, and to ensure that data meet the QC criteria established by the analytical
method. If data exceeds QC criteria, appropriate corrective actions will be implemented, if applicable. If
not, the data will be reported as such with a detailed description of the QC exceedance noted in the case
narrative.
