(Document Title, No., and Revision):
QA Plan OHE-18, Rev. 0 , Section 8, page 1: "The chain-ofcustody
of samples submitted for radionuclide and hazardous
constituent analysis must be controlled in accordance with
PNL-MA-567 procedure AD-4, Sediment Sample Chain of Custody."
PNL-MA-567, AD-4, Rev. 0 ,page 2: "Deliver the samples to the
analytical laboratory and transfer custody of the samples to
authorized laboratory personnel."
Reference Surveillance: N/A
6. Description of Deficiency:
The 40' and 60' special sediment samples to be analyzed for
radionuclide and hazardous constituents from well 299-E25-38
were delivered to US Testing without a chain-of-custody form
on approximately June 12, 1989.
Cause of Deficiency:
2.Locati
Miscommunication between sampling staff and personnel respons-
ible for transferring special sediment samples to the I
appropriate analytical laboratory. e
These samples were not intended to go to US Testing for
analysis. However, the personnel transferring the samples
inadvertently included them in a group of samples transported
there. The personnel neglected to bring the appropriate chai
of-custody form.

Evaluation and Corrective Action:
a. Effect of Deficiency on Validity and Integrity of
Project Results (Check One):
__y( None Significant Effect
Explain: Although C-of-C wasn't documented/maintained,
actual physical control of samples by PNL staff was
maintained at all times until delivery to the lab.
Sample container seals were intact upon delivery.
b. If Significant Effect, Location of Project Results
Effected: N/A
c. Corrective Action to Correct Deficiency:
In this specific case, analytical results were for
indication only and were not entered into the Hanford
Ground Water Database. Also, analytical results were
not adversely impacted. Therefore, remedial
corrective action is not deemed to be'necessary.
d. Corrective Action to Preclude Recurrence:

Comments:
This appears to be an isolated case caused by a
miscommunication. Implementation of formal correct
action measures are not felt to be necessary.
