To the maximum extent achievable, as few people as possible sljou).d handle a sample. 2. Stream and effluent samples should be obtained using stan- dard field sampling techniques and.preservation procedures. 3. Chain of Custody tags (Txhibit 1) should be attached to each sample at the time it is collected. There are three (3) types of tags which are distinguished by the type sample collected and the standard analyses requested. The three (3) types are municipal, industrial, and heavy metals. Each set is numbered serially with tvio (2) le t-ter,; and four (4) numbers. 'i'he letters are "D;U" for municipal samples, "I:" for industrial samples and "IIM" for heavy metal samples. Each tag is made up of three (3) basic parts. Part A contains iclentification information such as District, County, Basin, Discharger Name, Plant Name, Permit Number, and Page Number. Additionally, collection information, observations, chlorine contact time and shipping information is included here. The spaces inside the heavy black line are for the results Of field analyses and some extra spaces have been provided for additional parameters as necessary. Each parameter field comprises the parameter name, .a five (5) digit parameter code, and a nine (9) digit parameter value. 13oth the parameter name and the parameter code must be used in all cases. Part B of the tag contains basically laboratory information; however, certain identifying items including District, Type Sample, Material sampled, and Method of Preservation must be completed by the field personnel collecting the sample. The area inside the heavy black line is reserved for the results of the analyses performed by the laboratory. (The field staff must at no time enter the results of any field analyses.on this part of the tag.) if additional analyses are needed, these should be added in the provided spaces using both parameter name and code number. Analyses not required should be struck out by field personnel. The back of Part B of the tag is a shipping - sealing certification and should be completed by field personnel before the sample is sealed and shipped. Part C of the tag is a sample identifier which is to remain with the sample until all analyses are completed. District Number should be rccordrel ill the space provided. tionally',"•-a seal. to be placed .Arolinrl tlic closure of the samnl container to further insure the intcgri.t.y of tha sample is provided. Attached is a rerox copy of a municipal tag with Parts A, 13 and C labeled plus a copy of the sea].. In completing the chain of custody tag care should be utilized to insure that all necessary information is correctly and legibly entered onto the tag. A black ballpoint with waterproof ink, should be used at all times. After the tag is completed by field personnel, Parts A, B and C should remain attached to the sample, the sample scaled, and then delivered to the district office. To seal the sampld, the Chain of Custody Tag should be tied to the "cubitainer" below the flange so that the tag cannot be inadvertantly removed. Secondly, the nylon cord should be looped around the throat of the c:ubitainer just: below the lid. Once this is done, the throat of the cubi.tainer should be wrapped with a seal that is completed with the signature of the person sealing the sample and the date the sample was sealed. Care should be utilized in sealing the sample to insure the sample cannot be tampered with, without-- being detectel. At the laboratory, part B of the tag will be completed. part C of the tag is to remain with the remnants of the sample until it is disposed of. In completing the tag, several items should be watched very carefully. First, each value entered on the tag should be right justified in the spaces provided. Secondly, if a decimal, point is needed in the value it should occupy one entire space of the value field. Where a decimal point is preprinted on the form, it should be observed. Thirdly, in the space labeled "Card Type ", the letter B should always be used to enter new data to the file. Should it become necessary to change or delete any data in the file, special forms will be provided specifically for these purposes. 13y following this procedure and using these tags legal requirements will be fulfilled, extraneous paper work, and mistakes avoided. A. if more than one container of the same effluent or stream segment is obtained, an identification tag need only be attached to each additional sample. The auxiliary tag(s) must contain the following information: a. Sample number of the primary, Chain of Custody tag b. Date and time sample was collected c." Source of sample c. Preservative used •< c- e, Name of collector f. sample analysis desired After attaching each auxiliary tag, each sample container will be sealed, in accordance with the procedure as described above in item 3. Transfer_ of Custody and Shipment: 1. All samples should be handled by tl,e minimum possible number of persons. 2. All incoming samples shall be received only by the custodian, or his alternate, and .logged into a record book (Log Book)• custodian should sign on the "Receipt: of Sample" portion of the Chain of Custody record tag - Part 13. Information to be entered into the Log Book should include the sample number., date received, source, time(s) sampled, date(s) sampled and analyses requested. Parts A and B of the tag are to be removed by the custodian and given to the records clerk. 3. Promptly after logging, the custodian will distribute the sample to an analyst or place the sample in the sample room, which will be locked at all times except when samples are removed or replaced by analysts. A. The custodian shall ensure that heat - sensitive or light - sensitive samples, or other sample materials having unusual physical characteristics, or requiring special handling, are properly stored and maintained. 5. Samples shall be kept in the sample storage security area at all times when not actually being used by analysts, such as during overnight absences. 6. Numbered accountable data cards will be used by the analysts for recording identifying information describing each sample (by origin and sample identification number), the procedures per.fo,:med and the results of the testing. The data cards must be signed and dated by the person performing-the tests and retained as a permanent record in the laboratory. 7. Test results shall be entered on Part B of the original Chain of Custody tag. The original shall be given to the district office for reproduction. The laboratory will then be furnished with this reproduced copy.
