ATTACHMENT B
Chain of Custody Procedures
Sample Collection
1. The the maximum extent achievable, as few people as possible
should handle a sample.
2. Stream and effluent samples should be obtained using standard
field sampling techniques and preservation procedures.
3. Chain of Custody tags (Exhibit 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 two (2) letters and four (4) numbers. The letters are
"MU" for municipal samples, "IN" for industrial samples and "HM" for
heavy metal samples. Each tag is made up of three (3) basic parts.
Part A contains identification 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. Both 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.
The District Number should be recorded in the space provided. Additionally,
a seal to be placed around the closure of the sample container to
further insure the integrity of the sample is provided. Attached is a
xerox copy of a municipal tag with Parts A, B and C labeled, plus a copy
of the seal.
4111110 .
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 sealed, and then delivered
to the district office. To seal the sample, the Chain of Custody
Tag should be tied to the "cubitainer below the flange so that the
tag cannot be inadvertently removed. Secondly, the nylon cord should
be looped around the throat of the cubitainer just below the lid.
Once this is done, the throat of the cubitainer should be wrapped
with
he peron sealing
the sample land athe sdate pthe esample was sealed.d with the Caretshouldsbe utilized
in sealing the sample to insure the sample cannot be tampered with,
without being detected. 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. By following this procedure and using these tags;
legal requirements will be fulfilled, extraneous paper work, and mistakes
avoided.
4. 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
d. Preservative used
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 the 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). The
custodian should sign on the "Receipt,of Sample" portion of the Chain
of Custody record tag - Part B. 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 time except when samples are removed or replaced
by analysts.
4. 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 analyst'
for recording identifying information describing each sample (by origin
and sample identification number), the procedures performed 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.
