Data Entry Quality Control. Field sheets will be organized, reviewed for completeness and placed in a labeled file folder by the team leader. The fillable PDF data collection worksheets flags entries or values that are not consistent with that expected for the metric. NHNM trained support staff will enter the data into NHNM database other than the individual who filled out the field sheet. Should any questions arise, the data entry personnel will add a note to the field sheet and contact the field team member to answer that question. When each data point from a page has been addressed, the data entry staff person will sign and date the field sheet. The NHNM Program Manager and the WPC will review all data, using standardized exported reports that identify missing values and outliers. B6 Instrument/Equipment Testing, Inspection, and Maintenance The NHNM Team Coordinator is responsible for inspecting equipment and supplies before leaving for field data collection field trips and upon return to NHNM office. The equipment used to collect physical measurements include a survey device (e.g. laser level, auto level, theodolite, or total station depending on the contractor), global positioning system unit (GPS), camera, and, if time and funding are available, soil moisture probes. For groundwater monitoring, up to ten piezometers will be installed at headwater slope wetland sites advantageous to supporting groundwater metric development. In Situ Level Troll 500, 0‐15psig level trandsducer/logger (guage pressure), ABS will be installed at each piezometer site. All field equipment will be inspected prior to each sampling trip. All instruments and equipment will be tested, inspected and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications as included in the associated instrument/equipment manual. Maintenance logs are maintained for all SWQB instruments and equipment. Consultants will use their own equipment. Results of equipment inspections will be noted in the maintenance log and/or project file. Any deficiencies in equipment will be noted and reported immediately. If condition of equipment is in doubt, it will not be used. In the event of instrument failure the NHNM Team Leader or the SWQB Technical Team Member will correct the problem, rejecting the resultant data or accepting the data with notations. B7 Instrument/Equipment Calibration and Frequency Rosgen Level 2 measurements will employ laser level or total station equipment for conducting cross‐section and longitudinal pro...
