Field Documentation. Proper field documentation ensures that field activities are conducted in an accurate, methodical, and reproducible manner and that sample integrity is maintained from the time of collection through transport, storage, and chemical analysis. Field personnel will record all field data in a bound logbook dedicated to the xxxxxxxxxx project. When contemporaneous activities are being conducted at a xxxxxxxxxx site, more than one field logbook may be required. A new page shall be used for field note entries. DEQ does not require a standard format for daily field note entries, however the following elements must be included with The date; The project location; Weather conditions and temperature; Names, affiliations, and roles of all personnel onsite; Field instruments being used and calibration records, if applicable; Levels of personal protective equipment (PPE) being used; Any deviations from planned field activities; References to other field forms used; References to any photographs taken, including the location, photographer, date and time, direction, and a description of each photograph; Pertinent conversations with any site visitors (DEQ staff, property owners, citizens, etc.); Detailed descriptions of each task undertaken for the day, including starting and ending times for each task, lunch and other break times, and any work stoppages.

Regardless of the format, the following information shall be recorded when describing sampling activities: Sample location descriptions; Unique sample IDs; Collection times; Designation of the sample as a grab or composite sample; Media of the sample; Environmental measurement data (pH, temperature, specific conductivity, turbidity, etc.); Field observations (odors, color, etc.); Type of preservative used; Instrument readings, if applicable. At the end of each day of field activities, the following information shall be recorded in the field logbook: A description of decontamination procedures used (equipment and personnel); A description of any investigation-derived wastes (IDW) and how they were handled; A summary of which planned activities were completed and which were not; T A summary of any activities that were conducted after departure from the site (paperwork, sample packing a...
