3.6.1
Laboratory Analytical Requirements
The Contractor shall provide the specified chemical analyses by the
Contractor's laboratory. The Contractor shall provide chemical analyses to
achieve the project DQO for all parameters specified by the methods. To
give the USACE programs the greatest flexibility in the execution of its
projects, the EPA SW-846.3-3 methods are generally the methods employed for
the analytical testing of environmental samples. These methods are
flexible and shall be adapted to individual project-specific requirements.
3.6.2
Laboratory Performance
The Contractor shall provide continued acceptable analytical performance
and shall establish a procedure to address data deficiencies noted by
review and/or quality assurance sample results. The Contractor shall
provide and implement a mechanism for providing analytical labs with the
SAP or QAPP portion of the SAP, for monitoring the lab's performance and
for performing corrective action procedures. The Contractor shall acquire
analytical services with additional [USACE] [State of [_____]] validated
laboratories in the event a project lab loses its validation status during
the project.
3.7
CHEMICAL DATA FINAL REPORT
The CDFR shall be produced including a summary of quality control practices
employed and all chemical parameter measurement activities after project
completion. As a minimum, the CDFR shall contain the following:
a.
Summary of project scope and description.
b.
Summary of any deviations from the design chemical parameter
measurement specifications.
c.
Summary of chemical parameter measurements performed as contingent
measurements.
d.
Summary discussion of resulting data including achieving data
reporting requirements.
e.
Summary of achieving project specific DQO.
f.
Presentation and evaluation of the data to include an overall
assessment on the quality of the data for each method and matrix.
g.
Internal QC data generated during the project, including tabular
summaries correlating sample identifiers with all blank, matrix
spikes, surrogates, duplicates, laboratory control samples, and
batch identifiers.
h.
A list of the affected sample results for each analyte (indexed by
method and matrix) including the appropriate data qualifier flag
(J, B, R, etc.), where sample results are negatively impacted by
adverse quality control criteria.
i.
Summary of field and laboratory oversight activities, providing a
discussion of the reliability of the data, QC problems
encountered, and a summary of the evaluation of data quality for
each analysis and matrix as indicated by the laboratory QC data
and any other relevant findings.
