DoD Environmental Field Sampling Handbook Revision 1

Preface i

Preface

This handbook provides basic guidance for working-level environmental field sampling personnel to ensure the integrity of monitoring activities tied to regulatory reporting requirements. The handbook was developed as a tool for Department of Defense (DoD) personnel. In cases where a contractor provides environmental sampling and field testing services, the contractor is responsible for ensuring self-compliance with all environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations. In certain instances, special requirements may dictate a more rigorous detail, depending on federal, state, and local regulations. Local field sampling procedures should be compatible with the contents of this handbook. However, there is no intent for guidance herein to replace standard operating procedures, which may exist at the local level.

Issues regarding the contents of this handbook should be brought to the attention of the DoD Environ-mental Data Quality Workgroup, Field Sampling and Testing Subgroup.

The DoD Environmental Data Quality Workgroup (EDQW) developed this handbook to provide guid-ance for environmental field sampling personnel and laboratories performing services for the DoD. It is based on the Navy Environmental Compliance Sampling and Field Testing Procedures Manual (August 2009), and is expanded to incorporate DoD-wide field sampling and testing guidance. Nothing in this document relieves any field or laboratory personnel from complying with more stringent contract speci-fications, host-nation final governing standards, or federal, state, and local regulations. This handbook can and should be supplemented by project-specific requirements. The DoD EDQW strongly encou-rages project teams to involve laboratories, project chemists, and field personnel during project-planning activities. The involvement of the laboratories, field personnel, and project chemists is critical to the development of project-specific measurement performance criteria (MPC) and to the selection of methods capable of satisfying the MPC.
