3.0 APPENDIX C
3.1 Problem Definition
Former FlynnTan Manufacturing Company Site: The Former FlynnTan site(the"site"),
located at 70-92 Boston Street, is currently owned by the City of Salem(the City). The site is
approximately 1.9 acres in size and is bordered to the south by Boston Street and to the north by
Goodhue Street. The site currently contains four separate, vacant buildings, three of which are
enclosed by a perimeter fence with a locking gate, and the fourth is securely locked. Available
records indicate the site was historically occupied by commercial and manufacturing operations
from prior to 1900 until approximately 1999. Flynn and Sons operated a leather tannery on site
from approximately 1922 until approximately 1988. Based on an interview with Thomas St.
Pierre of the City of Salem Public Property Department, small commercial operations took place
on site until 1999, including a small metals recyclingbusiness.
Site buildings include the main factory building, a storage building, and a garage/storage shed.
The main entrance to the site is located on Boston Street. Parking areas and secondary entrances
are located to the northwest, southeast and the northeast ends of the site. To the east of the
parking area located northwest of the main building is the location of a former site building. This
area was filled in after the building was demolished, sometime after the FlynnTan factory closed
in the 1990s.
The area surrounding the site is comprised primarily of commercial and residential properties.
The North River, an inlet to Salem Harbor, is located approximately%2 mile northeast of the site.
A feeder canal to the North River runs east to west approximately 500 feet north of the site.
Salem's downtown center is located approximately 3/4 miles east of the site. Because of its prime
location, the City of Salem plans to redevelop the FlynnTan site with new buildings consisting of
mixed-use residential and retail spaces that will serve as part of a revitalized corridor
representing the"entrance"to the City.
Based on the extensive history of industrial uses including leather products manufacturing on
site, assessment of subsurface conditions at this site is warranted.
61 Ward Street Site: The 61 Ward Street site(the"site") is approximately 965 square feet in
size and is situated in a mixed residential/commercial area. The site is developed with a one-
story, vacant brick building and a small paved area. The site is bordered to the north by Peabody
Street and bordered to the south by Ward Street. A substation is located approximately 300 feet
northwest of the site, adjacent to a municipal parking lot, on the north side of Peabody Street. A
small parking lot borders the site to the west. Further west are multiple-family residential
buildings. Several commercial properties are located south of the site along Ward Street.
Directly east of the site, across the intersection of Peabody, Ward, and Congress Streets,is
Shetland Corporate Park. Salem center is located approximately'/4 mile northwest of the site.

The site was historically used for a number of commercial purposes since the late 1800s. Earliest
available information indicates a photo shop occupied the site in 1890. The building currently
occupying the site was constructed around 1920. From approximately 1937 to 1983,the site was
used for several different automotive service stations. Historical street directories for Salem
indicate site uses included gas stations until 1960,a taxi garage from 1960 to 1968, and an
automobile repair garage until approximately 1983. Tax assessor's records indicate that
Frederick D. Small took ownership of the site in 1986 and renovated the existing building for
office use.
During an August 2001 site reconnaissance, TRC observed assorted paints,maintenance supplies
and household cleaners in the storage area within the site building. A surface depression was
noted in the asphalt-paved area adjoining the west side of the building. A hydraulic lift is
believed to have been located in the former automotive repair area. A grassy area on the east side
of the building was reportedly the location of the former fuel pumping area. Based on available
information from City of Salem and Fire Department,there are no records of registered
underground storage tanks (USTs) or the removal of USTs for the site. However, due to historic,
automotive service activities,USTs are considered likely to be present at the site.
The City of Salem anticipates the 61 Ward Street site will redeveloped for uses related to a
planned urban riverfront parkway to be constructed on the adjacent properties located to the
north, along Peabody Street.
Due to the previous industrial uses of this site, including automobile repair and maintenance
activities, assessment of subsurface conditions at this site is warranted..

4.0 APPENDIX D
4.1 Project Description
The City of Salem is currently implementing a Brownfields Demonstration Pilot Program for
EPA. Portions of this program include environmental sampling of various media at selected sites
that have been identified, and may include assessment of some sites that have not yet been
identified. This Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP),which is required as part of the City's
Grant Agreement with EPA, documents proposed sampling and monitoring activities to be
implemented during the Brownfields Program. The plan describes the QA/QC procedures to be
employed to ensure the integrity,validity, and usability of the analytical results to.be provided in
support of this project.
This document was prepared in accordance with the following EPA documents:
• Quality Assurance Guidance for Conducting Brownfields Site Assessments (EPA-540-R-
98-038), dated September 1998; and
• QA/R-5,EPA Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans (EPA—240/B-01/003),
dated March 2001.
This plan defines sampling strategies,methods, and locations, analytical methods, data handling
and tracking procedures, and specific QC procedures and QA mechanisms that will be used for
this Brownfields Program. The purpose of the QAPP is to establish procedures to ascertain the
precision, accuracy and representativeness, and objectives for the collected data.
Former Flynn Tan Manufacturing Company Site:
The former FlynnTan Manufacturing Company was involved in the softening, cutting and dyeing
of leather. Potential contaminant source areas related to previous industrial use of the site
include numerous sumps and trenches, a concrete underground vault, three or more USTs,
stained surface soils, former chemical vats, and unspecified fill material, as discussed below.
Figure D-1 shows the features and layout of the site.

During operation of the tannery, various chemicals and hazardous materials were used and stored
on site in association with these processes. Former areas and structures in which hazardous
materials were used and stored included leather-processing vats, dipping tanks,tumblers, settling
tanks, storage tanks, drums and floor trenches. Two on-site USTs (one 20,000-gallon fuel oil
UST and one 9,800-gallon UST with contents not reported) are recorded in Fire Department
records for the site. Although the Fire Department records did not indicate the location of these
USTs, based on existing surficial features(e.g. the presence of fill and vent pipes,broken
pavement, etc.)it appears three USTs are located within the parking area northwest of the main
building, and additional USTs maybe located near the loading dock of the main building and
east of the storage building.
In September through November 1998, EPA conducted a Removal Action at the site to address
hazardous materials that were abandoned at the site and were considered a threat of a release.
EPA's removal action included the removal of hazardous materials located in drums and
aboveground storage tanks in the buildings, as well as the removal of liquids and sludges present
in several recessed drainage trenches and pits located below the floors of the buildings. Wastes
removed during the EPA Removal Action were disposed off site. The on-site USTs were not
addressed as part of the 1998 EPA Removal Action.
During an August 2001 site reconnaissance,TRC observed wood, glass, and metal debris on site
including a large pile of light ballasts. TRC observed approximately 20 empty drums located in
several areas around the site. An underground structure, referred to in EPA Removal Program
documents as a"sealed concrete vault", is located northwest of the main building. The contents
and/or former use of this vault structure are unknown. TRC also observed stained soils in two
locations at the site. A storm water catch basin, as well as numerous raceways and sumps, are
located on site. A former transformer pad is located on the north side of the storage building.
Potential source areas for this site are summarized in the table below and are indicated on Figure
D-1.

The following activities are planned as part of the Site investigation.
EPA File Review
A file review will be performed at the EPA Region 1 Office in Boston, Massachusetts to update
information regarding the regulatory history of the Site and to review EPA records regarding sump
and raceway contents pumped in 1998.
Geophysical Survey
A geophysical survey will be conducted at the site to evaluate the presence of potential USTs,
subsurface drainage structures,vault(s) and potential buried debris from the former site building
demolished in approximately 1988. The results of the geophysical work will be used to identify
some of the target locations that warrant subsurface investigation under the tasks described
below.
Hazardous Materials Survey
The site buildings shall be inspected for the presence of hazardous materials and/or wastes. A
complete inventory of the hazardous and potentially hazardous materials (including,but not
limited to, flammable liquids, mercury switches, PCB-containing ballasts or transformers,
suspect Iead paint, and suspect asbestos)will be compiled to evaluate the need for further testing.
Soil Borings and Monitoring Well Program
Based on information gathered during previous EPA inspections at the site, as well as data
collected during the initial stages of this assessment, a total of ten soil borings will be advanced
at the site, and seven of the soil borings will be completed as monitoring wells. Soil and ground
water samples will be collected at these locations, as described below,in order to assess the
nature and extent of subsurface contamination. Based on local topography, ground water at the
site is expected to flow in a northeasterly direction.
Soil borings/monitoring wells will be advanced in the following locations:
(1) Near the northeast edge of the former on-site building, close to Goodhue Street.
Boring to be completed as a monitoring well;
(2), (3), (4) Near each UST/potential UST area: (a)near loading dock on south side of main
building and(b)east of storage building annex and(c) in northern portion of site,
north of former site building. Three borings to be completed as monitoring wells;
(5), (6) Near sump area in main building and one near sump area in storage building. Two
borings to be completed as monitoring wells;

(7), (8) Near areas of stained soil, northeast of the main building, and northwest of storage
building annex. Two soil borings to be installed;
(9) Near the northwest end of the main tannery building, downgradient from elevator.
Boring to be completed as a monitoring well; and
(10) Near a former equipment area in the southeast portion of the storage building annex.
Soil boring to be installed.
Soil samples will be obtained continuously at two-foot intervals up to a depth of ten feet,and
every five feet thereafter until groundwater or refusal is encountered, during the advancement of
borings and/or monitoring wells. Soil samples will be screened continuously in the field for
VOCs using the jar headspace method. Immediately upon collecting the sample, TRC will pass a
photoionization detector(PID)or equivalent over the surface of the sample and note any organic
vapor readings above background. If VOC and/or VPH analysis is required, samples from each
depth interval should be immediately and carefully placed (in a manner to minimize
volatilization) in preserved vials upon collection, and then immediately placed on ice. Soil
recovered from each depth interval will be placed into stainless steel bowls using stainless steel
spoons (all equipment to be decontaminated properly prior to use).
Soil recovered from each depth interval will be placed into stainless steel bowls using stainless
steel spoons (all equipment to be decontaminated properly prior to use).
Next, soils for headspace screening will be transferred for each depth interval into glass jars
(>_goz.) and capped with foil followed by a screw-on lid. Then, samples will be containerized
from remaining soils for each depth interval for other potential soil analyses, and immediately
placed on ice. After at least 30 minutes, soil headspace readings will be obtained by removing
the sample caps from each jar and inserting a PID or equivalent through the foil to measure the
organic vapor concentration in the headspace. All soil headspace readings will be recorded.
Based on field observations.(e.g., visual and/or olfactory evidence of contamination) and jar
headspace screening results,TRC will select the specified number of soil sample(s)from each
boring and/or monitoring well to be submitted to an off=site laboratory for analysis.
Unless otherwise noted, one soil sample from each of the ten proposed soil borings and/or
monitoring wells will be submitted to a Massachusetts-certified laboratory for VOCs, VPH,
EPH, Metals,pH and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) analyses. The soil samples collected
from borings in the vicinity of the former on-site building,potential USTs, and subsurface
drainage structures (described under items 1 through 6, above)will also be analyzed for SVOCs
and total cyanide. The soil samples collected from borings in the vicinity of the freight elevator
and the observed stained soil areas (described under items 7 through 9, above)will also be
analyzed for PCBs. If elevated chromium concentrations are detected in soil samples (i.e., above
MCP reportable concentrations) and if the pH and ORP analyses reveal the presence of an
oxidizing environment, then these samples will subsequently be analyzed for hexavalent
chromium.

Ground water samples collected in each of the seven monitoring wells installed at the site will be
submitted to a Massachusetts-certified laboratory for VOCs, VPH, EPH, Metals and Cyanide
analyses. In addition,the ground water samples collected from the two monitoring wells installed in
the vicinity of the subsurface drainage structures and the freight elevator(described above under
items 5,6 and 9)will be submitted for SVOC analysis. The ground water sample collected from the
monitoring well near the freight elevator will be also analyzed for PCBs.
Ground Water Elevation Survey and SPH Measurements
Following the installation and development of the monitoring wells,the wells will be surveyed to an
arbitrary site datum,depth to ground water readings will be recorded, and the wells will be gauged
for the presence of separate phase hydrocarbons(SPH). The survey information,in conjunction with
the depth to ground water readings, will be used to evaluate shallow ground water flow across the
Site.
Phase II Report
A Phase II report will be prepared which will include a summary of the work conducted,site history,
and site testing results based on TRC's proposed work. Further information concerning the Phase H
report is provided in Section 16 (Appendix P).
61 Ward Street Site:
The existing site building was constructed around 1920. Prior to 1920, site uses reportedly
included residential uses, and use as a photo shop for an unreported period of time around 1890.
From approximately 1937 to 1983, the site was used as an automotive garage, and occupied by
gasoline service stations until 1960, a taxi garage from 1960 to 1968, and an automobile repair
garage until.approximately 1983. In approximately 1986,the site was remodeled into a
maintenance office and storage space related to the adjacent apartment buildings along Ward
Street. Soon thereafter,the site was vacated and has reportedly remained vacant since.
The on-site building,during its previous use as an automotive garage,was described by
neighboring business occupants as including a hydraulic lift in the main entrance area facing
eastward. The currently existing grassy area, located east of the main entrance,was the location
of the former fuel pumping area. Based on available information from City of Salem Fire
Department, there are no records of registered USTs or the removal of USTs from the.site.
However, due to historic,automotive service activities,USTs are considered to be present at the
site. During a recent site visit on March 23, 2004,TRC observed a potential petroleum-storage
fill cap in the sidewalk along Ward Street(along the southern site boundary).
Potential source areas for this site are summarized below and are indicated on Figure D-2.

Hazardous Materials Survey
The site building shall be inspected for the'presence of hazardous materials and/or wastes. An
inventory of hazardous materials (including, but not limited to, flammable liquids, mercury
switches, PCB-containing ballasts or transformers, suspect lead paint, and suspect asbestos) will
be compiled to evaluate the need for further testing.
Soil Borings and Monitoring Well Program
Based on observations and historic information gathered during the initial stages of this
assessment, three soil borings will be advanced at the Site and completed as monitoring wells.
Based on local topography, ground water at the site is expected to flow in a northerly direction.
Soil and ground water samples will be collected in each of the boring/monitoring well locations
in order to assess the nature and extent of subsurface contamination.
Soil borings/monitoring wells will be advanced in the following locations:
(1) near the northwest corner of the site, in a location interpreted to be downgradient from the
surface depression in the asphalt-paved area on the site;
(2) north of the site building, near Peabody Street, in a location interpreted to be
downgradient from the former automobile service area and potential hydraulic lift(s); and
(3) in the northeast portion of the site, in a location interpreted to be downgradient from the
former gasoline fill pumps.
Soil samples will be obtained continuously at two-foot intervals up to a depth of ten feet,and
every five feet thereafter until groundwater or refusal is encountered, during the advancement of
borings and/or monitoring wells. Soil samples will be screened continuously in the field for
VOCs using the jar headspace method. Immediately upon collecting the sample TRC will pass a
photoionization detector(PID) or equivalent over the surface of the sample and note any organic
vapor readings above background. If VOC and/or VPH analysis is required, samples from each
depth interval should be immediately and carefully placed(in a manner to minimize
volatilization) in preserved vials upon collection, and then immediately placed on ice. Soil
recovered from each depth interval will be placed into stainless steel bowls using stainless steel
spoons (all equipment to be decontaminated properly prior to use).
Next, soils for headspace screening will be transferred for each depth interval into glass jars
(>_Soz.) and capped with foil followed by a screw-on lid. Then, samples will be containerized
from remaining soils for each depth interval for other potential soil analyses, and immediately
placed on ice. After at least 30 minutes, soil headspace readings will be obtained by removing
the sample caps from each jar and inserting a PID or equivalent through the foil to measure the
organic vapor concentration in the headspace. All soil headspace readings.will be recorded.
Based on field observations(e.g.,visual and/or olfactory evidence of contamination)and jar

headspace screening results, TRC will select the specified number of soil sample(s)from each
boring and/or monitoring well to be submitted to an off-site laboratory for analysis.
One soil sample from each boring will be selected for submittal to a Massachusetts-certified
laboratory for analysis of VPH, EPH, and metals. In each boring, one sample may also be
selected based on field observations and headspace readings and submitted for VOC analysis.
The soil sample collected in the boring located downgradient from the former vehicle
maintenance area(north of the site building) will also be submitted for PCB analysis.
Ground water samples will be collected from each of the three monitoring wells and submitted-to
a Massachusetts-certified laboratory for VPH, EPH and metals analyses.
Ground Water Elevation Survey and SPH Measurements
Following the installation and development of the monitoring wells, the wells will be surveyed to
an arbitrary site datum, depth to ground water readings will be recorded, and wells will be
gauged for the presence of SPH. The survey information, in conjunction with the depth to ground
water readings, will be used to evaluate shallow ground water flow across the Site.
Phase II Report
A Phase II report will be prepared which will include a summary of the work conducted,site history,
and site testing results based on TRC's proposed work. Further information concerning the Phase H
report is provided in Section 16(Appendix P).

5.0 APPENDIX E
5.1 Sampling Design
Field work will be performed in accordance with TRC's Standard Operating Procedures(SOPS),
which are attached to this document. TRC will enlist the services of a qualified drilling
subcontractor to advance soil borings and install ground water monitoring wells as set forth in
Appendix D, the Project Description. Each boring and/or well will be advanced using either the
hollow-stem auger technique or a GeoProbe. TRC will be responsible for the collection of soil
samples for field screening and laboratory analysis during boring and well placement activities.
GeoProbe sampling will be performed in accordance with the MADEP Standard References for
Monitoring Wells, Supplement for Small Diameter Driven Wells.
Soil samples will be collected continuously at two-foot intervals to a depth of ten feet. Below ten
feet, samples will be collected at a minimum of five-foot intervals. Samples will be screened
using a PID, or equivalent, and any odors or visual indication of contamination will be noted.
Equipment will be decontaminated between soil borings to reduce the possibility of cross-
contamination.
Based on jar headspace screening observations, one soil sample from each of the borings will be
selected for laboratory analysis. If no indications of possible contamination are observed, one
soil sample will be collected immediately above the ground water interface and submitted for
analysis. Soil samples from the borings will be submitted to a Massachusetts-certified laboratory
for analysis.
Ground water monitoring wells will be constructed of two-inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC. The
pipe sections will be threaded screw type, eliminating the rieed for solvent-based glue. Each well
will have a 10-foot, 10-slot (0.010-inch machine slotted) screen section placed so as to extend
above and below the upper surface of the water table. A sand pack will be placed around the
screen extending to a level approximately one foot above the top of the screen. A bentonite seal
approximately two feet thick will be placed above the sand pack in order to seal off the screened
portion of the well from the overlying strata. The remainder of the well annulus will be filled
with a cement/bentonite grout to ground surface. A locking steel protective cover will be
installed over the top of the wells and the cap will be flush with the ground surface for any wells
located in paved areas.
After installation, each well will be developed by removing at least three well volumes by
purging with a submersible or peristaltic pump. Headspace measurement of VOCs will be made
on purged ground water using the field screening equipment. If the headspace VOC reading
exceeds 10 parts per million(ppm),the purge water will be drummed or containerized until the
ground water sample test results are obtained to evaluate disposal options. If the headspace VOC
readings are less than 10 ppm, the water will be discharged onsite.

Monitoring wells will be allowed to stabilize for a period of at least seven days prior to sampling.
At this time the water level in the wells will be surveyed in an attempt to confirm the direction of
ground water flow at the sites.
Following the well installation and development process, TRC will collect ground water samples
from each monitoring well to determine whether Site use has impacted ground water conditions
at the Site. Samples will be obtained using low-flow sampling techniques. TRC will submit.the
ground water samples to a laboratory for chemical analysis. Prior to ground water sample
collection, TRC will also measure water levels to assist in data interpretation. TRC will measure
well casing elevations and prepare a Site sketch with taped distance measurements for use in
drafting an approximated ground water contour plan.
All soil and ground water samples from the Site will be placed on ice, kept cool (4°C±2'Q and
will be delivered to an off-site laboratory following proper chain-of-custody procedures. A trip
blank and field duplicate samples will also be collected to provide quality assurance/quality
control data.
5.2 Equipment Decontamination Procedures
All major decontamination of downhole and excavation equipment will be conducted at a
designated decontamination area(s). When appropriate, drill rigs will be steam cleaned and
drilling equipment will be decontaminated prior to moving. Drilling equipment used for multiple
boreholes will be decontaminated by steam cleaning prior to beginning each boring. (Split-
spoons should be made of stainless steel,but carbon steel is acceptable if it is rust-free.)
Minor decontamination such as cleaning of sampling equipment will be performed at each
sampling site. Smaller sampling equipment such as split spoons, stainless steel or Teflon
spatulas and stainless steel mixing pans will be decontaminated using the following procedures:
• Wash and scrub with low-phosphate detergent in tap.water;
• Rinse with deionized water;
• Rinse with nitric acid(10%nitric acid for stainless steel equipment and 1%nitric acid on
all other equipment);
• Rinse with pesticide-grade methanol;
• If oily, rinse with pesticide-grade hexane;
• Air dry- on clean polyethylene sheeting;
• Rinse with deionized water;
• Air dry-on clean polyethylene sheeting;
• Wrap in aluminum foil, shiny side out for transport; and
• Clean equipment may rest on-but never be wrapped in- clean polyethylene sheeting.
Soils(excess sample volume, auger cuttings, etc.)will be returned to their place of origin(either
placed inside of the boreholes or dispersed near the borehole location). The PID and visual
observations will be used to determine if residuals require further handling and disposal

(e.g., off-site disposal as RCRA wastes). Residuals screened for disposal as a hazardous material
will be properly disposed of by the City of Salem.

11.0 APPENDIX K
11.1 Sample Handling and Custody Requirements
The purpose of chain-of-custody procedures is.to document the identity of the sample and its
handling from its first existence as a sample until analysis and data reduction are completed.
Custody records trace a sample from its collection through all transfers of custody until it is
transferred to the analytical laboratory. Internal laboratory records then document the custody of
the sample through its final disposition.
All materials such as field and laboratory notebooks and logbooks, field and laboratory data
records, correspondence,reports, chain-of-custody records and instrument printouts will be
clearly labeled with the project number and become a permanent part of the project file.
11.1.1 Field Sampling Operations
Preprinted sample identification labels will be used to ensure that the required information is
entered in the field. Each collected sample shall have a completely filled-in sample label
securely attached. In addition,the sample identification number will be marked on the container
with a permanent marker so that the sample can be properly identified even if the label is
separated from the sample.
Figure K-1 shows the general sample label and custody seal that will be used to identify and seal
samples in the field. Figure K-2 shows a general use chain-of-custody record. This two-part
form will be used to document sample transfer in the field, from sampling personnel to the
analytical laboratory.
The Field Team Leader will coordinate the packing and shipment of all samples.
TRC intends to ship all samples via a courier service or an overnight delivery service within 24
hours of collection.

Il.l.2 Sample Identification
Each separate sample will be identified using the sample label shown in Figure K-1. The
sampler will complete all information, using a black waterproof pen, as follows:
A. The"Sample Number"will be the number assigned to the particular sampling
station, including the depth of sampling, if relevant.
Example:
Sample`B2-2-4"indicates that the sample was taken from Boring No. 2 at the 2-4
foot interval; and
Sample"MW-1"indicates that the sample is aground water sample taken from
Well Location No. 1.
B. The"Client/Source and Site Name"for a particular sampling event.
Example: Salem Brownfields, 242 Water Street
C. The"Analysis"will be indicated for each sample.
Example: VPH
D. The"Preservative"will be indicated for each sample.
Example: Methanol
E. The"Date"will be the date the sample was collected,using the format:
MM-DD-YY.
Example: 04-16-04
F. The"Time"will be the time the sample was collected,using military time.
Example: 14:30
G. The sampler's name will be printed in the"Coll.By'section.
H. The sampler will check off grab or composite box.

Prior to going to the field,this sample identification procedure will be further refined(if
necessary), so that a sample is accurately and easily identified.
This sample label contains the authoritative information for the sample. Inconsistencies with
other documents will be settled in favor of the vial or container label'unless otherwise corrected
in writing from the field personnel collecting samples.
All samples analyzed by the laboratory are to be considered to be of an evidentiary nature. The
possession of samples must be traceable from the time samples are collected in the field until the
analysis is completed and the data are entered as evidence: The tracing of the samples is
accomplished by"chain-of-custody"procedures as follows:
1) A chain-of-custody record(Figure K-2) will be completed for each set of samples.
' 2) Samples will not leave custody of the field investigator until relinquished to
another party.
Custody is defined as:
Ij In actual physical possession of field personnel.
2) Ia the field personnel's view after being in physical possession.
3) In a locked area after being in physical possession.
I
4) In a designated, locked storage area.

11.2 Laboratory Operations
All samples submitted to the analytical laboratory selected for the project will be brought to the
sample bank manager,who will continue the.chain-of-custody by assigning a unique control
number to each sample on receipt; this number identifies the sample through all further handling.
The sample will be recorded in a Master Sample Log under its control number. Each sample
entry in the Master Sample Log has the following information:
i
• Laboratory Control Number;
• Sample description;
Sample condition;
Signature of person completing sample record; and
• Date of sample receipt:
Samples shall be stored in locked storage areas with provision for hazardous material storage.
The sample bank manager will store each sample in the appropriate area under the laboratory's
unique control number.
The sample bank manager will initiate a log entry for each sample in the Master Sample Log and
ensure that handling of each sample is appropriately documented. Each analyst working with the
sample will first go to the sample bank manager and record in the Master Sample Log actions
taken on the sample, thereby maintaining the chain-of-custody of the original sample.
Project samples will be disposed of in an appropriate manner by the laboratory.

14.1 Data Management and Documentation
14.L1 Field Log Book Records
All information pertinent to sampling(including instrument calibration data)will be recorded in
a logbook. This book will be bound,preferably with consecutively numbered pages. Entries in
the logbook will be made in black ink and will include, at a minimum, a description of all -
activities, individuals involved(sampling and oversight), date and time of sampling, weather
conditions, any problems, and all field measurements.
Sufficient information will be recorded during the sampling trip to permit reconstruction of the
sampling without reliance on the collector's memory. Shelf life,lot numbers,manufacturer, and
expiration dates of buffer and standard solutions used for calibration of field instrumentation will
be recorded.
14.L2 Laboratory Data Package Deliverables
The data packages from the analytical chemistry laboratories will consist of full deliverables,
including all QC and raw data.

15.0 APPENDIX O
15.1 Assessment and Response Actions
The project Quality Assurance Program includes performance audits as independent checks on
the quality of data obtained from sampling, analysis, and data gathering activities. Either type of
audit.may show the need for corrective action.
Performance Audits: The sampling,analysis, and data handling segments of a project are
checked in performance audits. -
EPA Quality Control Concentrates and MIST Standard Reference Materials will be used to assess
the analytical work. The laboratory QC Coordinator will direct the inclusion in the sample load
of QC samples appropriate to the analyses performed in each batch of 20 or fewer samples. In
addition,any appropriate interlaboratory study samples, which are available during this program,
will be analyzed to further audit the analytical work.
Immediate Corrective Action: Corrective action for analytical work will include recalibration
of instruments,reanalysis of known QC samples and,if necessary, of actual field samples.
Specific QC procedures and checklists will be in use by the analytical laboratory, designed to
help analysts detect the need for corrective action. Often the person's experience will be valuable
in alerting the operator to suspicious data or malfunctioning equipment.
If an immediate corrective action can be taken, as part of normal operating procedures, the
collection of poor quality data can be avoided. Instrument and equipment malfunctions are
amenable to this type.of action and the QC procedures include troubleshooting guides and
corrective action suggestions. The actions taken will be noted in field or laboratory notebooks,
but no other formal documentation is required,unless further corrective action is necessary.
These on-the-spot corrective actions are an everyday part of the QA/QC system.
Corrective action during the field sampling portion of a program is most often a result of
equipment failure or an operator oversight and may require recollection of a sample. Operator
oversight is best avoided by having field crew members audit each other's work before and after
a test. Every effort will be made by the Field Team Leader to ensure that all QC procedures are
followed.
If potential problems are not solved as an immediate corrective action,TRC will apply
formalized long-term corrective action if necessary.
Long-Term Corrective Action: The need for long-term corrective action may be identified by
standard QC procedures, control charts,performance or system audits. Any quality problem
which cannot be solved by immediate corrective action falls into the long-term category. The
City of Salem and its contractor,TRC, will use a system to ensure that the quality problem is

reported to a person responsible for correcting it, and who is part of a closed-loop action and
follow-up plan:
The essential steps in the closed-loop corrective action system are listed below.
• Identify and define the problem.
• Assign responsibility for investigating the problem.
• Investigate and determine the cause of the problem.
• Determine a corrective action to eliminate the problem.
• Assign and accept responsibility for implementing the corrective action.
• Establish effectiveness of the corrective action and implement it.
• Verify that the corrective action has eliminated the problem.
Documentation of the problem is important to the system. A Corrective Action Request Form
will be filled out by the person finding the quality problem. This form identifies the problem,
possible causes and the person responsible for action on the problem. The responsible person
may be a laboratory analyst, field team leader,laboratory QC coordinator, or the TRC
QA Officer. If no person is identified as responsible for the action,the TRC QA Officer
investigates the situation and determines who is responsible in each case.
The Corrective Action Request Form includes a description of the corrective action planned and
the date it was taken, and space for follow-up. The TRC QA Officer checks to be sure that initial
action has been taken and appears effective and, at an appropriate later date, checks again to see
if the problem has been fully solved. The TRC QA Officer receives a copy of all Corrective
Action Request Forms. This permanent record aids the TRC QA Officer in follow-up and makes
any quality problems visible to management;the log may also prove valuable in listing a similar
problem and its solution.

17.1 Data Evaluation
a. Data Review Process
Field sampling data will be evaluated by the Field Team Leader and/or the Field QC Coordinator,
based on their judgment of the representativeness of the sample,maintenance and cleanliness of
sampling equipment, and adherence to the approved,written sample collection procedure.
The following criteria will be used to evaluate the field sampling data:
• Use of approved sampling procedures;
• Use of reagents that have conformed to QC specified criteria; and
• Proper chain-of-custody maintained.
b. Data Validation
TRC will ensure that deliverables from the laboratory will be sufficient for data validation at
another date, if needed. The data packages will be reviewed for completeness.
Validation may be performed on the data but will be limited to holding times and QC results, as
summarized on forms from the laboratory. Validation actions will be in accordance with the
Region I,EPA-New England Data Validation Functional Guidelines for Evaluating
Environmental Analyses, dated December 1996. The validation will be performed by TRC,who
is a contractor experienced in performing data validation. A memo summarizing the results of
the validation will be included in the report.

18.1 Data Usability
1
Precision: Precision will be determined by the analysis of duplicate samples (laboratory and
field) and MS/MSDs and will be expressed as the relative percent difference, (RPD)which is
determined according to the following equation:
Value 1-Value 2
Relative%difference= - x 100
Arithmetic Mean of Value 1 and 2
Accuracy: Accuracy will be determined from the analysis of surrogate spikes, laboratory control
samples and matrix spike samples whose true values are known to the analyst. Accuracy will be
expressed as percent recovery. The formulas to calculate these values are:
Percent Recovery=100 x
Measured Value
True Value
' Matrix Spike Percent Recovery=100 x (Sample conc.+spike conc.)-sample conc.
spike conc.
i
Completeness: Completeness will be reported as the percentage of all measurements made
whose'results are judged to be valid. The following formula will be used to estimate
completeness:
C=100 V
T
where:
C=percent completeness
V=number of measurements judged valid
T=total number of measurements
3
The criteria to be used for evaluating data and determination of outliers are contained in
Appendix L of this QAPP.
Discussion: The results of the data usability assessment will be discussed in TRC's project
report referenced in Appendix P. This discussion will include an assessment of measurement
error with respect to either field sampling or analytical testing activities. This will be
accomplished by performing a cursory scan of critical data quality parameters such as cooler

temperature, sample holding times, surrogate recoveries, etc. An opinion statement will be
included describing whether identified problems have a major or minor impact on data usability,
and whether or not data quality objectives were achieved. A discussion will be included in the
final report that will assess precision, accuracy and completeness and how these parameters
affect the usability of the data.
