Description
Excerpt: PROJECT SUMMARY An adequate quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program requires the identification and quantification of all sources of error associated with each step of a monitoring program so that error, or variance, include analysis, and residual error. the resulting data will be of known quality. The components of those associated with sampling, sample preparation, extraction, In the past, major emphasis often has been placed on QA/QC aspects of sample analysis and closely associated operations such as sample preparation and extraction. For monitoring a relatively inhomogeneous medium such as soil, the sampling component of variance will usually significantly exceed the analysis component. Thus, in this case a minimum adequate QA/QC plan must include a section dealing with soil sampling. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance in QA/QC aspects related to soil sampling.
