Region 4, SESD,
Athens, Georgia
This document is one of two SOP's which contain standard
operating and field quality assurance procedures used by Region 4 field
investigators. [The other document is Ecological
Assessment Standard Operating Procedures and Quality Assurance Manual].
This document includes many changes, additions and modifications to sampling
methods and procedures contained in previous versions. The manual originated
in 1980 with the title Engineering Support Branch Standard Operating
Procedures and Quality Assurance Manual and was revised in 1986 with
the same title; revised again in 1991 with the title, Environmental
Compliance Branch Standard Operating Procedures and Quality Assurance
Manual; and revised in 1996/1997 with the title Environmental Investigations
Standard Operating Procedures and Quality Assurance Manual.
The specific procedures outlined in the manual are either based on the
experiences of Region 4 field investigators or are specifically referenced
at the end of each section. This manual is provided to each Region 4 employee
responsible for conducting field investigations for activities contained
in these Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). This is intended to be a
dynamic document and will be revised periodically as needed. Mention
of trade names or commercial products does not constitute endorsement
or recommendation for use.
