Note Taking and Field Log Books

SOP-01: NOTE TAKING AND FIELD LOG BOOKS
1.0 Purpose
This standard operating procedure (SOP) provides programmatic criteria for the content of
field log books.
2.0 Scope
This procedure applies to all CH2M HILL personnel and subcontractors engaged in note
taking and data collection to be recorded in field log books for Galena Forward Operation
Location (FOL) project tasks. The field documentation will be recorded per the following
Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) guidance documents:
 Draft Field Sampling Guidance (ADEC, 2010)
 Site Characterization Work Plan and Reporting Guidance for Investigation of Contaminated
Sites (ADEC, 2009)
 Underground Storage Tanks Procedures Manual: Guidance for Treatment of Petroleum-
Contaminated Soil and Groundwater and Standard Sampling Procedures (ADEC, 2002)
3.0 General
An essential part of any environmental field project is proper documentation. The primary
documentation used to record site data is field log books, which describe the history of field
activities and summarize field measurements. This is necessary to demonstrate that the data
are representative and have been obtained according to required procedures. The log books
may be used as evidence in legal proceedings to defend procedures and techniques employed
during site investigations. Therefore, it is important that documentation be factual, complete,
accurate, consistent, and clear.
4.0 Document Sources
Field documents consist of the following hardcopy or electronic types:
 Field Notebooks
 Field Datasheets
 Soil Boring/Test Pit Log Sheets
 Field Calibration Sheets
 Photographs and Photographic Logs
 Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Survey Coordinate Data
 Field Instrument Data (such as water-quality instruments, photoionization devices, and
test kits)
 Laboratory Chain of Custody Forms

SOP-01: NOTE TAKING AND FIELD LOG BOOKS
 Shipping Waybill and Manifest Documents
 Any other field activity and/or field data documentation
5.0 Responsibilities
5.1 Field Team Leader
Each Field Team Leader (FTL), in conjunction with the Project Manager (PM) and Field Manager
(FM), is responsible for overall compliance with this technical procedure. The FTL, or
designee, is responsible for verifying that the data entries made in the field log books comply
with this technical procedure.
5.2 Site Personnel
All site personnel who make log book entries are required to read this procedure before
engaging in this activity. The FTL will inform personnel who will be responsible for log book
entries, care, and maintenance.
6.0 PROCEDURE
6.1 Field Notebooks
Front Cover
Field Notebooks will be bound with lined, consecutively numbered pages. Record the
following information on the outside front cover of all Field Notebooks:
 Project name (Galena FOL Site Investigation)
 Client name and contract number (AFCEE Contract Number FA8903-08-D-8769, Task
Order 0184)
 Log book activity title (such as Drilling and Soil Sampling, Groundwater Sampling, or Aquifer
Testing
 CH2M HILL project number (394439)
 Date of first and last entries in the log book (for example, July – September, 2010)
Project Reference Pages
Reserve the first couple of pages (pages 1-2) of the Field Notebook for important project
reference information, including project-related contacts (such as contact names and
phones for subcontractors, site access, project assistance, field team, and emergency use),
special instructions, and/or any other valuable reference information.
Table of Contents
The next few pages (pages 2-5; fewer for smaller Field Notebooks) will be reserved and will
consist of a Table of Contents. The following is a suggested example of the first page of the
Table of Contents.
