TuTu Wells Site RI
Draft Quality Assurance Project Plan
FROM: Laura Scalise, Project Quality Assurance Officer
Monitoring Management Branch
TO- Caroline Kwan, Project Manager
New York/Caribbean Superfund Branch II
I have reviewed the Draft Quality Assurance Project Plan for the
TuTu Wells Site RI dated May 29, 1991. The following comments
must be addressed prior to beginning sampling and analysis
activities. If you have any questions, please call me at FTS
340-6171.
General Comment:
The laboratory is to use the latest CLP-SOW for the VOA analyses:
OLM01.7 (3/90 plus revisions)
It was brought to my attention by the prime contractor that the
laboratory, ENSECO East of Somerset NJ, is contracted through the
CLP for OLMOl.l.l. Even though the latest revision of the SOW is
OLM01.7, we will accept OLMOl.l.l for this project. The
differences between the two revisions are not analytically
significant.
6.4 Sample Shipment Procedures, page 6-4:
1. 
Use nylon strapping tape to seal the cooler closed during
shipment to the laboratory.
2. 
All samples are to be shipped daily to the laboratory via an
overnight courier.
9.1 Data Validation/ page 9-1:
1. 
All of the VOA data must be validated according to the
Region II Data Validation SOP No. HW-6, revision 7, dated
