IOMs
IOMs describe new policies, changes to existing policies or guidance, new legislation, new human health risk assessment information, etc.
- July 31, 2003, Sample Handling and Preservation Procedures; Collection Procedures for Groundwater Samples (IOM-073103). Reiterates standard industry procedures for proper collection, handling and custody of environmental samples, which apply to all samples collected under any TCEQ Remediation Division program (e.g., PST Program, Corrective Action, Voluntary Cleanup Program). Outlines a new custody procedure that must be followed when samples will not be received by the laboratory within two (2) days of sample collection. Brief discussion of previously issued TCEQ guidance ( "Consistency Memorandum", July 23, 1998) on low-flow groundwater collection and filtering.
