As specified in The General QAPP for Long Island Sound Volunteer Coastal Monitoring, the following instrument/equipment testing, inspection, and maintenance procedures shall be followed by the Monitoring Program (check all that apply): We do not utilize any equipment or instruments. Maintenance shall occur as required. Records of equipment inspection, maintenance, repair and replacement be kept in a logbook (hard copy or digital, with back-ups). A summary of testing, inspection, and maintenance procedures for instruments and equipment is provided in Table 10. Detailed testing, inspection, and maintenance procedures are described in SOPs contained in Appendices A and C.
