SWAMP_SOP_Field_Data_Verification_v2.1
(PDF file)
This SOP describes the process used by both the agency responsible
for the capture and entry of Field data and Moss Landing Marine
Laboratory (MLML) Data Management Team (DMT) to verify the data
for the SWAMP database and may be used as a guide for other related
programs. |
SWAMP_SOP_Chemistry_Data_Verification_v1.1 (PDF file)
This SOP discusses the data loading and verification process for
the analytical chemistry and bacteria data files of the SWAMP database
and may be used as a guide for other related programs. |
SWAMP_SOP_Toxicity_Data_Verification_v3.1 (PDF file)
This SOP describes the process used by the Moss Landing Marine Laboratory
(MLML) Data Management Team (DMT) to verify toxicity data for the
State of California's SWAMP database and it may be used as a guide

SWAMP_SOP_Contract_Lab_Data_Verification_v1 (PDF file)
This SOP describes the process to be used by SWAMP laboratories
to verify and validate their program data batches. Data verification
ensures that reported results accurately depict work performed by
the contract laboratory. Data validation confirms that the verified
data batch meets the overall quality requirements of the SWAMP project. |
Data Classification System - In
Review, Check back later
This SOP describes the data validation by the DMT and/or SWAMP QA
Team prior to placement of data to the permanent side of the SIMS.
The classification system labels data batches as “SWAMP-compliant”
or other categories based on compliance with the QAMP and supporting
documentation. |
Data Batch Validation - In Review, Check
back later
This SOP describes the data assessment conducted by the SWAMP QA
Team. Summarily, a percentage of data from the permanent side of
the SWAMP database is collected and validated against hard-copy
documents such as the original chain-of-custody forms, bench sheets,
instrument outputs, and analytical calculations. |
SWAMP_SOP_OnSite_Lab_Audit_v8 (PDF file)
This SOP is used by the SWAMP QA Team during its audits of program
contract laboratories.
The purpose of an audit is to evaluate laboratory
practices, procedures, personnel, and facilities against the requirements
of the QAMP. |
