PM2.5 Document Control and StorageRevision: 4Date: February 18, 2009Page 3 of 6Standard Operating Procedurefor Document Control and Storagefor the PM2.5 Chemical Speciation Program1.0Procedural Section1.1Purpose and ApplicabilityThe PM2.5 Chemical Speciation Program produces reports and documents, such as monthlysummary reports, monthly data reports, standard operating procedures (SOPs), QualityAssurance Project Plans (QAPPs), and special study reports. Reports, such as monthly reportsand special study reports, are numbered consecutively.The PM2.5 Financial Services Program Coordinator (FSPC) is responsible for filing andmaintaining these materials and for maintaining a log of all stored documents. The log ismaintained in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet on the FSPC’s personal computer and/or a publicdrive connected to an RTI server. An example of this log appears in Appendix A.1.2Document DistributionThe FSPC is responsible for keeping a distribution list for each document (or set of documents)that is submitted to the PM2.5 Project Officer.Final versions of the SOPs and QAPP are kept on an RTI internal server in WordPerfect,Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, or PDF format for access by all RTI/PM2.5 staff. Each time adocument is revised, the FSPC uploads the current file and deletes the previous version. All staffon the distribution list are granted read-only access to these files and may download or print thelatest version of these files at any time. Laboratory Supervisors are responsible for ensuring thatthe latest versions of the QAPP and relevant SOPs are available in the work areas, as required bythe QAPP.1.3Document Storage (Hard Copies)Hard copies and archived compact disks are stored in the FSPC’s master files in Building 3,Room 208. These documents are stored until the completion date of the contract. After thecompletion of the contract, these documents and any other related files are transferred to an offsite warehouse where they are stored for an additional 5 years after contract completion.
