Common use of Field Data Collection Clause in Contracts

Field Data Collection. Due to the size and nature of this study, it will be important that all data is collected during each site visit, and archived properly. Site specific information will be collected at each point source location and recorded digitally on ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Field PCs. An example field PC is presented below. 3 United States Environmental Protection Agency. Protocol for Equipment Leak Emission Estimates. EPA-453/R- 95-017. November 1995. This information will include site characterization data, IR-detected emission data, emission rate testing data and information necessary to the modeling effort. Pre-formatted electronic datasheets stored on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Field PCs will be used to record site information and monitoring results. At the conclusion of each day’s point source testing, data stored on the Field PCs will be downloaded to spreadsheets and backed up on dedicated hard drives. All emissions detected with the IR Camera will be video recorded and saved as digital video files. These video files will subsequently be processed using Windows Movie Maker™ software. Processing of raw video files will consist of adding a title slide with timestamp and descriptive information followed by a digital photograph of the emission source. Some editing of the IR Camera video may be performed to improve quality of presentation. The completed video recording will then be saved with a descriptive filename as a Windows Media Video file (*.wmv).
