The NRSA app will be preloaded on supplied iPads to record field data. Field crews will receive
labels packets with the site kits they request through the electronic Supply Request Form. Do
not mix labels from different sites.
Paper field forms will be supplied by NARS IM as backups to the App or for crews who choose
not to use the App. Please submit an electronic Supply Request Form well in advance of field
sampling - indicate if you would like wadeable or nonwadeable packets. For each site you will
receive a paper form packet with paper tracking forms. Prior to sampling, inspect each packet to
ensure all forms are included.

O Anastomosing (complex) channel - (Relatively long major and minor channels branching and rejoining.)
O Braided channel - (Multiple short channels branching and rejoining - mainly one channel broken up by
numerous mid-channel bars.)
CHANNEL CONSTRAINT(Fill in one):
O Channel very constrained in V-shaped valley (i.e. it is very unlikely to spread out over valley or erode a
new channel during flood)
O Channel is in Broad Valley but channel movement by erosion during floods is constrained by Incision
(Flood flows do not commonly spread over valley floor or into multiple channels.)
O Channel is in Marrow Valley but is not very constrained, but limited in movement by relatively narrow
valley floor(< ~1Q xbankfull width)
O Channel is Unconstrained in Broad Valley (i.e. during flood it can fill off-channel areas and side channels,
spread out over flood plain, or easily cut new channels by erosion)
O Bedrock (i.e. channel is a bedrock-dominated gorge)
O Hillslope (i.e. channel constrained in narrowV-shaped valley)
OTerrace (i.e. channel is constrained by its own incision into river/stream gravel/soil deposits)
O Human Bank Alterations (i.e. constrained by rip-rap. landfill, dike, road, etc.)

¦ NRSA 2018/19 TORRENT EVIDENCE ASSESSMENT ¦
Site ID: Date; / /
Flense fill in any of the following that are evident.
EVIDENCE OF TORRENT SCOURING:
O
01 - Stream channel has a recently devegetated corridor two or more times the width of the low flow channel. This
corridor lacks riparian vegetation with possible exception of fireweed. even-aged alder or Cottonwood seedlings, grasses,
or olhei herbaceous plants.
o
02 - Stream substrate cobbles or large gravel particles are NOT IMBRICATED. (Imbricated means that they lie with flat
sides horizontal and that they are stacked like roof shingles - imagine the upstream direction as the top of the "roof.") In
a torrent scour or deposition channel, the stories are laying in unorganized patterns, lying "every which way," In addition
many of the substrate particles are angular (not "water-worn.")
o
03 - Channel has little evidence of pool-riffle structure. (For example, could you ride a mountain bike down the channel?)
o
04 - The stream channel is scoured down to bedrock for substantial portion of reach.
o
05 - There are gravel or cobble terms (little levees) above bankfull level.
o
06 - Downstream of the scoured reach (possibly several miles), there arc rrc? s>ive c " osi ; of sediment, logs, and other
debris.
o
07 - Riparian trees have fresh bark scars at many points along the stream at se "riin^ly unbelievable heights above the
channel bed.
o
08 - Riparian trees have fallen Into the channel as a result of see irir,. near Seir roots,
EVIDENCE OF TORRENT DEPOSITS:
09 - There are massive deposits of sediment, logs, arid otlv. u. "iris in the reach. They may contain wood and boulders
that in your judgement, could not have boon moved by the s' eai ! at even extreme flood stage.
10 - if the stream has begun to erode newly laid depo .its "'s evident that these deposits are "MATRIX SUPPORTED."
j-. This means that the large particles, like boulders ; id *.obb' ,-s. are often not touching each other, but have silt, sand, and
other fine particles between them (their weight oi >cd by these fine particles -- in contrast to a normal stream
deposit, where fines, it present, normally "fill-in 'he i1 i.erstices between coarser particles.)
i NO EVIDENCE.

Version 1.2 May 2018
Field Operations Manual
General Shipping Guidelines
Samples will be shipped according to the chart below (Table C.2). The Field Crew Leader will complete
the appropriate sample information and tracking form for the samples and will submit tracking
information via the NRSA App (alternative methods are listed below). The Field Crew Leader will place
the samples and a packing slip (in a waterproof bag or plastic sleeve) in the shipment cooler, and then
the Field Crew Leader will attach the appropriate pre-addressed FedEx label for the appropriate lab. The
field crew will either drop off the cooler for shipment at a local FedEx location or arrange for a pick up at
the hotel or other appropriate facility. If the field crew has chosen a pick up, they must follow up with
the facility at which it has been left and/or track the package through FedEx tracking tools to ensure that
the shipment cooler has been picked up by FedEx. Once the package is in the possession of FedEx, the
IM Team and Field Logistics Coordinator (FLC) will track the package to its destination and take steps
necessary to ensure timely delivery.
Tracking information must be submitted electronically to the IM Team and a packing slip or tracking
form must accompany each sample shipment. The packing slip or tracking form is to be placed in a
resealable plastic bag/pouch secured to the inside of the cooler lid. Seal the shipping container. Submit
the sample tracking information to the NARS IM Team to indicate that samples will be in transit to the
laboratory. Tracking information must be submitted the same day that the samples are shipped.
Before shipping, it is very important to preserve each sample as directed in the sample collection
portion of the appropriate chapter in the NRSA 2018-19 FOM. General directions for sample processing,
shipping and tracking are found below:
• Preserve the samples as specified for each indicator before shipping.
• Be aware of the holding times for each type of sample.
• Always line the cooler with a heavy duty plastic bag (cooler liner) when shipping with wet ice or
when shipping preserved samples.
• When shipping samples preserved with ethanol, surround the jars with crumpled newspaper or
other absorbent material.
When wet ice is used for shipment:
• Ensure that the ice is fresh before shipment, and use adequate amounts of ice to ensure
samples will remain cold for up to 36 hours.
• Place samples and ice inside the cooler liner and seal the cooler liner.
• Secure the cooler with packing tape.
-------
National Rivers and Streams Assessment 2018/19
Field Operations Manual
Version 1.2 May 2018
When dry ice is used for shipment:
• When shipping frozen batched samples, place the dry ice pad in the bottom of the cooler and
then line the cooler with the dry ice liner (silver bubble material).
• Ship frozen batched samples with 20 pounds of dry ice.
• Ship whole fish tissue samples with 50 pounds of dry ice.
• When shipping whole fish tissue or frozen batched samples, place a layer of dry ice in the
bottom of the cooler, samples in a middle layer, and a second layer of dry ice on top of the
samples.
• Affix a Class 9 Hazardous Goods label (Figure C.l) to the outside of the cooler making sure that it
indicates the sender, recipient and amount of dry ice (in kg).
Figure C.l Class 9 Hazardous Goods label for use with dry ice shipments
NOTE: Not all FedEx locations will accept shipments containing dry ice. Dry ice shipments can be shipped
from "FedEx staffed" locations. You can also arrange for a pick-up from your lab or hotel. Dry ice
shipments often cannot be shipped from FedEx Office and Print Centers® or FedEx Authorized
ShipCenter® locations. These types of locations are differentiated on FedEX.com in the "Find FedEx
Locations" feature. Please be sure to call in advance to ensure your location will accept the package for
shipment.

National Rivers and Streams Assessment 2018/19
Version 1.2 May 2018
Field Operations Manual
When shipping samples preserved with ETOH or Formalin (non-chilled batched samples):
• Close the lid of each container tightly and securely with electrical tape
• Line the cooler with the provided cooler liner.
• Place sealed sample containers inside cooler liner
• Surround the jars with crumpled newspaper, pads, or other absorbent material
• Seal the cooler liner securely with zip tie.
• Secure the cooler with packing tape.
NOTE: Federal regulations and FedEx rules allow for Ground shipping of certain quantities of flammable
liquids WITHOUT the need for special certifications and labeling. Flammable liquids may NOT be shipped
via air carrier unless shipper is trained and qualified to do so and specific documentation and labeling
requirements are met
The Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR Section 173.150) lists the exceptions which allow shipping of
flammable liquids via ground carrier without labeling or special certifications. Ethanol and formalin can
be considered to be in either Packaging Group 2 or 3, so we use the more stringent PG 2 as our guideline.
The limited quantity exclusion allows ground shipping ofPG 2 flammable liquids provided that the
individual containers inside the package are not over 1.0 liters each, that the gross weight of the package
does not exceed 66 pounds, and that the outer packaging is a sturdy container. Please ensure that your
shipment meets these criteria to ensure the legal Ground shipment of these samples.
Tracking Forms and Shipment Types
Whenever NRSA samples are shipped, one or more tracking forms are completed to relay important
shipping information to the IM Team, FLC and the destination lab. These tracking forms are to be
submitted both electronically at the time of shipping (through app submission or by emailing a scan of a
paper version of the form) and included as a hard copy (packing slip or tracking form) in the shipping
container with the samples.
Packing Slips
Packing slips (Figure C.2) are postcard sized slips that accompany sample labels in the site kits. When
crews order site kits (via the Request Form), a set of sample labels and packing slips will accompany
each site kit. Sample IDs for the suite of samples collected at a single site will be pre-populated on both
the labels and the packing slips. It is important to keep the labels and packing slips organized so the
sample IDs will match when shipping occurs. It is a good idea to write the Site ID in the header area of all
packing slips when preparing the Site Packet, even if the slip will not be used to ship samples right away.
This will help ensure that the sample IDs do not get mis-matched.
When crews submit tracking data via the app, a tracking form will be populated and sent back to them
as a PDF document that will look very much like a paper tracking form (see below). Crews DO NOT need
to print this form as all tracking information is submitted electronically and the packing slip acts as the
chain of custody for the samples in the cooler. The returned PDF is simply a record of the submission for
the crew to keep.

Paper Tracking Forms
Crews who are NOT using the NRSA App (E-Forms) for data submission will need to order paper data
forms and paper tracking forms (Figure C.3) for each site. Labels will still be sent in the site kits and the
crew will need to carefully transfer sample IDs to the paper tracking forms. Crews who are sending a
subset of samples to a state lab may also need paper tracking forms or can use a fillable PDF tracking
form.

National Rivers and Streams Assessment 2018/19
Version 1.2 May 2018
Field Operations Manual
Each packing slip and tracking form has been assigned a "T" number to help crews identify the correct
slip/form to use when sending samples. This "T" number is located on the top of each slip/form in the
title of the form (e.g., Tl: NRSA18/19 Daily Water Chemistry Sample Tracking). Crews will also find
reference to the same "T" numbers on the individual sample labels and on the top of the pre-printed
FedEx return labels provided in the coolers. The FedEx return labels are pre-paid and allow crews to ship
samples to any of the nationally contracted laboratories. States using their own labs for certain samples
will need to arrange for shipping on their own.
Crews include copies of all packing slips or tracking forms in the coolers (placed in the plastic sleeve
affixed to the inside of the cooler lid) when they send samples to the labs, and they also must submit an
electronic copy to the IM Team. Crews have several different options for electronically submitting
sample and tracking information. If a cooler contains samples from more than one site, then multiple
slips/forms must be placed in the cooler and submitted to NARS IM.
In order of preference, the options for submitting sample and tracking information are:
1. Using the NRSA App:
a. Enter all applicable sample data in the pertinent sections of the NRSA App. For any
targeted sample not collected, be sure to indicate a reason why the sample was not
collected in the comment bubble adjacent to the "no sample collected" check box.
b. Fill out the correct tracking form in the app with shipping information (e.g., lab, ship
date, airbill number, sender name, and sender phone number).
c. Submit the tracking form via the app.
d. On the pre-populated packing slip that accompanied the sample labels, enter the Site
ID, Visit number, and Date collected.
e. For any sample not included in the cooler, line out the sample ID.
f. Insert the packing slip into the plastic sleeve on the inside of the cooler lid, seal the
cooler with packing tape, apply the correct FedEx shipping label, and ship the cooler.
2. Using a paper tracking form:
a. Hand-enter sample IDs and complete tracking data on a paper tracking form.
b. Scan the form with a handheld device or office scanner. Attach the file (in PDF version)
to an email and address to sampletracking@epa.gov. Be sure that the file scanned is
clear and legible. If an office scanner is not available at the time of shipping, consider a
free application like CamScanner or AdobeScan which is widely available for mobile
devices and has processing tools that will help to ensure that the scan is clear and
legible.
• Please name the PDF files in the following format: "SitelD V# T#", where:
¦ 'SitelD' is the NRSA18-19 Site ID as listed in the Site Evaluation
Spreadsheet (prefix may be omitted);
¦ 'V#' is the visit number (e.g., VI or V2); and
¦ 'T#' is the number of the tracking form.
• Example: AL_10001 VI Tl
¦ The specified naming convention is provided on the bottom of each form
as a reminder.
c. After scanning, insert the tracking form into the plastic sleeve on the inside of the cooler
lid, seal the cooler with packing tape, apply the correct FedEx shipping label, and ship
the cooler.
3. Using a fillable PDF tracking form (may be best for state lab use):
a. Using a handheld device or portable computer, enter sample IDs and complete tracking
data into a fillable PDF tracking form, save and submit it via email. Fillable PDF tracking
-------
National Rivers and Streams Assessment 2018/19
Version 1.2 May 2018
Field Operations Manual
forms do not have pre-populated sample IDs, so care must be taken to enter all sample
IDs exactly as they are displayed on the sample labels. The fillable PDFs must be saved
as an updated copy to the user's computer or device and then attached to an email to
sampletracking@epa.gov.
• Please name the PDF files in the following format: "SitelD V# T#", where:
¦ 'SitelD' is the NRSA18-19 Site ID as listed in the Site Evaluation
Spreadsheet (prefix may be omitted);
¦ 'V#' is the visit number (e.g., VI or V2); and
¦ 'T#' is the number of the tracking form.
• Example: ALJ.0001 VIT1
¦ The specified naming convention is provided on the bottom of each form
as a reminder.
b. Print the completed PDF and include the hard copy of the form in the cooler with the
samples. This step may be omitted for coolers shipped to state labs if the lab does not
require the receipt of this tracking form. Insert the tracking form into the plastic sleeve
on the inside of the cooler lid, seal the cooler with packing tape, apply the correct FedEx
shipping label, and ship the cooler.
Status Reports:
When a crew samples a site, they complete and submit a copy of the T1 - Site & Sample Status/Water
Chemistry Lab Tracking Form. This will typically be done via the NRSA App but can be accomplished
through the use of a paper or fillable PDF version. It is very important to submit this form as soon as
possible after every sampling event. Prompt status reports allow the FLC to closely track sampling
progress. More importantly, it enables NARS IM to track samples that were collected at each
successfully sampled site versus those that were not, and to immediately track the shipment of the
time-sensitive samples after each sampling event.
Daily Shipments:
T1 - Site & Sample Status/Water Chemistry Lab Tracking Form
• Complete Form Tl: Site and Sample Status/Water Chemistry Lab Tracking Form as
soon as possible after completing a sampling event.
• Complete the header area to indicate site-specific information (see Figure C.4, Section
A). For App users, this information is contained in the Verification Form.
• Complete the Site Status section (Figure C.4, Section B) in all cases to indicate whether
the site was sampled or not and the method used to sample. For App users, this
information is contained in the Verification Form.
• Complete the shipment details section (Figure C.4, Section C) to indicate date shipped,
airbill number, and sender info. For App users, this information is completed in the Tl
Tracking Form.
• Complete the immediately shipped sample section (Figure C.4, Section D) to indicate
sample IDs, lab, and reasons that targeted samples were not collected. For App users,
this information is contained in the pertinent sample collection forms. Be sure to indicate
a reason why a targeted sample was not collected in the comment bubble adjacent to
the "no sample collected" check box in the app forms.
-------
National Rivers and Streams Assessment 2018/19
Version 1.2 May 2018
Field Operations Manual
• In cases where a state lab is processing some, but not all of the samples, one copy of the
T1 form will be filled out for each lab and submitted separately. The T1 packing slip or
tracking form placed in the cooler should only indicate the sample(s) being shipped in
that cooler.
• Packing slips are to be used when samples are sent to national labs. For any sample
not included in the cooler, line out the sample ID.
• Paper or PDF tracking forms are to be used for state labs. Use the 'included in
cooler' bubble to indicate which samples are being shipped with the specific form.
• See Table C.l for guidance on when to use packing slips versus paper or PDF
tracking forms.
• Complete the Batched Sample Status section (Figure C.4, Section E) to indicate whether
each type of sample was collected. If any of the samples were targeted but not
collected, use the comments section to briefly explain why they were not collected. For
App users, this information is contained in the pertinent sample collection forms. Be sure
to indicate a reason why a targeted sample was not collected in the comment bubble
adjacent to the "no sample collected" check box in the app forms.
• Indicate how many Enterococci filters were collected (typically 2 at normal
visits, 3 at Visit 1 to revisit sites).
• Indicate how many jars of each type were collected (in the case of benthos
and fish voucher samples).
• Complete the Field Data Submission section (Figure C.4, Section F) to indicate how field
data will be submitted (Electronic App, Fillable PDF, Paper Forms, or Partial App/Paper).
For App users, this information is automatically populated.
• Send an electronic copy of this form to NARS IM using one of the options listed above.
This serves as the "status report" for that sampling event.

Batched Sample Shipments:
• Crews may hold batched shipments for the amount of specified in the table below.
• Electronically send the tracking form(s) to NARS IM when the samples are SHIPPED using
one of the options listed above.
• Use one packing slip or tracking form for each site's worth of samples in the cooler (i.e.
if you have batched samples from four sites in the cooler, there should be four forms
completed).
• Include paper copies of the packing slips or tracking forms in the cooler.
• All samples in the cooler should be listed on one of the included tracking forms.

toxins, and periphyton DNA samples). These samples should be shipped within one
week of collection.
• For App users, the bulk of the sample information is contained in the pertinent sample
collection forms within the app. Shipping information is entered into the T2 Tracking
Form.

Version 1.2 May 2018
Field Operations Manual
• Paper form or fillable PDF Form users must transfer sample IDs from the sample labels
to the tracking form.
• In cases where a state lab is processing some, but not all of the samples, one copy of the
T2 form will be filled out for each lab and submitted separately. The T2 packing slip or
tracking form placed in the cooler should only indicate the sample(s) being shipped in
that cooler.
• Packing slips are to be used when samples are sent to national labs. For any sample
not included in the cooler, line out the sample ID.
• Paper or PDF tracking forms are to be used for state labs. Use the 'included in
cooler' bubble to indicate which samples are being shipped with the specific form.
• See Table C.l for guidance on when to use packing slips versus paper or PDF
tracking forms.
• Complete the header area to indicate site-specific information and shipping information.
• Write in or verify the sample IDs for the sample(s) being shipped.
• Indicate to which laboratory the samples are being shipped (i.e., national or state
laboratory). If shipping to a state laboratory, provide the laboratory name.
• Send an electronic copy of this form to NARS IM using one of the options listed above.
• Ship the samples to the lab(s) in a cooler with a hard copy of the respective slip/form.
T3 - NRSA 2018-19 Non-Chilled Batched Samples Tracking
• Use this form for shipping batches of non-chilled samples (benthos, periphyton ID
samples, and fish voucher samples).
• These samples are shipped together in a cooler (ordered via the Request form) with a
heavy duty cooler liner and no ice. Benthos and periphyton ID Samples should be
shipped within two weeks of collection. Fish voucher samples may be shipped after fish
are fixed, preserved and assembled into the voucher collection with voucher tags.
• The number of samples that will fit in a cooler will depend largely on the number of
benthos bottles collected from each site. In most cases, samples from three to five site
visits will fit in a cooler together. NEVER split samples from one site into more than one
cooler.
• In cases where a state lab is processing some, but not all of the samples, one copy of the
T3 form will be filled out for each lab and submitted separately. The T3 packing slip or
tracking form placed in the cooler should only indicate the sample(s) being shipped in
that cooler.
• Packing slips are to be used when samples are sent to national labs. For any sample
not included in the cooler, line out the sample ID.
• Paper or PDF tracking forms are to be used for state labs. Use the 'included in
cooler' bubble to indicate which samples are being shipped with the specific form.
• See Table C.l for guidance on when to use packing slips versus paper or PDF
tracking forms.
• Complete the header area to indicate site-specific information and shipping information.
• Write in or verify the sample IDs for the sample(s) being shipped.
• Indicate to which laboratory the samples are being shipped (i.e., national or state
laboratory). If shipping to a state laboratory, provide the laboratory name.

T4 - NRSA 2018-19 Whole Fish Tissue Samples Tracking
• Use this form when shipping frozen whole fish tissue samples. These samples should be
shipped within two weeks of collection.
• For App users, the bulk of the sample information is contained in the pertinent sample
collection forms within the app. Shipping information is entered into the T4 Tracking
Form.
• Paper form or fillable PDF Form users must transfer sample IDs from the sample labels
to the tracking form and must also populate the fish common name and lengths of each
specimen.
• Complete the header area to indicate site-specific information and shipping information.
• Write in or verify the sample IDs for the sample(s) being shipped.
• Send an electronic copy of this form to NARS IM using one of the options listed above.
• Ship the samples to the lab in a cooler with a hard copy of the respective slip/form.
T5 - NRSA 2018-19 Pack Tracking
• If utilizing paper field forms, review and ship all field forms in the envelope provided in
the site kit to NARS IM every two weeks.
• Before shipping, make copies or scans for your records and as a backup in the event the
forms are lost during shipping.
• Forms should be sequentially ordered by protocol within the Data Packet to aid in
determining that all forms are present and to facilitate data entry once the Data Packet
reaches the IM Team.
• The T5 form is the only tracking form which has room for multiple sites to be listed. List
the site IDs, dates sampled and visit numbers for all data packets being shipped in the
envelope or box.
• You do not need to send multiple scans of the same file.
• You can name the file with a composite name such as "AL_10001 VI, AL_10022 VI,
AL_10235 V2, AL_11236 VI T5".

SAMPLE-SPECIFIC SHIPPING GUIDELINES
Before shipping, it is very important to preserve each sample as directed in the sample collection
portion of this Field Operations Manual.
¦ Preserve the samples as specified for each indicator before shipping (Fig. C.5).
¦ Be aware of the holding times for each type of sample (Table C.2):
o Water chemistry samples must be shipped within 24 hours of collection (e.g., the
same day as sampling or the following day),
o Chlorophyll-o and periphyton biomass samples have longer holding times, but will be
sent with the water chemistry samples since they are going to the same laboratory,
o Enterococci samples must be filtered and frozen on dry ice within 6 hours of
collection and must be shipped within one week of collection,
o Fish tissue samples (plugs and whole fish) must be frozen on dry ice as soon as
possible (hold on wet ice until freezing on dry ice if needed),
o Microcystin samples should be held on wet ice in the field and frozen upon return to
lab, office or hotel.
o Fish voucher specimens can be held on wet ice until being preserved in formalin in
the field or laboratory. Preserve samples ASAP,
o The remaining samples must be preserved immediately upon collection; they may
then be sent in batches to the appropriate laboratory.

If your conductivity meter cannot measure ambient conductivity, you can "uncorrect" specific
conductance at 25 °C to ambient conductivity using the following equation:
• Ambient conductivity=Specific conductance x (l+([water temp-25 °C] x 0.02))

OC Rationale for boats:
We are seeing from several sources that 10 - 12 amps are the required minimum for successful fishing at 115 |aS/cm with a 2-boom
y electrofishing boat using rectangular-wave pulsed DC. Rounded wave PDC, as produced from GPP units, appear to require higher amperages
^ (12 - 14 amp range at 115 |iS/cm). The above table uses a 35 Ohm boat electrode system (2 booms with 4-6 droppers each, unpainted boat
hull) and the low end of the rectangular wave requirements (10 amps at 115 |iS/cm).
^ The best output to standardize by is current. However, in low conductivity water, or when using low power units as backpacks, voltage may be
^ a better choice to use instead of current.
>< Here's the big catch. If you plan to use these as starting guides, then the electrode arrangement should be similar to that described for each
table. For example, spherical boat electrodes are not similar enough to Wisconsin Rings for this purpose. We all know that electrode
111
^ arrangements will differ (different length hulls, 4 droppers instead of 6, etc. The cool thing is that current targets will be more consistent while
q voltage targets will vary more.
Z For a good blog with data on this concept, see:
