Which document verifies eligibility to receive soil samples under the PPQ program?

• A. PPQ 525 Soil Permit
• B. Chain of Custody
• C. PPQ 550 Black/White label
• D. Soil sampling instruction sheet

Answer: (A)

In PPQ programs, eligibility to receive soil samples is verified by an official permit that authorizes the transfer and reception of regulated soil. The PPQ 525 Soil Permit is the document issued to authorize the receiving site to accept soil shipments, confirming that the facility is approved and the shipment complies with quarantine rules. This permit serves as the formal permission and record that the recipient is able to handle and receive the soil. The other items play different roles: Chain of Custody tracks who handled the sample and when, ensuring traceability and integrity but not granting permission to receive. The PPQ 550 Black/White label is a labeling requirement for the shipment, not authorization to receive. The soil sampling instruction sheet provides procedures for collecting soil, not approval to receive it.
