MINIMUNWRIMCATION LABORATORY ANAIWS
<br />All analyses methods are designated EPA methods described In EPA SW 846, Third Edition. Those methods not found in
<br />SW 846, are specifically noted below. Refer to the 'SWRCB LUFT Field Manual', Appendix A-20, Table 3-5 for detection
<br />limits of motor vehicle fuels (gasoline and diesel). Refer to 1-2-3 'Regional Board Staff Recommendations for Initial
<br />Evaluation and Investigation of UST`s' for the waste and motor oil detection limits.
<br />Detection Llmlts that remain below the MCI., SIT.0 or Allowable Limit of the contaminant in question will be accepted,
<br />however laboratory shall utilize the most conservative method.
<br />LABORATORY
<br />TPH-G
<br />TPH-D
<br />BTX &E
<br />CL HC
<br />TOTAL LEAD
<br />EDB
<br />GC -FID
<br />ICAP or AA
<br />PCB
<br />Method 3050
<br />Method 3540
<br />Method 3550
<br />Method 5030
<br />QA/QC
<br />ANALYSES TERMINOLOGY:
<br />Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon, Gasoline, GQFID (5030) 8015 mod or GQMS 8260
<br />Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon, Diesel, GQFID (3550), 8015 mod or GAMS 8260
<br />Benzene, Toluene, Xylene & Ethyl Benzene, GQPID 8Q20 or GAMS 8260
<br />Chlorinated Hydrocarbon, GCA -LSD 8010, GAMS 8240
<br />Total lead, AA 7420, AA 7421 or ICP -AES 6010
<br />Ethylene dibromide (DHS -AB 1803), GAMS 8240 (DHS -Luft)
<br />Gas Chromatography, Flame Ionization Detection
<br />Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry 6010 or Atomic Absorption
<br />Spectrometry 7000. Metals: Cadmium, Chromium III and VI, Lead, Zinc and Nickel.
<br />Polychlorinated Biphenyls, GAMS 8270 or 8080
<br />Acid digestion
<br />Soxhlet sample preparation
<br />Sonication sample preparation, extraction method
<br />Purge and trap sample preparation
<br />Quality AssurancM/ uallty Control
<br />Notes: To avoid false positive detection of benzene, benzene -free solvents are to be used. Fused capillary columns are
<br />preferred to packed columns; a packed column may be used as a •first cut' with 'dirty' samples or once the hydrocarbons
<br />have been characterized and proper QAIAC Is followed.
<br />For Drinking water sources, EPA recommends that the 500 series for volatile organics be used in preference to the 600 series
<br />because the detection limits are lower the QA/QC is better.
