The associated method blank surrogate spike compound was <br />in control and, therefore, the sample data was reported without further clarification. <br />B Analyte was present in the associated method blank. <br />BA The MS/MSD RPD was out of control due to suspected matrix interference. <br />BB Spike recovery and RPD control limits do not apply resulting from the parameter concentration in the sample exceeding the spike <br />concentration by a factor of four or greater. <br />BU Sample analyzed after holding time expired. <br />BV Sample received after holding time expired. <br />DF Reporting limits elevated due to matrix interferences. <br />E Concentration exceeds the calibration range. <br />ET Sample was extracted past end of recommended max. holding time. <br />GE The PDS/PDSD or PES/PESD associated with this batch of samples was out of control due to suspected matrix interference. <br />HD Chromat. profile inconsistent with pattern(s) of ref. fuel stnds. <br />HO High concentration matrix spike recovery out of limits <br />HT Analytical value calculated using results from associated tests. <br />HX Recovery of the Matrix Spike (MS) or Matrix Spike Duplicate (MSD) compound was out of control due to matrix interference. The <br />associated LCS was in control. <br />IL Relative percent difference out of control. <br />J Analyte was detected at a concentration below the reporting limit and above the laboratory method detection limit. Reported value is <br />estimated. <br />JA Analyte positively identified but quantitation is an estimate. <br />LD Analyte presence was not confirmed by second column or GC/MS analysis. <br />LP The LCS and/or LCSD recoveries for this analyte were above the upper control limit The associated sample was non-detected. Therefore, <br />the sample data was reported without further clarification. <br />LQ LCS recovery above method control limits. <br />LR LCS recovery below method control limits. <br />ND Parameter not detected at the indicated reporting limit. <br />QO Compound did not meet method -described identification guidelines. Identification was based on additional GC/MS characteristics. <br />RU LCS Recovery Percentage is within Marginal Exceedance (ME) Control Limit range (+/- 4 SD from the mean). <br />SG A silica gel cleanup procedure was performed. <br />SN See applicable analysis comment. <br />Solid - Unless otherwise indicated, solid sample data is reported on a wet weight basis, not corrected for % moisture. All QC results are <br />reported on a wet weight basis. <br />Any parameter identified in 40CFR Part 136.3 Table II that is designated as "analyze immediately" with a holding time of <= 15 minutes <br />(40CFR-136.3 Table Il, footnote 4), is considered a "field" test and the reported results will be qualified as being received outside of the <br />stated holding time unless received at the laboratory within 15 minutes of the collection time. <br />A calculated total result (Example: Total Pesticides) is the summation of each component concentration and/or, if "J" flags are reported, <br />estimated concentration. Component concentrations showing not detected (ND) are summed into the calculated total result as zero <br />concentrations. <br />7440 Lincoln Way, Garden Grove, CA 92841-1427 • TEL: (714) 895-5494 • FAX: (714) 894-7501 <br />0 <br />U <br />0 <br />
