NOTES <br />One or a combination of these data qualifiers and abbreviations may appear in the analytical report <br />' Soil sediment and sludge results are reported on a dry weight basis except when analyzed for landfill disposal or incineration <br />parameters All other results on a solid matrix arc reported on an "as received" basis unless noted differendy <br />Reporting limits are adjusted for preparation sample size, sample dilutions and sample moisture content if analyzed on a dry weight <br />basis <br />Revised 02116!93 <br />
