Proi ct Specific QC. No project specific QC (i .e. , spikes and/or <br /> duplicates) was requested. <br /> B. Me hod 81ank Results. A method blank is a laboratory-generated <br /> sample which assesses the degree to which laboratory operations <br /> and procedures cause false-positive analytical results for your <br /> samples. <br /> No target parameters were detected in the method blanks associated <br /> with your samples at the reporting limit levels noted on the data <br /> sheets in the Analytical Results section. <br /> C. Laboratory Control Samples. An LCS is a well -characterized matrix <br /> (blank water, sand or celite) which is spiked with certain target <br /> parameters and analyzed at approximately 10% of the sample load in <br /> order to establish method-specific control limits. The LCS <br /> results associated with your samples are on the attached <br /> Laboratory Control Sample Report. <br /> Accuracy is measured by Percent Recovery as in: <br /> % recovery - smeasured cg tration x 100 <br /> (actual concentration) <br /> Precision is measured using duplicate tests by Relative Percent Difference <br /> (RPD) as in: <br /> RPD = (q recovery test 1 - Y recovery est 21 x 100 <br /> (% recovery test 1 + q° recovery test 2)/2 <br /> Control limits for accuracy (percent recovery) are based on the average, <br /> historical percent recovery +/-3 standard deviation units. Control limits <br /> for precision (relative percent difference) range from 0 (identical <br /> duplicate LCS results) to the average, historical relative percent <br /> difference + 3 standard deviation units. These control limits are updated <br /> on a quarterly basis. In cases where there is not enough historical data, <br /> EPA limits or advisory limits are set, with the approval of the Quality <br /> Assurance department. <br />
