Therefore,the sample data was reported without further <br /> clarification. <br /> 2 Surrogate compound recovery was out of control due to matrix interference. The associated method blank surrogate spike compound was <br /> in control and,therefore,the sample data was reported without further clarification. <br /> 3 Recovery of the Matrix Spike(MS)or Matrix Spike Duplicate(MSD)compound was out of control due to suspected matrix interference.The <br /> associated LCS recovery was in control. <br /> 4 The MS/MSD RPD was out of control due to suspected matrix interference. <br /> 5 The PDS/PDSD or PES/PESD associated with this batch of samples was out of control due to suspected matdx interference. <br /> 6 Surrogate recovery below the acceptance limit. <br /> 7 Surrogate recovery above the acceptance limit. <br /> B Analyte was present in the associated method blank. <br /> BU Sample analyzed after holding time expired. <br /> BV Sample received after holding time expired. <br /> E Concentration exceeds the calibration range. <br /> ET Sample was extracted past end of recommended max.holding time. <br /> HD The chromatographic pattern was inconsistent with the profile of the reference fuel standard. <br /> HDH The sample chromatographic pattern for TPH matches the chromatographic pattern of the specified standard but heavier hydrocarbons <br /> were also present(or detected). <br /> HDL The sample chromatographic pattern for TPH matches the chromatographic pattern of the specified standard but lighter hydrocarbons were 6 <br /> also present(or detected). <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 /> ME LCS Recovery Percentage is within Marginal Exceedance(ME)Control Limit range(+/-4 SD from the mean). <br /> ND Parameter not detected at the indicated reporting limit. <br /> Q 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 /> SG The sample extract was subjected to Silica Gel treatment prior to analysis. <br /> X %Recovery and/or RPD out-of-range. <br /> Z Analyte presence was not confirmed by second column or GC/MS analysis. <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 II,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 />
