6. Spiked Samples <br /> A spiked sample is produced by adding a known quantity of analyte(s) of interest <br /> to the sample. Spiked samples are used to check the accuracy of analytical procedures. <br /> D. Sample Analysis <br /> Region 9 requires that all samples associated with well closure activities be <br /> analyzed for the compounds listed below using the indicated methods. Analysis for semi- <br /> volatile organic compounds is only necessary when such compounds are suspected of <br /> being in the waste stream. <br /> 1. Volatile Organics: EPA Method 8240 (Volatile Organics); EPA Method <br /> 8260 (Volatile Organics by Capillary Column); or a combination of EPA <br /> Methods 8010 (Halogenated Volatile Organics), 8015 (Nonhalogenated <br /> Volatile Organics) and 8020 (Aromatic Volatile Organics). <br /> 2. Semi-Volatile Organics: EPA Method 8270 (Semi-volatile Organics) is <br /> recommended when the presence of semi-volatile organics is suspected in <br /> the waste stream. <br /> 3. Metals: Appropriate EPA Methods for all metals on the Toxicity <br /> Characteristics (TC) list (arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, <br /> mercury, selenium, and silver). <br /> 4. Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH): EPA Methods 5030/8015 and <br /> 5030/8020 to analyze for gasoline in liquid or soil, EPA Method 3510/8015 <br /> for diesel in liquid, and EPA Method 3540/8015 for diesel in soil. <br /> 5. Total Recoverable Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TRPH): EPA Methods <br /> 9070A/418.1 for liquid and EPA Methods 9071A/418.1 for soil. As of <br /> 10/1/92 EPA Methods 9071A/418.1 will be replaced by EPA Methods ' <br /> 3560/8440.
