Any drilling fluid additives shall be limited to inorganic, non-hazardous materials which <br /> will not mask or alter the constituents being monitored. Use of all additives must be <br /> indicated on the boring log as to depth, quantity, and type. Representative samples of the <br /> additive shall be retained for a penod of 90 days. <br /> S.
