(11/87) * SAS analyses include non-routine analytical methods and non-routine sample matrices, e.g. , air, woodwaste or oil. RAS+SAS analyses are modifications to the RAS procedures such as fast-turnaround times, low detection limits on specific TCL compounds, and the addition of compounds not on the TCL but which can be analyzed by RAS methods. * The sample plan should distinguish between RAS, RAS+SAS and SAS analyses; however, these designations may be changed by the Regional Sample Control Coordinator (RSCC) because of factors involved in selecting a CLP laboratory. * For all non-CLP laboratory analyses, state or reference from the QAPjP the analytical methods, compounds to be analyzed, required detection or quareitation limits, and required laboratory quality control. A. Narrative Request For Analyses * Identify the sample matrices and analytes by class and/or compound. Each analyte not on the TCL must be identified by chemical name (not trade name) . * Identify the analytical methods to be used by the laboratory for all SAS requests. If more than one analytical method is acceptable, that should be noted (it speeds up the bidding process) . If the objective is a comparison with historical data then it is usually recommended that the sane methods be used consistently. * Include or reference from the QAPjP any special instructions for the laboratory that differ from the selected method. State if filtering for dissolved metals must be done in the laboratory. * Identify the needed detection or quantitation limits for all SAS requests. * Identify the potential for analytical interferences. B. Tabular Reauest For Analyses (See Appendix A for an example) x Identify all analytical parameters by matrix on a sample by sample basis in a tabular format. * Identify the container type, sample volumes, preservatives, special handling and analytical hold times necessary for each parameter. * Identify all field QA/QC samples (blanks, backgrounds, replicates, lab QC saenDles and splits) . If extra volumes is needed for lab QC samples this should be included and identified. (See Section VI - H. ) * Include the sampling schedule on a daily or weekly basis. * Total the nunber of samples and analyses on a weekly basis. Include duplicates and blanks. * If samplim occurs in episodes, e.g. daily or weekly, devote a page/sample matrix/episode. * Our format does not fit all sampling schemes and is for guidance. Your modified version must include all of the information requested on our form (see Appendix A) .
