1 <br /> LABORATORY NARRATIVE <br /> t Modified TO-3 (Gas range) <br /> ENSR <br /> Workorder#0506421 <br /> r <br />' Three 1 Liter Tedlar Bag samples were received on June 17, 2005 The laboratory performed analysts for <br /> volatile organic compounds in air via modified EPA Method TO-3 using gas chromatography with photo <br /> ionization and flame ionization detection The method involves concentrating up to 200 mL of sample The <br /> concentrated aliquot is then dry purged to remove water vapor pnor to entering the chromatographic system <br /> The TPH(Gasoline Range) results are calculated using the response factor of Gasoline and correspond to the <br /> range of hydrocarbons from C5 to CIO A molecular weight of 100 is used to convert the TPH (Gasoline <br /> Range)ppmv result to ug/L See the data sheets for the reporting linuts for each compound <br /> Method modifications taken to nun these samples include <br /> Requirement TO-3 ATL Modifications <br />' Daily Calibration Standard Prior to sample analysis Prior to sample analysis and after the analytical batch</= <br /> Frequency and every 4-6 hrs 20 samples <br /> Initial Calibration Calculation 4-point calibration 5-point calibration using average Response Factor <br /> using a linear <br /> regression model <br /> Initial Calibration Frequency Weekly When daily calibration standard recovery is outside 75- <br /> l <br /> ie 125%,or upon significant changes to procedure or <br /> instrumentation <br /> Moisture Control Nafion system Sorbent system <br /> Minimum Detection Limit(MDL) Calculated using the 40 CFR Pt 136 App B <br /> equation DL=A+3 3S, <br /> where A is intercept of <br /> calibration line and S is <br /> the standard deviation <br /> of at least 3 reps of low <br />' level standard <br /> Preparation of Standards Levels achieved Levels achieved through loading various volumes of the <br /> through dilution of gas gas mixture <br />' mixture <br /> Receiving Notes <br /> There were no receiving discrepancies <br /> Anal tical Notes <br /> There were no analytical discrepancies <br /> Definition of Data Quahfying Flags <br /> Seven qualifiers may have been used on the data analysts sheets and indicate as follows <br /> B - Compound present m laboratory blank greater than reporting limit, <br /> J - Estimated value <br /> E - Exceeds instrument calibration range <br /> Page 2 of l 1 <br />
