Vicki McCartney EH <br /> From: Jim Barton Ubarton@waterboards.ca.gov] <br /> Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 4:39 PM <br /> To: Vicki McCartney[EH] <br /> Subject: Re: FW: Fwd: RE: Evaluation of Analytical Methods by theRegionalBoard'sChemist(Out of <br /> Office) <br /> I will be out of the office until Monday, August 16, 2010. If you need a response prior <br /> to that date, please contact the office general number at (916) 464-3291 for assistance. <br /> Otherwise, I will respond to your email when I return. <br /> To comply with the Governor's order calling for furloughs, the Central Valley Regional <br /> Water Control Board Office and offices of the California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> are closed the second, third and fourth Friday of every month. I apologize for any <br /> inconvenience this may cause. <br /> >>> "Vicki McCartney [EH] " <vmccartney@sjcehd.com> 08/03/10 16:39 >>> <br /> Jim: <br /> After receiving your email that contained Leticia's responses by email dated June 23, <br /> 2010, to questions I had posed by email dated May 12, 2010, I sent a letter dated July 2, <br /> 2010, to the responsible party requesting the submittal of the GC/MS chromatograms for the <br /> TPH-d initial calibration curve, continuing calibration standards, method blanks, LCS/LCSD <br /> and MW/MSD that were associated with the three soil gas samples. A copy of the letter is <br /> appended for you and Leticia to review. <br /> In response to my request for this information, I received an email dated July 31, 2010, <br /> from William Little at Advanced GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (AGE) . Bill stated that <br /> "Additional chromatograms for TPH-d QA/QC for EPA method 8260 are not available, as the <br /> GC/MS method did not use a TPI -D standard for evaluation. A notation on the base of the <br /> analysis states TPH-d was performed by GC/MS analysis by TPH-d range compounds and the <br /> detection limit is 20, 000 micrograms per cubic meter. " <br /> I need to know how I should interpret the TPH-d results for the three soil gas samples <br /> (VP-1 through VP-3) since Cal Tech Environmental Laboratories reported TPH-d as non-detect <br /> at detection limit 20, 000 <br /> ug/m3 without running a curve, standard, blank, or QC/QC on the instrument. <br /> Jim, I would appreciate if you would have Leticia respond to my concerns about the TPH-d <br /> data. <br /> Vicki McCartney, Senior REHS <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health Department <br /> 600 East Main Street <br /> Stockton, California 95202 <br /> Phone: (209) 468-9852 <br /> Fax: (209) 468-3433 <br /> Email: vmccartney@sjcehd.com <br /> -----Original Message----- <br /> From: Vicki McCartney [EH] <br /> Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2010 10:07 AM <br /> To: 'Jim Barton' <br /> Subject: RE: Fwd: RE: Evaluation of Analytical Methods by theRegionalBoard'sChemist <br /> Good morning, Jim. <br /> I have read Leticia's email dated June 23, 2010, concerning questions I presented by email <br /> dated May 12, 2010, and I want to thank Leticia for taking the time to review and respond <br /> to the analytical data from Cal Tech Environmental Laboratories. <br /> 1 <br />
