ANALYTICAL METHODS <br /> Samples collected as part of the monitoring program will be analyzed consistent with <br /> accepted analytical procedures. The following publications are the primary references for <br /> analytical procedures: <br /> Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes,EPA-600/4-79-020,revised <br /> March 1983 <br /> Methods for Organic Chemical Analysis of Municipal and Industrial Wastewater, <br /> EPA-600/4-82-057, July 1982 <br /> Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Wastes: Physical/Chemical Methods, EPA <br /> SW-846, 3rd edition, November 1986 <br /> The laboratories selected to perform the analytical work will be certified by the <br /> Department of Health Services (DHS) for hazardous waste testing. Table A-2 summarizes <br /> the analytical test methods to be used and the maximum sample holding times that will <br /> be observed. <br /> QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL <br /> Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) measures will be taken to confirm the integrity <br /> of the field and laboratory data generated during the monitoring program. The procedures <br /> used to assess data quality are described in this section. An evaluation of the field and <br /> laboratory quality assurance data will be included in the technical reports. <br /> Field Quality Assurance Procedures <br /> Field quality assurance procedures will be included in each monitoring event and include <br /> the documentation of field instrument calibration. <br /> Laboratory QA/QC Procedures <br /> Laboratory QA/QC procedures will include those required under the DHS hazardous <br /> waste testing program. Specific laboratory procedures are included in the laboratory <br /> QA/QC manual for surrogate recoveries, matrix spike recoveries, and matrix spike <br /> duplicate (or duplicate) results. <br /> Method blanks will be analyzed daily to assess the effect of the laboratory environment <br /> on the analytical results. Method blanks will be performed for each parameter analyzed. <br /> Each sample to be analyzed for organic parameters will contain surrogate spike <br /> compounds. The surrogate recoveries will be used to determine if the analytical <br /> SAC/pjft93M390040.8e1-95 ifc:3 A-8 Rev.0 February 14, 1995 <br />
