Nonparametric Tolerance Limit <br /> P <br /> When the background data set contains greater than 50 percent but less than 100 percent <br /> nondetect values and/or its distribution is not normal (or transformed normal), Sanitas applies the <br /> nonparametric tolerance limit method. However,this method requires a large number of samples <br /> to achieve a false positive rate of 1 percent or less,which is required by CCR Title 23, Chapter <br /> 15,Article 5 guidelines. Thus,when the alpha level was higher than 1 percent,the concentration <br /> limit was not established and data was compared to established limits in the Waste Disharge <br /> Requirements. <br /> Nonstatistical Approach <br /> contains 100 percent nondetect values Sanitas applies the <br /> When the background data set co p pp <br /> nonstatistical approach. This approach takes into consideration that if historically a constituent <br /> has not been detected, any detection of that constituent would be considered an exceedance. <br /> Thus, in these situations (100 percent nondetected values),the tolerance limit is set at"detect", <br /> meaning that if a value is detected above its method detection limit,this value is an exceedance ' <br /> of the concentration limit. <br /> r <br /> Foothill Sanitary Landfill Department of Public Works/Solid Waste <br /> 4"Quarter and Annual 2002 Groundwater Monitoring Report D-2 County of San Joaquin <br />
