Certificate of Analysis <br />Notes: <br />The Chain of Custody document and Sample Integrity Sheet are part of the analytical report. <br />Any remaining sample(s) for testing will be disposed of according to BSK's sample retention policy unless other arrangements are made in <br />advance. <br />All positive results for EPA Methods 504.1 and 524.2 require the analysis of a Field Reagent Blank (FRB) to confirm that the results are not <br />a contamination error from field sampling steps. If Field Reagent Blanks were not submitted with the samples, this method requirement has <br />not been performed. <br />Samples collected by BSK Analytical Laboratories were collected in accordance with the BSK Sampling and Collection Standard Operating <br />Procedures. <br />J -value is equivalent to DNQ (Detected, not quantified) which is a trace value. Atrace value is an analyte detected between the MDL and the <br />laboratory reporting limit. This result is of an unknown data quality and is only qualitative (estimated). Baseline noise, calibration curve <br />extrapolation below the lowest calibrator, method blank detections, and integration artifacts can all produce apparent DNQ values, which <br />contribute to the un -reliability of these values. <br />(1) - Residual chlorine and pH analysis have a 15 minute holding time for both drinking and waste water samples as defined by the EPA and <br />40 CFR 136. Waste water and ground water (monitoring well) samples must be field filtered to meet the 15 minute holding time for dissolved <br />metals. <br />Field tests are outside the scope of laboratory accreditation and there is no certification available for field testing. <br />Summations of analytes (i.e. Total Trihalomethanes) may appear to add individual amounts incorrectly, due to rounding of analyte values <br />occurring before or after the total value is calculated, as well as rounding of the total value. <br />RL Multiplier is the factor used to adjust the reporting limit (RL) due to variations in sample preparation procedures and dilutions required for <br />matrix interferences. <br />Due to the subjective nature of the Threshold Odor Method, all characterizations of the detected odor are the opinion of the panel of <br />analysts. The characterizations can be found in Standard Methods 2170B Figure 2170:1. <br />The MCLs provided in this report (if applicable) represent the primary MCLS for that analyte. <br />(2) - Formerly known as Bis(2-Chloroisopropyl) ether. <br />Unless otherwise noted, TOC results by SM 5310C method do not include purgeable organic carbon, which is removed along with the <br />inorganic carbon interference. The POC contribution to TOC is considered to be negligible. <br />The results in this report apply to the samples analyzed in <br />accordance with the chain of custody document. This <br />analytical report must be reproduced in its entirety. <br />AFH3921 <br />General <br />AFH3921 FINAL 09152022 1628 <br />www.BSKAssociates.com I Page 6 Of= <br />
