If soil samples are to be analyzed for metals,they may be placed in laboratory-prepared clean glass jars. Soil should be cooled as indicated under Preservation and maximum holding times apply to both soil and water unless otherwise noted. 2 For analysis in California, use California DHS recommended procedure as presented in LUFT manual using gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector. In other states, local requirements should be followed. Method 3660M is silica gel cleanup. s EPA Method 8021 is equivalent to 8010/8020 in series. 4 Method to be used in California Regional Water Quality Control Board North Coast and Central Valley Regions. In other areas, local requirements should be followed. Method 5520F is silica gel cleanup. a Chloroethylvinylether may be detected at concentrations below 50 parts per billion due to degradation of HCI. EPA Method 8260B was formerly 8240. 6 If EPA Methods 8010 and 8020 are to be run in sequence, HCI may be added. Check with the project manager before adding acid.
