<br />All analyses methods are designated EPA methods described in EPA SW 846, Third Edition. Those methods not found
<br />in SW 846, are specifically noted below. Refer to the 'SWRCB LUFT Field Manual', Appendix A-20, Table 3-5 for
<br />detection limits of motor vehicle fuels (gasoline and diesel). Refer to 1-2-3 'Regional Board Staff Recommendations foi
<br />Initial Evaluation and Investigation of USTs' for the waste and motor oil detection limits.
<br />Detection Limits that remain below the MCL, STLC or Allowable Limit of the contaminant in question will be accepted,
<br />however laboratory shall utilize the most conservative method.

<br />Notes: To avoid false positive detection of benzene, benzene -free solvents are to be used. Fused capillary columns are
<br />preferred to packed columns; a packed column may be used as a 'first cut' with 'dirty' samples or once the hydrocarbons
<br />have been characterized and proper QA/AC is followed -
<br />For Drinking water sources, EPA recommends that the 500 series for volatile organics be used in preference to the 600
<br />series because the detection limits are lower and the QA/QC is better. Samples exhibiting any level of heavy metal
<br />contamination may require further analysis. PHS-EHD recommends holding these samples until disposal is indicated.
