MINIMUM VERIFICATION LABORATORY ANALYSIS
<br />All analysis methods are the designated EPA methods described in EPA SW 846, Intra t:atnon. Inose tncu,uw Uu...u.....,,
<br />SW 846 are specifically noted below. Refer to the "SWRCB LUFT Field Manual", Appendix D (B), Table 3-5 on page A20 for
<br />minimum detection limits for motor vehicle fuel (gasoline and diesel). Refer to 1-2-3 "Regional Board Staff Recommendations
<br />for Initial Evaluation and Investigation of UST's" for the waste and motor oil minimum 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 />Quality Assurance/Quality Control
<br />Notes: To avoid false positive detection of benzene, benzene -free solvents are to be used. Fused capillary columns are preferred to packed
<br />columns; a packed column may be used as a "first cut" with "dirty" samples or once the hydrocarbons have been characterized and proper
<br />QA/QC is followed.
<br />For drinking water sources, EPA recommends that the 500 series for volatile organic should be used in preference to the 600 series because the
<br />detection limits are lower and the QA/QC is better. Samples exhibiting any level of heavy metal contamination may require further analysis.
<br />PHS-EHD recommends holding those samples until disposal is indicated.
