LABORATORY NARRATIVE <br /> Modified TO-3 <br /> Geological Technics <br /> ' Workorder##0412226 <br /> Three 1 Liter Tedlar Bag samples were received on December 10, 2004 The laboratory performed analysis <br /> ' for volatile organic compounds in air via modified EPA Method TO-3 using gas chromatography with photo <br /> ionization and flame ionization detection The method involves concentrating up to 200 mL of sample The <br /> concentrated aliquot is then dry purged to remove water vapor prior to entering the chromatographic system, <br /> ' The TPH (Gasoline Range)results are calculated using the response factor of Gasoline and correspond to the <br /> range of hydrocarbons from C5 to C10 A molecular weight of 100 is used to convert the TPH (Gasoline <br /> Range)ppmv result to ug/L See the data sheets for the reporting Inuits for each compound <br /> ' Method modifications taken to run these samples include <br /> Requirement TO-3 ATL Modifications <br /> Daily Calibration Standard Prior to sample analysis Prior to sample analysis and after the analytical batch</= <br /> Frequency and every 4-6 hrs 20 samples <br /> ' Initial Calibration Calculation 4-point calibration 5-point calibration using average Response Factor <br /> using a linear <br /> regression model <br /> Initial Calibration Frequency Weekly When daily calibration standard recovery is outside 75- <br /> 125%,or upon significant changes to procedure or <br /> instrumentation <br /> Moisture Control Nafion system Sorbent system <br /> ' Minimum Detection Limit(MDL) Calculated using the 40 CFR Pt 136 App S <br /> equation DL=A+3 3S, <br /> where A is intercept of <br /> calibration line and S is <br /> the standard deviation <br /> of at least 3 reps of <br /> ' low level standard <br /> Preparation of Standards Levels achieved Levels achieved through loading various volumes of the <br /> through dilution of gas gas mixture <br /> mixture <br /> 112�ce1V1I1 otos <br /> Sample identifications on the chain of custody were not unique The date or the time of collection was added <br /> to the identification to assure uniqueness <br /> Analytical Notes <br /> There were no analytical discrepancies <br /> 12grindionto QUadalIg Ejags <br /> Seven qualifiers may have been used on the data analysis sheets and indicate as follows <br /> B - Compound present in laboratory blank greater than reporting hmit <br /> ' Page 2 of 9 <br />
