CRA MEMORANDUM Page 2 <br /> SAMPLE QUANTITATION <br /> The laboratory reported detected concentrations of analytes below the laboratory's practical quantitation <br /> limit (PQL)/report limit (RL). The detections between the PQL/RL and the method detection limit (MDL) <br /> have been qualified as estimated. <br /> SAMPLE PRESERVATION AND HOLDING TIMES <br /> Sample holding time periods and preservation requirements are summarized in the analytical methods. All <br /> sample extractions and/or analyses were performed within the specified holding times. <br /> All samples were properly preserved and cooled after collection. <br /> METHOD BLANK SAMPLES <br /> Method blank samples are prepared from a purified sample matrix and are processed concurrently with <br /> investigative samples to assess the presence and the magnitude of sample contamination introduced during <br /> sample analysis. Method blank samples are analyzed at a minimum frequency of one per analytical batch <br /> and target analytes should be non-detect. <br /> Method blanks were analyzed at the recommended frequency and all results were non-detect for the <br /> compounds of interest. <br /> SURROGATE COMPOUNDS-ORGANIC ANALYSES <br /> Individual sample performance for organic analyses was monitored by assessing the results of surrogate <br /> compound percent recoveries. Surrogate percent recoveries are reviewed against the laboratory developed <br /> control limits provided in the analytical report. <br /> All surrogate recoveries met the method criteria, demonstrating acceptable analytical efficiency for these <br /> analyses. <br /> LABORATORY CONTROL SAMPLE (LCS) <br /> The LCS analysis serves as a monitor of the overall performance in all steps of the sample analysis and are <br /> analyzed with each sample batch. The LCS percent recoveries were evaluated against method and <br /> laboratory established control limits. <br /> Laboratory control samples (LCS) were analyzed for all parameters. All LCS were analyzed in duplicate <br /> with the exceptions of ammonia, sulfide,TOC and DOC. All recoveries were within required control limits <br /> showing adequate analytical accuracy and precision. <br />
