Those methods not found in <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 /> LABORATORY ANALYSES TERMINOLOGY: <br /> TPH-G Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon, Gasoline.GC/FID(5030)8015 mod or GC/MS 8260 <br /> TPH-D Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon, Diesel,GC/FID(3550), 8015 mod or GC/MS 8260 <br /> BTX&E Benzene, Toluene,Xylene&Ethyl Benzene, GC/PID 8020 or GC/MS 8260 <br /> CL HC Chlorinated Hydrocarbon, GC/HSD 8010,GC/MS 8240 <br /> TOTAL LEAD Total lead,AA 7420, AA 7421 or ICP-AES 6010 <br /> MTBE,TAME,DIPE,TBA GC/MS 8260 <br /> METALS ICAP or AA Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry 6010 or Atomic Absorption Spectrometry 7000. <br /> Metals:Cadmium,Chromium III and VI,Lead,Zinc and Nickel. <br /> PCB Polychlorinated Biphenyls.

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. <br /> EH 23 046 (Revised 10/19/98) Page 8 <br />
