WASTE DISCHARGE 13'EQUIREMENTS ORDER NO.R5-2003-004.9 FORWARD INC. AND ALLIED WASTE INDUSTRIES -21- FOR OPERATION OF FORWARD CLASS 11 LANDFILL SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY column or second method confirmation procedures shall be performed to attempt to identify and more accurately quantify the unknown analyte. 16. The statistical method shall account for data below the practical quantitation.limit(PQL) with one or more statistical procedures that are protective of human health and the envirorunent. Any PQL validated pursuant to §20415(e)(7)of Title 27 that is used in the statistical method shall be the lowest concentration (or value) that can be reliably achieved within limits of precision and accuracy specified in the WDRs for routine laboratory operating conditions that are available to the facility. The Discharger's technical report, pursuant to §20415(e)(7)of Title 27, shall consider the AQLs listed in Appendix IX to Chapter 14 of Division 4.5 of Title 22, California Code of Regulations, for guidance when specifying limits of precision and accuracy. For any given constituent monitored at a background or dowugradient monitoring point, an indication that falls between the MD[,, and the 1.'(ZL for that constituent(hereinafter called a"trace"detection) shall be identified and used in appropriate statistical or nonstatistical.tests. Nevertheless, for a statistical method that is compatible with the proportion of censored data(trace and ND indications) in the data set, the Discharger can use the laboratory's concentration estimates in the trace range (if available) for statistical analysis, in order to increase the statistical power by decreasing the number of"ties". 17. The Discharger may propose an alternate statistical method [to the methods listed under 27 CCR §20415(e)(8)(A-D)j in accordance with. §20415(e)(8)(E) of Title 27, for review and approval by the Executive Officer. Upon receiving written approval from the Executive Officer, alternate statistical procedures may be used.for determining the significance of analytical results for common laboratory contaminants (i.e.,methylene cliloride, acetone, diethylhexyl phthalate, and di-n-octyl phthalate). Nevertheless, analytical results involving detection of these analytes in any background or downgradient sample shall be reported and.flagged for easy reference by Board staff . 18. The Discharger shall use the following noustatistical method for the'VO'C,�t,and VOC (soil Pore Cas)Monitoring Parameters and for all Constituents of Concern which are not 9P9 amenable to th.c statistical tests above (i.e., less than 10% of the data from background samples that equal or exceed their respective XML). Each qualifying constituent at a monitoring point shall be determined based on either; a. The data from a single sample.for that constituent, taken during that repurting period from that monitoring point, or b. The data from the sample which contains the largest number of, qualifying constituents, where several independent samples have been analyzed for that constituent at a given monitoring point. £Z d O 1Z050£££9 'ON/99:£L 'iS/£0: V l 90OZ O l 10r (NON) W0di
