ANALYTICAL RESULTS FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL

INVESTIGATION OF SIX SITES ON KIRTLAND AIR

FORCE BASE, NEW MEXICO, 1993-94

By Ralph Wilcox

ABSTRACT

The analytical results of a field environmental investigation of six sites on Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, are presented. The field data were collected September 9,1993, through February 3,1994. The six sites investigated include: (1) silver recovery units (site 22), (2) a buried caustic drain line (site 23), (3) a neutralization pit (site 24), (4) an evaporation/infiltration pond (site 25), (5) the Manzano fire training area (site 26), and (6) a waste oil underground storage tank (site 27). Samples of soil, pond sediment, soil gas, and water and sediment in floor drains were collected and analyzed in the investigation. Sediment and water samples collected from floor drains were analyzed for silver at site 22. Soil samples collected adjacent to sites 23-25 and pond- sediment samples collected from site 25 were analyzed for metals, fluoride, and pH. Soil samples collected from site 26 were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons, ignitability, metals, volatile and semivolatile organic compounds, dioxins, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Soil-gas samples collected adjacent to site 26 were qualitatively analyzed for volatile organic compounds using a portable gas chromatograph. Soil samples adjacent to site 27 were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons, metals, volatile and semivolatile organic compounds, and pH. Field quality-control samples (equipment blanks, trip blanks, and duplicates) were analyzed along with the environmental samples. Quality-control sample results are presented.

INTRODUCTION

The objective of this investigation is to characterize possible environmental contamination at six sites on Kirtland Air Force Base (AFB), New Mexico (table 1, back of the report). The six sites were investigated on Kirtland AFB because past or current site activities could have resulted in contamination of soil, pond sediment, and water and sediment in drains. The investigation was performed in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence, Brooks AFB, Texas.

Purpose and Scope

This report presents the analytical results of a field investigation of six sites on Kirtland AFB, New Mexico (figs. 1 and 2 and table 1). The six sites investigated include: (1) silver recovery units (site 22), (2) a buried caustic drain line (site 23), (3) a neutralization pit (site 24), (4) an evaporation/infiltration pond (site 25), (5) the Manzano fire training area (site 26), and (6) a waste oil underground storage tank (site 27). The scope of the investigation includes the collection and analysis of environmental samples of soil, pond sediment, soil gas, and water and sediment in floor drains. Field quality-control (QC) samples were collected and analyzed in association with the environmental samples. This report contains descriptions of the analytical results of the environmental samples and the associated field QC samples.

Description of the Study Area

Kirtland AFB is located southeast of and adjacent to the city of Albuquerque, in central New Mexico (fig. 1). The area designated as Kirtland AFB presently (1994) includes 52,287 acres owned, leased, or operated by the U.S. Air Force, some in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Forest Service. At present, the basic missions of Kirtland AFB are training, research, and the development of weapons.

Sites 22-25 and 27 are located in the northwestern part of Kirtland AFB (fig. 2), which is mostly an urban/industrial area with some urban residential areas. Site 26 is located in a relatively undeveloped area between the riding club and the Manzano area (fig. 2).

SITE DESCRIPTIONS AND ANALYTICAL RESULTS

Site 22-Silver Recovery Units (WP-47)

Site 22 is composed of four floor drains in the Kirtland AFB Photographic Laboratory in the north part of building 1000 that previously have received discharge from silver recovery units (fig. 3): one drain in room 128, location 2201; two drains in room 116, locations 2202 and 2203; and one drain in room 132, location 2204. Silver recovery units electrolytically recover silver, a by-product of the photographic process. Spent photographic "fixer" is run through a special cartridge within the unit. Wastewater from the unit discharges to the floor drain, which ultimately flows to the sanitary sewer. If a silver recovery unit malfunctions or operates inefficiently silver could be discharged.

The drain in room 132 has been inactive for several years. Silver recovery units have been active intermittently at the other three locations, but none of the drains was receiving wastewater from a silver recovery unit at the time of sampling (September 1993).

Samples of the material in the traps of the four floor drains were collected, as described later in the section on floor-drain sampling, and analyzed for silver. Tap water had been flowing into the floor drains at locations 2201, 2202, and 2203 prior to sampling. The aqueous and sediment fractions of the samples from these locations were separated at the laboratory, and each fraction was analyzed for silver. The sample from location 2204 consisted of dry pieces of rust. Table 2 (back of the report) contains the silver-concentration data reported in the samples collected at this site.

Site 23-Buried Caustic Drain Line (ST-270), Site 24-Neutralization Pit (ST-271), and Site 25-Evaporation/Infiltration Pond (ST-273)

Sites 23, 24, and 25 are located east of building 617 (fig. 4). Building 617 contains the Phillips Laboratory Chemical Laser Facility. The facility is currently active and has been operating since about 1974.

The caustic drain line is constructed of 6-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe. A south- flowing drain originates inside building 617, and an east-flowing drain originates along the southern edge of the building. The drains converge near the southeastern corner of building 617 (fig. 4). The east-flowing drain line is buried (base of pipe) approximately 0.7 foot at its origin. The base of the drain pipe is approximately 2.2 feet below land surface where it discharges into the neutralization pit. The drain conveys diluted, spent laser fuel from the building 617 complex. The laser fuel is an equal mixture of hydrogen peroxide (70 percent semiconductor grade) fixed with potassium hydroxide. Deuterated hydrogen peroxide also has been used in small amounts. When the fuel is depleted it is flushed out of the laser with tap water and pumped into the caustic drain. The depleted fuel has a very high pH. The drain also conveys liquid wastes received from scrubbers in building 617. Potassium hydroxide is used to scrub chlorine and iodine gases.

The neutralization pit is a concrete box measuring 8.5 feet wide by 16.5 feet long by 6.1 feet deep. The top of the pit is open to the atmosphere and covered with a metal grate. The base of the pit is approximately 1 foot thick, and the thickness of the walls is not known. The concrete is visibly pitted on the base and the lower part of the walls of the pit, but no cracks or holes are visible. In the neutralization pit the depleted laser fuel and/or scrubber wastes are neutralized by adding either hydrochloric or sulfuric acid until the pH is reduced to 7. In the past nitric acid may have been used as the neutralizing agent. The pH-neutral water is then pumped out of the pit and into the evaporation/infiltration pond. /

The evaporation/infiltration pond is approximately 40 feet wide by 120 feet long and 6 feet deep at the center (fig. 5). Neutralized water flows into the pond through a 2.5-inch PVC pipe located in the southwest portion of the pond. The pond is estimated to receive approximately 400,000 gallons of neutralized water per year. The water is allowed to evaporate and infiltrate into the fine-grained sandy base.

Soil samples were collected from three locations adjacent to the caustic drain line (fig. 4), using soil sampling methods described later for hydraulically driven holes. The soil sample locations are approximately 2 feet to the side of the drain. One composite soil sample was collected at each location. The samples were composited over a 2-foot depth interval; the top of the sample interval was 3 feet beneath the drain. The soil samples were analyzed for metals (including antimony, mercury, selenium, and thallium), fluoride, pH, and moisture. Table 3 (back of the report) contains the analyte data reported in the samples collected at sites 23, 24, and 25. Only analytes with reported concentrations in one or more environmental samples are listed in table 3.

Soil samples were collected from two locations adjacent to the neutralization pit (fig. 4) using the same methodology as at the caustic drain. The sample locations were placed as close to the pit as possible. Sample location 2401 is located 6.8 feet north of the pit because the drilling equipment could not be maneuvered closer along the north side. One composite soil sample was collected from the 12- to 14-foot depth interval. Sample location 2402 is located approximately 1 foot south of the pit. Two composite soil samples were collected from the 9.1- to 11.0-foot and 14.5- to 16.5-foot depth intervals. The soil samples were analyzed for the same analytes as samples collected at the caustic drain, except for the deep sample collected at location 2402, which was analyzed only for metals (excluding mercury) (table 3).

Bottom-sediment samples were collected at four locations in the evaporation/infiltration pond (fig. 5) using the methods described later in the section on pond-sediment sampling. At the time of sampling (September 9,1993) the pond was approximately 1 foot deep at the sampling locations. Bottom-sediment samples were analyzed for the same analytes as soil samples collected at the caustic drain (table 3).

Soil samples were collected from four locations adjacent to the pond (fig. 5) and one location approximately 100 feet north of the pond (background soil sampling location for sites 23, 24, and 25) using the methodologies described later for pond sediment and hydraulically driven holes. Soil samples were collected at the surface and a composite sample from the 8.0- to 10.0-foot depth interval at each of the four locations adjacent to the pond (eight soil samples total). These soil samples were analyzed for lead. A composite soil sample was collected from the 4.0- to 8.0-foot depth interval at the background location (2505) and analyzed for the same analytes as the soil samples collected at the caustic drain (table 3).

Site 26-Manzano Fire Training Area (FT-14)

Site 26 is located near the Manzano area (fig. 2). The site, which is abandoned, consists of two burn pits about 60 feet apart (fig. 6). Each pit contains about 400 square feet of soil darkened with carbonaceous material. The total area of the western pit is about 500 square feet, and the area of the eastern pit is slightly more than 1,000 square feet. Both pits are 2 to 3 feet deep, with earthen berms that rise 1 to 2 feet above the surrounding land surface. Information is limited on the procedures used and the duration and frequency of fire training exercises. The site may have been abandoned for 20 years.

Soil samples were collected from 11 locations in the burn pits (fig. 6) using soil sampling methods described later for hand augering, hollow-stem augering, and hydraulically driven holes. In the western pit a soil sample was collected near the surface (0.2-foot depth) at each location and then every 5 feet to a depth of 21 feet (composite samples from depths of 4 to 6 feet, 9 to 11 feet, 14 to 16 feet, and 19 to 21 feet). At location 2603 additional, deeper soil samples were collected approximately every 10 feet to a depth of 83 feet (composite samples from depths of 29 to 31 feet, 39 to 41 feet, 50 to 51 feet, 60 to 61 feet, 70 to 71 feet, and a point sample at 83 feet). In the eastern pit a soil sample was collected at the surface (0.2-foot depth) at each location and then every 5 feet to a depth of 11 feet (composite samples from depths of 4 to 6 feet and 9 to 11 feet).

Soil samples collected at the Manzano fire training area were screened for VOC contamination in the field by measuring with a Photovac TIP that had been calibrated with isobutylene calibration gas having a concentration of 100 parts per million plus or minus 5 percent. Table 4 (back of the report) lists the field screening measurements for this site.

Soil samples collected at the Manzano fire training area were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons, ignitability, metals (including antimony, mercury, selenium, and thallium), VOC's, semivolatile organic compounds, dioxins, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, and moisture. Table 5 (back of the report) contains the analyte data reported for the samples collected at site 26. Only analytes with reported concentrations in one or more environmental samples are listed in table 5.

A soil-gas survey was conducted at site 26 using the soil-gas sampling method described later. Soil gas was sampled at 12 locations (fig. 6): four locations surrounding the eastern pit and eight locations surrounding the western pit. No VOC's were detected in the soil-gas samples.

Site 27-Waste Oil Underground Storage Tank (ST-326)

Site 27 is located west of building 20375, the auto hobby shop (fig. 7). The tank is used for temporary storage of waste engine oil and dry cleaning solvent used at the auto hobby shop. The site is active, and the tank may have been in place for 20 to 30 years. The tank is filled by a drain in building 20375. The drain line is attached at a "T" to a vertical discharge pipe attached to the top of the tank. A contractor periodically (every 3 to 4 months) pumps out the contents of the tank through the discharge pipe. The storage tank is constructed of stainless steel and has a capacity of 500 gallons. The base of the tank is buried 7.5 feet beneath the top of a concrete box located at the surface. The orientation of the tank is not known.

Soil samples were collected from four locations adjacent to the storage tank (fig. 7) and one location 139 feet north-northwest of the tank (background soil sampling location for site 27) using the soil-sampling method described later for hydraulically driven holes. Each of the four sample locations adjacent to the tank is located 7 feet from the tank discharge pipe. Two composite soil samples were collected at each location: an upper sample with the top of the composited depth interval at the base of the tank and a lower sample with the top of the composited depth interval 5 feet below the base of the tank. Two composite soil samples were collected at the background location from depth intervals of 6 to 12 feet and 13 to 15 feet.

Soil samples collected at site 27 were screened for VOC contamination in the field by measuring with a Photovac TIP that had been calibrated with isobutylene calibration gas with a concentration of 100 parts per million plus or minus 5 percent. The screening measurements ranged from 0.4 to 1.0 part per million.

The soil samples collected at the waste oil underground storage tank were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons, metals (including antimony, mercury, selenium, and thallium), VOC's, semivolatile organic compounds, pH, and moisture. Table 6 (back of the report) contains the analyte data reported for the samples collected at site 27. Only analytes with reported concentrations in environmental samples are listed in table 6.

The trip blank sample is used to determine if environmental samples (samples collected at the sites) have been contaminated by VOC's while the samples are being held in the field or being shipped to the laboratory. All environmental samples were shipped to Rocky Mountain Analytical Laboratory (RMAL), a division of ENSECO, Inc., in Arvada, Colorado, for VOC analysis. The samples were accompanied by a trip blank sample that was also analyzed for VOC's. The trip blank samples were prepared with reagent water by the laboratory and shipped to the field. A trip blank sample was placed in the cooler that would hold samples for VOC analysis at the beginning of each field sampling day. The trip blank sample stayed with the environmental samples until they were unpacked at the laboratory. Twelve trip blanks were analyzed during this investigation. Not all the trip blanks contained detected VOC's. The VOC's detected in the trip blanks are listed in table 7 (back of the report).

The equipment blank sample is used to determine if environmental samples have been contaminated by field sampling equipment. One equipment blank sample was collected for each day of sample collection. The equipment blank samples were prepared by pouring reagent water through the sampling device and collecting the water in sample containers. Equipment blank samples were analyzed for the same constituents as the environmental samples collected at each site. Sixteen equipment blank samples were collected during this investigation. The analytes detected in 15 of the equipment blanks are listed in table 8 (back of the report). The 16th equipment blank sample was collected at site 22 and was analyzed only for silver; none was detected.

The duplicate sample is used to determine the precision of analytical results. Precision is defined as the degree of similarity between independent measurements of the same quantity, without reference to the known or true value. The precision of analytical data can be assessed by calculating the relative percent difference (RPD) between environmental samples and duplicate samples. The smaller the RPD is, the more precise and reproducible the analytical data are. The RPD is calculated using the following formula:

RPD = absolute value (environmental sample - duplicate samp (environmental sample + duplicate sample) / 2

ie) x 100 (1)

One field duplicate sample was collected for every 10 environmental samples and analyzed for the same constituents as the environmental samples. A duplicate sample was collected by splitting an environmental sample into two sets of sample containers. The duplicate samples were assigned consecutive sample numbers and shipped to RMAL as environmental samples. Ten duplicate samples were collected during this investigation. The RPE^s for analytes detected in duplicate samples are listed in table 9 (back of the report). The RPD has been calculated only for analytes detected in both the environmental sample and the environmental duplicate sample.

FIELD DATA-COLLECTION TECHNIQUES

A total of 113 samples of soil, pond sediment, floor-drain water and sediment, and soil gas were collected at the six sites from September 9, 1993, through February 3, 1994 (figs. 3-7). Samples are identified by a 12-character string of letters and numbers. For example, the field sample identification number KAFB260502-1 is derived as follows: KAFB signifies Kirtland AFB, 26 signifies the investigation site, 05 signifies the sample location, 02 signifies the second sample collected at this location, and -1 signifies a soil or predominantly sediment sample. A field sample number ending with -2 would signify a water sample.

Soil Sampling

Soil sampling began September 14, 1993. The initial phase of soil sampling at sites 23-27 was completed November 17, 1993. Soil samples were collected using the following three methods: (1) shallow (0.2-foot depth) samples were collected with a hand auger, (2) intermediate (0.2- to 50-foot depth) samples were collected using the Geoprobe1 coring system, and (3) deep (greater than 50-foot depth) samples were collected using a hollow-stem auger coring method.

Soil samples were collected from near land surface (0.2-foot depth) at site 26 (fig. 6) with a stainless steel hand auger. Sample jars were filled by pouring in the auger contents. Samples collected for volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis were shipped in 40-milliliter glass vials. The hand auger was decontaminated prior to use at each sampling location by the following method: (1) scrubbing with a Liqui-nox and potable water solution, (2) rinsing with potable water, (3) rinsing with deionized water, (4) rinsing with pesticide-free grade methanol, and (5) rinsing with pesticide-free grade hexane and allowing to dry.

The Geoprobe coring system was used to collect soil samples between depths of 0.2 and 50 feet at sites 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27. Soil samples were collected by driving a 2-foot-long steel core barrel, containing an inner sleeve, through the appropriate depth interval. The inner sleeve filled with soil as the core barrel was driven downward. Soil samples that were analyzed for inorganic compounds were collected in acetate or brass sleeves, and those analyzed for organic compounds were collected in brass sleeves. The brass sleeves are 2 feet in length and approximately 1 inch in diameter. A plastic outer cover holds together four 6-inch sections of brass sleeve. Samples for VOC analysis were prepared by separating one of the middle 6-inch sections of sleeve, covering the ends with oil-free aluminum foil, and capping the ends. Sample jars for other analyses were then directly filled from the remaining sections of brass sleeve.

The Geoprobe coring tools (drill rods, core barrels, and associated equipment) were decontaminated prior to use at each sampling location by washing with a high-pressure hot water solution of Liqui-nox and potable water and rinsing with high-pressure hot potable water. The acetate and brass sleeves were decontaminated in the same manner as the drilling tools, followed by a rinse with deionized water.

Soil samples from depths of 50 feet or more at site 26 (borehole 2603) (fig. 6) were collected in a steel split-spoon core barrel using the hollow-stem auger drilling method. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Wyoming District provided support for hollow-stem auger drilling and associated soil sampling. Samples were collected for VOC analysis by pushing a brass sleeve, 6 inches long and approximately 1 inch in diameter, into the core. The ends of the brass sleeve were covered with oil-free aluminum foil, then capped. Sample jars for other analyses were then filled by pushing them into the core.

The back of the drill rig and the augers were decontaminated prior to moving onto the drill site by washing with a high-pressure hot water solution of Liqui-nox and potable water and rinsing with high-pressure hot potable water. The split-spoon sample barrel was decontaminated prior to each sample run in the same manner as described above for the hand auger.

Pond-Sediment Sampling

Pond-sediment samples were collected September 9, 1993. Sediment samples were collected from the bottom of the evaporation/infiltration pond (site 25) by pushing sample jars directly into the sediment. Soil samples were collected at the land surface adjacent to the pond using the same technique.

Floor-Drain Sampling

Floor-drain samples were collected September 21-22,1993. Samples of water and sediment from the traps of four floor drains at site 22 (fig. 3) were collected with a plastic scoop or peristaltic pump. The floor drain at location 2204 was sampled with a scoop made from a 250-milliliter polyethylene sample bottle. At the time of sampling, this drain had not been used for several years, and the trap contained what appeared to be pieces of rust.

Page 19: ANALYTICAL RESULTS FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL … · 2010-12-17 · INVESTIGATION OF SIX SITES ON KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, NEW MEXICO, 1993-94 By Ralph Wilcox U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Open-File

The other three floor drains at this site were sampled with a peristaltic pump. The suction end of the pump tubing was placed at the base of the trap, about 2 feet below the floor surface, and an acetate tube was used to stir up sediment in the trap as a water and sediment sample was pumped from each trap. The peristaltic pump tubing and the acetate tube were decontaminated prior to use at each sampling location by the following method: (1) washing with a Liqui-nox and potable water solution, (2) rinsing with potable water, and (3) rinsing with deionized water.

Soil-Gas Sampling

A soil-gas survey was conducted at site 26 (fig. 6) on January 19-20,1994. At each soil-gas location a steel probe rod was hydraulically driven to a depth of 5 feet with the Geoprobe drilling system. The tip of each probe rod was equipped with a disposable steel drive point. The probe rod was retracted approximately 1 inch to drop the disposable drive point and to expose the open hole for soil-gas withdrawal. A low-volume vacuum pump was used to withdraw soil gas at a rate of approximately 200 milliliters per minute. The flow of soil gas was monitored with a flowmeter to ensure that the soil-gas probe was not plugged and that soil gas was being collected. Two liters of soil gas were withdrawn to purge the system prior to collection of a soil- gas sample for analysis. The soil-gas samples were collected with gas-tight syringes through a septum in a sampling port located in line between the probe and the vacuum pump.

The soil-gas samples were analyzed with a Photo vac 10S50 gas chromatograph equipped with a photoionization detector (10.6-electron volt lamp potential) and a dimethyl pplysiloxane capillary column. The gas chromatograph was configured for precolumn backflush operation.

Standards were prepared daily at two concentrations (table 10, back of the report) from a stock-standard solution obtained from the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory. The methodology used to prepare the working standards is described by Brock (1990). Standards were analyzed as required to monitor changing response factors and retention times. Other QC samples (instrument blanks, equipment blanks, and ambient conditions blanks) were analyzed to check for possible sources of false-positive results.

LABORATORY ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES

RMAL performed chemical analyses of soil, sediment, and water samples. Dioxin analyses were performed by ENSECO California Analytical Laboratory. The analytical methods used in this investigation and the sources of the analytical methods are listed in table 11 (back of the report).

Detection Limits and Quantitation Limits

The instrument detection limit (IDL) is the smallest signal above background noise that an instrument can reliably detect. IDUs are laboratory specific and are determined en the basis of the analytical results of seven replicate standards on 3 nonconsecutive days.

The method detection limit (MDL) (table 12, back of the report) is the minimum concentration of an analyte that can be identified, measured, and reported with 99-percent confidence that the analyte concentration is greater than zero. MDL's are laboratory specific and are determined on the basis of the analytical results of a minimum of seven replicate samples spiked at one to five times the expected detection limit.

15

Page 20: ANALYTICAL RESULTS FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL … · 2010-12-17 · INVESTIGATION OF SIX SITES ON KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, NEW MEXICO, 1993-94 By Ralph Wilcox U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Open-File

The practical quantitation limit (PQL) (table 12) is the lowest level that can be reliably determined within specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine laboratory operating conditions. The laboratory uses the term reporting limit (RL) instead of QL.

PQUs are determined by the laboratory approximately annually for each analyte in each method. The PQUs are based on MDL data for organic and wet chemistry analyses and on IDL data for metals analyses. The PQUs are generally two to five times the IDUs or MDUs. PQUs are adjusted for sample dilution. Results between IDL/MDL and PQL are flagged with the letter J as estimates because, by definition, the reliability of the data at this level is questionable.

Laboratory Quality-Assurance/Quality-Control Procedures

The laboratory quality-assurance/quality-control (QA/QC) program consisted of operational controls used to ensure that the generated data meet predefined requirements for precision and accuracy and that the instituted system documents the effectiveness of these controls. The QA/QC program has provisions to meet the following three objectives: (1) monitor the laboratory's daily performance of an analytical method, (2) assess the effect of a specific sample matrix on the performance of the analytical method, and (3) monitor long-term performance to detect trends or systematic error. Laboratory performance QC was based on the use of a standard control matrix to generate precision and accuracy data that were compared on a daily basis to control limits. This information, in conjunction with method blank data, was used to assess daily laboratory performance. Matrix-specific QC is based on the use of actual environmental samples for precision and accuracy determinations, and commonly relies on the analysis of matrix spikes, matrix duplicates, and matrix spike duplicates. This information, supplemented with field blank results, was used to assess the effect of the matrix and field conditions on analytical data. The laboratory reported all laboratory QC results with each set of environmental sample results. The quality assessment of the data was based on the results of laboratory and field QC results.

Laboratory performance QC was provided as a standard part of every routine analysis through the analysis of laboratory control samples (LCS's). The LCS's include duplicate control samples (DCS's), single control samples (SCS's), and method blanks. LCS's are well- characterized, laboratory-generated samples used to monitor the laboratory's day-to-day performance of routine analytical methods. Certain LCS's were used to monitor the precision and accuracy of the analytical process, and others were used to identify any background interference or contamination of the analytical system that could lead to the reporting of elevated concentration levels or false positive data. Results of the LCS's were compared to well-defined laboratory acceptance criteria to determine whether the laboratory system was "in control." Controlling lab operations with LCS's (as opposed to matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate samples) is advantageous because LCS's can differentiate low recoveries due to procedural errors from those due to matrix effects. The three types of LCS's are described below.

Duplicate Control Samples

Duplicate control samples (DCS's) were used to monitor the precision and accuracy of the analytical system on an ongoing basis. Each DCS consists of a standard control matrix that was spiked with a group of target compounds representative of the method analyte. A DCS pair was analyzed for every 20 samples processed by the method. DCS's were analyzed with environmental samples to provide evidence that the laboratory was performing the method within accepted QC guidelines for accuracy and precision.

16

Page 21: ANALYTICAL RESULTS FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL … · 2010-12-17 · INVESTIGATION OF SIX SITES ON KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, NEW MEXICO, 1993-94 By Ralph Wilcox U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Open-File

Accuracy (average recovery of each analyte in the DCS pair) and precision (RPD between each analyte in the DCS pair) data were compared to control limits that were established for each of the analytes contained in the DCS. The control limits for analytes spiked into DCS were defined on the basis of historical DCS data. Control limits for accuracy for each analyte were based on the historical average recovery (mean of the average recoveries of the DCS pairs) plus or minus three standard deviation units. Control limits for precision for each analyte were based on the historical RPD and range from zero (no difference between DCS results) to the average RPD plus three standard deviation units.

Analytical data generated with a DCS pair that is within the established control limits were judged to be in control. Data generated with a DCS pair that is outside the control limits were considered suspect and were repeated or reported with qualifiers.

DCS's were established for each routine analytical method. Reagent water was used as the control matrix for the analysis of aqueous samples. The DCS compounds were spiked into reagent water and carried through the appropriate steps of the analysis. The control matrix for solid samples for organic analyses was standard Ottawa sand, an American Society for Testing Materials-approved material used for highway construction, due to its fine degree of homogeneity. The DCS compounds were spiked into the Ottawa sand and carried through the appropriate steps of the analysis. The DCS for solid samples for metals analyses was a spiked sand obtained from a commercial source. The DCS for some wet chemistry analytes was obtained from a commercial source. /

Single Control Samples

As previously stated, a DCS pair was analyzed for every 20 samples to measure the precision and accuracy of an analysis on an ongoing basis. Samples were often analyzed in lots of less than 20, however, due to holding time or turnaround time requirements. Because it was necessary to have a measure of laboratory performance with each batch of samples processed, the laboratory instituted the SCS program.

An SCS consists of a control matrix spiked with surrogate compounds appropriate to the method being used. In cases where no surrogate was available (for example, metals or conventional analyses), the analytes used for the DCS are spiked into the control sample. An SCS was prepared for each sample lot for which the DCS pair was not analyzed. Recovery data generated from the SCS were compared to control limits that had been established for each of the compounds being monitored. Control limits for analytes spiked into SCS were defined on the basis of historical data. Control limits for SCS components were based on the historical average recovery in the SCS plus or minus three standard deviation units.

Analytical data generated with an SCS within the control limits were judged to be in control. Data generated with an SCS outside of acceptance criteria were considered suspect and were reanalyzed or reported with qualifiers. The protocols for evaluating SCS's were identical to those established for DCS's.

Method Blanks

Method blanks, also known as reagent, analytical, or preparation blanks, were analyzed to assess the level of background interference or contamination that existed in the analytical system and that might lead to the reporting of elevated concentration levels or false positive data. As part of the standard laboratory QC program, a method blank was analyzed with every batch of samples processed. A method blank consists of reagents specific to the method that were carried through every aspect of the procedure, including preparation, clean up, and analysis. The results of the method blank analysis were evaluated, in conjunction with other QC information, to determine the acceptability of the data generated for that batch of samples.

Ideally, the concentration of target analytes in the method blank would be below the quantitation limit for that analyte. In practice, however, some common laboratory solvents and metals were difficult to eliminate to the levels reported in environmental analyses. Therefore, criteria for determining method blank acceptability were based on consideration of the analytical techniques used, analytes reported, and reporting limits required.

If the blank did not meet acceptance criteria, the source of contamination was investigated and appropriate corrective action was taken and documented. Investigation included an evaluation of the data to determine the extent and effect of the contamination on the sample results. Corrective actions included a reanalysis of the blank and/or repreparation and reanalysis of the blank and all associated samples. Sample results were not corrected for blank contamination.

Matrix-Specific Quality Control

Matrix-specific QC was used to assess the effects of a sample matrix on the analytical data. The main elements of matrix-specific QC in this investigation were analyzing matrix spikes and matrix spike duplicates and monitoring the recovery of surrogate compounds from environmental samples.

A matrix spike is an environmental sample spiked with known concentrations of analytes in the laboratory. A matrix spike duplicate is a duplicate environmental sample spiked in the same manner as the matrix spike, although the spiked concentrations may be different. The matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate, in addition to an unspiked sample, were taken separately through the entire analytical procedure, and the recovery of the analytes was calculated. The results were compared to determine the effects of the matrix on the precision and accuracy of the analysis. Results are expressed as percent recovery and RPD.

Surrogate Recoveries

Surrogates are organic compounds similar to analytes in chemical behavior but not normally found in environmental samples. Surrogates were added to samples to monitor the effect of the matrix on the accuracy of the analysis. Results are reported in terms of percent recovery.

The laboratory added surrogates to samples that required gas chromatograph/mass spectrometry analysis and reported these surrogate recoveries in the sample data package. The surrogate recoveries were used by the laboratory primarily to assess matrix effects. Obvious problems with sample preparation and analysis, such as evaporation to dryness or a leaking septum, that can lead to poor surrogate spike recoveries were ruled out prior to attributing the low surrogate recoveries to matrix effects.
