Sample Case Flow-Chart

- When samples are received at CHEMWEST they arechecked by the sample custodian for proper chain-of-custody from the shipper*

- The samples are issued CHEMWEST ID numbers during logIn procedures, their picture is taken and a samplefile is prepared.

- A complete set of copies are made and given to thePresident, Vice-president of Marketing, Technical LabDirector, and all Managers associated with therequested analyses.

- Extraction sheets are prepared by the project managerand passed on to the laboratory chemists.

- The chemist is responsible for checking the samplesin and out of sample control by signing the "SampleControl Log Sheet".

- When the chemist has finished preparing the samplesfor analysis, copies of the extractionist notebookand sample extraction sheet are passed on to theappropriate chemist, _who will be analyzing thesamples. The sample extracts are stored in a securedrefrigerator until time of analysis.

- When the samples have been analyzed and allappropriate data collected, the data is reviewed byanother chemist of manager and data sheets areinitialed upon approval, (See the CHEMWEST QualityAssurance Program Manual, page 29 for Data ReviewProcess).

- Then all of the sample data is passed on to DataControl where the information is compiled into asample data package according to the deliverablesindex listed in the contract. A book prepared as aCLP case is used as the SOP for assembling the datapackage.

- The new sample data package is returned to theoriginal operator who acquired the data or theDepartment Manager for approval and initialing of thedata sheets.

LYTICAL LABORATORIES. INC

The case file is then reviewed by the project managerand finally by the CHEMWEST Vice-President ofTechnical Services. _

The case narrative for the case is signed by theVice-president of Technical Services or anotherqualified person (i.e. Project Manager, orEnvironmental Operations Manger).

The case is then copied and nailed to Vicr + co.,Sample Management Office, the appropriate EPA Regionand EKSL-Las Vegas using the same mode oftransportation for each.

The Data Control personnel are responsible for theorderly storage of sample documents in secured areas.EPA cases are kept in boxes having the EPA casenumber on them. Commercial samples are boxed inproduction, QC blank and QC spike/duplicatecontainers. The data specialist keep separate logsfor EPA case storage and commercial storage.

SAMPLE PRESERVATION

Complete and unequivocal preservation of samples, either domestic sewage, industrial wastes, ornatural waters, U a practical impossibility. Regardless of the nature of the sample, complete stabilityfor every constituent can never be achieved. At best, preservation techniques can only retard thechemical and biological changes that inevitably continue after the sample is removed from the parentsource. The changes that take place in s sample are either chemical or biological. In the former case,certain changes occur in the chemical structure of the constituents tthat are a function of physicalconditions. Metaf cations may precipitate as hydroxides or form complexes with other constituents;cations or unions may change valence sutes under certain reducing or oxidizing conditions; otherconstituents may dissolve or volatilize with the passage of time. Metal cations may also adsorb ontosurfaces (glass, plastic, quartz, etc.). such as, iron and lead. Biological changes taking place in asample may change the valence of an element or ft radical to a different valence. Soluble constituentsmay be convened to organically bound materials in cell structures, or cell lysis may result in releaseof cellular material into solution. The well known nitrogen and phosphorus cycles are example* ofbiological influence on sample composition. Therefore, as a general rule, it is best to analyze thesamples as soon as possible after collection. This is especially true whim the analyte concentration isexpected to be in the low ug/1 range.

Methods of preservation are relatively limited and are intended generally to (1) retard biologicalaction, (2) retard hydrolysis of chemical compounds and complexes, (3) reduce volatility ofconstituents, and (4) reduce absorption effects. Preservation methods are generally limited to pKcontrol, chemical addition, refrigeration, and freezing.

The recommended preservative for various constituents is given in Table 1. These choices are basedOn the accompanying references and on information supplied by various Quality AssuranceCoordinators. As more data become available, these recommended ho'!ding times will be adjusted toreflect new information. Other information provided in the table is an estimation of the volume ofcample required for the analysis, the suggested type of container, and the maximum recommendedholding times for samples properly preserved.

I. More specific instructions for preservation and sampling ait found with each procedure ASdetailed in this manual, A general discussion on sampling water and industrial wastewater maybe found in ASTM, Part 31, p. 72-82 (1976) Method D-3370.

2. Plastic (P) or Class (G). For metals, polyethylene with a polypropylene cap (no liner) ispreferred,

S. Sample preservation should be performed immediately upon sample collection. Forcomposite samples each aliquot should be preserved at the time of collection. When use ofan automated sampler makes it impossible to preserve each aliquot, then samples may bepreserved by maintaining at 4°C until compositing and lamplt splitting is completed.

4. When any sample is 10 be shipped by common carrier or sent through the United StatesMails, it must comply with the Department of Transportation Hazardous MaterialsRegulations (49 CFR Part 172). The person offering such material for transportation isresponsible for ensuring such compliance. For the preservation requirements of Table 1,the Office of Hazardous Materials, Materials Transportation Bureau, Department ofTransportation has determined that the Hazardous Materials Regulations do not apply 10the following materials: Hydrochloric acid (HCIJ in water solutions at concentrations of0.fM% by weight or less (pH about 1.96 or greater); Nitric acid (HNOj) in water solutionsatconcentrations of 0.15% by weight or less (pH about 1.62 or greater); Sulfuricacid (H*SO4>in water solutions at concentrations of 0.35% by weight or less (pH about 1.15 or greater);Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in water solutions at concentrations of 0.080% by weight orless (pH about 1240 or less).

5. Samples should be analyzed as soon as possible after collection. The times listed are themaximum limes that samples may be held before analysis and still considered valid.Samples may be held for longer period* only if the permittee, or monitoring laboratory.has data on file to show that the specific types of cample under study are stable lor thelonger time, and has received a variance from the Regional Administrator. Some samplesmay not be stable for ihe maximum time period given in the table. A permittee, ormonitoring laboratory, is obligated to hold ihe sample for a shorter time if knowledgeexists to show this is necessary to maintain sample stability.

6. Should only be used in the presence of residual chlorine.

AR'300885

XIX

7. Maximum holding time is 24 hours when sulfide is present. Optionally, all samples may /"be tested with lead acetate paper before the pH adjustment in order todeiermme if sulfideis present. If sulfide is present, it can be removed by ihe addition of cadmium nitratepowder until a negative spot test is obtained. The sample is filtered and then NaOH isadded to pH 12.

8. Samples should be filtered immediately on-site before adding preservative for dissolved Imetals.

9. For samples from non-chlorinated drinking water supplies cone. HjSC>4 should be addedto lower sample pH to l«s than 2. The sample should be analyzed before 14 days.

1-0 INTRODUCTION"AND OBJECTIVES

1.1 Introduction ___....__._,..__.,.

NAC is a multidisciplined environmental testing organization.The main area of NAC's services are environmental analyses andasbestos testing. The environmental analyses are performedby NAC's Laboratory Division. NAC's management is committedto providing excellence in all of its' services. TheLaboratory Division produces data which can be relied upon byNAC's clientele. Management support is evidence through theemployment. of high caliber and experienced chemists andtechnicians, the construction of new laboratory facilities andthe acquisition .of modern instrumentation. The LaboratoryDivision traces its history back to 1971. Over seventeen (17)years of growth has resulted in a full range of environmentalanalytical capabilities offered today.

NAC is located in Marlton, New Jersey in a modern custom built27,000 square foot facility. The Laboratory Division providesanalytical support to clients from industry, consultinggroups, commercial and government. The Division specializesin the trace or -microanalysis of environmental contaminantsin variety of matrices. Much of the Divisions work is insupport of regulatory compliance, environmental investigationand the development of design data for environmental control.

The technical requirements and legal impact dictates strictadherence to approved and regulated procedures. The latestin analytical.instrumentation is incorporated into proceduresof "analysis. Personnel are trained in all phases of theanalytical scheme with emphasis on quality control and qualityassurance.techniques.

The Laboratory Division has its' foremost goal to provide highquality analytical data. Every phase of the Divisionoperation is monitored toward producing laboratory resultswhich have a high confidence level and are fully supportable.The Division is oriented to the needs of the clients to thedegree that, analytical data meeting the high standards can bemet. The Laboratory Division will not undertake analyticalprojects which will result in data failing to qualify understrict QA/QC standards.

NAC recognizes the importance of the reputation of theLaboratory Division and believes that continued success willcome from uncompromising quality goals. Over the past several-years NAC's management has demonstrated its commitments to theLaboratory Division and high quality analytical servicesthrough expenditures of millions of dollars and the attractionof experienced and knowledgeable personnel. This/fcfifflDpAtygni.-is built into NAC's future plans through planned expfen<nTiirfi?st?Utraining programs and the recruitment of specializedlaboratory and administrative personnel. .,

1.2 Objectives and Policies _ . . . _ . .

The Quality Assurance/Quality Control QA/QC program of NAC'sLaboratory Division is designed to ensure the laboratory'sproduction of environmental analysis data in full compliancewith all regulatory procedures. The QA/QC program keeps allof NAC's procedures, SOPs and laboratory practices well withinthe guidelines and limits set by federal etnd state regulationsregarding accepted methods of analysis. The Program addressesthe Laboratory Division's organizational structure, thephysical facilities, the training and experience level oftechnical staff, operating procedures and reportingprocedures.

Operating procedures are detailed in the Laboratory AnalyticalMethods Standard Operating Procedures and Field SamplingStandard Operating Procedures. All of the Standard OperatingProcedures are readily available for examination by NAC'stechnical personnel. The proprietary nature of much of theinformation contained in NAC's QA/QC Program and SOPs requirespermission from the laboratory Division's Manager before theyare made available to non-laboratory personnel.

The SOPs form an integral part of the QA/QC Program.Procedures are defined for all aspects of sample collectionincluding preservation, decontamination of equipment, safetypractices and documentation. Sample holding times are definedfor parameters! of interest". .Procedures are spelled out indetail to facilitate analyses according to prescribed methods.Continuous control over samples is exercised from collectionto analysis, to reporting and finally retainage or disposal.This control is defined throughout Chain-of-Custodyprocedures. Analytical performance is monitored through theuse of'quality control techniques such as duplicate analysis,analysis of spiked samples, analysis of standards. The levelof QC samples exceeds all analytical guidelines published byregulatory authorities. _

NAC's QA/QC Program is utilized daily by the LaboratoryDivision's technical staff. The prograia including SOPs areupgraded _ continuously as new techniques and procedures areadopted by federal and state agencies.

Specific: guidelines for a project for sample siteselection, selection of sampling equipment, typesof" "samples to be collected, standard samplecollection procedures, specific maintenance andcalibration procedures for sampling equipment, andother considerations are based upon site-specificrequirements. ..__ _ _ .... . :

4.1,1 Selection and Preparation of Sampling Equipment

The material of which sampling equipment isconstructed can affect analytical results. Thematerial selected for sampling certain parametersmust not contaminate or alter the sample beingcollected, and must be easily cleaned so thatsamples are not cross-contaminated. Also, theaction of the sampling device must not alter thesample bey collected (e.g., using an air-lift pumpfor volatiles in water may purge the compounds ofinterest).

4.1.2 Sample Containers, Preservatives and Holding Times

KAC recognizes that proper containers andappropriate preservatives are necessary for thecollection of valid ..samples. In addition, thesample must ~~ be analyzed within a prescribed timeframe for each parameter. The Laboratory SamplePreservation Summary details permissible samplecontainers, preservatives, holding times and thevolume of sample needed. The requirements ,pg fflf-ft n c otable correspond with the guidelines w.n vJ U u Iry udocuments listed in section 4.1.

4.1.3 Sample Documentation

KAC utilizes proper sample documentation measures torecord pertinent field data and ensure the legal validityof" all collected samples. These sample documentationmeasures will provide a detailed, legal record of allsampling activities including: sample collection,preservation, chain-of-custodypossession, transportationand laboratory submittal. Key component sampledocumentation measures include utilization of thefollowing record materials: Laboratory Field SampleLabels, Sample Seals, Chain-of-Custody Forms andLaboratory Sample Log.

4.1,4 Sample Custody . . . . . . .

Evidentiary documentation procedures continue with thelaboratory. The designated Laboratory Sample Custodianwill "receive and document all sample subinittals into thelaboratory. The Laboratory Sample Custodian will examinethe condition, preservation, and accompanyingdocumentation of all submitted sample prior to approvaland formal acceptance into the laboratory. Any sample,preservation, or documentation discrepancies (i.e. brokensample container, improper preservations, inadequatesample volume, poor documentation, etc.) will beresolved before the. .sample is approved and actually

*. accepted for~analyses. All required acceptance data willthen "be feco:rded an documented in.temperature/preservation checklist (Figure 4-2), labelledand placed in the secure sample storage area for

i. distribution to the appropriate analyst(s).

Date: January 1987

1.0 Scope, .and Application .. . . . .

1.1..This is a procedure describing how the laboratoryassures that analyses are conducted within theirrequired holding times. - It is applicable to allparameters with EPA or NJDEP documented holding timesless than 30 days.

2 . 0 'Summary o f Method . . . . . " . ' . , . . .

2.1 When the samples are received, the sample custodianrecords the date that .each parameter must be analyzedby in order to be completed within proper holdingtimes. Each day, the .log of samples whose holdingtimes are about to expire is examined by the samplecustodian. The dates are checked against the jobfolder to determine if the analysis is complete. Ifthe . analysis has not been performed the LaboratoryManager is notified and the analysis is immediatelyscheduled so that the holding times are not violated.

3 . 0 "Definitions . . ........ . ; .. ... . . . _ . . " » . .

3.1 The EPA and NJDEP have established time limits withinwhich analyses must be performed'. If the analysis, isnot completed within the prescribed time limit the datawill probably be considered invalid. Holding timeshave been established for all regulated waterparameters and many soil parameters. Where no holdingtime is noted for soil parameters, NAC will adhere tothe - aqueous holding time. Sometimes the EPA holdingtimes are different from the NJDEP holding times. Itis essential to )cnow which regulatory agency haspreference. in most 'cases for NAC, the NJDEP holdin§times are prevalent. Note that holding times are legallimits that may not always reflect knowledge aboutchemical degradation or the lack thereof. It is thelegal .implications that make holding times soimportant. Holding times start as follo

3.1.1 -When the sampling date and time : are known, theholding time starts with the documented date andtime :.of sampling from the- Chain of -d.*-*"- 1'. (COC), bottle label or other document. - ;

1-0 Scope and Application

1.1 This is a procedure describing the proper use of chainof custody procedures. The primary objective is tocreate a written record which can be used to trace thepossession of a sample from its moment of collection toits disposal.

2.0 Summary of Method

2.1 A Chain of Custody (COC) document (Attachment) isfilled out by the field technician taking the sample.-Each change in the custody of the sample is recordeduntil its placement in a secure area of the laboratory.Its final disposal or disposition is noted on thedocument.

3.0 Definition

3.1 A sample is in someone's "custody1* if:

3.1.1 it. is in one's actual physical possession;

3.1.2 it is in one's view, after being in one'sphysical possession;

3.1.3 it is in one' s physical possession and thenlocked up so that no one can tamper with it;

3.1.4 it is kept in a secured area, restricted toauthorized personnel only.

3.2 This standard custody procedure does not extend tomovement of the sample within the laboratory. Once thelaboratory custodian has signed for the samples, thecustody chain remains as is except for finaldisposition or disposal.

5.0 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES ._..____. •___._/ _,

Laboratory Instruments

Northeastern Analytical Corporation (NAC) maintains specificprocedures for the operation and calibration of all analyticalinstruments. Along with proper maintenance, these practicesensure ..optimum instrument performance and accuracy. Theseprocedures include proper operator training and supervision;mandatory instrument performance specifications; andsystematic instrument calibration, verification, andmonitoring schedules.

The Laboratory utilizes mandatory instrument" performancespecifications to constantly ensure optimum instrumentalperformance. These performance specifications requireacceptable instrument response to specific performancestandards prior to initiating further instrument calibration

. and analyses. Acceptable instrument response criteria arebased upon the manufacture's or EPA's analytical methodspecifications.

Laboratory analysts record and document all instrumental runsin designated Laboratory Instrument Logbooks. These Logbooksidentify instrument operating parameters, settings, andperformance data associated with each instrumental run.

The Laboratory utilizes systematic instrument calibrationprocedures to constantly ensure analytical accuracy. Initialinstrument calibration curves are generated, systematicallyverified, and routinely monitored throughout the duration ofall instrumental analyses. Initial multipoint GC and GC/MScalibration curves are verified by injection of a knownworking standard every twelve (12) hours of instrumentoperations. An unacceptable working standard response (20%variation) requires construction of a new calibration curve.Other instrument calibration curves are constructedimmediately prior to analyses of each batch of samples. Allinitial instrument calibrations and/or verifications are thenroutinely monitored by systematic, repeat injections ofappropriate check standards throughout the duration ofanalyses. Additionally, all GC/MS analyses will utilizeinternal standards to ensure high quality data.

Specific calibration procedures for laboratory instrumentsincluding the frequency and standards used are listed in Table5-1 - CALIBRATION PROCEDURES. .

7.0 Internal Quality Assurance Practices

Assurance/Quality Control Program is designed to ensure thescientific and legal validity of all analytical results. TheQA/QC Program consists primarily of a laboratory documentationnetwork in combination with systematic inclusion of variousanalytical quality control practicles into all componentlaboratory operations. These quality control practices willprovide constant, documented evaluation and surveillance ofacceptable analytical method performance.

7.1 Internal Quality Control Checks

Analytical quality control checks are performed in thelaboratory. These procedures are based upon USEPAanalytical methods guidance and generally acceptedstandards of good laboratory practice as outlined inTable 6-1. Key components of the Laboratory AnalyticalQuality Control Program include the fol1owing qualitycontrol practices and considerations:

- adherence to specified Laboratory Sample AcceptanceProcedures to ensure proper handling, processing,and storage of submitted samples (Section 4).

__.._._._. utilization of USEPA-approved Analytical Methods andInstrumentation (Section 6 and 12).

adherence to mandatory procedures for Operation,Calibration, and Maintenance of LaboratoryInstrumentation (Section 5).

utilization of proper Laboratory MeasuringEquipment, Glassware, Water, Chemical Reagents,Industrial Gases.

- constant surveillance and documentation ofacceptable analytical method accuracy and precisionthrough Initial Analytical Method PerformanceEvaluations and matrix spike/spike duplicateevaluations method blanks, field and trip blanks,bias control sample and EMSL's.

utilization of continuous Surrogate Spike RecoveryEvaluations where appropriate to ensure acceptablemethod performance.

- utilization of systematic Method Blank Evaluationsto identify analytical system interferences andbackground contamination levels.

AR301002

7.1 Internal Quality Control Checks (Continued)

adherence to proper Laboratory Documentationmeasures to ensure the complete integrity and legalvalidity of all Laboratory analyses.

utilization of Voluntary Intralaboratory PerformanceEvaluations to internally assess and evaluateanalytical performance.

participation in numerous Laboratory certifications,audits, and approval programs.

7.1.1 .Data Quality

principle criteria for validating data qualityis the continuous monitoring of analyticalaccuracy , precision , and overal 1 methodperformance through systematic analysis of qualitycontrol samples. KAC conducts both initial andcontinuous analytical - method performanceevaluations _to ensure that all generatedanalytical data meet acceptable quality controlmethod performance "criteria established by theUSEPA and the Laboratory. Each analytical methodcommonly used in the laboratory utilizes specificquality control procedures to continually monitoracceptable analytical method accuracy andprecision. These method quality controlprocedures primarily involve the mandatorysystematic insertion of quality control samplesinto at least 10% of all laboratory analyses, inaddition to strict adherence to instrumentperformance and calibration specifications. Thesespecific quality control procedures are thoroughlydetailed in the Analytical Methods SOP in thequality assurance section and. are based upon USEPAmethod guidance. (Table 6-1) .

7.1.1.1 Initial Method Performance Evaluation

Prior to the analysis of any samples, theLaboratory conducts Initial MethodPerformance Evaluations of each analyticalmethod as required commonly used in theLaboratory to demonstrate the ability toachieve acceptable method accuracy andprecision. Quality control data derivedfrom these evaluations is compared topublished USEPA method performancecriteria in order to determine #$£0 n i n n Oflnou I Uy g

7.1.1.1 Initial Method Performance Evaluation(Continued)

document acceptable analytical methodoperation. This Initial MethodPerformance Evaluation is conducted assummarized below.

A minimum of four (4) matrix spike samplesare prepared using the particularrepresentative sample matrix analyticalparameter(s) of interest. These matrixspike samples are prepared such that theparameter concentration(s) are within theworking range of the method and at leasttwo (2) times greater than the method'sbackground level.

The matrix spike samples are analyzed inaccordance with the method, and theaverage percent recovery (R) and thestandard deviation of the percentrecoveries (s) will be calculated from theanalytical results. The Laboratory valuesof R__and s jare compared to the published

••--•-- EPA method performance values of averagerecovery (X) and standard deviation (p)(if- applicable). The laboratory values

-- — are not acceptable if s>2p or X-R>2p.Unacceptable values require the Laboratoryto review potential analytical problemsand repeat the Initial Method PerformanceEvaluation until acceptable values areobtained.

The Laboratory does not analyze any actualsamples until the Initial MethodPerformance Evaluation demonstratesacceptable laboratory analytical methodcapability. Results from the InitialMethod Performance Evaluation are enteredinto the analytical method's InitialAccuracy and Performance Record maintainedin the Laboratory QC Manual.

quality control charts or tabularsummaries are constructed from this datain order to monitor and compare actuallaboratory quality control data withacceptable published USEPA or Laboratorymethod performance criteria.

Quality control samples consist of methodblanks, bias controls, and matrixspike/spike duplicate samples.

Mandatory matrix spike/spike duplicatesamples are systematically analyzed inorder to maintain continuous surveillanceof acceptable method performance.Approximately fifty percent (50%) of allquality control samples are matrix spikesamples. Percent Recovery determinations(R) from these matrix spike results aremonitored to provide a continuous measureof the overall accuracy and precision ofthe method in addition to determiningextraction efficiencies and sample matrixeffects.

7.1.1.3 Method Blank Evaluations

NAC systematically prepares and analyzesmethod blanks to continuously evaluateanalytical system interferences andbackground contamination levels. MethodBlank analyses include all components(glassware, chemical reagents,environment, etc.) of actual, routinemethod analyses, substituting reagentwater or other applicable clean matrix forthe actual sample. Approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of all quality controlsamples are method blanks. Analyses ofmethod blanks will provide a safeguardagainst interfering and/or contaminatedreagents, glassware, and laboratoryenvironments. Unfavorable method blankperformance will-render associated datasuspect and require corrective action (seeSection 11.0).

7.1.1.4 Bias Control Sample Evaluations

The laboratory performs analysis of bias' control samples for all analyses. Bias

control samples are made in the samemanner as matrix spikes, except thatanalyte is added 1to deionized waterinstead of a sample. This allows scrutiny

^ of any matrix effects that may beoperating. The bias control sample isrun when matrix spike samples are run.

10.0 Procedures Used to Access Data Precision and Accuracy

KAC uses specific routine procedures to assess the precisionand accuracy of its analytical data. These measures includethe validation and internal quality control proceduresdiscussed in section 8 and 9.

Specific procedures for assessing data accuracy and precisioninclude calculation of percent recoveries and relativepercent differences for all duplicate spike sample analyses.These calculations are summarized below, and apply to allanalytical parameters.

1. Accuracy = Percent Recovery = Observed Cone, x 100(R) Expected Cone.

2. Precision =- Relative Percent Difference = /C1-C2/ x 100(RPD) C1+C2

2

Where Cl and C2 are concentrations of duplicate spikes.

Analytical control limits are derived from statisticalmanipulation of each data category.. These limits areoutlined below.

Accuracy Precision

Upper Control Limit (UCL) ~" %R_ + 3S RPD + 3S

Lower Control Limit (LCL) %R - 3S RPD - 3S

. Where S is Standard Deviation

For each analytical... batch, the percent recovery RPD aremonitored and _documented in.a tabular ..and/or control chartformat. .Periodically, when not less than twenty such datapoints are obtained for,a. given analysis, the units for RPDand recovery are recalculated and the new clients areemployed to evaluate future data. The quality control chartsand tabular summaries will provide a continuous indicationof.method performance by visib comparing actual qualitycontrol recovery data to acceptable USEPA (if available)and/or laboratory method performance criteria.

0R30IGI3

10.0 Procedures Used to Access Data Precision and Accuracy

Laboratory method performance criteria are utilized toevaluate quality control data in the absence of publishedUSEPA __-_met_ho_d__performance criteria. Laboratory methodperformance criteria are statistically derived from duplicatematrix spike quality control data as follows:

Warning Limit (WL) = ±2sControl Limit (CL) «= ±3s

s = standard deviation of the method percent recoveries

A minimum of six (6) matrix spike sample percent recoverydeterminations are required to establish the above-statedperformance limits. These Laboratory method performancelimits are continually redefined, as quality controlinformation accumulates.

The mean value percent recovery (R) and standard deviation (s)determinations calculated from the matrix spike qualitycontrol results are used to generate Laboratory MethodAccuracy Statements for each analytical method commonly usedin the Laboratory. Method Accuracy Statements are definedas R ± 3s and are based upon a minimum of six (6) matrixspike sample determinations. These statements are updatedannually as calculated from quality control data accumulatedduring the previous year. All laboratory Method AccuracyStatements are maintained in the QC manual and should bewithin the recommended EPA criteria.

AR30IOU

11.0 Corrective Action —--

NAC routinely utilizes its quality control data to assess theneed for corrective action. Frequency review of data permitsrapid identification of the._source of analytical or samplingerror and implementation of corrective action.

11.1 Determination of the Need for Correction Action

Percent recovery determinations from the systematicmatrix spike quality control samples must comparefavorably to the published USEPA or laboratory methodperformance criteria outlined previously in order tovalidate and approve a corresponding batch of sampleanalyses. The method analyses are out of control and

( therefore unacceptable if:

1. One data point recovery value is outside of"i """ published USEPA performance limits or laboratory

control limits (CL).

2. Seven consecutive percent recovery values are on oneside of R line.

i 3. Percent recovery values increase or decrease overCJ - -- --- -—five consecutive analyses.

Unacceptable values will render the corresponding batchof sample analyses suspect, as will unacceptableresults for method blank analyses, until corrective

_T-_action demonstrates the return of acceptable methodperformance.

The analyst who reviews and complies raw data fromanalyses and associated matrix blank and matrix spikesamples must immediately notify the of manager ofdeviation from accepted standards. If any values areoutside of QC limits, corrective action will beinstituted at once.

Corrective action may also be implemented as a resultof .external . performance and systems audits,intralaboratory comparisons, QA project auditsconducted by concerned agencies, or other QA/QCactivities.

These corrective actions may involve any phase of theanalytical or: sampling method including: reagentquality, sample extraction, equipment cleaning,instrument calibration and/or performance,calculations, etc. •.**_._._..AR30IOI5

Re: Modifications toHentokil QAPiP

Dear ,.Mr.' Sturgeon;

This letter is related'to "changes.which must be. made to theQuality Assurance Project Plan (QAPjP).. as -currently written. Thechanges are " necessitated: as "a. "result o'f corrections requested byour laboratory subcontractor. CompuChem Laboratories to informa-tion they supplied us which was subsequently discovered to be inerror. The changes are. minox and will have no impact on thescope of work .or quality assurance objectives for the project.

The., .following .required . changes should' be made to Table 8-2found on page .8-3 of "the QAPjPt "

o The TOC -analysis will be .performed by 'NortheasternAnalytical Corporation (NAG) rather than CompuChemLaboratories;

o The BOD analysis will be performed following EPA method#405.1, which is equivalent to SM #507 and for which anSOP "was provided in Appendix D.;._.

o The COD analysis will be performed following EPA method#410.4, the SOP of which was provided in Appendix D,rather than #410.1;

o The"TKN analysis-will be performed.following EPA method#351.3" ra'ther than #351". 2, and a replacement SOP isenclosed;

o The CLP-Organics SOW was."last revised on 2/88 and thismethodology will be followed;_and

o The CLP-Indrganics SOW was last revised on 7/88 andthis, methodology will be followed. a o r» n i

AR30 I 036

DAMES & MOOREThe fdll-owingr \change should be made to Section 6.3, which is

found on page 6-5: ,-.-- . - . ..- - - : : -

o The sentence "Samples will be-shipped directly from thefield to the laboratory performing the analysis inorder to minimize shipping times . and, thus, minimizethe chance of holding times being exceeded" should bechanged to read "Samples will be shipped from the fieldto CompuChem Laboratories where they will receive aCompuChem. identification number for sample trackingpurposes. Samples to be analyzed, by one of CompuChem'ssubcontracting laboratories (i.e., ChemWest AnalyticalLaboratories or Northeastern Analytical Corporation)will in general be repackaged and shipped to thesubcontractor laboratory by .CompuChem after havingreceived .CompuChem1s identification number. The onlyexception will "be samples for. analyses that havesensitive holding times (e.g., BOD, total phosphorus),which will be ." shipped..:directly to the laboratoryperforming :the .analysis so that•holding times are notexceeded."

Amended copies of page 6-5 and Table 8-2 containing thesechanges are enclosed for your review and the project record.

Dames & Moore assumes that EPA-will find these modificationsacceptable, since '_, they._ do not materially affect the datacollection eff6r~t"r"37Ple:ase__ca,ll. if this assumption is incorrect,or if .you "have questions or comments.

Sincerely,

When the laboratory receives" the samples, the chain-of-custody forms will besigned and the date and time recorded by the laboratory sample custodian. Thesample custodian will ,.immediately inspect the shipment for damage andcompleteness, arid report any problems to the Dames & Moore sample shipper. Thelaboratory~sample custodian will then complete all the appropriate lab trackingsheets and logs.

6.3 LABORATORIES : . ,- ........

The laboratory sample custodian is responsible for the custody of samplesfrom the time of sample receipt to the time of sample discard. The contractedanalytical laboratories have established SOPs for sample handling, storage, anddispersemeht for analysis. These are detailed in laboratory SOPs and includeexamples of the Sample Receiving and Tracking Information Sheet, Sample LoggingSheets, and Laboratory Assignment Sheet, etc. Samples will be shipped from thefield to CompuChem Laboratories where they wilj receive a CompuChemidentification number for sample tracking purposes. Samples to be analyzed by one.of Compu'Chem's subcontracting laboratories (I.e., ChemWest AnalyticalLaboratoriesiMsnJSIp_rtheastern Analytical Corporation) will in general be repackagedand shipped to the subcontractor laboratory by CompuChem after having receivedCompuChem's identification number. The only exception will be samples foranalyses that have sensitive holding times (e.g., BOD, total phosphorus), which willbe shipped directly to the laboratory preforming the analysis so that holding timesare not exceeded. The chain-of-custody procedures employed by the laboratoriesare detailed in their respective Quality Assurance Plans.

6. Apparatus6.1 Digestion apparatus; A Kjeidahl digestion apparatus with 800 or 100 ml flasks and

suction takeoffto remove SO3 fumes and water.6.2 Distillation apparatus: The macro Kjeidahl flask is connected to a condenser and an

adaptor so that the distiUate can be collected!. Micro Kjeidahl steam distillationapparatus is commercially available.

6.3 Spectrophotometer for use at 400 to 425 nm with a light path of 1 cm or longer.7. Reagents

7.1 Distilled water should be free of ammonia. Such water is best prepared by the passage ofdistilled water through an ion exchange column containing a strongly acidic cationexchange resin mixed with a strongly basic anion exchange resin. Regeneration of thecolumn should be carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions.NOTE 1: Absolutions must be made with ammonia-free water.

7,2 Mercuric sulfate solution: Dissolve 8 g red mercuric oxide (HgO) in 50 ml of 1:4 sulfuricacid (10.0 ml cone. H2SG< : 40 ml distilled water) and dilute to 100 ml with distilledwater.. . . _ . : _ . . - - - - - - - - - - - — — " _'__:_ _ " "

7.3- Sulfuric acid-mercuric sulfate-potassium sulfate solution: Dissolve 267 g K2S04 in 1300ml distilled water and 400 ml cone. H2SO4. Add 50 ml mercuric sulfate solution (7.2) anddilute to 2 liters with distilled water.

7.4 Sodium hydroxide-sodium thiosulfate solution: Dissolve 500 g NaOH and 25 gNa2S2O3*5H2O in distilled water and dilute to 1 liter.

7.5 Mixed indicator: Mix 2 volumes of 0.2% methyl red in 95% ethanol with 1 volume of0.2% methylene blue in ethanol. Prepare fresh every 30 days.

7.6 Boric acid solution: Dissolve 20 g boric acid, H3BO3, in water and dilute to 1 liter withdistilled water, . ......_. _ __ '

7.7 Sulfuric acid, standard solution: (0.02 N) I" ml = 0.28 mg NH3-N. Prepare a stocksolution of approximately 0.1 N acid by diluting 3 ml of cone. H2SO4 (sp. gr. 1.84) to 1liter with CO2-free distilled water. Dilute 200 ml of this solution to 1 liter with CO2-freedistilled water. Standardize the approximately 0.02 N acid so prepared against 0.0200 NNa:COj solution. This last solution is prepared by dissolving 1.060 g anhydrous Na:CO3,oven-dried at 140°C, and diluting to 1 liter with CO2-free distilled water.NOTE 2: An alternate and perhaps preferable method is to standardize theapproximately 0.1 N H23O4 solution against a 0.100 N Na2CO3 solution. By properdilution the 0.02 N acid can the be prepared.

7.8 Ammonium chloride, stock solution: 1.0 ml = 1.0 mg NH3-N. Dissolve 3.819 g NH.C1in water and make up to 1 liter in a volumetric flask with distilled water.

7.9 Ammonium chloride, standard solution: 1.0ml = 0.01 mg NH3-N. Dilute 10.0 ml of thestock solution (7.8) with distilled water to 1 liter in a volumetric flask.

7.10 Nessler reagent: Dissolve 100 g of mercuric iodide and 70 g potassium iodide in a smallvolume of distilled water. Add this mixture slowly, with stirring, to a cooled solution of160 g of NaOH in 500 ml of distilled water. Dilute the mixture to 1 liter. The solution isstable for at least one year if stored in a pyrex bottle out of direct sunlight.

351.3-2

NOTE 3: Reagents 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, and 7.10 are identical to reagents 6.8, 6.2, 6.3, and 6.6described under Nitrogen, Ammonia (Colorimetric; Titrimetric; Potentiometric-Distillation Procedure, Method 350.2).

8. Procedure8.1 The distillation apparatus should be pre-steamed before use by distilling a 1:1 mixture of

distilled water and sodium hydroxide-sodium ttiosulfate solution (7.4) until the distillateis ammonia-free. This operation should be repeated each time the apparatus is out ofservice long enough to accumulate ammonia (usually 4 hours or more).

8.2 Macro Kjeidahl system8.2.1 Place a measured sample or the residue from the distillation in the ammonia

determination (for Organic Kjeidahl only) into an 800 ml Kjeidahl flask. Thesample size can be determined from the following table:

Kjeidahl Nitrogen Sample Sizein Sample, mg/1 ml

0-5 5005-10 " 25010-20. . .-.. . 10020-50 50.050-500 .; -- -,- =.- - - - 25.0

Dilute the sample, if required, to 500 ml with distilled water, and add 100 mlsulfuric acid-mercuric sulfate-potassium sulfate solution (7.3). Evaporate themixture in the Kjeidahl apparatus until S03 fumes are given off and the solutionturns colorless or pale yellow. Continue heating for 30 additional minutes. Cool theresidue and add 300 ml distilled water.

8.2.2 Make the digestate alkaline by careful addition of 100 mi of sodium hydroxide -thiosulfate solution (7.4) without mixing.NOTES: Slow addition of the heavy caustic solution down the tilted neck of thedigestion flask will cause, heavier solution to underlay the aqueous sulfuric acidsolution without loss of free-ammonia. Do not mix until the digestion flask hasbeen connected to the distillation apparatus.

8.2.3 Connect the Kjeidahl flask to the condenser with the tip of condenser or anextension of the condenser tip below the level of the boric acid solution (7.6) in thereceiving flask. .

8.2.4 Distill 300 ml at the rate of 6-10 ml/min., into 50 ml of 2%- boric acid (7.6)contained in a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask.

8.2.5 Dilute the distillate to 500 ml in the flask. These flasks should be marked at the 350and the 500 ml volumes. With such marking, it is not necessary to transfer thedistillate to volumetric flasks. For concentrations above I mg/1, the ammonia canbe determined.titrimetrically. For concentrations below this value, it is determinedcolorimetrically. The potentiometric method is applicable to the range 0.05 to 1400mg/1.

8.3 Micro Kjeidahl system8.3.1 Place 50.0 ml of sample or an aliquot diluted to 50 ml in a 100 ml Kjeidahl flask

and add 10 nil sulfuric acid-mercuric sulfate-potassium sulfate solution (7.3).Evaporate the mixture in the Kjeidahl apparatus until SO3 fumes are given off andthe solution turns colorless or pale yellow. Then digest for an additional 30minutes. Cool the residue and add 30 ml distilled water.

8.3.2 Make the digestate alkaline by careful addition of 10 ml of sodium hydroxide-thiosulfate solution (7.4) without mixing. Do not mix until the digestion flask hasbeen connected to the distillation apparatus.

8.3.3 Connect the Kjeidahl flask to the condenser with the tip of condenser or anextension of the condenser tip below the level of the boric acid solution (7.6) in thereceiving flask or 50 ml short-form Nessler tube.

8.3.4 Steam distill 30 ml at the rate of 6-10 ml/'min., into 5 ml of 2% boric acid (7.6).8.3.5 Dilute the distillate to 50 ml. For concentrations above 1 mg/1 the ammonia can be

determined titrimetrically. For concentrations below this value, it is determinedcolorimetrically. The potentiometric method is applicable to the range 0,05 to 1400mg/1.

8.4 Determination of ammonia in distillate: Determine the ammonia content of the distillatetitrimetrically, colorimetrically, or potentiometrically, as described below.8.4.1 Titrimetric determinatic-h: Add 3 drops of the mixed indicator (7.5) to the distillate

and titrate the ammonia with the 0.02 N H3SO4 (7.7), matching the endpointagainst a blank containing the same volume of distilled water and H3BOj (7.6)solution...

8.4.2 Colorimetric determination: Prepare a series of Nessler tube standards as follows;

ml of Standard1.0 ml = 0.01 mg NH3-N mg_NH3-N/50.0 ml

0,0 ,- - ., . ... - , 0.00.5- . . . . . . . . - .-.- - 0.0051.0 -0.0102.0 _ -.. = .,..-.- 0.0204.0 - - . 0.0405.0 - -., - -- -- —.-0.0508.0 -" " 0;08010.0 0.10

Dilute each tube to 50 ml with ammonia free water, add 1 ml of Nessler Reagent(7.10) and mix. After 20 minutes read the absorbance at 425 nm against the blank.From the values obtained for the standards plot absorbance vs. mg NH3-N for thestandard curve. Develop color in the 50 ml diluted distillate in exactly the samemanner and read mg NH3-N from the standard curve.

8.4.3 Potentiometric determination: Consult the method entitled Nitrogen, Ammonia:Potentiometric, Ion Selective Electrode Method, (Method 350.3) in this manual.

8.4.4 It is not imperative that all standards be treated in the same manner as the samples.It is recommended that at least 2 standards (a high and low) be c!igest<ffi,tSiQififed, n J. On it vj u f U4O

and compared to similar values on the curve to insure that the digestion-distillationtechnique is reliable. If treated standards do not agree with untreated standards theoperator should find the cause of the apparent error before proceeding.

9. Calculation9.1 If the titrimetric procedure is used, calculate Total Kjeidahl Nitrogen, in mg/1, in the

original sample as follows:

TKN, mg/1 = <A - B)N X..F x 1,000

where: .. ... - ---- - - - - — — -- - - - -A = milliliters of standard 0.020 N H2SO4 solution used in titrating sample.B ==milliliters of standard 0.020 N H2SO4 solution usedin titrating blank.N = normality of sulfuric acid solution.F = milliequivalent weight of nitrogen (14 mg).S = milliliters of sample digested.

If thesulfuric acid is exactly 0.02 N the formula is shortened to:

TKN. mg/1 * (A - B' *
