Olympus Work Order# 7586
Dear Mr. Porvers:
Olympus Environmental, lnc. (Olympus), on behalf of Laundry Supply Company (LSC), is
continuing its site investigation at LSC's facility located at 3785 West 1987 South in Salt Lake
City, Utah (Facility). The purpose of this investigation is to determine the nature and extent of
subsurface halogenated volatile oqanic (HVO) compounds in the shallout (less than 35 feeQ
aquifer at the Facility. This investigation is being perbrmed in accordance with the Utah
Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste (DSHW)-
approved Site lnvestigation Plan (SlP) (JBR Environmental Consuttants, lnc., November 10,
1997), the DSHW May 6, 1998 approval of the April 21, 1998 revisions to the SlP, and the
June 19, 1998 lnvestigation Report (Olympus). Follouting is an interim report of investigative
ac'tivities. Olympus will prepare and submit a more detailed report of the investigation at itsconclusion
i
SOIL PROBING AND GROUND WATER SAMPLING
On June 26, 1998, Olympus and its soil-probing subconfractor, EarthProbe, lnc. of Salt Lake
City, Utah, advanced five soil probes at the Facility. Prior to probing, Olympus gauged ground
water elevations in the existing Facili$ monitoring wells and calculated the ground water flour
direc'tion. Olympus moved the probe line, based upon the ground waterflow direcfion, to
befter locate the prcbes dorregradient of the HVO release area (abandoned tank basin).
Table 1 presents a summary of the grcund water elevation gauging program at the Facility.
Figure 1 shoms a grcund water elevation contour map based on the June 26, 1998 ground
water elevation gauging.
EarthProbe advanoed the soil probes to a depth of approximately 37 feet below ground
surface using a truck-mounted Geoprobe unit. Figure 1 shors the locations of the soil
probes, labeled SP-l through SeS. EarthProbe and Olympus collected grcund water samples

through a 3.$foot screen attrached to the end of the probe rods at depths of approximately 15,
25, and 35 feet below the ground surface. We collected the ground water samples through
the rods using polyethylene tubing and a peristaltic pump.
Following sample collection, EarthProbe, abandoned the probe holes by pressure grouting with
a bentonite-based grout as the rods were extracted from the subsurface. EarthProbe then
decontaminated all down-hole equipment with a pressure washer. Decontamination water was
contained in drums and stored at the Facility pending disposal anangements.
ln addition to the ground water samples, Olympus collected a duplicate sample from SP-3 at
35 feet (SP3-35) for quality assurance and quality control purposes (OA/OC). Olympus also
collected a sample of the decontamination water (DW-EB), prepared equipment a rinsate
blank (R&,EB) by flushing decontamination water through the decontiaminated probe rods, and
prepared trip blanks for QA/QC purposes.
Olympus placed the ground water and QA/QC samples in appropriate containers and stored
the samples in iced coolers untilthey were delivered to the laboratory. We delivered the water
samples, using chain of custody protocol, to OnSite Analytical Services, lnc. (OnSite) of Salt
Lake City, Utah for screening analyses at the end of the workday. Olympus shipped the
dupliete sample by ovemight courier, using chain of custody protocol, to Evergreen Analytical,
lnc. of Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
OnSite screened the samples for tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (l.CE) using
their gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer screening method OAS-GCM$O1. Evergreen
analyzed the duplicate sample from SP3-35 for HVOs using methodology established in SW-
84ti Method 8260. Table 2 presents a summary of the ground water sampling program at the
Facility. Attachment A includes copies of the OnSite and Evergreen analytical reports,
OnSite's analytical method description, the sample chain of custody records, and Olympus'
Data Validation Reports.
DrscussroN
Based upon the data collected during the above-described soilprobe assessment, ground
water appears to be impacted by HVOs down-gradient of the release area. The dissolved
ground water HVO plume likely extends beyond the Facility boundary to the northwest. The
plume appears to be bounded to the southwest between SP-1 and SP-2. The horizontal
extent of the plume to the northwest and northeast has yet to be determined. The assessment
did not determine the vertical extent of the plume's migration.
To date, the assessment has avoided collecting ground water samples from depths greater
than 35 feet belorr the surface. General knowledge of the Facility area suggests that there is
a confining clay layer in the aquifer at the Facility at dephs between approximately 40 and 70
feet below the surface. Due to the relatively high concentrations of PCE deteAed in the
shallow aquifer at the Facility, there is concem that breaching the confining layer may result in
communication between the upper and lorer aquifers and cause vertical HVO migration into
the lourer aquifer.

REqOMMENDAflONS
Olympus recommends that the ground water assessment continue to the northwest and
northeast to assess the down-gradient and cross-gradient extent of the HOV plume,
respectively. At this time we suggest continuing the assessment using soil probing with ground
water sampling and HVO screenin(; techniques.
Olympus (on behalf of LSC) will prepare an of-site assessment plan to better determine the
down-gradient extent of the HVO plume at the Facility. The plan will be submitted to the
DSHW for revieur in August 1998.

METHOD: All samples except as noted in table 1 were analyzed by purge and trap GCA,IS according to
method OAS-GCMS-0I. The calibration data, system blank analysis, surrogate recovery criteria and
internal standard abundance criteria of the method were met in this analysis for all samples and analyes
unless otherwise noted.
The samples were initially pre-screened by direct injection GC/ECD to determine an appropriate
dilution level to get the sample concentration within the span of the initial calibration curve on the GC/MS
system. Sample DW-EP, the EarthProbe decon water, had to be quantitated from the screening data. Due
to the high level of detergents in the sample, purge and trap analysis was not possible.
Table I on page 2 of this report lists the quantitative sample results in units of ug/l (ppb). PCE
was the only target analyte in the study, however, TCE is reported as well because of its relatively high
levels in some samples. Sample results of "<x" indicate that the analyte was not found above'1", which
is the nominal detection limit for that analyte in that sample run.
A copy of the text of the analytical method is attached along with the yellow copies from the
COC's turned in with the sarnples. Please call me if you have any questions concerning this data or the
analytical method.

Title: Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds in Soil and Water By
GC/MS, Screening Method. (8260 modified)
Method: OAS-GCMS-0I
Revision #:2
Approved by:
Joe Stewart,ident, OnSite Analytical Services, Inc.
I. Scope: This is a screening method for use in the analysis of purgeable organic compounds down to
the low ug/l concentration range.
II. DescriptionofMethod: A20mlaliquotofthewatersampleor5gramsofasoilssampleinl0
mls of reagent-grade water is placed in a sparging vessel and purged with an inert gas. Volatile compounds
freed from the sample are quantitatively trapped onto a suitable adsorption column. The tap is then heated
and the tapped analytes are then desorbed directly into the heated injection port of a Gas
Chromatograph/lVlass Spectrometer. The desorbed analytes are separated on a fused silica capillary
column and the eluting peaks are detected by the mass spectrometer operating in scan mode. Selected Ion
Chromatograms are generated for the designated diagnostic ions for each analyte, and all peaks present are
integrated. The mass spectmm of each peak appearing in the proper retention time window is evaluated to
confirm the identity of the peak as either a target or non-target analyte. Quantitation is performed by
comparison of the analyte/internal standard response ratio in the sample run to the response ratio
calibration curve generated from known standards.
III. Interferences: Interferences to this method are analytes which have the sarne retention time and
exhibit responses for the diagrostic m/z traces which are used for target analyte quantitation. Co-eluting
structural isomers of compounds with identical mass spectra are not separable (for example, meta and para
Xylene). Interferences with the quantitation ion of the target analyte are dealt with as described in section
VII.5.
The efficiency of the sample purging step may be affected by suspended or dissolved solids present
in groundwater samples, or for soils, by the type of soils present.
IV. Apparatus: The following apparatus, generally described, are needed to perform this method.
The inclusion of a vendor name or suggested type of material is not intended to exclude the use of another
suitable substitute, but only to provide an example to the method user. : _
l.) Purge and Trap Unit:
A Tekmar LSC-2, equivalent, or better. Any commercially available purge and trap unit
specifically designed to quantitatively remove, concentrate and desorb into a gas chromatograph the
analyte load from a water or soil sample can be used. The following conditions for the purge and trap unit
are used in our laboratory:
Purge time: 8 minutes
Purge volume: 20 mls water
Purge flowrate: 40 mls/minute
Desorb Pressure: 9 p.s.i.
Desorb time: 2 minutes
Method: OAS-GCMS-01 page I of 8
Revision number: I Date of revision: I l -Jun-98
Purge flowrate: 40 mls/minute
Purge trap temp: ambient (<35 "C)
Desorb temp: 200"C
Bakeout temp: 220'C
Bakeout time: 15 minutes
Method: OAS-GCMS-0I page 2 of 8
Revision number: I Date of revision: 2-Jun-98
2.) Gas Chromatograph/lVlass Spectrometer:
The GC/IvIS system should be fitted with a megabore capillary column to separate the analytes of
interest. The retention times for the analytes listed in appendix I (page 8) were observed using a 30 meter
J&W 0.53 mm i.d DB 624 with a 3.0 um film. Any commercially available capillary column may be used,
howevel retention-time windows and optimum oven ramps will need to be determined for any different
column by a competent analyst.
The sample pathway is set up so that the desorbing sample from the purge and trap unit is routed
directly in to the heated injection port of the gas chromattigraph. The following equipment and conditions
are used in this laboratory:
Gas Chromatograph:
Column: J&W DB-624. 30 meter x 0.53 mm i.d., 3.0 pm fitn tiri.kn.r.
GC/MS System: Hewlett Packard (lIP) model 5995
Oven Ramp: 40oC initial, 0.0 sec hold, ramp @ l0"C/min to 100oC, 0.0 sec hold, ramp @
2loClsec to 200oC, 6 minute hold, end.
Injection Port Temperature: 250oC
Split off time: 0.5 minutes
Head pressure: 9 p.s.i.
Carrier gas: Helium
Mass Soectrometer:
Model: HP 5995 (integral with GC)
Analyzer type: quadrupole
Scanning mode: 48-170 mlz @ 2.1 scans/second
Ionization mode: EI @70 eY
Transfer line temp: 280oC
Ion source temp: 200"C
Mass analyzer temp: 180"C
Data System: HP Chemstation for PASCAL,v 3.2
The use of any mass spectrometer system is acceptable, as long as the instrument can scan from 40-270
amu at a rate not less than 1.0 scans /second, have a mass resolution of < 0.5 a.m.u., and meet the LOD
requirements of the specific project of interest. The data system must be able to display, integrate and print
the diagnostic ion Selected Ion Chromatograms as noted in section VII.I on page 4. The system must also
be able to electronically store the raw data such that a full scan mass spectrum can be displayed and printed
for any particular scan.
V. Sampling: The collection of samples for this analysis should be performed T,ch that the sample is
contained in a gas-tight container with no bubbles visible when the containEr is inverted (i.e.-no
headspace). Care should be taken when sampling to avoid causing the sample tri be agitated or aerated
during tansfer into the sampling vessel. The preferred sample vessel is a 40 ml amber VOA vial or the
equivalent.
In order to prevent possible cross contamination of samples with potentially large differences in
analyte levels, each set of replicates should be stored in sealed plastic bags for transport to the laboratory.
A trip blank composed of reagent water or the equivalent should also be included in each lot of samples
(optional). The samples should be clearly labeled and stored in cold container (cooler containing crushed
ice) or a refrigerator at loC-4oC until analysis.
A complete discourse on proper sampling protocols is contained in the SW-846 Laboratory
Manual, Vol lB, rev. 0, pg. four-2 and four-3 and should be referred to in case of uncertainty about proper
sampling procedures.

Revision number: I Date of revision: 2-Jun-98
VI. Preparation of Standards:
l) Preparation of Intermediate Standards.' Intermediate standards are the solutions which are diluted to
make working standards. Typically, intermediate standards will contain a mixture of analytes at
concentrations of 1000 - 4000 ug/ml. All intermediate standards should be prepared in purge and nap
grade methanol. The storage lifetime for in-house prepared intermediate standards is 6 months for most
compounds. Purchased standards are valid until the standard manufacturer's stated expiration date.
Standards prepared from gaseous starting materials are vilid for 2 months. All standmd purchase,
preparation and tracking will follow protocols established in the OnSite Analytical Services Laboratory
Quality Assurance Plan.
The following procedures are essentially identical to those listed in section 5.2 of the "Test
Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste" manual, Vol lB, revision 0, 1986. (USEPA).
a) Purchase of Intermediate Standards: Intermediate standards containing the analytes of interest
at concentrations of 1000-2000 ug/ml are widely available, from vendors such as Restek and Ultra
Scientific. Only standards which come with a certification packet or certificate of analysis may be used.
In the event that it is necessary to prepare intermediate standards internally, step (b) should be utilized.
b) Preparation of Intermediate Standards from Primary Stocks: Obtain the compounds of interest
in pure form. If possible, use standards of at lest 96% purity. In the event that standards of a lower purity
are used, the purity correction must be used in calculating the final concentration of the intermediate
standard.
Fill a l0 ml volumeric flask with 9.8 ml of purge and trap grade methanol. Allow to stand
unstopped or until all alcohol wetted surfaces have dried. Weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg. Using a 100 ul
syringe, Immediately add two drops of the pure compound of interest, being careful to let the drops fall
directly into the alcohol without touching the sides of the flask. Gaseous compounds should be added with
a gastight syringe, injecting the compound slowly into ilre solution directly above the solvent surface. The
dense analytes will tend to sink and dissolve into the solvent. Re-weigh and add methanol to the mark.
Invert the flask 20 times to thoroughly mix the standard. Transfer the stock standard solution into a Teflon-
sealed screw cap bottle, leaving as little headspace as possible. Store at -l0"to-20"C.
Calculate the concentration from the net weight gain. If the original standard purity was <96%,
the calculated concentration must be corrected to reflect the actual sample purity.
2'1 Preparation of Working Standards: Using intermediate standard solutions, prepare working standards
containing the analytes of interest in methanol. These solutions will be used for spiking analyte and
surrogate compounds into the samples, calibration standards, QC samples, and blanks. The concentration
of the working standards should be 40 ug/ml per analyte. These standards should be stored at -10 to -20 C
with minimal headspace. Working standards should be re-made weekly. These standards should also be
inspected regularly for solvent evaporation and discarded ifthere is any suspicion ofconcentration.
a) Preparation of Calibr igni ia-
1) High Level Calibration Spike- Place 1.0 ml of methanol in i 2.0 ml volumetric flask.
Using an appropriate syringe, spike the methanol with enough intermediate standard solution to
give a final concentration of 400 ug/ml for the 2 ml volume of the flask. Repeat this procedure for
each component of the mix. The surrogate Bromochloromethane should be added to this
solution as a regular analyte. The internal standard Benzene-d. should not be added to this mix.
2) Low Level Calibration Spike- Same as in (l) above, with the exception that the final
concentration should be 40 ug/ml.
After all desired components have been added, add methanol to the 2 ml mark. Stopper the flask
and invert several times to mix the standard. Withdraw all of the calibration solution into a gas-tight 5 ml
syringe, transfer the standard to an amber GC vial and seal with a teflon-faced septum. Repeat the process
Method: OAS-GCMS-OI page 4 of 8
Revision number: I Date of revision: 2-Jun-98
with another 2.0 ml vial. Label the vials appropriately. The vials should then be properly labeled and
stored at -l0oC to -20oC until use.
b) Preparation of Matrix Spiking Solution: Matrix spike solutions are prepared similarly to
calibration spike solutions, with the exception that the matrk spiking solution must be prepared from a
different intermediate than that used for the Calibration Spiking Solution, and usually only contains a
subset of the entire analyte list. Additionally, Bromochloromethane or any other surrogate compounds are
not added to the matrix spiking solution. The matrix spiking solution for this method contains l,l DCE,
TCE and Chlorobenzene. However, other matrix spike compounds may be used, if project requirements
mandate it.
The matrix spike solution final concentration should be 100 ug/ml.
c) Preparation of Surrogate Spiking Solution: The surrogate rpit ing solution is prepared in the
same way as the calibration and QC spiking solutions. The surrogate spike solution used to spike samples
should be made from a different intermediate stock than that used to prepare the calibration standard. The
primary surrogate used for this method is Bromochloromethane, however, other surrogate compounds may
be used. The concentation of the surrogate spike solution should be 80 ug/ml.
d) Freparation of Internal Standard Spiking Solution: The internal standard spiking solution is
prepared according to the same protocols as the otler spiking solutions. The intemal standard solution
contains only Benzene-duat a final concentration of 100 ug/ml.
YII. Analytical Sequence
NOTE: Analyst Requirements- This method is to be performed onlyby analysts with a working
knowledge of the particular GC/lvIS data system they are using. Analysts who do not possess hardware and
software troubleshooting ability or do not understand the concept of ion traces, evaluation of mass spectra,
and calibration functions should not perform this method, or do so only under the close supervision of
qualified personnel.
1) Instrument Evaluation:
Prior to running samples the mass spectrometer should be evaluated to determine proper function.
The mass spectrometer should be evaluated according to the following procedure:
a) Evaluate peak widths: Turn on the calibration gas (normally PFTBA) and put the instrument
intoprofilescanmode. Thedisplayshouldshowm/x 69,219 and502. Thepeakwidthformlz69 should
be 0.5 a.m.u. or less. The peak width for the mlz2l9 peak should also be <0.5, and there should be a
discernible valley between the m/z 219 peak and the shoulder atmlz220. ThemJz502.2peakshould be
present with a signal to noise ratio of >3: I .
b) Evaluate mass axis calibration: The top of each of the diagnostic peaks should line up with the
true mass of the peak on the mass oris. If there is drift, re-calibrate the mass a:cis. -
c) Evaluate ion intensity ratios: Put the instrument in spectrum st'an mode. Evaluate the mass
spectrum from l0 to 550 a.m.u. Note the presence of large amounts of air or wdtei at m/228,32 and 18. If
the air peak is >10% of the mJz69, the system has a leak and should be fixed.
The m/z 219 ion abundance should be from liYoto 45Yo of them/269 ion . If the ratios are
skewed outside of this range, tuning of the instrument may be required. The instrument should be tuned by
a skilled operator. The methods of tuning a mass spectrometer are outside of the scope of this document.
d) Spectrum normalization (optional): After all adjustments have been made to the instrument,
the calibration gas mass spectrum should be used to generate a normalization function. This will allow the
software to effectively perform searches of peak mass spectra against the mass spectral library for the
identification of unknown peaks.
Method: OAS-GCMS-01 page 5 of 8
Revision number: I Date of revision: 2-Jun-98
2) Initial Calibration
After the mass spectrometer has been determined to be working properly, the system is now ready
to be calibrated. The initial calibration of the system consists of the analysis of 3 standards spanning the
range of interest for the client. The default concentrations of the initial calibration curve are 5, 50 and 200
ug/I. The initial calibration is performed by running the standards in order from low concentration to high
concentration. The standards are analyzed according to the following method:
a) Remove the plunger from a clean 25 ml gas tight syringe fitted with a teflon luer lock.
b) Close the lock, and pour enough reagent grade water into the syringe so that a meniscus appears on the
top of the barel.
c) Place the plunger into the barrel such that no air is introduced into the syringe. Open the lock and expel
enough water such that the syringe contains 20 ml of reagent water.
d) Invert the syringe, and inject l0 ul ofthe benzene-dointernal standard sblution into the syringe.
e) Inject 2.5 ul of the low concentration (40 udml) calibration spike solution into the syringe.
f) Immediately insert the sample syringe into the luer lock fitting.on the purge and tap unit.
Applying slight pressure to the sample syringe plunger, switch tle valve to the load position and inject the
sample into the sparger. Turn the purge and trap sample valve back to the original position and initiate the
purging sequence.
g) After the first standard is finished running,-prepare the 50 ug/l standard the same way as the first
standard, with the exception of the addition of 2.5 ul of the high range (a00 ug/ml) standard spiking
solution instead of the low range standard solution. For analysis of the third standard, add l0 ul of the high
range standard spiking solution.
h) Print out selected ion chromatograms for each primary diagnostic ion on the analyte list (see appendix
A)
i) Integrate all target analyte peak areas and generate an area table for these peaks.
j) Using the integrated peak areas, consfiuct calibration curves for each analye according to the
parameters listed below:
x axis = amount ratio = CelCr
y axis = response ratio = An/A,
where:
Ao = integrated ion peak area for analyte
A, = integrated ion peak area for internal standard
C^ = Concentration of analyte
C, = Concentration of internal standard
For a linear calibration function the concentration of an analyte in a sample of unknown concentration then
is calculated from the following equation:
where D: y intercept from calibration
equation;
m : the slope of the calibration
function;
D - dilution factor
A DC, [Ao ,l DA^C.
l^tf\l\-A mA,
k)The calibration curve may be constructed using any function which yields a correlation co-
efficient of 0.995 or better. Usually, a linear fit is sufficient, however, for very polar analytes, or
calibration curyes with high ends in excess of 200 ug/ml, a non-linear function may be necessary. If the
initial calibration data cannot be satisfactorily fit to a reasonable calibration function, the data should be
analyzed to determine if there are any obvious outliers. The printed selected ion chromatograms should be
examined to determine if the integration was performed incorrectly on any of the target analyte peaks.
Suspect standard runs should be discarded an re-run. Analysis cannot continue until calibration curves
meeting the 0.995 correlation co-efftcient for each analyte can be met.
Method: OAS-GCMS-OI page 6 of 8
Revision number: I Date of revision: 2-Jun-98
NOTE: For screening purposes, the method should be biased toward false positives in the region around the
LOD. A calibration fitwhich forces the calibration function through the origin should be used to avoid
negative bias at the low end from large negative y intercepts in the calibration firnction.
3') Continuing Calibration Check Stondsrd:
To determine the validity of an initial calibration curve, a 50 ug/l check standard should be run
every 12 hours of sample analysis. The initial calibration curve is detennined to be valid if the recoveries
of all target ana$es in the check standard are within +l-45Yo of their known value. If the analytes are not
recovered within the +/- 15% windows for two consecutive analyses, check the instnrment performance
characteristics as noted in part I of this section, correct any non-conformities, and re-run the check
standard. If this standard fails, a new initial calibration curve will need to be generated.
4) System Blank Anatysis
Prepare sample as per instructions in section VII.2.a-g. for step (e), spike l0 ul of the surrogate
spiking solution instead of the calibration spike solution. The blank must not contain hits on target
analytes higher than the LOD's as listed in Appendix A. If target analytes are seen in the blank at levels >
LOD, the blank should be re-analyzed. If a second blank run yields no hits for an analyte above its LOD,
sample analysis may proceed. If analytes are-again seen in the blank above tle LOD, it should be
evaluated as to whether the spiking solutions are bad or if the purge and fap system contains systematic
contamination. ln any case, sample analysis may not begin until the blank is clean.
5) SampleAnalysis
The samples are prepared and analyzed in the same manner as the system blank. If review of the
printed selected ion chromatograms indicates the possibility of a target analyte hit, the mass spectrum for
that peak should be used to confirm the peak identity.
At low levels, a complete mass spectrum may not be present even for a target analyte. In the
event that a full mass spectrum is not extractable from the dat4 it should be determined if at least two of
the major ions in the spectnrm are present. If at least two of the major ions are present, the peak should be
quantified as described in section VII.2.h-j and the data flagged as "tentative".
If examination of the mass spectrum of the target analyte indicates that the compound is presenq
but the quantitation ion is interfered with by a co-eluting compound, the analyte should be quantitated
using an ion which is present in sufficient quantity to integrate and is free of interference from the co-
eluting compound. This determination is a judgment call to be made by an experienced analyst. The
integrated peak area for t}e selected ion is plugged into the calibration equation for the compounds' normal
quantitation ion. The result is then multiplied by the ratio of the primary ion abundance to tle secondary
ion abundance. This ratio can be calculated from the mass table from the analyte peak mass spectrum as
analyzedin the continuing calibration standard.
Samples containing amounts of target analytes in excess of the upper calibration range of the
calibration curve should be diluted only at the request ofthe client, and re-iun accoiding to the following
protocol:
Analysis of Dilutions
I) Estimate the amount of dilution needed such that the quantitated amount of the
dilution will fall into the method calibration range. It is preferable to target a concentration
somewhere in the upper half of the calibration curve, but this is not mandatory.
ii) Determine the amount of reagent water that will be need to make the total volume of
the diluted sample equal to 20 ml. For example, if a l:5 dilution is required, the dilution factor is 5.
2015 is equal to 4. This is the amount of sample that will be used for the analysis. In order to have a
total sample volume of 20 ml, the amount of reagent water needed is 20-4=16 mls.
iii) Prepare a25 ml syringe with the appropriate amount of reagent water. Spike the
internal standard and surrogate solution into this aliquot and load into the sparger.
Method: OAS-GCMS-0I page 7 of 8
Revision number: I Date of revision: 2-Jun-98
iv) Load the necessary amount of sample into as small a syringe as possible, and load
this into the sparger.
v) Analyze the sample normally according the to established protocol.
6) Surrogate Analysis and QC Spike Passing Criteria:
a) Surrogates. Ifa surrogate is to be used in the analysis, the initial recovery ofthe surrogate
should be within 75-125% of the spiked (theoretical) amgunt. Since the average recoveries of different
surrogates may vary considerably from each other, acceptable surrogate recovery windows will need to be
calculated for each surrogate separately. Upon completion of the analysis of 30 samples for which
surrogate recovery data has been obtained, recovery windows will be calculated according to the following
method:
Calculate the averag eohrecovery of the 30 sampte iot (p)
Calculate the standard deviation (o) .
Calculate the control limits for the surogate:
Upper Conffol Limit (UCL) : p + 3o
Lower Control Limit (LCL) : p - 3o
Sample analyses where surrogate recoveries are outside of the calculated 3o widows will not be
re-run, unless in the opinion of the analyst the recovery level indicates a system problem which would
inadvertently affect the quantitation or identification of the target analytes.
b) Matrix Spike Samples: Evaluation criteria for QC samples is calculated similarly to surrogate
control limits, with the exception that ttre windows can be calculated after the analysis of 4 QC spike
samples. Additionally, the limits must be recalculated for each concentration level spiked, since variability
in recovery is partially a function of analyte concentration. Matrix spike data are provided as a diagrostic
tool for the client. and as such are not re-run. Matrix spike analyses generate data about the accuracy of the
data (o/orecovery) and the precision of the data (%difference). These parameters are calculated as
illustrated below:
