Executive Summary

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires the Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) to review and revise, if appropriate, existing National Primary Drinking Water

Regulations (NPDWRs). As part of the review, EPA developed a protocol document (entitled EPA

Protocol for the Review of Existing National Primary Drinking Water Regulations) to describe the

process and strategy for regulatory review that EPA used to meet its statutory requirement. EPA

developed the protocol based on recommendations from the National Drinking Water Advisory Council

(NDWAC), through internal Agency deliberations, and through discussions with the diverse stakeholders

involved in drinking water and its protection. Based on the NDWAC recommendations, EPA's review

included the consideration of five key elements, as appropriate: health effects, analytical and treatment

feasibility, implementation-related issues, occurrence and exposure, and economic impacts. The purpose

of the analytical methods feasibility analysis was to determine whether changes in the practical

quantitation level (PQL) were possible in those instances where the Maximum Contaminant Level is

limited, or might be limited, by analytical feasibility. This document, "Analytical Feasibility Support

Document for the Six-Year Review of Existing National Primary Drinking Water Regulations:

Reassessment of Feasibility for Chemical Contaminants," describes the process recommended by

NDWAC and used by EPA to address the analytical feasibility aspect of the current (1996-2002) SixYear Review.

To be consistent with the accepted policy and procedures used by EPA to derive quantitation levels

for drinking water contaminants, the Six-Year Review focused on the process that has been used by the

Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water for many years. Historically, EPA’s OGWDW used two

main approaches to determine practical quantitation levels (PQLs) for SDWA analytes. One approach

(and the preferred approach) used data from Water Supply (WS) Performance Evaluation (PE) studies. 

Although the primary use of the WS-PE data was for EPA’s laboratory certification, the data were also

used as a secondary data source for many years to develop PQLs when the spike concentrations were in

the appropriate concentration range. The derivation of the PQL using WS data involved determining the

concentration of an analyte at which 75 percent of EPA Regional and State laboratories achieved results

within a specified range around the spike value. In the absence of WS data, the other approach that EPA

used was the MDL multiplier method. In this approach, the PQL was calculated by multiplying the EPAderived MDL by a factor of 5 or 10. The MDL multiplier method was mostly used in the early years of

rule development for NPDWRs when insufficient WS data were available. Once sufficient WS data

became available, most of the PQLs developed using the MDL multiplier were validated using WS data.

For the Six-Year analytical feasibility review, EPA focused on assessing whether the practical

quantitation limit has changed since promulgation for a subset of the 68 chemical NPDWRs. EPA

performed the analytical feasibility analysis for a total of 40 NPDWRs that fell into one of two categories:

< First, for those contaminants where the MCL is currently limited by analytical feasibility

(i.e., the MCL is set at the PQL) and the MCLG is still appropriate, EPA evaluated the

currently approved methods for those contaminants and available WS data to determine

whether it might be possible to lower the PQL and hence set an MCL that is closer to the

MCLG. 

< The second circumstance under which EPA re-evaluated the PQL was for contaminants

identified under the Six-Year health effects technical review as having potential changes

to their MCLG. Because the information for the health effects review was not completely

available at the time the analytical methods analysis began, EPA took a broad-brush

approach and included a number of contaminants that may not have needed a

reassessment of their analytical feasibility. 

For each of these 40 chemical NPDWRs, the analytical feasibility reassessment included:

(1) a methods comparison step to help identify whether the ability to detect (and therefore quantify)

these contaminants at lower levels has increased; 

(2) a methods usage over time step to identify the analytical methods that appear to be the most

widely used for the analysis of particular contaminants.

(3) a Water Supply data analysis step to determine if a PQL can be recalculated (if sufficient WS

information is available) or if there is an indication that a PQL may be lower using the

available information.

The results of these three steps aided in assessing whether a PQL might change for a specific

contaminant and, if so, estimating what the new PQL might be. 

The results of Six-Year analytical feasibility review concluded that the majority of the available WS

data were insufficient to actually recalculate the PQL for many of the 40 contaminants of interest. The

data were considered insufficient because either the true value of the spike concentrations used in the WS

studies were above the concentration of interest and/or the percentages of labs passing exceeded the 75

percent criterion used to calculate a PQL. However, for many of the 40 contaminants, the available data

were sufficient to indicate whether the PQL might change or if the current PQL is still appropriate. Of the

40 NPDWRs evaluated, the available information indicates that the PQL for 25 might possibly be lower. 

The PQL for the remaining 15 appears to still be appropriate. For the 25 analytes where the WS data

indicate that a lower PQL may exist, EPA used the information about method usage over time, the MDLs

for these methods, and the 10 x MDL multiplier to estimate what the potentially lower PQL might be. 

This estimated value was used as a threshold value in the occurrence and exposure analyses to determine

whether an improvement in public health protection might be possible if EPA were to consider gathering

more definitive data to recalculate the PQL and possibly lower the MCL.

Analytical Feasibility Support Document for the

Six-Year Review of Existing National Primary Drinking Water Regulations

(Reassessment of Feasibility for Chemical Contaminants)

I. Introduction

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) to review and revise, if appropriate, existing National Primary

Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs). As part of the review, EPA developed a protocol

document (EPA Protocol for the Review of Existing National Primary Drinking Water

Regulations) that describes the process and strategy EPA used to review existing NPDWRs in

order to meet its statutory requirement. EPA developed the protocol document based on

recommendations from the National Drinking Water Advisory Council (NDWAC), through

internal Agency deliberations, and through discussions with the diverse stakeholders involved in

drinking water and its protection. To more efficiently utilize limited resources, EPA performed a

series of analyses that were intended to target those NPDWRs that are the most appropriate

candidates for revision. As part of the review, and where appropriate, EPA reviewed the

following key technical elements to make decisions regarding regulatory changes: health risks

assessments; technology assessments (analytical feasibility and treatment technology); other

regulatory revisions (e.g., monitoring and reporting); occurrence and exposure analyses; and

available economic information. This document discusses the analytical feasibility aspect of the

current (1996-2002) Six-Year Review.

The 1999-2002 Six-Year Review includes the review of 68 chemical NPDWRs promulgated

prior to the 1996 SDWA Amendments. Because the analytical measurement feasibility may

have been the limiting factor in setting the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for some of the

existing NPDWRs or because the health effects reviews may indicate a potential change in the

MCLG, this report examines the reassessment of analytical methods capabilities including a

reassessment of whether the Practical Quantitation Levels (PQLs) may have changed since

promulgation. The PQL is generally defined as "the lowest level that can be reliably achieved

within specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine laboratory operating conditions"

(50 FR 46906, November 13, 1985). The purpose of this support document is to:

• provide background information on the relationship between SDWA requirements and

the analytical methods feasibility;

• describe how PQLs have historically been determined;

• and describe the process used to identify which of the 68 chemical NPDWRs under the

1996-2002 review are subject to a further assessment with regards to analytical methods

capabilities and a reassessment of the PQL.

II. Background 

A. What is the Relationship Between SDWA Requirements and Analytical Methods?

The SDWA [§1401(1)(C)(i); 42 U.S.C. § 300f(1)(C)(i)] states that an MCL for a national

primary drinking water regulation is set "if, in the judgment of the Administrator, it is

economically and technologically feasible to ascertain the level of such contaminant in water in

public water systems." According to SDWA, NPDWRs include "criteria and procedures to
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 2 Final - March 2003 

assure a supply of drinking water which dependably complies with such maximum contaminant

levels; including accepted methods of quality control and testing procedures to insure

compliance with such levels" [§1401(1)(D); 42 U.S.C. § 300f(1)(D)]. Except in certain

circumstances, EPA is to set the MCL as close to the Maximum Contaminant Level Goal

(MCLG) as is feasible with the best available technologies (Section 1412 (b)(4)(B)). The MCLs

for several SDWA contaminants were set due to the limits of the analytical feasibility at that

time. Since the promulgation of pre-1996 SDWA NPDWRs, newer analytical methods and

updated methods for measuring SDWA contaminants have been approved. The approval of

newer analytical techniques may have provided laboratories with the analytical capability to

measure some contaminants at lower levels. In addition, some laboratories may have improved

in their ability to measure at lower levels using the same methods that were originally

promulgated.

In considering analytical methods for use in compliance monitoring, EPA evaluates the

overall sensitivity of the techniques. In previous regulations, EPA used two measures of

analytical capability, the Method Detection Limit (MDL) and the Practical Quantitation Level

(PQL).

< The MDL is a measure of method sensitivity. The MDL is defined at 40 CFR Part 136

Appendix B as "the minimum concentration of a substance that can be reported with 99%

confidence that the analyte concentration is greater than zero." MDLs can be operator,

method, laboratory, and matrix-specific. Due to normal day-to-day and run-to-run analytical

variability, MDLs may not be reproducible within a laboratory or between laboratories. The

regulatory significance of the MDL is that EPA uses the MDL to determine when a

contaminant is deemed to be detected and it can be used to calculate a PQL for that

contaminant.

< In the preamble to a November 13, 1985 rulemaking (50 FR 46906), the PQL was defined as

"the lowest concentration of an analyte that can be reliably measured within specified limits

of precision and accuracy during routine laboratory operating conditions." The Agency has

used the PQL to estimate or evaluate the minimum concentration at which most laboratories

can be expected to reliably measure a specific chemical contaminant during day-to-day

analyses of drinking water samples. The PQL is a means of integrating information on the

performance of the approved analytical methods into the development of a drinking water

regulation (52 FR 25699, July 8, 1987). The PQL incorporates the following (50 FR 46880,

November 13, 1985; 52 FR 25690, July 8, 1987; 54 FR 22062, May 22, 1989):

C quantitation,

C precision and bias,

C normal operations of a laboratory, and

C the fundamental need to have a sufficient number of laboratories available to conduct

compliance monitoring analyses.

C

In some cases, the quantitation limit for a particular analyte may have been the limiting

factor in the determination of the MCL for that analyte. This could be especially true for

contaminants with MCLGs of zero. Also, there are several SDWA contaminants with non-zero

MCLGs that have their MCL set at the PQL.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 3 Final - March 2003 

B. How Have PQLs Been Determined in the Past for SDWA Contaminants?

Historically, EPA’s OGWDW used two main approaches to determine a PQL for SDWA

analytes. One approach (and the preferred approach) used data from Water Supply (WS)

Performance Evaluation (PE) studies. Although the primary use of the WS-PE data was for

EPA’s laboratory certification, the data were also used as a secondary data source for many years

to develop PQLs when the spike concentrations were in the appropriate concentration range. The

derivation of the PQL using WS data involved determining the concentration of an analyte at

which 75 percent of EPA Regional and State laboratories achieved results within a specified

range around the spike value. In the absence of WS data, the other approach that EPA used was

the MDL multiplier method. In this approach, the PQL was calculated by multiplying the EPAderived MDL by a factor of 5 or 10. The 5 or 10 multiplier was used to account for the

variability and uncertainty that can occur at the MDL. The

MDL multiplier method was mostly used in the early years of rule development for NPDWRs

when insufficient WS data were available. Once sufficient WS data became available, most of

the PQLs that were developed using the MDL multiplier were validated using WS data. 

1. How Were Water Supply Studies Conducted?

Water Supply Performance Evaluation (WS PE) studies were an integral part of EPA's

certification program for drinking water laboratories for over 20 years. Historically, WS studies

were conducted semi-annually by EPA for all current and proposed drinking water contaminants. 

Although the WS studies were conducted semi-annually, for certification purposes, laboratories

were only required to demonstrate acceptable performance once a year (141.23(k)(3) and

141.24(f)(17)). WS study samples (spike samples) were sent to all laboratories that conduct

drinking water analyses, including utility laboratories, commercial laboratories, and State and

EPA Regional laboratories. Each WS study included samples or sample concentrates that were

analyzed both for all SDWA analytes and for analytes that were being considered for regulation

under the SDWA.

During these WS studies, EPA’s National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) in

Cincinnati, Ohio, sent participating laboratories a set of stable sample concentrates in sealed

glass ampules, a data reporting form, and appropriate instructions. Each laboratory produced the

study samples by diluting a measured quantity of the specific concentrates to volume with

reagent water. The laboratory then analyzed the samples using the specified procedures. The

completed reporting form was sent to EPA for evaluation, the data were carefully reviewed

(QA/QC’ed), entered into a database, and a fully detailed report was then returned to each

laboratory. The responsible State or EPA office contacted those laboratories that demonstrated

potential problems.

At this point in time, the WS Performance Evaluation studies are no longer performed by

EPA. On July 18, 1996 (61 FR 37464), EPA proposed options for the externalization of the PE

studies program (now referred to as the Proficiency Testing or PT program). After evaluating

public comment, in the June 12, 1997 final notice EPA stated that the Agency has decided (62

FR 32112):
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 4 Final - March 2003 

...on a program where EPA would issue standards for the operation of the program, the

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) would develop standards for

private sector PE (PT) suppliers and would evaluate and accredit PE suppliers, and the

private sector would develop and manufacture PE (PT) materials and conduct PE (PT)

studies. In addition, as part of the program, the PE (PT) providers would report the

results of the studies to the study participants and to those organizations that have

responsibility for administering programs supported by the studies.

Since the last WS PE studies performed by EPA were done in the Fall of 1999, the

externalization of the PE program should not effect the data needed for this Six-Year Review

process. However, at this time the Agency has not determined how to gather data to reassess

PQLs for subsequent reviews of NPDWRs.

2. What Criteria Are Used to Determine a PQL?

The derivation of the PQL involves determining the concentration of an analyte at which a

set percentage of the laboratories achieve results within a specified range of the spiked value. 

Historically, the percentage of laboratories has been set at 75 percent, while a range of

acceptance limits around the spiked value has been used. In many cases, EPA derived PQLs

only from the data submitted by the EPA Regional and State laboratories that participate in the

WS studies.

A PQL derived from WS data in such a manner is considered a stringent target for routine

laboratory performance because:

C WS samples are prepared in reagent water and therefore do not contain the matrix

interferences that may occur in field samples.

C Laboratories analyze only a small number of samples for the study and are aware that

the samples are for the purposes of performance evaluation (i.e., they are not "blind"

samples).

In deriving a PQL from WS study data, the Agency typically sets a fixed percentage or 2

sigma (2 standard deviation) acceptance window around the known concentration (or spike

value) of the WS samples. Then the percentage of laboratories achieving results within the

specified acceptance window (y-axis) is plotted against the known spike concentration of the

Water Supply study samples (x-axis). While the acceptance limits for inorganics typically range

from 15 to 30 percent (40 CFR §141.23(k)(3)(ii)), the acceptance limits for organics generally

range from 20 to 50 percent (141.24(f)(17)(i) and 40 CFR §141.24(h)(19)(i)). Several SDWA

analytes have acceptance limits of 2 sigma (2 standard deviation). Linear regression or graphical

analysis is performed on the WS data to determine the concentration at which 75 percent of EPA

Regional and State laboratories achieve acceptable results.

III. How Did EPA Identify Which Contaminants to Evaluate for a PQL Reassessment?

For the Six-Year analytical feasibility review, EPA focused on assessing whether the

practical quantitation level (or PQL) has changed since promulgation for a subset of the 68

chemical NPDWRs. Figure 1 illustrates the overall Six-Year protocol and the basic process used

to identify the subset of contaminants for which a PQL reassessment should be appropriate. 

Using the protocol, EPA identified and performed the analytical feasibility analysis for a total of

40 NPDWRs (Table 1), which fell into one of two categories: 

< First, for those contaminants where the MCL is currently limited by analytical feasibility

(i.e., the MCL is set at the PQL) and the MCLG is still appropriate, EPA evaluated the

currently approved methods for those contaminants and available WS data to determine

whether it might be possible to lower the PQL and hence set an MCL that is closer to the

MCLG. 

< The second circumstance under which EPA re-evaluated the PQL was for contaminants

identified under the Six-Year health effects technical review as having potential changes

to their MCLG. Because the information for the health effects review was not

completely available at the time the analytical methods analysis began, EPA took a

broad-brush approach and included a number of contaminants that may not have needed a

reassessment of their analytical feasibility.

IV. What Approaches Were Used to Reassess the PQLs of Contaminants Identified by

the Six-Year Review Process?

For this Six-Year Review process, several approaches could be used for the reassessment or

re-evaluation of the PQLs for selected chemical contaminants. However, to be consistent with

the policies and the process that the Agency has used in the past (50 FR 46880, November 13,

1985; 52 FR 25690, July 8, 1987; 54 FR 22062, May 22, 1989), only the "WS data" and the

"MDL Multiplier" approaches were considered for the Six-Year Review process. Of these two

approaches, the WS data approach is the preferred route since it relies on actual data to

determine the level of quantitation. For the Six-Year Review, the MDL multiplier method is

only used to estimate what a potential PQL could be if WS data are sufficient to indicate a

change but insufficient to actually recalculate a PQL. There are advantages and disadvantages

for each of these approaches. Some of the advantages and disadvantages for these PQL

derivation approaches are as follows: 
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 9 Final - March 2003 

(1) Analysis of WS PE Data - Uses data from WS studies to derive a new PQL. This value is

compared to the old PQL (i.e., the one that is currently in place).

The advantages of the WS PE Data methods of deriving a PQL -

< Uses inter-laboratory data collected at concentrations near the MCL.

< More representative of what methods are being used for the analysis of that contaminant.

< May be the preferred approach for contaminants with MCLGs of zero.

The disadvantages of the WS analysis method of deriving a PQL -

< In the past, some stakeholders have felt that the PQL may be influenced by the set of WS

data used (i.e., using data from all laboratories as opposed to only using data from EPA

State and Regional laboratories). 

< Some stakeholders have felt that the laboratory performance on WS data may be skewed,

because WS samples may be treated as special samples that are critical for laboratory

certification.

< The derivation of PQLs from WS data is a resource- and time-intensive process.

< Because the WS samples are designed to test precision and accuracy around the MCL,

the WS data may not cover concentrations several orders of magnitude below the current

MCL. Hence, for some analytes, data points at lower levels may not be represented.

(2) The MDL-Multiplier Approach - Using the MDL of the currently approved method(s) for

each contaminant, the 5 or 10 multiplier method can be used to estimate the PQL. This value is

then compared to the PQL that was derived before the 1996 SDWA Amendments.

The advantage of the MDL multiplier approach - it is a relatively easy and clear process.

The disadvantages of the MDL multiplier approach -

< The WS studies test laboratory performance near the MCL as opposed to the MDL. A

PQL derived from the MDL multiplier method may not be representative, because the

reproducibility of a result obtained at the MDL is often not as good as that obtained near

the MCL.

< Because several methods may be approved for the same contaminant, it can be

difficult to decide which MDL to select for the PQL calculation. However, knowledge of

the methods that are the most widely used can be determined from the WS data since

laboratories report which method was used to analyze spike samples.

Acknowledging the advantages and disadvantages of the WS analysis and the MDL

multiplier approach, EPA used the following steps for the Six Year Review to reassess analytical

feasibility for the 40 chemical contaminants identified:

• The first step is the methods comparison step. This step compared the method detection

limits of the analytical methods which were available at the time the PQL was set to the

method detection limits for the currently approved analytical methods. This methods

comparison should help to identify whether the ability to detect (and therefore quantify)

these contaminants at lower levels has increased.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 10 Final - March 2003 

• The second step is the method usage over time. This step used information from the last

eight Water Supply studies (WS 34 through WS 41; 1996 to 1999) to generate a bar

graph of the distribution of the analytical methods used to analyze the spike samples in

the WS studies. This analysis should give an idea of the analytical methods that appear

to be the most widely used for the analysis of particular contaminants. Knowing which

analytical methods are the most widely used and the MDL for these methods can aid in

estimating where the quantitation may lie today.

• The third and last step is the Water Supply data analysis step. If Water Supply data are

sufficient, more recent WS data can be used to recalculate the PQL (using linear

regression or graphical analyses) and determine if the quantitation level has changed.

Data may be considered insufficient if there are not enough data points around the 75

percent criteria to recalculate the PQL using linear regression or graphical analysis. This

may occur if the laboratories evaluated exhibit high passing rates (>75 percent) for all of

the WS studies evaluated and/or no WS spike samples were below the concentration of

the current PQL. However, even if the WS data are insufficient to actually recalculate

the PQL, the information may be useful to either confirm that the current PQL still

appears to remain appropriate or it may give an indication as to whether the PQL is

likely to change (if the data points at concentrations close to the current PQL are

available).

Using the information from these three steps helped EPA to determine if our ability to

quantify contaminants at lower levels has increased. If there was an indication that the PQL has

or could change, then pending the results of the health effects and occurrence review, as well as

risk management considerations, these chemical contaminants may be subject to a full blown

PQL reassessment (i.e., gathering data that sufficiently covers the area around the 75 percent

laboratory passing criteria and the appropriate concentration range).

Note: This document will not discuss whether a full blown PQL reassessment is necessary for

specific contaminants. Instead, that decision will be made after the integration of these results

with the health effects and occurrence and exposure reviews and discussed in the Six Year

Notice of Intent.

Alachlor

Results of the Method Comparison

The approved drinking water methods for the determination of alachlor, a Phase II synthetic

organic compound (SOC), were listed in the 1991 NPDWRs (56 FR 3526). These methods all

utilize GC or GC/MS with several extraction and/or detector variations: EPA Methods 505, 507,

and 525.1. Since promulgation of these original methods, the Agency has eliminated EPA

Method 525.1 from the list of approved methods, and has approved the use of three new GC

methods: EPA Methods 508.1, 525.2, and 551.1. The three new methods are approximately 10

to 100 times more sensitive than the earlier methods. The current EPA 505 is equivalent in

sensitivity relative to the time of Phase II promulgation. Table 2 summarizes the current and

previous EPA methods along with their MDLs.

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 2 plots the distribution of analytical techniques used by the EPA and State

laboratories in WS 34 to 41. Methods categorized as "other" represent methods which were not

specifically identified by participating laboratories or were otherwise unknown. As shown in

Figure 2, EPA Method 507 was used fairly consistently throughout WS 34 to 41. Use of EPA

525.1 was phased out after WS 36, while use of EPA Method 525.2 increased significantly

during the same study. EPA Methods 508.1, 505, and "other" methods remained in use

minimally throughout the study period.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

As PE data were not available at the time of the original PQL determination, the PQL of 2

:g/L was derived using a multiplier of 10 on the interlaboratory MDL (0.15 :g/L) based on a

study conducted by the Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory in Cincinnati, Ohio

(54 FR 22104). Data from WS 24 to 41 were used to attempt a PQL re-evaluation. Table 3

summarizes these data, indicating the study number, the true value (i.e., the spiked value) of the

WS sample, the

number of results from EPA and State laboratories, and the calculated percentage of laboratories

whose results successfully passed within designated acceptance limits for alachlor (specified in

40 CFR §141.24(h)(19)(i) to be ± 45 percent).

The data from the available PE studies were not conducive to PQL re-evaluation, as the

percentage of labs passing generally exceeded the standard 75 percent passing criterion needed

to calculate the PQL using linear regression or graphical analysis (with the exception of one

study - WS 29). However, even around the original PQL of 2 :g/L, the percentage of

laboratories passing is extremely variable and ranges from 71.4 percent in WS 29 to 100 percent

for several WS studies at varying concentrations. Even at higher concentrations of 3.8 :g/L (WS

27) and 4.87 :g/L (WS 37) the laboratory passing rates dip to 88 and 85 percent, respectively. 

Based on this information, EPA believes the PQL for alachlor appears to still be in the

appropriate range.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 14 Final - March 2003 

Conclusion for Alachlor

Since the promulgation of the 1991 NPDWR for alachlor and other Phase II SOCs, three new

analytical methods (EPA Methods 525.2, 508.1, and 551.1) have been approved for the

determination of alachlor in drinking water. Based on the distribution of method use over time

(Figure 2), it appears that EPA and State laboratories did not utilize the increased analytical

sensitivity of the newer methods, instead preferring use of EPA Method 507. Meanwhile, a PQL

for alachlor could not be recalculated using the PE data from WS 24 to 41. Nearly every study

exhibited a laboratory success rate above the 75 percent criterion needed for re-evaluating the

PQL, and furthermore, the range of true values generally exceeded the current PQL value. 

Therefore, the available PE data provide very limited evidence for revising the current PQL of 2

:g/L. Based on the available data, EPA believes the PQL for alachlor is most likely in the

appropriate range.

In July 1987, the final NPDWR for eight Phase I VOCs approved the use of EPA Methods

502.2, 503.1, 524.1, and 524.2 for the determination of benzene in drinking water (52 FR

25690). The currently approved methods for benzene determination are EPA Methods 502.2 and

524.2. Table 4 summarizes the MDLs for both the original and current approved versions of the

methods. As compared to the original methods, the updated methods are equal in sensitivity to

the original methods.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 3 summarizes the distribution of the different methods used by the EPA and State

laboratories during WS studies 34 to 41. The category of "other" contains those methods that

were either unknown or otherwise unidentified by the participating laboratories. As shown in

Figure 3, use of EPA Method 524.2 during WS 34 to 41 generally increased over time while use

of EPA Method 502.2 decreased slightly during the same period. Overall, usage of EPA Method

524.2 remained consistently dominant over that of EPA Method 502.2. Use of the original EPA

Methods, 503.1 and 524.1, were not apparent during this period.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 16 Final - March 2003 

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The original PQL of 5 :g/L for benzene was determined by multiplying the regulatory

detection limit of 0.5 :g/L by a factor of 10 (52 FR 25700). To re-evaluate the PQL, multilaboratory performance data from WS 24 through 41 were reviewed. Table 5 summarizes the

results of these water studies, providing the study number, the spiked value for the WS sample,

the number of laboratory results, and the percentage of laboratories whose reported results fell

within the acceptance limits of ± 20 percent for true values greater than 10 :g/L and ± 40 percent

for true values lower than 10 :g/L (specified at 141.24(f)(17)(i)).

The overall data for benzene, as shown in Table 5, indicate that the passing rates for

laboratories fall well above the 75 percent criterion for establishing a revised PQL value. 

However, as shown in Figure 4, the PE data for benzene display different relationships with true

values concentration depending on the acceptance limits (20 or 40 percent). The data

representing laboratories passing the 40 percent acceptance limits plot a horizontal line and do

not contribute meaningfully to a PQL re-evaluation. For the laboratories passing the 20 percent

acceptance limits, the regression line demonstrates a positive slope, although a PQL reevaluation is also not possible because the true values exceed the current PQL. However, the

high percentages of laboratories passing around the current PQL of 5 :g/L suggest that the PQL

for benzene could possibly be lower.

Conclusion for Benzene

The method comparison results show that, since the promulgation of analytical methods

under the original NPDWR for benzene, two of these methods are no longer approved for

determination of this contaminant and method sensitivity has remained about the same. 

Evaluation of the quantitative PE data shows that the laboratories conducting WS analyses

exhibited very high passing rates. Because the percentage of laboratories passing the PE testing

exceeds the 75 percent criterion, a re-evaluation of the PQL could not be performed using this

approach. But the high percentages of laboratories passing around the current PQL of 5 :g/L

suggest that the PQL for benzene could possibly be lower.

Benzo(a)pyrene

Results of the Method Comparison

With the Phase V synthetic organic compounds (57 FR 31776), three approved methods were

listed for determination of benzo(a)pyrene in drinking water, including gas

chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with liquid-solid extraction (LSE; EPA Method

525.1), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with liquid-liquid extraction (LLE;

EPA Method 550), and HPLC with LSE (EPA Method 550.1). Since this regulation was

promulgated, the Agency has replaced the old GC/MS - LSE method with an updated version,

EPA Method 525.2.

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 5 illustrates the distribution of the analytical techniques used by EPA and State

laboratories in WS studies 34 to 41. The "other" techniques shown in this figure include

unidentified, unknown, or unreported techniques. Figure 5 shows that, by the time of WS study

38, EPA Method 525.1 was almost completely phased out and replaced with EPA 525.2 (which,

according to Table 6, is more sensitive).

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The original PQL was estimated at 0.2 :g/L (57 FR 31802) based on PE data compiled from

WS studies 23, 24, 26, and 27. The data used for the re-evaluation of the PQL were taken from

WS studies 26 through 41. Table 7 summarizes the results of these studies. The table provides

the WS study number, the spiked or "true value" for the WS sample, the number of laboratory

results, and the percent of laboratories passing the WS proficiency test for benzo(a)pyrene within

the acceptance limits. The acceptance limits were calculated to be plus or minus two standard

deviations from the estimated mean recovery, as stipulated in CFR §141.24(h)(19)(i).

Figure 6 shows the plot of the benzo(a)pyrene data for WS 26 to 41, and the linear regression

line. There is no meaningful relationship in these data, in large part because the true values of

the samples are so high that a very large percentage of the labs passed all the PE series. Further,

only one PE sample approached the current PQL (WS 31), and these results (79 percent passing)

support the current PQL.

Conclusion for Benzo(a)pyrene

As noted in the method comparison, a more sensitive method (EPA Method 525.2) has been

approved since the promulgation of benzo(a)pyrene, replacing an older and less sensitive version

(EPA Method 525.1). The method usage evaluation shows that in recent years, a majority of
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 21 Final - March 2003 

benzo(a)pyrene, replacing an older and less sensitive version (EPA Method 525.1). The method

usage evaluation shows that in recent years, a majority of EPA and State laboratories in the PE

studies have chosen to use this more sensitive method out of all the approved methods for

benzo(a)pyrene. The WS data do not afford a re-evaluation of the PQL, and at best, support the

current value. There is no clear evidence to support a change from the current PQL of 0.2 :g/L. 

The current PQL appears to be appropriate.

Beryllium

Results of the Method Comparison

With the Phase V IOCs (57 FR 31776), EPA approved multiple analytical methods for

determination of beryllium in drinking water, including an atomic absorption–furnace (AAF)

method (EPA Method 210.2), an inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy

(ICP-AES) method (EPA Method 200.7), ICP-mass spectroscopy method (ICP/MS) (EPA

Method 200.8), and atomic absorption-platform (AAP) method (EPA Method 200.9), and three

voluntary consensus standard methods, including Standard Methods 3113B (AAF) and 3120B

(ICP/AES) and ASTM Method D3645-84B (AAF). EPA Method 210.2 and ASTM Method

D3645-84B have since been removed from the approved list and replaced by one voluntary

consensus standard method, ASTM Method D3645-93B (AAF). These methods are listed in

Table 8. The MDLs of EPA Methods 200.7, 200.8 and 200.9 do not present any improved

sensitivity capabilities.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of the analytical techniques used by the EPA and State laboratories in WS

studies 34 to 41 is shown in Figure 7. The category of "other" techniques include additional

methods used by participating laboratories, as well as "unknown" methods, i.e., methods for

which laboratories did not report any information on the type of method used. As shown in

Figure 7, EPA Methods 200.7 and 210.2 were the most widely used methods in WS 34 and 35. 

By WS 37, laboratories ceased to use EPA Method 210.2 and relied more on EPA Method 200.9. 

From WS 37 to 41, EPA Methods 200.7, 200.8, and 200.9 were most commonly used. The two

3000-series Standard Methods were used to a far lesser extent than these EPA Methods.

The current PQL (1.0 :g/L) was originally determined using PE data from WS 24 through 27

(56 FR 60949). A PQL re-evaluation was attempted using more current data spanning WS 24 to

41. Table 9 summarizes the results of these water studies, providing the study number, the

spiked value for the WS sample, the number of results from EPA and State laboratories, and the

beryllium results evaluated using an acceptance limit of ± 15 percent (as indicated at 40 CFR

The data in Table 9 seems to indicate that a linear relationship might exist between "true"

value concentration and percentage of labs passing. Furthermore, a PQL re-evaluation appeared

possible because the percentage of labs passing fell within the 75 percent criterion for some

studies, and the true values from the water studies approximated the general range of the current

PQL. Visual evaluation of the laboratory passing percentages around the current PQL of 1 :g/L

indicate that this value is still appropriate and unlikely to change. The graph in Figure 8 

illustrates this relationship between the spike concentrations and the laboratory passing rates. As

shown in Figure 8, the recalculated PQL of 0.71 :g/L, is slightly lower than the current PQL.

Conclusion for Beryllium

The method comparison results indicate that EPA Method 200.9 is the most sensitive method

for determination of beryllium in drinking water and its MDL has improved by five-fold over the

most sensitive MDLs achieved at the time of promulgation. EPA Method 200.7 was used more

widely in previous years but is less sensitive. As revealed by the results of method usage over

time, EPA Method 200.9 is the most commonly employed method for beryllium determination in

recent PE studies. These trends seem to imply a shift in analytical capabilities for beryllium

determination toward greater sensitivity. Thus, EPA and State laboratories are likely to reach

lower detection limits today compared to the year of NPDWR promulgation. The re-evaluation

of the PQL using a linear regression was calculated to be 0.71 :g/L, a value close to the current

PQL of 1 :g/L. Although it may be possible to lower the PQL slightly based on more recent PE

data, the current PQL is still appropriate.

Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate

Results of the Method Comparison

At the time of the Phase V SOC promulgation (57 FR 31776), EPA Methods 506 and 525.1

were the only approved methods for the analysis of bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (also known as

di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate). Since that time, EPA Method 506, which uses LLE or LSE GC with

PID, has remained on the approved methods list while EPA Method 525.1, which utilizes LSE

GC/MS, has been replaced by a more sensitive version, EPA Method 525.2. This increased
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 26 Final - March 2003 

sensitivity, however, is only marginal, as evidenced by the similarity of their MDLs. Table 10

lists the approved methods, techniques, and MDLs, during and after the time of rule

promulgation.

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of the analytical methods used during WS 34 to 41 by participating EPA and

State laboratories are illustrated in Figure 9. The category of "other" represents any alternative

or unreported methods. As shown in Figure 9, use of EPA Method 525.1 decreased

significantly, corresponding to the introduction of EPA Method 525.2 during WS 36. By WS 38,

EPA Method 525.1 was no longer used by any laboratories for analyzing bis(2-

ethylhexyl)phthalate. Laboratories overwhelmingly chose to use the LSE GC/MS technique

(either EPA Method 525.1 or its replacement, EPA Method 525.2) over EPA Method 506, which

utilized the LLE or LSE GC with PID.

Using the data in Table 11, a linear regression was performed by plotting the percentage of

the laboratories passing for WS 24 to 41 (excluding WS 25) against the spiked value of bis(2-

ethylhexyl)phthalate (Figure 10). Simple visual examination of the graph shows that the

percentage of laboratories achieving acceptable results approximates 75 percent at a

concentration of 7.84 :g/L. This concentration is higher than the current PQL of 6.0 :g/L,

which was originally estimated using PE data from WS 23, 24, and 27 (57 FR 60953).

Conclusion for Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate

Since the time of the Phase V SOC rule promulgation, EPA Method 525.2 has replaced EPA

Method 525.1. The EPA and State laboratories have overwhelmingly chosen to use EPA

Method 525.2 over any other available methods as evidenced by the plot of method usage over

time. The re-evaluation of the PQL using a linear regression calculated from WS 24a, 26b, 30

and 32 data showed that a new PQL could be derived. The re-evaluated PQL of 7.84 :g/L is

higher than the original PQL of 6 :g/L (57 FR 31802).

Cadmium

Results of the Method Comparison

The 1991 NPDWRs for Phase II IOCs listed atomic absorption–furnace (AAF; EPA Method

213.2), inductively coupled plasma (ICP; EPA Method 200.7A), and Standard Method 304 as

approved analytical methods for the determination of cadmium in drinking water (57 FR 31776). 

Since the promulgation of the rule, these methods have been replaced by four new or updated

methods; three EPA methods (EPA Methods 200.7, 200.8, and 200.9), and one voluntary

consensus standard method (Standard Method 3113B). Table 12 compares the detection limits

of approved methods during and after promulgation of the NPDWR for cadmium and shows

EPA Method 200.9 to be the most sensitive method for detecting cadmium in drinking water.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 11 shows the distribution of analytical techniques used by EPA and State laboratories

for WS studies 34 to 41. The results for "other" techniques in this figure include the use of any

other technique identified by the laboratories participating in the WS study, as well as

"unknown" methods, i.e., methods for which laboratories did not report any information on the

type of method used. During WS 34 and 35, EPA Method 213.2 was the most widely used

method for determining cadmium in drinking water. EPA Methods 200.7, 200.8, and 200.9 were

all used with relatively the same frequency by the participating laboratories in the PE studies. 

Use of SM 3113B lessened over the period between WS 36 and 41.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The current PQL of 2.0 :g/L was originally set using PE data from WS 22 through 25 (56 FR

3549). With the availability of more current data from WS 24 to 41, a PQL re-evaluation was

attempted. Table 13 summarizes the results of these water studies, providing the study number,

the spiked value for the WS sample, the number of results from EPA and State laboratories, and

the cadmium results evaluated using an acceptance limit of ± 20 percent, as designated in 40

CFR § 141.23(k)(3)(ii).

The data in Table 13 were not adequate to perform a PQL re-evaluation. EPA’s preferred

format for evaluating a PQL is to develop a regression (or graphical analysis) using the true

value concentration and the percentage of laboratories passing the performance evaluation. The

PQL is then set at a concentration in which 75 percent of those laboratories pass. In this

instance, however, the participating laboratories passed the evaluation at an average rate of 93

percent, well above the 75 percent criterion. Also, all of the spiked "true" values were well

above the original PQL of 2 :g/L.

Conclusion for Cadmium

A comparison of the analytical methods approved during and after the promulgation of the

NPDWR for cadmium show that the four current methods have sensitivities similar to, or slightly

better than, those of the original methods, with EPA Method 200.9 being the most sensitive (with

an MDL of 0.05 :g/L). Laboratories that participated in the PE water studies chose to utilize

EPA Method 213.2 in the WS studies prior to WS 36 but then chose to utilize EPA Methods

200.7, 200.8, and 200.9 with similar frequency. Review and analysis of the PE data did not

result in the estimation of a new PQL because all of the EPA and State laboratories in the WS

studies evaluated surpassed the required 75 percent criterion typically used to determine a new

PQL. In addition, all of the WS spike concentrations were above the current PQL of 2 :g/L. 

However, laboratory passing rates of greater than 85 percent at concentrations slightly above the

current PQL suggest that the PQL could be lower.

Carbofuran

Results of the Method Comparison

At the promulgation of the NPDWRs for synthetic organic chemicals (56 FR 3552), one

analytical method (EPA Method 531.1) was approved for determination of carbofuran in

drinking water. One additional method, Standard Method (SM) 6610, has been included as a

currently approved method for carbofuran analysis. Both current methods use the HPLC

technique and have similar MDLs. Table 14 summarizes the approved methods, both past and

present, for determination of carbofuran.

Figure 12 illustrates the methods chosen by EPA and State laboratories for carbofuran

analysis during WS PE studies 34 to 41. The category of "other" includes any unidentified or

unreported techniques used by participating laboratories. As shown in Figure 12, the

predominant method used by laboratories participating in the WS studies is EPA Method 531.1. 

The smallest percentage of labs using this method is 91.7 percent (in WS 37), indicating wide

usage compared to SM 6610 or any other available methods.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The current PQL of 7 :g/L was derived from multiplying the interlaboratory method

detection limit (IMDL) of 0.7 :g/L by a factor of ten (54 FR 22062). To conduct a PQL reevaluation, the numerical data from WS 24 to 41 were analyzed (no data were available for WS

28). Table 15 summarizes each WS result including the spiked (or "true") value, the number of

participating laboratories, and the percentage of laboratories passing within the specified

acceptance limit for carbofuran (± 45 percent of the spiked value, as specified in 40 CFR

§141.24(h)(19)(i)).

Re-evaluation of the PQL by a linear regression approach was not feasible using the data

shown in Table 15. The percentage of laboratories passing within the acceptance limit was well

above the 75 percent criterion historically used to calculate the PQL. Also, very few (e.g., only

WS 29, 30, and 32) of the WS studies provided a sample with a true value concentration near the

original PQL. Because of these data limitations, the PQL could not be re-evaluated using the

historical linear regression approach. Instead, at concentrations approaching nearly half of the

current PQL, laboratories in WS 29 were observed to achieve a 100 percent passing rate,

implying strong analytical capabilities at a low concentration. This observation could have

implications for lowering the PQL.

Conclusion for Carbofuran

Since the time of promulgation of the original methods, one new method (SM 6610) has been

added for carbofuran analysis. The current EPA Method 531.1 is nearly twice as sensitive as the

previous version, and the plot of method usage over time illustrates that EPA Method 531.1 was

the most commonly used method for the determination of carbofuran. Together, these facts

imply that analytical methods capabilities have improved over time. The PE data from WS

studies 24 to 41, however, were not useful for a PQL re-evaluation because of the extremely high

number of laboratories passing within the accepted limit for carbofuran. While the high success

rate of laboratories at some low concentrations may present a potential argument for lowering

the PQL from 7 :g/L, there are no data available to support changing the original PQL.

Carbon Tetrachloride

Results of the Method Comparison

In July 1987, the final NPDWR for eight Phase I VOCs approved the use of EPA Methods

502.1, 502.2, 524.1, and 524.2 for the determination of carbon tetrachloride in drinking water

(52 FR 25690). The current approved methods for carbon tetrachloride determination are EPA

Methods 502.2, 524.2, and 551.1. Table 16 summarizes the MDLs for both the original and

currently approved versions of the methods. As shown in Table 16, EPA Method 551.1 has the

greater detection sensitivity than EPA Methods 502.2 and 524.2.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of the different methods used by the EPA and State laboratories during WS

studies 34 to 41 are shown in Figure 13. The category of "other" contains those methods that

were unknown or unidentified by the participating laboratories. As shown in Figure 13, EPA

Methods 524.2 and 502.2 are currently the preferred methods used by laboratories for
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 37 Final - March 2003 

determination of carbon tetrachloride. Use of the original methods, EPA Methods 502.1 and

524.1, was not apparent over this time period; plotting data from studies prior to WS 34 might

reveal more information on the use of these methods.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The original PQL of 5 :g/L (52 FR 25700) for carbon tetrachloride was determined from PE

data from WS 8 to 11. Re-evaluation of the PQL was attempted using data from WS studies 24

through 41. Table 17 summarizes the results of these WS studies providing the study number,

the spiked value for the WS sample, the number of participating laboratories, and the percent of

laboratories passing the WS proficiency test for carbon tetrachloride within the specified

acceptance limits for carbon tetrachloride (± 20 percent for a true value greater than10 :g/L, or ±

40 percent for a true value lower than 10 :g/L as specified at 141.24(f)(17)(i)).

From Table 17, it can be concluded that the available PE data for carbon tetrachloride are

insufficient for a PQL re-evaluation. For the WS studies evaluated, the participating labs passed

the proficiency exams at a passing rates greater than the standard 75 percent acceptance criterion

used to determine the PQL. In addition, only one WS study (WS 24) had a concentration lower

than the current PQL. However, passing rates of greater than 96 percent at concentrations close

to the current PQL suggest that the current PQL of 5 :g/L could be possibly be lower.

Conclusion for Carbon Tetrachloride

The method comparison results show that since the promulgation of analytical methods

under the NPDWR, three new methods (EPA Methods 502.2, 524.2, and 551.1) have replaced

the two original analytical methods (EPA Methods 502.1 and 524.1). While EPA Method 551.1

is the most sensitive of the three currently approved methods, this method is not currently used

by EPA or State laboratories according to the available WS data. Instead, EPA Method 524.2,

the least sensitive of the three current methods, has been the primary method of choice. The

MDL of EPA Method 524.2 is more sensitive than EPA 524.1 but less sensitive than EPA 502.1. 

Evaluation of the quantitative PE data showed that the majority of the laboratories conducting

WS analyses surpassed the 75 percent criterion. Because of the high percentage of laboratories
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 39 Final - March 2003 

passing and a lack of spike samples at concentrations below the current PQL, a re-evaluation of

the PQL could not be performed using this approach. However, high passing rates at values

close to the current PQL of 5 :g/L suggest that a lower PQL is possible.

Chlordane

Results of the Method Comparison

With the 1991 promulgation of the Phase II Rule for SOCs, three analytical methods were

approved for the determination of chlordane in drinking water: EPA Methods 505

(GC/microextraction), 508 (GC/ECD), and 525.1 (LSE/GC/MS) (56 FR 3526). Since the

promulgation of this rule, EPA Method 525.1 was removed and EPA Methods 525.2 (LSE,

GC/MS) and 508.1 (GC/LSE/ECD) were added to the approved list. Table 18 lists detection

limits for these methods. Using the highest value of the range of MDLs reported, EPA Methods

508 and 508.1 are both approximately 30 times more sensitive than EPA Method 505.

Figure 14. Distribution of Analytical Techniques by WS Study: Chlordane

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 14 plots the distribution of analytical techniques used by EPA and State laboratories

in WS 34 to 41. The "other" techniques represent methods which were not specifically identified

by participating laboratories or were otherwise unknown. As shown in Figure 14, the majority

of laboratories used EPA Method 508 for determination of chlordane in WS 34 to 41. EPA

Method 525.1, which was used quite minimally in earlier WS studies, was replaced by EPA

Method 525.2 in WS 36. Laboratories also began to employ EPA Methods 508.1 and 525.2

during WS 36. For WS 34 to 41, EPA Method 505 consistently remained the second-most

commonly used method after EPA Method 508.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The Agency derived the current chlordane PQL of 2 :g/L by multiplying the detection limit

by a factor of ten (56 FR 3552). With the availability of recent PE WS data, efforts were made

to reassess the PQL using PE data from WS 24 to 41. Table 19 summarizes the data from these

WS studies, indicating the study number, the spiked or "true" value of the WS sample, the

number of results from EPA and State laboratories, and the calculated percentage of laboratories

whose results successfully passed within federally designated acceptance limits for chlordane. 

These acceptance limits are specified in 40 CFR §141.24(h)(19)(i) to be ± 45 percent.

Table 19 shows that EPA and State laboratories consistently demonstrated high success rates,

surpassing the 75 percent criterion for all evaluated water studies. Therefore, a new PQL could

not be re-evaluated using this approach. Even at low spiked concentrations, including three

samples below the current PQL, well over 80 percent of participating laboratories successfully

determined results within the acceptance limits. This observation suggests the possibility that

laboratories may be capable of determining chlordane at levels below the current PQL.

Conclusion for Chlordane

The plot of method usage over time (from WS studies) indicates consistent use of EPA

Methods 508 and 505 over the duration of the selected studies, with laboratories favoring usage

of EPA Method 508. EPA Method 508 represents the most sensitive currently approved method

(Table 18). It appears that analytical capabilities for chlordane overall have improved since the
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 42 Final - March 2003 

time of NPDWR promulgation. The available WS data do not support a reassessment of the

PQL based on the 75 percent criterion, however, because the passing rates of laboratories always

exceeded this value. Because such high passing rates were observed for some low spiked

concentrations (e.g., 88 percent laboratory success for a concentration 2.5 times lower than the

current PQL), it is possible that a lowered PQL might be appropriate. However, the desired

quantitative reassessment of the PQL could not be performed using the historical approach.

Chromium

Results of the Method Comparison

In 1991, the Phase II rule for IOCs listed EPA Methods 218.2 (AAF) and 200.7A (ICP) and

Standard Method 304 (AAF) as the approved methods for determination of chromium in

drinking water (57 FR 31776). Since that time, EPA Method 218.2 has been removed from the

list of approved methods and four new methods have been added: two EPA Methods (200.8,

ICP/MS; and 200.9, AAP); and two Standard Methods (3113B, AAF; and 3120B, ICP). The

sensitivity of EPA Method 200.9 exhibits approximately ten times the sensitivity of the prior

methods. The detection limits of the Standard Methods are not specified. Table 20 summarizes

the MDL information for all current and former approved methods.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of analytical methods used by participating laboratories from WS 34 to 41 is

shown in Figure 15. The results for "other" techniques in this figure include the use of any other

technique identified by the laboratories participating in the WS study, as well as "unknown"

methods, i.e., methods for which laboratories did not report any information on the type of

method used. During WS 34 and 35, EPA Methods 200.7 and 218.2 were the most widely used

among laboratories participating in the PE studies. By WS 36, EPA Method 218.2 was no longer

in use. Overall, EPA Method 200.7 remained the most commonly used method during WS 34-

41. Voluntary consensus standard methods SM 3120 and SM 3113B were also used in many

WS studies.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The current PQL of 10 :g/L was derived using earlier PE data from WS 24 through 27 (56

FR 3549). For the PQL re-evaluation, data were taken from a broader range of studies, including

more recent PE data (WS 24 to 41). The results of these water studies, providing the study

number, the spiked value for the WS sample, the number of results from EPA and State

laboratories, and the reported results evaluated using an acceptance limit of ± 15 percent

(§141.23(k)(3)(ii)) are summarized in Table 21.

A re-evaluation of the PQL could not be performed using the available PE data in Table 21. 

To conduct a graphical PQL analysis requires laboratory success rates ranging below the 75

percent criterion, which participating laboratories consistently surpassed (achieving a passing

rate of greater than 87 percent for all the WS studies evaluated). Furthermore, the spiked

concentrations used in each water study were above the original PQL (10 :g/L).

Conclusion for Chromium

The method comparison results indicate that some methods approved after the promulgation

of the Phase II Rule are more sensitive than the original methods (one of which was

discontinued). Currently the most sensitive method is EPA Method 200.9 (AAP). However,

according to the plot of method usage over time, EPA Method 200.7 (ICP) consistently has

remained the most frequent choice for EPA and State laboratories, and the MDL of this method

has not changed significantly. These facts suggest no significant alteration to the analytical

capabilities of laboratories. Using the designated ± 15 percent acceptance limit, the evaluation

of recent WS data revealed that these data are outside a range that would allow for a reevaluation of the PQL. Thus, the PE data continue to support the existing PQL of 10 :g/L.

1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP)

Results of the Method Comparison

The NPDWR for DBCP, a Phase II SOC, listed EPA Method 504 (GC with microextraction)

as the only approved method for determination of this compound (56 FR 3526). Since then,

EPA has replaced this method with EPA Methods 504.1 and 551.1. Table 22 summarizes the
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 46 Final - March 2003 

approved methods at promulgation and currently approved methods. EPA Method 504.1 has a

MDL roughly equal to the MDL of the original EPA Method 504.

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 16 is a plot of the distribution of analytical techniques used by EPA and State

laboratories in WS 34 to 41. The "other" techniques represent methods that were not specifically

identified by participating laboratories or were otherwise unknown. As shown in Figure 16, the

majority of laboratories used EPA Method 504.1 during WS studies 34 to 41. The other recently

approved method, EPA Method 551, was only used minimally during WS 36 to 39. 

Participating laboratories chose "other" methods approximately 10 to 15 percent of the time.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

For DBCP, the original PQL of 0.2 :g/L was derived by multiplying the detection limit of

0.02 :g/L by a factor of ten (56 FR 3551). Recent PE data from WS 26 to 41 have enabled EPA

to attempt a reassessment of the PQL. Table 23 summarizes the data from these WS studies

(except WS 33 which did not contain data), indicating the study number, the true value of the

WS sample, the number of results from EPA and State laboratories, and the calculated

percentage of laboratories whose results successfully passed within the 40 percent acceptance

limits for DBCP.

Based on the data in Table 23, a revised PQL value could not be estimated because the

passing rate of participating laboratories surpassed the 75 percent criterion needed. Also, the

true values of the spiked samples in all but one study (WS 36) were greater than the existing

PQL, limiting potential conclusions regarding a lower PQL. Therefore, a regression analysis

was not performed. However, high passing rates at concentrations around the current PQL of 0.2

:g/L are suggestive of a change in the PQL.

Conclusion for DBCP

The MDL of EPA Method 504.1, a GC-microextraction technique, has not changed

substantially since the promulgation of the NPDWR for DBCP. According to recent WS study

data, laboratories have elected to use EPA Method 504.1 more often than EPA Method 551.1. 

These observations imply that detection limits for the overall contaminant have remained fairly

constant over time. Using the data compiled from WS 26 to 41, the current PQL was reassessed. 

However, laboratories in all studies surpassed the 75 percent passing rate used in a PQL reevaluation, such that a regression analysis was not attempted. Furthermore, the true value

concentrations exhibited in almost all of the studies were higher than the current PQL, meaning

that the effects of lower PQL could not be determined. Although, the available PE data were not

suitable to recalculate a new PQL, the high passing rates are suggestive of a change in the PQL.

1,4-Dichlorobenzene (para-dichlorobenzene)

Results of the Method Comparison

With the promulgation of the final rule for Phase I VOCs in July 1987 (52 FR 25690), five

approved methods were listed for the determination of 1,4-dichlorobenzene (also known as paradichlorobenzene) in drinking water: EPA Methods 502.1, 502.2, 503.1, 524.1, and 524.2. Since

the promulgation of this rule, the Agency has removed EPA Methods 502.1, 503.1, and 524.1

from the list of approved methods. The detection limits of the currently approved methods have

not changed significantly from the methods approved at the time of promulgation. Table 24

summarizes the original and current methods and their MDLs.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The original PQL of 5 :g/L for 1,4-dichlorobenzene was determined by using PE data from

Water Supply Studies 8 to 11 (50 FR 46880). For the six-year regulatory review, more recent

WS data were compiled to provide a more accurate, updated assessment of laboratory

capabilities. Hence, data from WS studies 24 to 27 and 29 to 41 were used to attempt to reevaluate the PQL. Table 25 summarizes the available PE data by providing the study number,

spiked value for the WS sample, number of laboratory results, and percentage of laboratories

passing the proficiency test within the acceptance limits, meaning their reported results fall

within the designated acceptance limits for a particular contaminant. The acceptance limits for

1,4-dichlorobenzene are ± 20 percent for a true value greater than 10 :g/L, or ± 40 percent for a

true value lower than 10 :g/L (as specified at 40 CFR § 141.24(f)(17)(i)).

25 20.8 37 83.8

Because a very large percentage of EPA and State laboratories passed the proficiency test

within the bounds of the designated acceptance limits, the PQL could not be determined using

the historical 75 percent criterion. Therefore, a regression analysis could not be conducted. 

However, the high passing rates suggest that the PQL could be lower.

Conclusion for 1,4-Dichlorobenzene

Since the promulgation of the NPDWR for 1,4-dichlorobenzene, the two analytical methods

approved in 1987, EPA Methods 502.2 and 524.2, are still approved for use today. According to

the distribution of analytical methods usage over time, EPA Method 524.2 was more widely used

than EPA Method 502.2 during WS 34 to 41. Upon review of the WS data, a high percentage of

laboratories successfully passed the proficiency tests, preventing a graphical estimated

assessment of the PQL at the 75 percent passing rate. Although the available PE data are

insufficient to recalculate the PQL, high passing rates are suggestive of a change in the PQL.

VOC (52 FR 25690) are EPA Methods 502.1, 502.2, 524.1, and 524.2. These methods all utilize

GC or GC/MS with several extraction and/or detector variations. Since promulgation of these

original methods, the Agency has removed EPA Methods 502.1 and 524.1 from the list of

The types of methods used over time by the EPA and State laboratories during WS studies 34

unknown or unreported methods. Using Figure 18, it is apparent that the percentage of labs

using EPA Method 502.2 has steadily declined while EPA Method 524.2 has experienced an

increase in use over the time period between WS studies 34 and 41.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The original PQL of 5 :g/L (52 FR 25700) for 1,2-dichloroethane was established by using

the data from WS PE studies 8 to 11. To re-evaluate the PQL, data were taken from WS 24 to

41. This data, including the study number, the spiked or "true" value for the WS sample, the

number of laboratory results, and the percent of laboratories passing within the accepted limits of

± 20 percent for a spiked value of > 10 :g/L and ± 40 percent for a spiked value of < 10 :g/L,

are compiled and illustrated in Table 27.

As shown in Table 27, the percentage of laboratories passing the acceptance limit averaged

over 90 percent which is well above the 75 percent passing criterion selected to determine the

PQL. Also, the spiked (or "true") values which the laboratories received were higher than the

original PQL of 5 :g/L (with the exception of WS 27). Therefore, recalculation of the PQL

could not be performed with these data. However, the high passing rates at concentrations close

to the current PQL suggest that the PQL could be lower.

Conclusion for 1,2-Dichloroethane

EPA Methods 502.2 and 524.2 have remained approved analytical methods for the

determination of 1,2-dichloroethane in drinking water since promulgation of analytical methods

under Phase I. One of the original methods, EPA Method 502.1, had the greatest detection

sensitivity of the four methods mentioned but is currently not approved for analysis. The method

usage evaluation shows that, of the two currently approved methods, EPA Method 524.2 has

steadily become the more preferred method of analysis by laboratories. Based on an analysis of

the WS data, there are not enough appropriate data to conduct a reassessment of the PQL. 

However, high laboratory passing rates at concentrations close to the PQL 5 :g/L are suggestive

of a change in the PQL.

1,1-Dichloroethylene

Results of the Method Comparison

The analytical methods approved for the determination of 1,1-dichloroethylene under the

NPDWRs for Phase I VOCs include EPA Methods 502.1, 503.1, and 524.1 (52 FR 25899). 

Since the promulgation of the rule in 1987, the Agency has added EPA Methods 502.2 and

524.2, to the list of approved methods. The currently approved methods for 1,1-dichloroethylene

determination are EPA Methods 502.2 and 524.2. Table 28 summarizes the MDLs for both the

original and current approved versions of the methods.

Dichloroethylene

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 19 shows the distribution of analytical techniques used by EPA and State laboratories

for WS studies 34 to 41. The results for "other" techniques in this figure include the use of any

other technique identified by the laboratories participating in the WS study, as well as

"unknown" methods, i.e., methods for which laboratories did not report any information on the

type of method used. As shown in Figure 19, EPA Method 502.2 was used less as EPA Method

524.2 was used more often (as shown from WS 34 to 41).

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The current PQL of 5 :g/L was originally set using previous PE data (54 FR 22102). With

the availability of more current data from WS 24 to 41, a PQL re-evaluation was attempted. 

Table 29 summarizes the results of these studies, including the study number, the spiked (or

"true") value for the sample, the number of laboratory results, and the percent of laboratories

passing the WS proficiency test for 1,1-dichloroethylene within the acceptance limits. The

acceptance limits were calculated as ± 20 percent for a spike value of >10 :g/L and ± 40 percent

for a spiked value of <10 :g/L (as specified at 40 CFR §141.23(f)(17)(i)).

The data from the available PE studies were not conducive to PQL re-evaluation, as the

percentage of labs passing generally exceeded the standard 75 percent passing criterion needed

to estimate the PQL using the graphical approach (with the exception of two studies). However,

high laboratory passing rates for those spike concentrations just above the PQL of 5 :g/L

suggest that the PQL could be lower.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 58 Final - March 2003 

Conclusion for 1,1-Dichloroethylene

The method comparison results indicate that EPA Method 502.2 is now the most sensitive

method for determination of 1,1-dichloroethylene in drinking water. As revealed by the results

of method usage over time, EPA Method 524.2 is the most commonly employed method for 1,1-

dichloroethylene determination in recent PE studies. Based on the evaluation of more recent

quantitative PE data, a recalculation of the PQL is not possible. However, the high laboratory

passing rates for a couple spike samples with concentrations slightly above the current PQL of 5

:g/L suggest that the PQL could change.

Dichloromethane (methylene chloride)

Results of the Method Comparison

At the promulgation of the Phase V rule for VOCs (57 FR 31776), four analytical methods

were approved (EPA Methods 502.1, 502.2, 524.1, and 524.2) for the analysis of

dichloromethane (also known as methylene chloride). Since that time, EPA Methods 502.1 and

524.1 have been removed from the approved list, leaving EPA Methods 502.2 and 524.2 as the

remaining currently approved methods. Table 30 provides descriptions of the methods and their

MDLs. The MDLs of the two current methods remain unchanged from their values at the

promulgation of the rule.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of methods used over WS studies 34 to 41 is illustrated in Figure 20. The

designation "other" includes all unknown and unreported methods. As illustrated in Figure 20,

EPA Method 524.2 was the predominant method used in these WS studies. Since WS 35, EPA

Method 524.2 has steadily increased in its usage, experiencing only a slight decrease in WS 41. 

Even though EPA Method 502.2 features slightly better sensitivity than EPA Method 524.2,

laboratories favored EPA Method 524.2, which utilizes GC/MS.

Table 31 summarizes the results of the data from WS 26 to 41 for the use in the PQL reevaluation. Note that data for WS 24, 25, 27, 30, and 31 are not available for this analysis. Table

31 includes the WS number, the spiked "true" value, number of labs that participated in the

studies, and the percentage of those passing within the acceptance limit designated for

dichloromethane (± 20 percent if spiked "true" value is > 10 :g/L or ± 40 percent if the spiked

"true" value is < 10 :g/L specified at 141.24(f)(17)(i)).

The original PQL of 5 :g/L was derived from PE data from WS 22, 23, and 26 (57 FR

60953). As shown by Table 31, the WS data are not appropriate for a PQL re-evaluation using

the linear regression approach. For most of the concentrations listed in Table 31, the percentage

of laboratories passing were well above the 75 percent criterion necessary to recalculate the

PQL. In summary, these data were not suitable for use in reassessing the current PQL using a

graphical method. However, high laboratory passing rates at concentrations close to the current

PQL suggest that the PQL may be lower.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 61 Final - March 2003 

Conclusion for Dichloromethane

Since the promulgation of the Phase V rule, no new methods have been approved for the

analysis of dichloromethane, and analytical capabilities have remained essentially constant. Of

the currently approved methods, EPA Method 524.2 is used more frequently by laboratories for

the detection of dichloromethane, although it is not the most sensitive method available (EPA

Method 502.2). During WS 26 to 41, the percentage of laboratories passing was very high,

limiting the possibilities of re-evaluating the PQL using the historical 75 percent criterion. 

Although, data are insufficient to recalculate the PQL, high passing rates at values close to the

current PQL suggest that the PQL could change.

1,2-Dichloropropane 

Results of the Method Comparison

The final NPDWR for 1,2-dichloropropane, a Phase II VOC, has four approved methods:

EPA Methods 502.1, 502.2, 524.1, and 524.2. Since that time, EPA Methods 502.1 and 524.1

have been removed from the approved list, leaving EPA Methods 502.2 and 524.2 as the

remaining currently approved methods. Table 32 provides descriptions of the methods and their

MDLs. The MDLs of the two current methods remain unchanged from their values at the

promulgation of the rule.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

For PE WS studies 34 to 41, the distribution of methods used by EPA and State laboratories

is illustrated by Figure 21. The category of "other" contains those methods that were unknown

or unidentified by participating laboratories. As Figure 21 shows, EPA Method 524.2 was the

preferred method for laboratories participating in WS 34 to 41. For the most part, the use of

EPA Method 502.2 decreased over time.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 63 Final - March 2003 

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The original PQL of 5 :g/L (56 FR 3526) for 1,2-dichloropropane was determined by using

PE data from WS 18. A re-evaluation of the PQL was attempted using more recent data from

WS studies 29 through 41. Table 33 summarizes the results of these WS studies, including the

study number, the true value concentration of the spiked sample, the number of laboratory results

returned, and the percentage of laboratories passing the proficiency test within acceptance limits

of ± 20 percent for a true value greater than 10 :g/L, or ± 40 percent for a true value lower than

10 :g/L (as specified in 141.24(f)(17)).

For this contaminant, the participating laboratories studies achieved success rates far greater

than the 75 percent criterion typically used to estimate the PQL. Also, all of the true value

concentrations used in the available studies exceeded the current PQL. Thus, the PQL could not

be re-evaluated using the regression method. However, high passing rates of 100 percent for WS

32 with a spike concentration of 6.46 :g/L is very close to the current PQL. This suggests that

the PQL could be lower.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 64 Final - March 2003 

Conclusion for 1,2-Dichloropropane

The method comparison results show that no new methods have been approved since the

promulgation of the NPDWR for 1,2-dichloropropane. Evaluation of the quantitative PE data

showed that laboratories conducting WS analyses had surpassed the 75 percent criterion. 

Because the data featured a large percentage of laboratories passing, and very high true value

concentrations, a re-evaluation of the PQL could not be performed using the typical graphical

estimation approach. Thus, the available WS data are insufficient to recalculate the PQL for 1,2-

dichloropropane. However, high laboratory passing rates for WS studies with concentrations

close to the current PQL are suggestive of a change in the PQL.

2,3,7,8-TCDD (Dioxin)

Results of the Method Comparison

2,3,7,8-TCDD, commonly known as dioxin, was listed with the Phase V SOCs (57 FR

31776). Dioxin has not had any new methods approved for analysis since the promulgation of

the NPDWRs for this contaminant. The MDL of the current method has remain unchanged from

the value at the time of promulgation. Table 34 shows the specifications of EPA Method 1613 in

both past and current periods.

WS data were not available for dioxin; hence, no analyses on these data could be performed.

Conclusion

No new methods have been approved for the analysis of dioxin since the promulgation of the

NPDWRs. The sensitivity of EPA Method 1613 has remained the same. A re-evaluation of the

PQL could not be determined because no PE data were available for examination. Therefore, the

current PQL is likely to remain unchanged.

Diquat

Results of the Method Comparison

Diquat became a regulated SDWA contaminant with the promulgation of the July 1992

Phase V rule for SOCs. Table 35 compares the approved methods at promulgation with

currently approved methods. At the time of the Phase V regulation EPA Methods 549, was

approved for determination of diquat in drinking water (57 FR 31776). In August 1992, EPA

Method 549 was replaced by an updated method, EPA Method 549.1. Because Method EPA

549.1 received approval so soon after the promulgation of the Phase V rule, it is listed in the

column of methods approved at promulgation in Table 35. In 1999 EPA approved EPA Method

549.2 (64 FR 67450) and discontinued EPA Method 549.1.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The original PQL for diquat (4 :g/L) was derived by using PE data from WS 23 to 27 (56 FR

to 41. However, for several of these available water studies, the number of participating

laboratories were too few (under ten) to include for consideration in the analysis. After omitting

these studies, the remaining usable PE data were summarized, including the study number, the

true value of the WS sample, the number of results from EPA and State laboratories, and the

calculated percentage of laboratories whose results successfully passed within federally

designated acceptance limits (Table 36). The acceptance limits for diquat are specified in 40

CFR §141.24(h)(19)(i) to be twice the standard deviation, or ± 2*S.D., from the value "x"

(where x = aT+b and T represents the true value).

Table 36 reveals that laboratory success rates ranged between 78.6 and 100 percent. Thus,

use of the 75 percent criterion for estimation of the PQL by the graphical method would be

meaningless. The dataset is also incompatible with the goals of a PQL reassessment–particularly

a potential lowering of the PQL–because the concentrations of all the spiked samples exceeded

the current PQL. Also, the concentration of the spike samples was well above the PQL of 4

:g/L.

Conclusion for Diquat

As shown by the results of the method comparison, few methods have been approved by

EPA for the determination of diquat. The analytical technology supporting the determination of

diquat has remained essentially unchanged over time. However, analytical capabilities have

improved. The original method, EPA Method 549, was less sensitive than today's method, EPA

Method 549.2, indicating significant analytical improvements. The plot of method usage over

time reveals that the techniques predominantly used by participating laboratories were EPA

Methods 549 (prior to WS 36) and 549.1 (subsequent to WS 36). Although the method

comparison indicates increased analytical capabilities, the available WS data did not provide

information suitable for a PQL reassessment. The percentage of laboratories passing within the

acceptance window was generally well above the 75 percent criterion for use in the linear

regression approach.

Ethylene Dibromide

Results of the Method Comparison

With the Phase II SOCs (56 FR 3526), EPA 504, was the only approved method listed for

analysis of ethylene dibromide (EDB) in drinking water. Since this regulation was promulgated,

the Agency has approved a new revision of GC with microextraction (EPA Method 504.1) and

approved an additional analytical method (EPA Method 551.1, LLE and GC with ECD). As
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 69 Final - March 2003 

shown in Table 37, the MDLs of EPA Methods 504 and 504.1 are equivalent, but EPA Method

551.1 offers a slightly greater level of sensitivity.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 23 illustrates the distribution of the analytical techniques used by the EPA and State

laboratories in WS studies 34 to 41. The "other" designation includes methods for which

laboratories did not report any information on the method used or non-EPA methods. The use of

EPA Method 504.1 greatly exceeds the use of any other method. This distribution is consistent

through the duration of the WS studies shown in Figure 23.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The current PQL, 0.05 :g/L, was derived from a multiplier of 5 from the MDL of 0.01 :g/L

(56 FR 3552). The data used for PQL re-evaluation were taken from WS studies 24 to 41. Table

38 summarizes the results of the WS studies, providing the study number, the true concentration

of the spiked sample, the number of laboratories participating, and the percentage of laboratories

passing the WS study (evaluated using acceptance limit of ± 40 percent for EDB as cited in 40

CFR § 141.24(h)(19)(i)).

Using the 75 percent criterion, it appears from the numerical data that EPA and regional

laboratories are able to achieve acceptable results within the ± 40 percent acceptance window at

concentrations from 0.14 to 2.3 :g/L.

The percentages of the acceptable results for laboratories were not plotted, as these values all

exceeded the 75 percent criterion and therefore could not contribute meaningful information

toward the re-evaluation of a PQL using the linear regression approach. In addition, none of the

WS studies evaluated had spike concentrations below the current PQL of 0.05 :g/L. However,

WS studies at concentrations slightly above the PQL (WS 37 and 33) had laboratory passing

rates of 81 and 75 percent, respectively. This would indicate that the current PQL is probably

appropriate and unlikely to change.

Conclusion for Ethylene Dibromide

The method comparison results indicate that the sensitivity of the available methods has not

improved significantly since the promulgation of NPDWRs for EDB. Evaluation of more recent

WS data provides no evidence that would support a change from the current PQL of 0.05 :g/L.

Fluoride

Results of the Method Comparison

Fluoride, a Phase II IOC, is unique among SDWA contaminants because it is often added to

drinking water to provide well-known health benefits. Because low concentrations of fluoride

are often added to public water supplies to protect dental health, EPA has not published a

detection limit for this contaminant. Since the Agency's promulgation of the MCL for fluoride

(April 1986, 51 FR 11397), this contaminant has gained several additional approved methods,

mostly developed by voluntary consensus standard organizations. Currently, the only EPAapproved method for fluoride determination is EPA Method 300.0, an ion chromatography

method with greater sensitivity than the EPA methods approved at the time of promulgation. 

Table 39 summarizes original and current methods, and their individual detection limits. The

voluntary consensus standard method MDLs are not listed in this table because non-EPA

methods are not required to document detection limits.

34 to 41 is shown in Figure 24. The results for "other" techniques include the use of other

Fluoride determination has involved the use of a wide variety of analytical methods. In

earlier years, the most popular method was EPA Method 340.2, an ion selective electrode

method, but its usage dropped significantly after WS 35. Since WS 36, method usage by

laboratories participating in the water supply studies has been dominated by a non-EPA manual

electrode method. Laboratories have also increasingly favored the use of EPA Method 300.0,

though to a lesser extent relative to the manual electrode methods (D1179-93B, 4500F-C). A

small fraction of participating laboratories have employed the voluntary consensus standard

method 380-75WE (automated electrode) throughout WS 34 to 41.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The current PQL (500 :g/L or 0.5 mg/L) was originally determined from older PE water

supply study data (WS 8 to 12, see USEPA, "Monitoring for Fluoride in Drinking Water:

Revised," March 1986). The PQL was re-evaluated using a broader range of PE data including

more recent studies (WS 24 to 41). Table 40 summarizes the results of these studies, providing

the study number, the spiked or "true" value for the WS sample, the number of results from EPA
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 75 Final - March 2003 

and State laboratories, and the actual responses returned by laboratories. For fluoride, EPA

stipulates acceptance limits of ± 10 percent (§141.23(k)(3)(ii)).

The WS data indicate that EPA and State laboratories performed with high success rates in

WS studies involving fluoride determination. On average, 91 percent of participating

laboratories achieved results within the ± 10 percent acceptance window. The range of true

value concentrations contained many spikes above the current PQL (0.5 mg/L), preventing a

thorough analysis of laboratory capabilities at or below the PQL. For WS 29, the only study

where the true value was below the PQL, 85 percent of laboratories successfully passed within

the specified acceptance limits, well above the 75 percent criterion. Thus, it might be possible
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 76 Final - March 2003 

for laboratories to pass the PE studies at even lower concentrations; however, such a conclusion

is uncertain in the absence of additional data below the PQL value.

Conclusion for Fluoride

The MDL of the only currently approved EPA method, EPA Method 300.0, is much lower

than those of previous EPA methods and use of this method has increased gradually over time. 

However, EPA Method 300.0 still accounts for less than a quarter of method usage for fluoride

and thus cannot be representative of overall laboratory analytical capabilities. Based on the

graph of method usage over time (Figure 24), the method most commonly used in recent years is

a manual electrode method, whose detection limit is not specified. Hence, the combined results

of the method comparison and method usage over time suggest that analytical capabilities have

improved for only a subset of EPA and State laboratories.

Based on the evaluation of quantitative WS data, the current PQL of 0.5 mg/L is still

supportable and appropriate, although an even lower value might be attainable based on the high

success rates of laboratories in water studies. However, this hypothesis would require further

analysis using WS data at spiked concentrations below 0.5 mg/L, and such data are currently not

available.

Glyphosate

Results of the Method Comparison

In 1992, the Agency listed EPA 547 as the only approved method for determination of

glyphosate in drinking water, according to the Phase V rule for SOCs (57 FR 31776). Since that

time, EPA has added Standard Method (SM) 6651, a voluntary consensus standard method, to

the approved list. The MDL of SM 6651 is not specified, but it is reasonable to expect a similar

detection limit compared to EPA Method 547 due to the similarity in determinative technique. 

Because the MDL of EPA Method 547 has not changed over time and no additional EPA

methods were approved, the analytical capabilities for determination of glyphosate have

remained constant since the approval of EPA Method 547.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

Glyphosate currently has a PQL of 0.06 mg/L (or 60 :g/L) which was derived from previous

WS results from EPA and State laboratories (WS 24 to 27, 56 FR 60949). In light of the

availability of more recent PE WS data from WS studies 32 to 41, efforts were made to reassess

the PQL. Table 42 summarizes the data from these water studies, indicating the study number,

the true value of the WS sample, the number of results from laboratories, and the calculated

percentage of laboratories whose results successfully passed within the designated acceptance

limits for glyphosate (± 2*S.D. as specified at 141.24(h)(19)(i).

Table 42 shows that the laboratories in these water studies were able to achieve results within

the acceptance window with 73 to100 percent passing rates. Using the 75 percent criterion for

estimation of the PQL will not be meaningful for this dataset because of the high success rate

and the lack of spike values at concentrations around the current PQL of 60 :g/L.

Conclusion for Glyphosate

Currently, EPA Method 547 is the sole approved EPA method for determination of

glyphosate and its MDL has not changed over time (Table 41). A voluntary consensus standard

method (SM 6651) with similar determinative technology is also approved for use, but was used

minimally over the duration of the selected studies according to PE records (Figure 25). The

MDL of SM 6651 is not specified but in all likelihood, resembles the MDL of EPA Method 547. 

Therefore, the analytical methods capabilities for glyphosate determination have stayed constant

for most laboratories. The available numerical WS data do not support a reassessment of the

PQL based on the 75 percent criterion, because the passing rates of laboratories typically

exceeded this value. In addition, the spike concentration of the WS samples were much higher

than the current PQL.

Heptachlor

Results of the Method Comparison

The approved methods for the analysis of heptachlor, a Phase II SOC, in drinking water were

listed in the NPDWRs (56 FR 3526). These original methods included gas chromatography with

several extraction and/or detector variations (EPA Methods 505, 508, and 525.1). Since

promulgation of the Phase II rule, EPA has removed one method (EPA Method 525.1) and

approved the use of three new analytical methods (EPA Methods 508.1, 525.2, and 551.1). EPA
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 80 Final - March 2003 

Method 508.1 is nearly seven times more sensitive than it was at the time of NPDWR

promulgation, and represents the most sensitive of the new methods, with a current MDL of

approximately 0.0015 :g/L. The MDLs of the newly approved methods, EPA Methods 508.1,

525.2, and 551.1, range from 0.5 to 15 times the MDLs of the most sensitive method at the time

of the NPDWR promulgation.

The original PQL for heptachlor (0.4 :g/L) was derived via multiplication of the IMDL by a

factor of 10 (56 FR 3552). With the availability of recent PE WS data, efforts were made to

reassess the PQL using data from WS studies 24 to 41. Table 44 summarizes the data from these

WS studies, indicating the study number, the true value of the WS sample, the number of results

from EPA and State laboratories, and the calculated percentage of laboratories whose results

successfully passed within federally designated acceptance limits for heptachlor. These

acceptance limits are specified in 40 CFR §141.24(h)(19)(i) to be ± 45 percent from the true

concentration of the spike sample.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 82 Final - March 2003 

The numerical data in Table 44 demonstrate that the laboratories in these WS studies are able

to achieve results within the ± 45 percent acceptance window with 82 to 100 percent passing

rates. Using the 75 percent criterion for estimation of the PQL, the dataset are not adequate to

re-evaluate the PQL. Further, the majority of the spike samples had concentrations in excess of

the current PQL of 0.4 :g/L. Nevertheless, the high passing rates of laboratories at

concentrations around the PQL (e.g., 100 percent passing for a true value equal to 0.11 :g/L)

support a possible reconsideration of the current PQL.

Conclusion for Heptachlor

The plot of the method usage over time (from WS studies) indicates consistent use of two

methods, EPA Methods 508 and 505 over the duration of the selected studies, with laboratories

slightly favoring usage of EPA Method 508. EPA Method 508 represents the most sensitive

currently approved method, according to Table 43. The overall level of analytical sensitivity for

this contaminant has improved approximately seven-fold from the time of NPDWR

promulgation. The available numerical WS data do not support a reassessment of the PQL based

on the 75 percent criterion, because the passing rates of laboratories always exceeded this value. 

Because such high passing rates were observed for some low spiked concentrations (e.g., 100

percent laboratory success for a concentration three times lower than the current PQL), it is

possible that a lowered PQL might be appropriate. However, the desired quantitative

reassessment of the PQL could not be performed using the historical approach.

Heptachlor Epoxide

Results of the Method Comparison

The approved methods designated in the Phase II rule for heptachlor epoxide (56 FR 3526)

included EPA Methods 505, 508, and 525.1. These methods are variations of GC methods with

different extraction and/or detection techniques as shown in Table 45. The most sensitive of the

currently approved methods is EPA Method 508.1 (GC with ECD), with an MDL of 0.001 :g/L. 

This method was introduced subsequent to the promulgation of the Phase II rule, along with two

additional methods, EPA Methods 525.2 and 551.1.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 27 illustrates the distribution of the analytical techniques used by the EPA and State

laboratories in WS 34 to 41. Analytical methods which were not reported by laboratories or

were otherwise unknown were grouped into the category of "other." As illustrated by Figure 27,

EPA Method 508 represents the most commonly used method for heptachlor epoxide WS

analyses. EPA Methods 505 and 525.2 were used to a lesser degree; together, these methods

account for 40 to 50 percent of the techniques used during the indicated time frame.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The PQL for heptachlor epoxide is currently 0.2 :g/L. EPA obtained this value by

multiplying the estimated IMDL by a factor of 10 (56 FR 3552). The Agency wished to reevaluate the PQL using available WS data from WS studies 24 to 41 (although no data were

available for WS 28). Table 46 summarizes these data, indicating the study number, the true

value of the sample, the number of non-zero responses from laboratories, and the calculated

passing rates of laboratories who satisfied the specified acceptance limits for heptachlor epoxide. 

These limits are designated as ± 45 percent (40 CFR §141.24(h)(19)(i)).

The values in the last column of Table 46 demonstrate that the laboratories participating in

these WS studies achieved a very high rate of success with respect to the designated acceptance

limits. While the 75 percent criterion has historically been used to evaluate PQLs, such an

analysis would be impossible for heptachlor epoxide because none of the laboratories exhibited

success rates below this threshold. Thus, a regression of the WS results was not performed, as

the data did not appear to contribute meaningfully to recalculate the PQL. In addition, the

concentrations of the spike samples generally exceeded the concentration of interest, the PQL

(0.2 :g/L).
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 87 Final - March 2003 

Conclusion for Heptachlor Epoxide

According to the method comparison results, the introduction of three new analytical

methods since the promulgation of the Phase II rule has not presented any significant

improvements in overall method sensitivity. The most sensitive method (EPA Method 508) at

the time of NPDWR promulgation is no longer the most sensitive method today, due to its MDL

change, as evident in Table 45. Based on the analysis of method usage over time, EPA Method

508 is more widely used than the current most sensitive method, EPA Method 508.1. In light of

the usage patterns for heptachlor epoxide, analytical method capabilities for the overall

contaminant are probably similar to those of the original methods. Although the WS data did not

provide enough information to perform a regression analysis, the passing rates at concentrations

around the current PQL of 0.2 :g/L suggest that the PQL could be lower.

Hexachlorobenzene

Results of the Method Comparison

Hexachlorobenzene, a Phase V SOC, had three approved methods for drinking water analysis

at the time NPDWRs were promulgated (57 FR 31776). All three original methods consisted of

GC with extraction and/or detector variations (EPA Method 505, microextraction; 508, ECD;

and 525.1, LSE). Since the Phase V rule was promulgated, the Agency has retained two of the

old methods, removed EPA Method 525.1, and approved three additional analytical methods,

EPA Methods 508.1, 525.2, and 551.1 (LSE, ECD; LSE; and LLE, ECD, respectively). As

shown in Table 47, the most sensitive method of both the old and new categories is EPA Method

508.1, with an MDL of 0.001 :g/L.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of the analytical techniques used by EPA and State laboratories in PE WS

studies 34 to 41 is illustrated by Figure 28. Methods designated as "other" include methods for

which laboratories did not specify the method used or were otherwise unknown. As shown by

Figure 28, laboratories responding to these PE WS studies mainly determined

hexachlorobenzene using EPA Method 508, with the exception of one study (WS 39) where use

of EPA Method 525.2 was more prevalent. Use of EPA Method 525.2 began to appear in WS 36

and has increased slightly in recent years. The analytical methods used most recently (i.e., WS

41) for determination of hexachlorobenzene are divided between the several available current

methods. Use of EPA Method 508.1 was quite small relative to the other methods used.

b. Results of the PQL analysis

The original PQL of hexachlorobenzene (1 :g/L, 56 FR 3552) was determined using PE data

from WS 27. The data used for the re-evaluation of the PQL were taken from WS 27 through

41. The results of these WS studies are summarized in Table 48, which provides the study

number, the spiked value for the WS sample, the number of results from EPA and State

laboratories, and the results evaluated using acceptance limits of ± 2 x S.D (as specified at

141.24(h)(19)(i)).

It appears from the numerical data that EPA Regional and State laboratories are able to

achieve successful results within the ± 2 x S.D. acceptance limits at rates well above the 75

percent criterion typically used for determining a PQL. Thus, a regression analysis using the

available PE data was not attempted due to the nature of these data. On average, the success

rates of the WS laboratories were about 92 percent over spike concentrations ranging from 0.4 to

3.6 :g/L. The high passing rates at concentrations around the PQL of 1 :g/L suggest that the

PQL could be lower.

Conclusion for Hexachlorobenzene

Together, the results from the method comparison and the method usage over time show that

the one of the most sensitive methods, EPA Method 508, has been consistently used since the

promulgation of the NPDWRs and is one of the more frequently used methods for determination

of hexachlorobenzene. Thus, the MDL for the overall contaminant appears to be unchanged

since the original methods were promulgated. Other less sensitive methods that are also

currently in use include EPA Methods 505 and 525.2. Examination of the quantitative PE WS

data reveal that the percentage of laboratories successfully passing the proficiency exams is too

high to provide insight toward a re-evaluated PQL. However, the high laboratory passing rates

at concentrations around the current PQL are suggestive of a change in the PQL.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 91 Final - March 2003 

Hexachlorocyclopentadiene

Results of the Method Comparison

With the promulgation of the NPDWRs for Phase V SOCs, the approved methodology for

determination of hexachlorocyclopentadiene included two EPA gas chromatography methods,

EPA Methods 505 and 525.1. Since that time, EPA Method 525.1 was discontinued and four

new methods were added (EPA Methods 525.2, 508.1, 551.1, and 508). As indicated in Table

49, the MDLs for the newer methods (EPA Methods 508.1 and 551.1) are lower than the MDLs

of both original methods, while the MDLs of EPA Methods 505 and 525.2 are comparable to the

MDL of the original EPA Method 505.

Hexachlorocyclopentadiene

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 29 illustrates the distribution of the analytical techniques used by EPA and State

laboratories in WS studies 34 to 41. The results for "other" techniques in this figure include the

use of any other technique identified by the laboratories participating in the WS study, as well as

methods for which laboratories did not report any information on the type of method used. The

distribution of methods used by EPA and State laboratories has been fairly well-mixed. During

WS 34 and 35, EPA Method 505 was the predominant choice for determination of

hexachlorocyclopentadiene. From WS 36 to 41, however, use of EPA Methods 508 and 525.2

began to eclipse that of EPA Method 505. The remaining methods were used minimally

throughout WS 34 to 41.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The current PQL of 1.0 :g/L was originally set from PE data from WS 23 through 27 (57 FR

31801). The PQL re-evaluation used data from WS 24 to 41. Table 50 summarizes the results of

these studies, providing the study number, the spiked value for the WS sample, the number of

results from EPA Regional and State laboratories, and the passing rates of these laboratories

As shown in Table 50, laboratories exhibited passing rates over 75 percent in all WS studies

with the exception of one (WS 25b). Because the passing rates for laboratories determining

hexachloropentadiene were well above 75 percent, a re-evaluation of the PQL was not feasible. 

However, the demonstrated success of laboratories at concentrations well below the existing

PQL of 1 :g/L (e.g., WS 27, 29 and 32) suggests that a lower PQL may be possible.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 94 Final - March 2003 

Conclusion for Hexachlorocyclopentadiene

The method comparison results indicate that method sensitivities have either remained

similar or improved slightly (e.g., for EPA Methods 508.1 and 551.1). A review of method

usage over time shows that EPA Methods 505, 525.2, and 508 were the most commonly used

methods in recent WS studies. Because the more sensitive methods were not used with great

frequency, it would appear that method capabilities for hexachlorocyclopentadiene have

remained more or less unchanged over time. Although it was not possible to recalculate the

PQL, high laboratory passing rates at concentrations below the current PQL suggest that a lower

PQL may be feasible.

Mercury

Results of the Method Comparison

The analytical methods approved for the determination of mercury under the NPDWRs for

Phase II IOCs include EPA Methods 245.1 and 245.2 (56 FR 3526). Since the time of

promulgation, EPA Method 200.8 has been approved. The currently approved methods for

mercury determination include EPA Methods 200.8, 245.1, and 245.2. Table 51 summarizes the

MDLs for both the original and current approved versions of the methods. As shown in Table

51, the MDLs for current methods are equal in sensitivity to past methods.

Figure 30. Distribution of Analytical Techniques by WS Study: Mercury

As shown in Figure 30, EPA Method 245.1 (automated cold vapor) was the most widely used

method in WS 34 and 35. From WS 36 to WS 41, EPA Methods 245.1 (manual cold vapor) and

245.2 were most commonly used.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The current PQL of 0.5 :g/L was originally set using previous PE data (56 FR 3549). With

the availability of more current data from WS 24 to 41, a PQL re-evaluation was attempted. 

Table 52 summarizes the results of these water studies, providing the study number, the spiked

value for the WS sample, the number of results from EPA and State laboratories, and the

mercury results evaluated using an acceptance limit of ± 30 percent, as designated in 40 CFR §

141.23(k)(3)(ii).

The data from the available WS studies were not conducive to recalculation of the PQL

because the percentage of labs passing (with the exception of one study) generally exceeded the

standard 75 percent passing criterion needed to evaluate the PQL using the either a linear

regression or graphical approach. In addition, the majority of the true values were above the

original PQL of 0.5 :g/L. However, at values slightly above the current PQL (e.g., WS 29 and

25a) the passing rates of 87 and 70 percent would indicate that the current PQL is most likely in

the appropriate range.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 98 Final - March 2003 

Conclusion for Mercury

Since the promulgation of the NPDWR for mercury, EPA Method 200.8 has been added to

the original two analytical methods approved for the measurement of mercury in drinking water

(EPA Methods 245.1 and 245.2). According to the distribution of analytical methods usage over

time, EPA Method 245.1 was more widely used than EPA Method 245.2 during WS 34 to 35. 

From WS 36 to 41, these two methods were utilized with approximately the same frequency. 

Upon review of the WS data, a high percentage of laboratories successfully passing the WS

studies prevented a recalculation of the PQL at the 75 percent passing rate. Thus, the available

PE data provided little evidence for a lower PQL using this approach. Observation of laboratory

passing rates at concentrations slightly above the current PQL of 0.5 :g/L suggests that this PQL

is still in all likelihood appropriate.

Methoxychlor

Results of the Method Comparison

At the promulgation of the NPDWRs for methoxychlor, three methods were approved for the

determination of this compound: EPA Methods 505, 508, and 525.1 (56 FR 3552). Since that

time, use of EPA Method 525.1 has been discontinued and additional methods have been

approved, including EPA Methods 508.1, 525.2, and 551.1. All approved methods utilize GC in

various forms. As shown in Table 53, the MDL of EPA Method 505 has remained unchanged

over time, whereas the MDL of EPA Method 508 has improved in sensitivity. The MDLs of the

newer methods (in bold) range from 0.003 to 0.13 :g/L. The most sensitive method currently

available (EPA Method 508.1) has about 125 times the sensitivity of the original EPA Method

505.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of methods used by EPA and State laboratories participating in WS 34 to 41

is depicted in Figure 31. The category of "other" includes any unidentified techniques used by

participating laboratories. As Figure 31 shows, EPA Method 508 was used most widely by

participating laboratories during WS 34 to 41. As EPA Method 525.1 was phased out in WS 36,

use of newer methods, EPA Methods 525.2 and 508.1, began. EPA Method 505 and other

unidentified methods were used intermittently throughout WS 34 to 41.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The PQL for methoxychlor was originally proposed at 0.001 mg/L, but was finalized in 1991

at 0.01 mg/L (or 10 :g/L). The method for deriving this value was multiplication of the

detection limit by a factor of ten (56 FR 3551). Recently, with the availability of more recent

laboratory performance data from WS 24 to 41, a reassessment of the existing PQL was

conducted. Table 54 summarizes each WS result including the spiked (or "true") concentration

in the test sample, the number of participating laboratories, and the calculated percentage of

laboratories successfully passing within the specified ± 45 percent acceptance limit for

methoxychlor (141.24(h)(19)(i)).

Table 54 reveals that the percentage of passing laboratories was well above the 75 percent

criterion, and thus, the PQL could not be re-evaluated using the regression technique. Table 53

also shows that even at very low concentrations (e.g., one-fifth of the existing PQL), a large

percentage of EPA and State laboratories was able to pass the WS study, suggesting that a lower

PQL may be feasible.

Conclusion for Methoxychlor

EPA Methods 505, 508, and 525.1 were originally approved for the determination of

methoxychlor with the promulgation of the NPDWRs for Phase II SOCs in 1991. Since then,

EPA Method 525.1 has been removed while EPA Methods 508.1, 525.2, and 551.1 have been

added to the approved list. A review of the method usage over time shows that laboratories

participating in WS 34 to 41 utilized EPA Method 508 more frequently than all other approved

methods, although this margin of difference began to decrease in more recent WS studies. A

revised PQL for methoxychlor could not be determined due to the large percentage of

laboratories surpassing the 75 percent criterion. However, the data do reveal a possible basis for

lowering the PQL based on the high success rates of laboratories at concentrations well below

the current PQL.

Oxamyl

Results of the Method Comparison

Oxamyl is one of several SOCs first regulated under the Phase V Rule (57 FR 31776). 

Under this rule, EPA Method 531.1 (a HPLC method) was approved for determination of

oxamyl. More recently, the Agency has approved an additional analytical method, Standard

Method (SM) 6610 (HPLC followed by post-column reaction and fluorescence detection), while

retaining the use of EPA Method 531.1. The MDL for SM 6610 is not specified, as methods

published by organizations outside the Agency are not required to calculate an MDL. The MDL

for EPA Method 531.1 has not changed since the 1988 Phase V Rule promulgation, signifying

no change in analytical sensitivity for this contaminant.

Figure 32. Distribution of Analytical Techniques by WS Study: Oxamyl

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of the methods used by EPA Regional and State laboratories in WS studies

34 to 41 is shown in Figure 32. The results for "other" techniques in this figure include methods

for which laboratories did not report any information on the type of method used or reported

codes that could not be identified. As shown in Figure 32, EPA Method 531.1 was the most

widely used analytical method for determination of oxamyl during WS 34 to 41. By contrast, the

more recently approved SM 6610 was only used minimally during WS 40.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The current PQL of 20 :g/L was originally determined using a ten times MDL multiplier (56

FR 30370). In re-evaluating the PQL, a broader range of PE data from WS 24 to 41 were

analyzed. Table 56 summarizes the results of these water studies, providing the study number,

the spiked (or "true") value for the WS sample, the number of results from EPA and State

laboratories, and the percentage of laboratories that successfully passed the test using an

acceptance limit of + 2*S.D. (specified at 141.24(h)(19)(i)).

The WS data for the EPA Regional and State laboratories shown in Table 56 were also used

to develop a linear regression. The spiked value concentration is the independent variable (x)

and the percentage of laboratories achieving acceptable results (within the acceptance window)

is the dependent variable (y). For the equation y = mx + b, m stands for the slope of the

regression line (change in the percentage of laboratories passing as spiked concentration

increases) and b stands for the y-intercept.

The use of regression techniques assumes that the data from the various WS studies form a

single continuous data set. In reality, the study results do not form a continuous data set, but

represent results from samples spiked at specific discrete concentrations of oxamyl and analyzed
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 105 Final - March 2003 

a few at a time over an extended period. However, through the use of a linear regression, the

data can be used to create a model (the regression line) that may be useful in predicting accuracy

and precision as a function of the concentration of the samples. The regression determines the

linear relationship that best fits the observed results, in effect smoothing the curve and ensuring

that there is a unique concentration that corresponds to any percentage of acceptable

laboratories.

Calculating the regression equations also provides the correlation coefficient (r) for the

regression, which is a measure of the degree to which the actual data fit the linear model

represented by the regression line. An r value of one would indicate a perfect fit with a positive

slope of the data to the model. A value, p, can also be calculated for the regression that indicates

the probability of concluding the null hypothesis (in this case that the spiked value concentration

is linearly correlated with the percentage of labs achieving acceptable results) is false, when in

fact the null hypothesis is true, for the given data set. In statistical terms, p indicates the

probability of a Type I error. The results for the regression equation are summarized in Table

57.

Table 57. Regression Results for Oxamyl

m 0.0125

b 0.223

r 0.819

p 0.005

The r value of 0.82 indicates that the data fit the linear model fairly well. The p value of

0.005 indicates that the spiked value and the percentage acceptable are linearly correlated with

more than 99 percent confidence. Figure 33 shows the graphical results of the regression. The

observed data were plotted against the WS spiked value concentration and the results predicted

from the linear regression line were superimposed. The observed success rate for the EPA and

State laboratories is noticeably lower than the predicted success rate in the region below 20

:g/L. While attempts might be made to model the observed results using a second order (nonlinear) regression, the Agency does not believe that there is a scientifically valid reason to do so.

Figure 33. Two-part Distribution of Oxamyl WS Data

The oxamyl PE data illustrate the expected outcome from PE testing: a lower percentage of

labs passing at the lowest true values, with an increasing percentage of labs passing as true

values increase, due to increasing lab analytical capabilities at higher concentrations. As true

values increase further, the percentage of labs passing approaches a stable plateau beyond which

lab analytical capabilities do not improve. This results in a two-part distribution: the lower true

values (<30 :g/L) are characterized by a line of steeper slope, while higher true values (>30

:g/L), are characterized by a line that is nearly flat (see Figure 34). Using this graph to visually

estimate a re-evaluated PQL, the original choice of 20 :g/L appears to be appropriate. Figure 34

also shows that the percentage of laboratories achieving acceptable results reaches 75 percent at

a concentration of 39.5 :g/L which, by the graphical method, indicates the value of the reevaluated PQL (RPQL). This concentration is higher than the existing PQL of 20 :g/L.

Figure 34. PQL Evaluation of PE WS Data: Oxamyl

Conclusion for Oxamyl

Although a new method for the determination of oxamyl was introduced (SM 6610), this

method was rarely used, as seen in the graph of method usage over time (Figure 32). Analytical

method capabilities have increased in sensitivity for EPA Method 531.1 overtime. Based on the

PQL reassessment, it is apparent that laboratory success follows a linear relationship with true

value concentration to a point, after which the success rate plateaus. Using the standard linear

regression approach, the new RPQL was determined to be 39.5 :g/L, which may be linked to

higher spiked concentrations exhibited in more recent PE WS data. However, if the data are not

plotted on a single line but rather in the two-part manner of Figure 34, the RPQL would most

likely resemble the existing value of 20 :g/L. It is likely that the PQL may lie somewhere

between 20 and 40 :g/L.

PCBs

Results of the Method Comparison

For the NPDWRs, all polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were collectively grouped and

identified by the particular aroclor decachlorobiphenyl (DCBP). In 1991, EPA approved EPA

Method 508A for determination of DCBP, a Phase II SOC (56 FR 3526), in drinking water. This
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 108 Final - March 2003 

analytical method utilizes gas chromatography with perchlorination. Since promulgation of the

Phase II rule, EPA has not changed the status of EPA Method 508A and its MDL remains at 0.08

:g/L (Table 58).

a. Method Usage Over Time

Because only one method, EPA Method 508A, was approved for determination of PCBs (as

DCBP) over the duration of WS 34 to 41, its usage was not plotted.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The original PQL for PCBs was proposed at five times the MDL of 0.08 :g/L. For the final

rule, EPA compared this value with multilaboratory performance data from WS studies 22 to 24,

and found the PE data to support the proposed value, 0.5 :g/L (56 FR 3552). For the six-year

regulatory review, new efforts have been made to reassess the PQL using more recent PE WS

data from WS 31 to 41. These data are summarized in Table 59, which indicates the study

number, the true value of the WS sample, the number of results returned by EPA and State

laboratories, and the calculated percentage of laboratories whose results successfully passed

within designated acceptance limits for PCBs (±100 percent, as specified at 40 CFR

§141.24(h)(19)(i)).

A PQL is historically derived from a concentration at which 75 percent of the participating

laboratories pass, or report concentrations that fall within the specified acceptance limits. 

However, the data in Table 59 indicate that laboratories exceeded the required 75 percent

criterion in almost all studies (with the exception of WS 31). Because of the high laboratory

passing rates and a lack of sufficient spike concentrations below 0.5 :g/L, the PQL for PCBs

could not be re-evaluated graphically with these data. However, the two of the three lowest

spike concentrations close to the current PQL, WS 31 (0.445 :g/L) and WS 35 (0.596 :g/L), had

passing rates of 69 and 80 percent, respectively. These passing rates suggest that the current

PQL of 0.5 :g/L is unlikely to change.

Conclusion for PCBs

Since the promulgation of the NPDWR for PCBs, EPA Method 508A has been the only

method approved for PCB determination. As the current PQL was derived from the MDL

multiplier method rather than multi-laboratory performance data, a PQL re-evaluation was

attempted using current PE data from WS 31 to 41. The high percentage of laboratories passing

the PE testing within the designated acceptance limits and the relatively high spike

concentrations prevented a conclusive re-evaluation of the PQL using the historical approach. 

However, spike concentrations close to the current PQL had laboratory passing rates close to 75

percent. This suggests that the current PQL is appropriate and unlikely to change.

Pentachlorophenol

Results of the Method Comparison

With the promulgation of NPDWRs for Phase II SOCs, two methods were approved for the

determination of pentachlorophenol in drinking water: EPA Methods 515.1 and 525.1 (56 FR

3526). Since promulgation of this rule, EPA removed EPA Method 525.1 and approved the use

of five new or updated methods: EPA Methods 515.2, 515.3, 555, 525.2, and ASTM Method

D5317-93 (GC with ECD), a voluntary consensus method. The MDLs of these methods are

Figure 35. Distribution of Analytical Techniques by WS Study: Pentachlorophenol

As shown in Table 60, most of the current EPA methods for pentachlorophenol do not

display a significant increase in analytical sensitivities as compared to the methods approved at

the time of the Phase II rule promulgation. The exception is EPA Method 515.1, which has

approximately twice the sensitivity of the prior version of the same method approved at the time

of promulgation.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of analytical methods used by the EPA and State laboratories in WS 34 to 41

is plotted in Figure 35. The "other" techniques represent methods which were not specifically

identified by participating laboratories or were otherwise unknown. As shown in Figure 35,

despite the addition of several new analytical methods, the majority of laboratories still favored

the use of EPA Method 515.1 for determination of pentachlorophenol during WS 34 to 41. The

more recently approved EPA Methods 515.2 and 555 were used much less frequently, by

comparison. EPA Method 525.2 was only used intermittently during the study period.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 112 Final - March 2003 

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

EPA determined the current PQL of 1 :g/L (0.001 mg/L) for pentachlorophenol using earlier

water supply data (WS 22 to 25, 56 FR 3552). A re-evaluation of the PQL was attempted using

more recent PE data from WS 24 to 41. Table 61 summarizes the data from these WS studies

(with the exception of WS 25, 27, and 30), indicating the study number, the true value of the WS

sample, the number of results from EPA and State laboratories, and the percentage of

laboratories whose results successfully passed the acceptance limits of ± 50 percent for

pentachlorophenol (40 CFR §141.24(h)(19)(i)).

Examination of the data show that with the exception of three WS studies (WS 29, 35 and

34), the laboratory passing rates exceeded the 75 percent criterion and only one WS study had a

spike concentration below the current PQL of 1 :g/L. Because many of the laboratories

achieved high success rates during PE testing for pentachlorophenol, the resulting regression

line, shown in Figure 36, failed to intersect the 75 percent line that would have indicated the new

estimated PQL. Furthermore, there were very few water studies with spiked samples below the

current PQL. Thus, a new PQL could not be derived using this procedure.

Conclusion for Pentachlorophenol

The plot of the method usage over time for WS 34 to 41 indicates laboratories consistently

used EPA Method 515.1 more frequently than other methods. The detection limit for EPA 515.1

has not changed over time, as shown by the results of the method comparison (Table 60). The

available WS data did not provide a basis for lowering the PQL for two reasons: the passing

rates of laboratories were generally greater than the 75 percent criterion for PQL estimation and

the true value concentrations typically exceeded the current PQL.

Picloram

Results of the Method Comparison

Picloram became a regulated SDWA contaminant in 1992 with the promulgation of

NPDWRs for Phase V SOCs (57 FR 31776). At that time, the sole method approved for

determination of picloram in drinking water was EPA Method 515.1. Since promulgation of the

Phase V rule, EPA has added two methods to the approved list: EPA Methods 515.2 and 555.

Figure 37. Distribution of Analytical Techniques by WS Study: Picloram

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of analytical methods used during each water study from WS 34 to 41 were

plotted (Figure 37). The "other" techniques represent methods which were not specifically

identified by participating laboratories or were otherwise unknown. As shown in Figure 37,

during WS 34 to 36, the majority of laboratories used EPA Method 515.1 for determination of

picloram. Use of EPA Method 515.2 gradually increased over this period but was still greatly

outweighed by use of EPA Method 515.1. Laboratories employed EPA Method 555 only

minimally.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The original PQL for picloram of 1.0 :g/L was derived by multiplying the detection limit

(DL) by a factor of 10 (57 FR 31776). With the availability of more recent PE data, a

reassessment of the PQL was attempted. Table 63 summarizes the data from WS 24 to 41 (with

the exception of WS 25, 27, and 29, which lacked data), indicating the study number, the true

value of the WS sample, the number of results from EPA and State laboratories, and the

percentage of laboratories whose results successfully passed within the acceptance limits for
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 116 Final - March 2003 

picloram. These limits (± 2*S.D.) are not fixed but essentially represent a function of the true

value (40 CFR §141.24(h)(19)(i)).

39 74.9 37 100

As shown by Table 63, participating EPA and State laboratories in every water study but one

(WS 26b) achieved a passing rate above the 75 percent criterion for determination of the PQL. 

Therefore, estimation of the PQL is likely to not be meaningful for this dataset. In addition, the

entire range of true values for this contaminant exceeded the current PQL, some by nearly two

orders of magnitude, preventing any assertions on the appropriateness of a lower PQL.

Conclusion for Picloram

The available WS data do not support a reassessment of the PQL based on the 75 percent

criterion because the passing rates of laboratories almost always exceeded this value. Therefore,
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 117 Final - March 2003 

a quantitative reassessment of the PQL could not be performed using the graphical approach. 

The current PQL of 1 :g/L appears to still be appropriate.

Tetrachloroethylene

Results of the Method Comparison

The final January 1991 NPDWR for Phase II VOCs (56 FR 3526) approved several

analytical methods for tetrachloroethylene. These included EPA Methods 502.1, 502.2, 503.1,

524.1, and 524.2. Since this regulation was promulgated, the Agency retained EPA Methods

502.2 and 524.2 for determination of tetrachloroethylene and introduced a new GC variation,

EPA Method 551.1. Table 64 summarizes the MDLs for both the original and currently

approved versions of the methods. As shown in Table 64, EPA Methods 502.2 and 551.1 have

greater detection sensitivity than EPA Method 524.2.

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of the different methods used by EPA and State laboratories during WS

studies 34 to 41 are shown in Figure 38. The category of "other" contains those methods that

were unknown or unidentified by the participating laboratories. During WS 34 to 41, EPA

Method 524.2 was the favored method for determining tetrachloroethylene among participating

laboratories. Use of EPA Method 524.2 generally increased slightly over time while usage of

EPA Method 502.2 declined. No use of EPA Method 551.1 was observed during these studies.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The Agency set the original PQL at 5 :g/L (52 FR 25700 and 56 FR 3526) for all VOCs

except vinyl chloride. More recent data from WS 27 through 41 were used to re-evaluate the

PQL for tetrachloroethylene. Table 65 summarizes the results of these WS studies providing the

study number, the spiked value for the WS sample, the number of laboratory results reported,

and the percent of laboratories passing the WS proficiency test for tetrachloroethylene within the

acceptance limits of ± 20 percent for a true value greater than10 :g/L, or ± 40 percent for a true

value less than 10 :g/L (specified at 141.24(f)(17)(i)).

36 18.5 61 91.8

The data for tetrachloroethylene could not be used to re-evaluate the PQL because State and

EPA laboratories, on average, passed the performance evaluation at a rate over 90 percent. 

Thus, laboratories surpassed the standard 75 percent acceptance criterion typically used to

determine the PQL. In addition, the true value concentrations observed in the available WS data

were all greater than the current PQL of 5 :g/L. At concentrations close to the current PQL

(7.43, 7.60 and 7.76 :g/L), the passing rates were 100, 98 and 100 percent, respectively. This

data suggest that the current PQL of 5 :g/L could be lower.

Conclusion for Tetrachloroethylene

The method comparison results show that since the promulgation of analytical methods for

tetrachloroethylene under the NPDWR, one method was retained (EPA Method 524.2) and two

methods were added (EPA Methods 502.2 and 551.1). The most commonly used method in

recent WS studies has been EPA Method 524.2, which is also the least sensitive method of the

past and present methods. The MDL and method usage information together imply that

observable analytical sensitivities for this contaminant have not improved since the promulgation

of the Phase I rule. This conclusion is further supported by the observation that EPA 551.1, the

most sensitive of the three currently approved methods, appears from the WS data to not be

employed by EPA or State laboratories. Evaluation of the quantitative PE data showed that the
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 121 Final - March 2003 

majority of the laboratories conducting WS analyses had surpassed the 75 percent criterion. The

high percentage of laboratories passing and high true value concentrations apparent in the WS

data prevented a re-evaluation of the PQL using the graphical approach. However, the high

laboratory passing rates at concentrations slightly above the current PQL may suggest that the

PQL could be lower.

Thallium

Results of the Method Comparison

With the Phase V IOCs (57 FR 31776), furnace atomic absorption (AAF; EPA Method

279.2), inductively coupled plasma (ICP)/MS (EPA Method 200.8), and platform AA

spectrometry (EPA Method 200.9) were the approved methods listed for analysis of thallium in

drinking water. Since this regulation was promulgated, the only change in approved analytical

methods made by the Agency was the removal of EPA 279.2 from the list of approved analytical

methods. MDLs for EPA Methods 200.8 and 200.9 have not changed, as indicated in Table 66. 

This table also shows that the discontinued EPA Method 279.2 was less sensitive than EPA

Methods 200.8 and 200.9, meaning that the collective methods approved since promulgation are,

on average, more sensitive than the methods approved at the time of promulgation. EPA Method

200.8 is approximately twice as sensitive than the other currently approved method, EPA

Method 200.9.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 39 shows the variety of analytical techniques used by EPA and State laboratories in

WS studies 34 to 41. The results for "other" techniques in this figure include the use of any

other technique identified by the laboratories participating in the WS study, as well as

"unknown" methods, i.e., techniques for which laboratories did not report the type of method

used. In recent years, method usage by laboratories participating in the water studies has been

dominated by EPA Method 200.9 (AAP) which is actually less sensitive than the other approved

method, EPA Method 200.8 (ICP/MS).

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The current PQL (2 :g/L) was originally set using PE data from WS 24 through 27. For the

PQL re-evaluation, data were taken from WS 24 to 41 (57 FR 31801). Table 67 summarizes the

results of these water studies, providing the study number, the spiked value for the WS sample,

the number of results from EPA and State laboratories, and the results evaluated using

acceptance limits of ± 30 percent (specified at 141.23(k)(3)(ii)).

Using the 75 percent criterion, EPA and regional laboratories were able to achieve acceptable

results within the ± 30 percent acceptance window over the entire range of tested concentrations,

i.e., 1.44 to 36 :g/L. Upon examination of the data, the current PQL of 2 :g/L appears to be

easily supportable, as over 75 percent of laboratories successfully passed within the acceptance

limits when tested at those concentration. It might even be possible for the labs to pass at a

slightly lower concentration; however, a conclusion is uncertain in the absence of additional data

below the PQL concentrations.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 124 Final - March 2003 

Conclusion for Thallium

The method comparison results indicate that use of the least sensitive method was

discontinued since promulgation of NPDWRs. In addition, the MDLs of all the possible

methods do not differ much between themselves (only by about a factor of two) with the ICP/MS

method having greater sensitivity. The method usage over time shows that EPA Method 200.9,

the less sensitive method, was the preferred choice for EPA and State laboratories. Based on the

evaluation of more recent quantitative PE data, the current PQL of 2 :g/L using a ± 30 percent

acceptance limit appears to still be supportable and appropriate. Data do suggest that it may

possible for the labs to pass at a slightly lower concentration.

Toluene

Results of the Method Comparison

The NPDWR for Phase II VOCs (56 FR 3526) approved several analytical methods for

toluene. These included EPA Methods 502.2, 503.1, 524.1, and 524.2. Since this regulation was

promulgated, the Agency retained EPA Methods 502.2 and 524.2 for determination of toluene. 

Table 68 summarizes the MDL for both the original and currently approved versions of the

methods. As shown in Table 68, the MDLs of the two current methods remain essentially

unchanged from their values at promulgation of the rule.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of analytical methods used by participating laboratories from WS 34 to 41 is

shown in Figure 40. The category of "other" contains those methods that were unknown or

unidentified by the participating laboratories. As shown in Figure 40, EPA Method 524.2 was

the preferred method for laboratories participating in WS 34 to 41 and the use of EPA Method

502.2 decreased over time.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 126 Final - March 2003 

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The Agency set the original PQL at 5 :g/L (52 FR 25700 and 56 FR 3526) for all VOCs

except vinyl chloride. More recent data from WS 29 through 41were used to re-evaluate the

PQL for toluene. Table 69 summarizes the results of these WS studies providing the study

number, the spiked value for the WS sample, the number of laboratory results, and the percent of

laboratories passing the WS proficiency test for toluene within specified acceptance limits. The

acceptance limits for toluene are ± 20% for a true value greater than10 :g/L or ± 40% for a true

value lower than 10 :g/L (as specified at 141.24(f)(17)(i)).

A re-evaluation of the PQL for toluene could not be performed using the available PE data in

Table 4. All of the passing rates in Table 4 were well above the 75 percent criterion necessary to

recalculate the PQL. In addition, the true value concentrations observed in the available WS

data were all greater than the current PQL of 5 :g/L. However, at concentrations close to the

current PQL (spikes of 5.7, 6.54, and 8.02 :g/L), the passing rates were 100, 100 and 98 percent,

respectively. These data suggest that the a lower PQL may exist for toluene.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 127 Final - March 2003 

Conclusion for Toluene

The method comparison results show that since the promulgation of analytical methods

under the NPDWR, no new methods have been approved for the analysis of toluene, and

analytical capabilities have remained essentially constant. The most commonly used method has

been EPA Method 524.2, which is also the least sensitive method of the past and present

methods. Evaluation of the PE data show that the majority of the laboratories conducting WS

analyses surpassed the 75 percent criterion typically used to derive a PQL. However, the high

laboratory passing rates (> 95%) at concentrations slightly above the current PQL of 5 :g/L

suggest that the PQL for toluene could be lower.

Toxaphene

Results of the Method Comparison

At the promulgation of the NPDWRs for Phase II SOCs, three GC methods, EPA Method

505 (GC with microextraction), EPA Method 508 (GC with ECD), and EPA Method 525.1

(GC/MS with LSE), were approved for the determination of toxaphene in drinking water (56 FR

3552). Since that time, EPA has approved two additional GC and GC/MS methods, respectively:

EPA Methods 508.1 and 525.2 (both featuring LSE extraction). Table 70 provides a summary of

MDLs for the approved methods. As shown in Table 70, EPA Method 508 does not specify the

MDL for toxaphene. The MDL for EPA Method 525.2 is comparable to that of EPA Method

505. The MDL of EPA Method 505 has not changed over time, 1 :g/L. The MDLs of the newer

methods range from about 0.03 to 1.7 :g/L. The most sensitive method currently available, EPA

Method 508.1, has about eight times the sensitivity of EPA Method 505.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 41 illustrates the methods chosen by EPA and State laboratories for toxaphene

analysis during WS PE studies 34 to 41. The category of "other" includes any unidentified or

unreported techniques used by participating laboratories. As shown in Figure 41, the

predominant method used by laboratories participating in the WS studies was EPA Method 508,

followed by EPA Method 505. Other methods such as EPA Methods 525.1, 525.2, and other

unidentified methods were used intermittently throughout WS 34 to 41. EPA Method 508.1 was

not used by laboratories according to the PE data.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The current PQL of 3 :g/L was derived by multiplying the IMDL by factor of five (56 FR

3526). With the availability of more recent WS data, EPA reviewed the data from WS studies 24

to 41 to attempt a PQL re-evaluation. Table 71 summarizes each WS result including the spiked

(or "true") value, the number of participating laboratories, and the percentage of laboratories

passing within the specified acceptance limit for toxaphene (± 45 percent as designated in 40

EPA prefers to evaluate the PQL as the concentration at which 75 percent of laboratories are

able to pass the proficiency exam within the 45 percent acceptance limits. In the case of

toxaphene, however, this approach could not be used, since the percentage of laboratories

passing within acceptance limits was well above the 75 percent criterion. Also, very few WS

studies (e.g., 24b, 25b and 30) involved true value concentrations near the current PQL; all other

studies involved spiked values above 3 :g/L. Because of these data limitations, the PQL could

not be re-evaluated using the historical linear regression approach. However, the observed high

success rates of laboratories suggests that the PQL may be lowered. Since 97 percent of

participating laboratories, on average, were able to determine concentrations at about half of the

existing PQL, this success rate suggests that a lower PQL probably would not challenge most

laboratories' analytical capabilities.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 131 Final - March 2003 

Conclusion for Toxaphene

The 1991 NPDWR for toxaphene approved the use of EPA Methods 505, 508, and 525.1 for

toxaphene determination in drinking water. EPA Methods 508.1 and 525.2, using similar GC

technologies, were approved more recently. The MDL of EPA Method 508.1 was the most

sensitive compared to all other methods; however, data on method usage over time revealed that

this method was not employed by laboratories. Instead, laboratories participating in the PE

studies used EPA Method 508 with the greatest frequency. Unfortunately, no data are available

regarding the MDL of this method. A PQL re-evaluation could not be completed due to the high

success rates (well above the 75 percent criterion) in each water study as well as the high spiked

concentrations in all but three water studies. The high success rates of laboratories during PE

testing at concentrations well below the current PQL leads to the inference that a lower PQL

would not greatly lessen laboratory performance.

1,1,1-Trichloroethane

Results of the Method Comparison

The NPDWRs for 1,1,1-trichloroethane approved certain analytical methods for the

determination of this contaminant (52 FR 25690) and seven other Phase I VOCs. These methods

included EPA Methods 502.1, 502.2, 503.1, 542.1, and 524.2. Since this regulation was

promulgated, the Agency retained EPA Methods 502.2 and 524.2 for determination of 1,1,1-

trichloroethane and introduced a new GC variation, EPA Method 551.1, LLE/GC with ECD. 

Table 72 summarizes the MDLs for both the original and current methods.

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of the different methods used by the EPA and State laboratories during WS

studies 34 to 41 are shown in Figure 42. The category of "other" contains those methods that

were unknown or unidentified by the participating laboratories. As shown in Figure 42, the

increase in EPA and State laboratory usage of EPA Method 524.2 was accompanied by a gradual

decrease in use of EPA Method 502.2 during WS 34 to 41. Although EPA Method 551.1 was

approved during this time, laboratories participating in WS studies did not report usage of this

method.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

As with the majority of the Phase I VOCs, the current PQL for 1,1,1-trichloroethane of 5

:g/L was determined using a multiplier of ten times the detection limit of 0.5 :g/L (52 FR

25700). Re-evaluation of the PQL was attempted using data from WS studies 24 through 41. 

Table 73 summarizes the results of these WS studies, providing the study number, the spiked

value for the WS sample, the number of laboratory results, and the percent of laboratories

passing the WS proficiency test for 1,1,1-trichloroethane within the specified acceptance limits

(± 20 percent for true values greater than10 :g/L and ± 40 percent for true values less than 10

The 1,1,1-trichloroethane data from Table 73 are insufficient for a PQL re-evaluation using

the graphical or linear regression approach. The high laboratory passing rates do not permit

evaluation of the PQL using the 75 percent criterion. In addition, only one spike concentration

(WS 24) was below the current PQL of 5 :g/L. However, the laboratory passing rates at spike

concentrations around the current PQL exceeded 98 percent. This information suggests that a

lower PQL could be possible.

Conclusion for 1,1,1-Trichloroethane

The method comparison results show that since the promulgation of analytical methods

under the NPDWR, EPA Methods 502.2 and 524.2 have remained in use whereas EPA Method

551.1 was more recently approved. While EPA Method 551.1 is the most sensitive of the three

currently approved methods, this method is not currently used by EPA or State laboratories

according to the available WS data. However, all current methods are more sensitive than the
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 135 Final - March 2003 

methods approved at promulgation, as shown in Table 72. Evaluation of the quantitative PE data

showed that the majority of the laboratories conducting WS analyses were able to surpass the 75

percent criterion needed to evaluate the PQL. Because of the high percentage of laboratories

passing and an insufficient number of spike concentrations below the 5 :g/L, a re-evaluation of

the PQL could not be performed using the graphical approach. However, the high passing rates

at concentrations slightly above 5 :g/L are suggestive of a potential change in the current PQL.

1,1,2-Trichloroethane

Results of the Method Comparison

As determined by the Phase I rules for volatile organic compounds (57 FR 31776), the

approved methods listed for analysis of 1,1,2-trichloroethane in drinking water were purge and

trap GC and GC/MS. Since this regulation was promulgated, the detection capability of EPA

Method 524.2 has become slightly more sensitive. One new analytical method, LLE/GC with

ECD (EPA 551.1), has been approved by the EPA since the promulgation of the original

methods. As shown in Table 74, all three currently approved methods have comparable MDLs. 

However, EPA Method 502.1, which is no longer approved for analysis, has the greatest

sensitivity level of all the approved methods, past and present.

The standard approach to develop or evaluate a PQL could not be performed with 1,1,2-

trichloroethane because the high laboratory passing percentage data (as shown in Table 75) does

not permit the plotting of a useful linear regression line. Therefore, the re-evaluation of the PQL

could not be done using these WS data. However, high laboratory passing rates at

concentrations slightly above the current PQL of 5 :g/L suggest that a lower PQL may be

possible.

Conclusion for 1,1,2-Trichloroethane

The method comparison shows that since the promulgation of the original analytical methods

for 1,1,2-trichloroethane, one new method (EPA Method 551.1) has been approved for

contaminant analysis. However, laboratories who responded to the WS studies primarily chose

to use EPA Methods 524.2 and 502.2 rather than EPA Method 551.1, as shown by the plot of

method usage over time. The MDL for EPA Method 524.2 has decreased slightly over time,

indicating slightly greater sensitivity. While EPA Method 502.1 had a maximum MDL of 0.007

:g/L, the lowest of any methods, it is currently not approved for 1,1,2-trichloroethane analyses. 

The evaluation of the WS data show that the majority of participating labs surpassed the 75

percent EPA criterion. Hence, because of the high percentage of labs passing and the lack of

spike concentrations below the current PQL, a re-evaluation of the PQL could not be performed

using linear regression or graphical analysis. However, the high passing rates at concentrations

slightly above 5 :g/L are suggestive of a potential change in the current PQL.

Trichloroethylene

Results of the Method Comparison

The analytical methods approved for the determination of trichloroethylene under the

NPDWRs for Phase I VOCs include EPA Methods 502.1, 502.2, 524.1, and 524.2 (52 FR

25899). Since the promulgation of the rule in 1987, the Agency has added EPA Method 551.1, a

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

Figure 44 shows the distribution of the different methods used by the EPA and State

laboratories during WS studies 34 to 41. The category of "other" contains those methods that

were unknown or unidentified by the participating laboratories. As shown in Figure 44,

laboratories participating in studies WS 34 to 41 used EPA Method 524.2 with increasing

frequency over EPA Method 502.2. No laboratories used EPA Method 551.1 for PE

determinations of trichloroethylene.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The original PQL of 5 :g/L for trichloroethylene was determined by evaluation of data from

WS studies 8 to 11 (50 FR 46880). For the PQL reassessment, updated data from WS 24 to 41

were reviewed. Table 77 summarizes the results of these WS studies providing the study

number, the spiked value for the WS sample, the number of laboratory results, and the percent of
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 141 Final - March 2003 

laboratories passing the WS proficiency test for trichloroethylene within the acceptance limits (±

20 percent for a true value greater than10 :g/L, or ± 40 percent for a true value lower than 10

:g/L).

Table 77 reveals that the percentage of laboratories passing the acceptance limit averaged

over 90 percent. Because the laboratories exceeded the standard 75 percent criterion used to

estimate the PQL, the typical regression method could not be successfully employed to estimate

a new PQL value. Another limitation of the data was that the true value concentrations in the

available studies were all greater than 0.5 :g/L, preventing evaluation of laboratory performance

at concentrations below the current PQL. However, high laboratory passing rates at

concentrations slightly above the current PQL of 5 :g/L suggest that a lower PQL may be

possible.
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 142 Final - March 2003 

Conclusion for Trichloroethylene

The method comparison results show that, since the promulgation of analytical methods

under the original NPDWR for trichloroehtylene, two of these methods are no longer approved

for determination of this contaminant. While EPA Method 551.1 is the most sensitive of the

three currently approved methods, this method is not currently used by EPA or State laboratories

according to the available WS data. Instead, EPA Method 524.2, the least sensitive of the three

current methods, has been the primary method of choice. Evaluation of the quantitative PE data

shows that the majority of the laboratories conducting WS analyses had surpassed the 75 percent

criterion. Because of the high percentage of laboratories passing, a re-evaluation of the PQL

could not be performed using this approach. However, the high laboratory passing rates at

concentrations slightly above 5 :g/L are suggestive of a change in the PQL.

Vinyl Chloride

Results of the Method Comparison

With the promulgation of NPDWRs for Phase I VOCs (proposed November 1985, 50 FR

46905; finalized July 1987, 52 FR 25690), EPA Methods 502.1, 502.2, 524.1, and 524.2 were

listed as approved methods for the determination of vinyl chloride in drinking water. Since

promulgation of this rule, EPA Methods 502.1 and 524.1 were removed. As shown in Table 78,

the MDLs of the current methods are comparable in sensitivity to previously approved methods.

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of methods used by EPA and State laboratories during WS studies 34 to 41

is plotted in Figure 45. The category of "other" contains those methods that were unknown or

unidentified by the participating laboratories. As shown in Figure 45, over the course of the past

eight WS Studies, the use of EPA Method 524.2 has grown while the use of EPA Method 502.2

has decreased. EPA Method 524.2 has consistently remained the most commonly used method

for vinyl chloride determination.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The original PQL of 2 :g/L for vinyl chloride was determined by using multi-laboratory

performance data, rather than the multiplier procedure used for other VOCs (52 FR 25700). A

re-evaluation of the PQL was attempted using more recent PE data from WS 24 to 41. Table 79

summarizes the results of these studies, providing the study number, the spiked value for the WS

sample, the number of laboratory results, and the percentage of laboratories passing the

performance evaluation within the + 40 percent acceptance limits (40 CFR § 141.24(f)(17)(ii)).

EPA prefers to estimate the PQL by choosing the spiked value at which 75 percent of

laboratories can determine the concentration within the appropriate 40 percent acceptance

window. In the case of vinyl chloride, the results from participating laboratories listed in Table

79 could not be used to re-evaluate the PQL because the laboratory success rate exceeded this 75

percent criterion. The other limitation of these data was the high range of spiked concentrations

exhibited during the WS studies, which exceeded the current PQL of 2 :g/L. Therefore, the

available data do not provide sufficient data to recalculate the PQL. However, passing rates of

79 to 81 percent for the three lowest concentrations (2.57, 3.57 and 4.35 :g/L) above the current

PQL of 2 :g/L suggest that the current PQL is in the appropriate range and unlikely to change.

Conclusion for Vinyl Chloride

As shown by the method comparison table, EPA Methods 502.2 and 524.2 were approved

with the Phase I Rule promulgation for VOCs and continue to be approved today. The

sensitivity of newer versions of the methods are comparable older versions. According to the
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 146 Final - March 2003 

plot of methods usage over time, the laboratories who participated in WS 34 to 41 employed

EPA Method 524.2 more frequently than EPA Method 502.2. The available PE data were

reviewed but did not provide sufficient data to recalculate the PQL. Evaluation of the available

WS data suggest that the current PQL of 2 :g/L vinyl chloride is unlikely to change.

Xylenes (total)

Results of the Method Comparison

The NPDWR for total xylenes, a Phase II VOC, approved four methods: EPA Methods

502.2, 503.1, 524.1, and 524.2. Since this regulation was promulgated, EPA Methods 503.1 and

524.1 have been removed from the approved list, leaving EPA Methods 502.2 and 524.2 as the

only currently approved methods; no new methods have been introduced. Table 80 provides

descriptions of the methods and their MDLs. The MDLs of the two current methods remain

essentially unchanged from their values at promulgation of the rule.

Results of the Analysis of the WS Data

a. Method Usage Over Time

The distribution of analytical methods used by participating laboratories from WS 34 to 41 is

shown in Figure 46. The results for "other" techniques in this figure include the use of any other

technique identified by the laboratories participating in the WS study, as well as "unknown"

methods, i.e., methods for which laboratories did not report the method used. As Figure 46

shows, EPA Method 524.2 was the preferred method for laboratories participating in WS studies

34 to 41. The use of EPA Method 502.2 appears to decrease over time.

b. Results of the PQL Analysis

The Agency set the original PQL at 5 :g/L (52 FR 25700 and 56 FR 3526) for all VOCs

except vinyl chloride. Data from WS 24 through 41 were used to re-evaluate the PQL for total

xylenes. Table 81 summarizes the results of these WS studies providing the study number, the

spiked “true” value for the WS sample, the number of results from EPA and State laboratories,

and the percent of laboratories passing the WS proficiency test for total xylenes within specified

acceptance limits. The acceptance limits for total xylenes are ± 20% for a true value greater

than10 :g/L or ± 40% for a true value lower than 10 :g/L (as specified at 40 CFR §

141.24(f)(17)(i)).

40 30.3 58 91.4

41 30.9 43 97.7

A re-evaluation of the PQL could not be performed using the available PE data in Table 81. 

All of the passing rates in Table 81 were well above the 75 percent criterion necessary to

recalculate the PQL. High laboratory passing rates (greater than 90 percent) at concentrations

slightly above (i..e., ~ 7 and 8 :g/L) the current PQL suggest that a lower PQL may exist.

Conclusion for Xylenes (total)

Since the promulgation of the Phase II rule, no new methods have been approved for the

analysis of total xylenes, and analytical capabilities have remained essentially constant. Of the

currently approved methods, EPA Method 524.2 is used more frequently by laboratories for the

detection of total xylenes (although it is not the most sensitive method available). Evaluation of

WS studies 24 to 41 show that the percentage of laboratories passing are higher than the 75%

criterion typically used to develop a PQL. Also, all of the true values for the WS PE studies

were above the current PQL. At the lowest concentrations tested (~ 7 and 8 :g/L), the laboratory 
Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review 149 Final - March 2003 

passing rates were quite high (greater than 90 percent). Although not definitive, high passing

rates at values slightly above the current PQL of 5 :g/L suggest that a lower PQL may exist for

total xylenes.

VI. Conclusion

As part of the 1996-2002 Six-Year Review of National Primary Drinking Water

Regulations, EPA's Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water re-evaluated the analytical

feasibility for 40 selected NPDWRs. Table 82 summarizes the results of the analytical feasibility

analysis. Upon review, EPA found that the majority of the available WS data were insufficient

for the recalculation of the PQL for many of the 40 contaminants of interest. The data were

considered insufficient because either the true value of the spike concentrations used in the WS

studies were above the concentration of interest and/or the percentages of labs passing exceeded

the 75 percent criterion used to calculate a PQL. However, for many of the 40 contaminants, the

available data were sufficient to indicate whether the PQL might change or if the current PQL is

still appropriate. Of the 40 NPDWRs evaluated, the available information indicates that the PQL

for 25 may possibly be lower. The PQL for the remaining 15 appears to still be appropriate.

For the 25 analytes where the WS data indicate that a lower PQL may exist, EPA used the

information about method usage over time, the MDLs for these methods, and the 10 x MDL

multiplier to estimate what the potentially lower PQL might be. These estimates are shown in

Appendix A. Pending the outcome of the health effects review, the majority of these estimated

values will be used as thresholds in the occurrence and exposure analyses to determine whether

an improvement in public health protection might be possible if EPA were to consider gathering

more definitive data to recalculate the PQL and possibly lower the MCL.

impacted, and the percentage of the exposed population served by these systems. In making the revise/not revise

decision, EPA will consider the difference between levels of occurrence and exposure above the current MCL and

the occurrence and exposure at threshold levels of interest (e.g. potential MCLs and/or MCLGs).

Methods Support Document for Six-Year Review A-1 Final - March 2003 

Appendix A

After re-evaluating more recent Water Supply data for the Six-Year Review, EPA found that

insufficient data were available around the 75 percent criterion to actually recalculate the PQL. 

However, in many cases, the passing rates for the EPA Regional and State laboratories exceeded

the 75 percent at values close to the current PQL. If the passing rates were greater than 80 to 85

percent at spike concentrations close to the current PQL, then this information was considered to

be indicative of a possible change in the PQL. If data indicated a possible change in the PQL,

EPA then evaluated the distribution of the analytical methods used to analyze the spike samples

in the WS studies. Evaluation of the method usage over time allowed EPA to determine the

analytical methods that appear to be the most widely used for the analysis of a particular

contaminants. Knowledge of which analytical methods are the most widely used, along with the

MDL for these methods, and a ten times MDL multiplier allowed EPA to estimate where the

potential lower limit of quantitation may lie today. These values are shown in Table 83. Most of

these estimated PQLs have or will be used as a threshold value in the occurrence and exposure

(O/E)1

 analysis to help the Agency determine if there may be a meaningful opportunity for health

risk reduction if EPA were to consider gathering the information needed to recalculate the PQL

(and therefore consider changes to the MCL).
