### Program Comments: Please contact the Program Manager (Jason C Perkins) with any questions regarding this report.
Data Flags & Calculations: Any analytical tests or individual analytes within a test flagged with a Qualifier indicate a deviation from the method quality system or quality control requirement. The qualifier description is found at the end of the Certificate of Analysis (sample results) under the qualifiers heading. All results are reported on a dry weight basis unless otherwise noted. Subcontracted data included on the Duke Certificate of Analysis is to be used as information only. Certified vendor results can be found in the subcontracted lab final report. Duke Energy Analytical Laboratory subcontracts analyses to other vendor laboratories that have been qualified by Duke Energy to perform these analyses except where noted. Data Package: This data package includes analytical results that are applicable only to the samples described in this narrative. An estimation of the uncertainty of measurement for the results in the report is available upon request. This report shall not be reproduced, except in full, without the written consent of the Analytical Laboratory. Please contact the Analytical laboratory with any questions. The order of individual sections within this report is as follows: Job Summary Report, Sample Identification, Technical Validation of Data Package, Analytical Laboratory Certificate of Analysis, Analytical Laboratory QC Reports, Sub-contracted Laboratory Results, Customer Specific Data Sheets, Reports & Documentation, Customer Database Entries, Test Case Narratives, Chain of Custody (COC)
Certification: The Analytical Laboratory holds the following State Certifications : North Carolina (DENR) Certificate #248, South Carolina (DHEC) Laboratory ID # 99005. Contact the Analytical Laboratory for definitive information about the certification status of specific methods.

RE: Project DUK

- HV1 201 Client P roject : J12090223

Dear Mr. Perkins, O n September 18 , 2012, Brooks Rand Labs ( BRL) received two(2) wastewater samples and three(3) corresponding field blanks. The samples were logged

- in for total Hg analysis. All samples were received, prepared, analyzed, and stored according to BRL SOPs and EPA methodology. The results were blank

-corrected as described in the calculations section of the relevant SOP and may have been evaluated using reporting limits that have been adjusted to account for sample aliquot size. Please refer to the Sample Results page for sample

-specific MDLs, MRLs, and other details. In sequence 1200745 , all analyses following continuing calibration verification (CCVA) standard were not within the instrument calibration

. All samples were re

-analyzed in sequence 1200753. Aside from concentration qualifiers, all data was reported without qualification and all associated quality control sample results met the acceptance criteria. BRL, an accredited laboratory, certifies the reported results of all analyses for which BRL is NELAP accredited meet all NELAP requirements. For more details , see the Report Information page of the report. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this report. Sincerely,

## Definition of Data Qualifiers

(Effective 9/23/09) 

## Laboratory Accreditation BRL is accredited by the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP) through the State of Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Laboratories (E87982) and is certified to perform many environmental analyses. BRL is also certified by many other states to perform environmental analyses. For a current list of our accreditations /certifications, please visit our website at <http://www.brooksrand.com/default.asp?contentID=586>. Results reported relate only to the samples listed in the report.

## Common Abbreviations

These qualifiers are based on those previously utilized by Brooks Rand Labs, those found in the EPA SOW ILM03.0, Exhibit B, Section III, pg. B-18, and the USEPA Contract Laboratory Program National Functional Guidelines for Inorganic Superfund Data Review; USEPA; January 2010. These supersede all previous qualifiers ever employed by BRL. Detected by the instrument, the result is > the MDL but ≤the MRL. Result is reported and considered an estimate. B E 

### An estimated value due to the presence of interferences. A full explanation is presented in the narrative. H 

### Holding time and/or preservation requirements not met. Result is estimated. J 

### Estimated value. A full explanation is presented in the narrative. J-M 

### Duplicate precision (RPD) for associated QC sample was not within acceptance criteria. Result is estimated. J-N 

### Spike recovery for associated QC sample was not within acceptance criteria. Result is estimated. M 

### Duplicate precision (RPD) was not within acceptance criteria. Result is estimated. N 

### Spike recovery was not within acceptance criteria. Result is estimated. R 

### Rejected, unusable value. A full explanation is presented in the narrative. U 

### Result is ≤the MDL or client requested reporting limit (CRRL). Result reported as the MDL or CRRL. X 

### Result is not BLK-corrected and is within 10x the absolute value of the highest detectable BLK in the batch. Result is estimated. 

## Field Quality Control Samples Please be notified that certain EPA methods require the collection of field quality control samples of an appropriate type and frequency; failure to do so is considered a deviation from some methods and for compliance purposes should only be done with the approval of regulatory authorities. Please see the specific EPA methods for details regarding required field quality control samples.
