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

RE: Project DUK-HV1201

Dear Jay Perkins,

This report contains results for the 2 samples received by Brooks Rand Labs (BRL) on May 14, 

2013. The samples were logged-in for the contracted analyses according to the 

chain-of-custody form(s). The samples were received, prepared, analyzed, and stored 

according to BRL SOPs and EPA methodology.

The results were method blank corrected as described in the calculations section of the relevant

BRL SOP(s) 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. All data is reported without qualification (with the exception of

concentration qualifiers), and all associated quality control sample results meet the acceptance 

criteria.

BRL, an accredited laboratory, certifies that the reported results of all analyses for which BRL is 

NELAP accredited meet all NELAP requirements. For more details, please see the Report

Information page in your report. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions 

regarding this report.

Lydia Greaves

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/about/accreditations-certifications/>.

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 ILM 03.0, 

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.

B Detected by the instrument, the result is > the MDL but ≤ the MRL. Result is reported and considered an estimate.

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.
