Data Quality Assessment 

Analysis of Stack Gas for Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins and 

Dibenzofurans 

Parameter PCDD/PCDF in Stack Gas 

Sampling Method SW-846 Method 0023A 

Analytical Method SW-846 Method 8290

Laboratory Project Number(s) H3J140408, H3J190407, H3K010401, H3K010402 

Preparation Batch Number(s) 3289014, 3289015, 3295023, 3295024, 3308029, 3308030 

Sample Shipping and Receipt All samples received intact and at or below 4°C. 

QAPP specifies <4°C. 

Holding Time(s)

All samples prepared within 13 days of sampling and analyzed within 18 

days of preparation. 

QAPP specifies 30 days until preparation and 45 days from preparation until 

analysis. 

See table below. 

Blank Results

All target analytes except 2,3,7,8-TCDD were observed in a media check 

sample, laboratory blank or field blank. 

The levels observed in the blank samples are very low, typically near the 

detection limit. 

See tables below and in the main body of the report. 

Laboratory Check Sample (LCS) 

and Laboratory Check Sample 

Duplicate (LCSD) Results

Recovery of all species in LCS between 70 and 120%. Relative percent 

difference (RPD) for all LCS/LCSD pairs were all below 25%. 

QAPP specifies the performance of a LCS once with recoveries between 70 

and 130%. The QAPP has no specification for the performance of LCSD, or 

for RPD. The laboratory specification is RPD below 50%. 

See table below. 

Surrogate and Internal 

Standard Spike Results

Recovery of internal standards between 40 and 130% with a pooled relative 

standard deviation below 25%. Recovery of pre-sampling surrogates 

between 70 and 115% with a pooled relative standard deviation below 

15%. 

QAPP specifies internal standard recovery of 40-130% for tetra-hexa 

isomers and 25-130% for hepta and octa isomers, with no specification for 

pooled RSD. QAPP specifies recovery of surrogates between 70-130% with 

a pooled RSD below 30%. 

See tables below. 

Data Quality Objectives

These are given in terms of surrogate spikes: 

Accuracy: 70-130% Recovery. 

Precisions: <30% pooled RSD. 

These objectives were met. 

Conclusions and Comments

These data are acceptable for the intended purpose. 

As noted above, many analytes were found in the blank samples. Typically 

these levels are below the levels observed in the field samples. This 

indicates a potential positive bias in the field samples, which is conservative 

relative to the determination of emission rate. No data are qualified based 

on blank results.

Duplicate Analysis

Selected samples were analyzed in duplicate. 90 of 96 duplicate analyses met 

the QAPP specifications (see table below). The outliers are: 

• Ash in VS2-HBW-13B-COMP2B; results of 582 and 646 mg/kg; RPD of 

10.4% 

• Gross Calorific Value in VS2-LBW-15B-COMP2B; results of 178 and 

152 BTU/lb; RPD of 15.8% 

• Chlorine in VS3-CS-11A-COMP 1; results of 253 and 325 mg/kg; RPD 

of 24.9% 

• Chlorine in VS4-BS-11A-COMP1; results of 171 and 221 mg/kg; RPD 

of 25.5% 

• Ash in VS4-HBW-12B-COMP2B-DUP; results of 943 and 1050 mg/kg; 

RPD of 10.7% 

• Ash VS4-HBW-13A-COMP1; results of 1,500 and 928 mg/kg; RPD of 

47.1% 

No duplicate analysis was performed for moisture in solid waste streams. 

This duplicate analysis was specified in the QAPjP. 

In addition, samples were collected in duplicate. There are no QAPP 

specifications for the analysis of duplicate samples. Reproducibility for these 

samples was good. . 

See tables below

Quality Assurance Objective

The QAPP specifies quality assurance objectives as follows: 

• Chlorine 

o Precision: 10% RPD for MS/MSD 

o Accuracy: 80-120% Recovery of MS/MSD 

• Ash 

o Precision: 10% RPD for LCS/LCSD 

o Accuracy: 90-110% recovery for LCS 

• Water in liquid waste feed 

o Precision: 10% RPD for results greater than 1% 

o Accuracy: 95-105% recovery of LCS 

• Water in solid waste feed: 

o Precision: 25% RPD for duplicate analysis 

• Heating Value 

o Precision: 10% RPD for laboratory duplicates 

o Accuracy: 98-102% recovery of LCS 

• Density 

o Precision: 10% RPD for analytical duplicates 

o Accuracy: 99-101% recovery for LCS 

• Viscosity 

o Precision: 10% RPD for analytical duplicates 

o Accuracy: 99-101% recovery of LCS 

Except as discussed above, these objectives were met.

Conclusions and Comments

These data are acceptable for the intended purposes. 

The outliers for duplicate analysis have a negligible impact on the usability of 

the data. The chlorine carried in containerized solids and bulk solids is 

negligible (<1%) compared to the chlorine provided by the spiking material. 

The ash carried in high BTU waste is negligible (<1%) compared to the ash 

provided by the bulk or containerized solids. The heat input results in low 

BTU waste are near the detection limit. Increased uncertainty is expected 

close to the detection limit. 

Although duplicate analysis was not performed for water in solid waste 

streams, this has no impact on the usability of the data. Moisture results are 

used only to characterize the waste feed materials, and are not used in any 

demonstration of compliance. No data are qualified or invalidated based on 

duplicate analysis.

Data Quality Assessment 

Stack Gas Continuous Emission Monitors 

Parameter(s) Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Total Hydrocarbon 

Method(s) EPA Methods 3A, 25A 

Calibration Gas

Spans were set appropriately; gases were of 

appropriate and documented quality. 

Correct values of all calibration gases used in all 

calculations. 

See CEM data in appendix. 

Interference All analyzers used met the interference check criteria. 

Stratification Check

Stratification check performed using one analyte 

(oxygen). 

Results of stratification check used to determine 

number of sampling points. 

See table below. 

Calibration Error

All calibration error checks met method specifications. 

See tables below. 

System Bias

All system bias checks met method specifications. 

See tables below. 

Drift

All drift checks for oxygen and carbon dioxide met the 

method specifications. 70 of 72 drift checks for total 

hydrocarbons met method specifications. The two 

outliers were both during Unit 2 Run 1B. A drift of 

8.0% was seen at 1800, and a drift of 8.3% was 

observed at 1909. 

See tables below 

Data Quality Objectives

QAPP specifies these for THC only: 

Precision: Span and zero drift within 3% of 

span 

Accuracy: Calibration error within 5% of 

calibration gas value 

Except as noted, these specifications were achieved.

Conclusions and Comments

These data are acceptable for the intended purpose. 

In accordance with EPA Method 25A, the total 

hydrocarbon analyzer was immediately re-calibrated 

following each of the drift excursions. The data from 

the run was then recalculated using both calibration 

curves and the higher (more conservative) result 

reported. As the average THC was well below the 

standard, and that the conservative recalculation 

approach specified in the method was implemented, 

any uncertainty in these data has no impact on the 

conclusion of the report and the demonstration of 

compliance. No data are flagged or invalidated based 

on the calibration drift results.

Conclusions and Comments

These data are acceptable for the intended purpose. 

Metals feed rates are developed as a sum of totals fed to the system as LVM 

(arsenic, beryllium and chromium) SVM (cadmium and lead) and mercury. 

The MS/MSD outliers detailed above indicate increased uncertainty in the 

concentrations of the metals in those streams. The contribution of these 

streams to the total feed rates of LVM, SVM and mercury are negligible, and 

the increased uncertainty in these concentrations has no impact on the 

conclusions of the report. No data are qualified or invalidated based on 

MS/MSD results.

Sample Shipping and Receipt

Samples received intact and at ambient temperature. 

QAPP has no specification for temperature. 

Holding Time(s)

All samples analyzed within 28 days of sample collection. 

QAPP specifies analysis within 28 days for mercury and 180 days for all other 

analytes. 

See table below. 

Blank Results

29 of 31 laboratory blank analyses were below the detection limit. The 

outliers were for arsenic in batches associated with analysis of PNR/filter 

samples. 

Cadmium and mercury were each found in one field blank sample. 

Chromium was consistently observed in field blanks and media check 

samples. 

See tables below and in the main body of the report. 

Laboratory Control Sample (LCS) 

and Laboratory Control Sample 

Duplicate (LCSD) Results

All recoveries are between 90 and 110%. All relative percent deviations are 

below 10%. 

The QAPP specifies LCS recovery between 80 and 120%. The QAPP has no 

specification for RPD; the laboratory specifications are for RPD below 20%. 

See tables below. 

Matrix Spike (MS) and Matrix 

Spike (MSD) Results 

Post Digestion Spike (PDS) and 

Post Digestion Spike Duplicate 

(PDSD) Results

QAPP specifications are MS/MSD at 70-130% recovery, <20% RPD for 

everything except mercury, 75-125% recovery and 20% RPD for mercury. 

PDS/PDSD are to show recovery between 75 and 125% for metals excluding 

mercury and 80-120% recovery for mercury. There are no specifications for 

RPD on PDS/PDSD. . 

All MS/MSD and PDS/PDSD results met these criteria. 

Results are summarized in tables below. 

Date Quality Objectives

These are given in terms of matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate. 

Precision: <20% relative percent difference. 

Accuracy: 75-125% recovery. 

For stack samples this is applied to the post-digestion spike and postdigestion spike duplicates. These data quality objectives were all met.

Conclusions and Comments

These data are acceptable for the intended purpose. 

The blank results for arsenic in the laboratory blanks are near the detection 

limit, and similar or below the results for the field samples. This may 

indicate a slight positive bias in the field results. 

The single positive result for cadmium in one field blank is similar in 

magnitude to the field results. This may indicate a positive bias or false 

identification of cadmium in the field samples. 

The single positive result for mercury in one field blank is near the detection 

limit, and well below many of the field results. This may indicate a slight 

positive bias in the field samples. 

The consistent observation of chromium in field blank and media check 

samples is at a lower level than the field samples. This may indicate a slight 

positive bias in the results for the field samples. 

Any positive bias in these results is conservative in the demonstration of 

compliance. No results are invalidated or qualified based on blank results.

Parameter Hydrogen Chloride and Chlorine in Stack Gas 

Sampling Method EPA Method 26A 

Analytical Method Ion Chromatography, EPA Method 26A 

Laboratory Project ID 

Number(s) H3J140410, H3J190409, H3K010414, H3K020401 

Preparation Batch Number(s) 3295039, 3295058, 3301068, 3302015, 3312042, 3312045, 3316053 

Sample Shipping and Receipt Sample received intact and at ambient temperature. 

QAPP has no specification for preservation. 

Holding Time(s)

All samples prepared and analyzed within 20 days of sample collection. 

QAPP specifies analysis within 28 days. 

See table below. 

Blank Results

Nothing detected in laboratory blanks. Hydrogen chloride consistently 

detected in field blanks. 

See table below. 

Laboratory Check Sample (LCS) 

and Laboratory Check 

Sample (LCSD) Results

All LCS recoveries are between 95 and 105%. All RPDs are below 5%. 

The QAPP specifies LCS recovery between 90 and 110%. There are no QAPP 

specifications for LCSD or for precision. 

See table below. 

Matrix Spike (MS) and Matrix 

Spike Duplicate (MSD) Results

All recoveries are between 85 and 120%: all RPDs are less than 10%. 

QAPP specifies recovery between 75 and 125%. There are no QAPP 

specifications for RPD. 

See table below. 

Duplicate Analyses

All samples analyzed in duplicate. RPD for all samples below 5%. 

QAPP specifies RPD below 10%. 

See table below. 

Data Quality Objective

These are given as follows: 

• Accuracy: matrix spike recovery between 75 and 125%. 

• Precision: RPD for duplicate analysis of each sample less than 

10%. 

These objectives were met. 

Conclusions and Comments

These data are acceptable for the intended purpose. 

The levels of hydrogen chloride observed in the field blank samples 

(approximately 60 μg per sample) are well below the levels observed in the 

field samples (all greater than 1800 μg per sample). These negligible levels 

have no impact on the data. No data are qualified or invalidated based on 

blank results.

Revision Date: December 2012 

Page 1 of 2

Data Quality Assessment 

Analysis of Stack Gas for Particulate Matter 

Parameter Particulate Loading in Stack Gas 

Sampling Method EPA Method 5 

Analytical Method Gravimetric Analysis – EPA Method 5

Laboratory ID Number(s) H3J140413, H3J190410, H3K010423 

Preparation Batch Number(s) 3293010, 3303016, 3312021 

Sample Shipping and Receipt Sample received intact and at ambient temperature. 

QAPP has no specification for preservation of these samples. 

Holding Time(s)

All samples prepared and analyzed within 20 days of sampling. 

QAPP specifies analysis within 28 days. 

See table below. 

Blank Results

Field blank PNR sample had observable levels near the detection limit. No 

particulate matter detected in media check samples. 

Field Blank below actual results. 

See tables below and in main body of report. 

Results of Multiple Weighings Final weighing stable within < 0.5 mg 

Balance Calibration Performed daily during applicable periods 

Conclusions and Comments

These data are acceptable for the intended purpose. 

The levels of particulate material observed in the PNR samples were very 

low, and near the detection limit. Levels in the field samples were similar to 

these results, and may have a positive bias. As a positive bias is conservative 

relative to the estimation of emissions, no data are qualified or invalidated 

based on field blank results.
