## March 2, 2012 Duke Energy ATTN: Jay Perkins Scientific Support-Laboratory 13339 Hagers Ferry Road Huntersville NC 28078 jcperkins@duke-energy.com labcustomer@duke-energy.com RE: Project DUK-HV1201 Client Project: J12020379 Dear Mr. Perkins, On February 24, 2012, Brooks Rand Labs (BRL) received two (2) wastewater samples and two (2) corresponding field blanks. Samples were logged-in for total mercury (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 applicable SOP(s) and may be evaluated using adjusted reporting limits to account for sample aliquot size. Please refer to the Sample Results page for sample-specific detection limits and other details. No qualification of the data was warranted, aside from concentration qualifiers, 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,

Tiffany Stilwater Project Manager tiffany@brooksrand.com

## 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, Ltd ., those found in the EPA SOW ILM03.0, Exhibit B, Section III, pg. B-18, and the USEPA Laboratory Data Validation Functional Guidelines for Evaluating Inorganic Analyses; USEPA; July 2002. 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.
