GSL Order ID: Multiple

The samples submitted under the above referenced project name and identified by our Golden Specialty laboratory order 

number have been analyzed, and the data is enclosed. Only results for samples listed on the original Chain of Custody (at end 

of report) are included in this report. Raw data and subcontract data, if applicable, are attached to this report. Results 

provided in this report relate only to the samples.

All samples will be kept for no less than five business days after the final report is submitted, unless other arrangements have 

been made. Samples put on hold or held in canisters due to client issues will incur weekly canister rental fees. Golden 

Specialty reserves the right to return any unused samples due to hazardous sample matrices. Raw data and final reports will 

be filed for five years unless otherwise requested by client or regulatory mandates. To protect the integrity and completeness

of this report, it must remain attached to this cover letter.

I certify to the best of my knowledge all analytical data presented in this report has been checked for completeness and 

accuracy, and is free of errors. Any deviations from the stated analytical protocols due to sample matrix have been 

documented in the laboratory narrative of this analytical report. Unless otherwise noted, any analysis performed by Golden 

Specialty falls within the scope of our NELAC accreditation and meets all NELAC requirements.

We thank you for selecting Golden Specialty to serve your analytical needs. If you have any questions concerning this report, 

please feel free to contact us at any time.

This analytical report and data associated has been reviewed and prepared specifically for you. The data package represents the best analytical and technical judgment and interpretations of our personnel, in accordance 

with the Golden Specialty Laboratory Quality Assurance Manual. Golden Specialty Inc. assumes no responsibility for the end use of this document or any portion extracted from it. Unless it is otherwise agreed upon, in 

writing, and prior to analytical work, Golden Specialty Inc. liability may not exceed the amount invoiced for this order.

Laboratory Narrative

EPA Method 315:

Volumes reported for the MCEM portions of Container 1 reflect the volume of methylene chloride used for the filter 

extraction, and volumes reported for the MCEM portions of Container 2 are taken from the Container 2M volumes of the 

same run.

The Washington Department of Ecology does not currently offer accreditation for EPA Method 315.

Sample Condition On Receipt and Volume Corrections:

As discussed, many of the liquid portions were received with visible leakage from the sample bottles into the containing 

plastic bags. As the leaked liquids washed off portions of the labels, the liquid present in the bags was considered unusable, 

and the remaining volumes present in the sample bottles were analyzed. Sample results for which a pre-shipment volume is 

available have been volume-corrected based on the ratio of volume collected vs. volume received. Sample results for which a 

pre-shipment volume was not recorded are reported without a correction for the unknown amount of leaked sample, and are 

not considered to be representative of the full sample collected. 

Three sample bottles (161 Reactor Line 1 Run 1 FH DCM, 161 Reactor Line 1 Run 2 FH DCM, and Room 6 Run 2 FH DCM) 

were received with no visible liquid inside. These sample bottles were rinsed with 10 ml of solvent, and the solvent was 

analyzed. As a receipt volume could not be recorded, results for these three samples are reported without a correction for the 

ratio of volume collected vs. volume received, and are not considered to be representative of the full sample collected.

Two filter samples (161 Reactor Line 1 Runs 2 and 3) were received in broken glass petri dishes, and the available filter 

material was salvaged and analyzed. Care was taken to recover as much of the filter material as possible and to remove as 

much of the broken glass as possible, but results for these two filters are not considered to be representative of the full sample 

collected.

Attached at the end of this report are several pictures documenting the condition of the samples on receipt.
