SUMMARY
Raw
data
from
the
analytical
instrument
is
reported
to
the
nearest
one­
hundredth
of
a
µ
g/
L
(
i.
e.,
0.01),
and
the
calibration
standards
vary
from
0.50
to
40.00
µ
g/
L.
Therefore,
to
avoid
extrapolation
outside
of
the
calibration
range,
the
reported
detection
limit
is
0.50
µ
g/
L
and
any
sample
that
exceeds
40.00
µ
g/
L
is
diluted
and
rerun.
Based
on
the
calibration
standards
and
instrument
measurement,
raw
data
will
have
as
few
as
2
and
as
many
as
4
significant
figures.
Reported
results
are
rounded
to
3
significant
figures,
which
will
be
dropped
to
2
significant
figures
when
the
result
is
less
than
1.00
µ
g/
L.
This
convention
is
carried
through
when
data
are
reported
as
mg/
L,
rather
than
µ
g/
L.
Several
examples
follow:
1)
a
raw
data
result
of
3.45
µ
g/
L
is
associated
with
a
dilution
factor
of
1,000
and
the
result
may
be
reported
as
3,450
µ
g/
L
or
3.45
mg/
L;
2)
a
raw
data
result
of
0.76
µ
g/
L
is
associated
with
a
dilution
factor
of
1,000
and
the
result
may
be
reported
as
760
µ
g/
L
or
0.76
mg/
L;
and
3)
a
raw
data
result
of
21.34
is
associated
with
a
dilution
factor
of
1,000
and
the
result
may
be
reported
as
21,300
µ
g/
L
or
21.3
mg/
L.

To
assess
the
control
of
laboratory
QA/
QC,
a
review
was
made
of
the
instrument
calibration
curve,
initial
and
continuing
calibration
samples
(
ICV
and
ICCV),
initial
and
continuing
blank
samples
(
ICB
and
ICCB),
laboratory
control
sample
(
LCS),
raw
data
sheets,
sample
digestion
log,
dilution
factors,
and
precision
and
accuracy
summary
sheets.
Results
of
this
review
are
provided
in
Table
E­
1.

A
five­
point
calibration
curve
was
constructed
with
standard
mercury
concentrations
of
0.50
to
40.00
µ
g/
L.
Measurement
of
these
standards
produced
a
linear
trend
with
an
acceptable
correlation
coefficient
of
0.999817.
The
initial
and
continuing
calibration
standards
are
within
the
acceptable
range
(
recovery
was
101
%
for
the
initial
sample
and
103
to
108
%
for
continuing
samples),
and
the
initial
and
continuing
blanks
are
all
below
the
reporting
detection
limit
of
0.50
µ
g/
L.
A
laboratory
control
standard
was
run
prior
to
analyzing
the
samples,
and
the
reported
value
of
11.00
µ
g/
L
(
110
%
of
the
known
value)
is
within
acceptable
limits.

The
sample
digestion
log
indicates
the
initial
sample
dilution
factors,
0.2
g
of
solid
per
20
mL
of
digestion
reagent
and
20
mL
of
TCLP
leachate
per
20
mL
of
digestion
reagent.
Additional
notes
in
the
laboratory
QC
report
indicate
the
reagents
in
the
initial
dilution
and
how
the
samples
achieved
their
final
dilution
factors
of
1,000,000
for
the
solid
samples
and
100,000
for
the
TCLP
leachate.
The
precision
and
accuracy
summary
provided
for
one
of
the
digested
solid
samples
(
05A,
05A­
duplicate,
05A­

and
one
of
the
TCLP
leachates
(
01A,
01A­
duplicate,
01A­
spike)
show
acceptable
precision
(
±
25
%)
and
accuracy
results
(

125
%).

The

Results

µ
g/
L
for
each
of
the
runs.
Measurement
of

produced
a
linear

with
an
acceptable
correlation
coefficient
of
0.999720
for
the
TCLP
run
and
0.999733
for

run.
The
initial

continuing
calibration
standards
are
within
the
acceptable

for
both
runs,
and
the
initial
and
continuing
blanks
are
all

A
five­
point
calibration
curve
was
constructed
with
standard
mercury
concentrations
of
0.50
to
40.00
µ
g/
L
for
each
of
the
two
batch
runs.
Measurement
of
these
standards
produced
a
linear
trend
with
acceptable
correlation
coefficients
of
0.999547
and
0.999759.
The
initial
and
continuing
calibration
standards
are
within
the
acceptable
range
for
both
runs,
and
the
initial
and
continuing
blanks
are
all
below
the
reporting
detection
limit
of
0.50
µ
g/
L.
A
laboratory
control
standard
was
run
prior
to
analyzing
the
samples,
and
the
reported
values
are
within
acceptable
limits.

The

indicates

in
the
initial

and
how
the
samples
achieved
their
final
dilution
factors
for
the
leachate
samples.
The
precision
and
accuracy
summary
provided
for
the
leachate
samples
show
acceptable

(
±
25%)
and
