				  personnel are entering and exiting the unit; and
(8) Assure that incompatible hazardous wastes
				  or treatment reagents are not placed in the unit or its secondary containment
				  system if the wastes or reagents could cause the unit or secondary containment
				  system to leak, corrode, or otherwise fail.

Current through Register Vol. 51, No. 14, July 12, 2024
A. Using all the
				  available background data (nb readings), calculate the
				  background mean (xb) and background variance
				  Sb2.For the single monitoring
				  well under investigation (nm reading), calculate the
				  monitoring mean (xm) and monitoring variance
				  Sm2.For any set of data
				  (x1, x2
				  ...xn), the mean is calculated by:

and the variance is calculated by:

where "n" denotes the number of observations in the set of
					 data.
B. The t-test uses
				  these data summary measures to calculate a t-static (t*) and a comparison
				  t-statistic (tc).The t* value is compared to the
				  tc value and a conclusion reached as to whether there
				  has been a statistically significant change in any indicator
				  parameter.
C. The t-statistic for
				  all parameters except pH and similar monitoring parameters is:
Click
					 here to view Image
D. If the value of this t-statistic is
				  negative then there is no significant difference between the monitoring data
				  and background data. It should be noted that significantly small negative
				  values may be indicative of a failure of the assumption made for test validity
				  or errors have been made in collecting the background data.
E. The t-statistic
				  (tc) against which t* will be compared, necessitates
				  finding tB and tm from standard
				  (one-tailed) tables where, tB= t-tables with
				  (tB-1) degrees of freedom, at
				  the 0.05 level of significance.
F.
				  tm = t-tables with
				  (nm-1)degrees of freedom, at
				  the 0.05 level of significance.
G.
				  Finally, the special weighting WB and
				  WM are defined as:

and so the comparison t-statistic is:

H. The t-statistic (t*) is now compared with
				  the comparison t-statistic (tc) using the following
				  decision-rule:
(1) If t* is equal to or
				  larger than tc, then conclude that there most likely has
				  been a significant increase in this specific parameter;
(2) If t* is less than
				  tc, then conclude that most likely there has not been a
				  change in this specific parameter.
