(b) Each batch of samples
				submitted to the lab by the ESP shall include, at a minimum, unknown spiked
				samples, field blanks, and field duplicates (side-by-side) at a frequency of
				10% of total samples for each type. Unknown spiked samples and field blanks
				shall be made using the same media as used for sampling, in identical sample
				containers so that no features of the spiked or blank samples can be
				distinguished from field samples. Unknown spiked samples shall contain an
				amount of target compound between 10% and 1000% of the AL. The amount shall be
				known only to the ESP. Field blanks shall be prepared in the assessment
				structure in the same manner as field samples without contacting the media to
				any surface. The field QC samples shall be kept confidential from the lab by
				either reporting no area for any sample or reporting a standard area for QC
				samples.

				include locations that indicated failure as well as additional locations that
				were not previously sampled.
(e) If
				clearance sample data indicates that some part(s) of a structure are in
				compliance with the AL (or AL-LAA as applicable) and some are not, the
				following procedures may be used:
1) The
				whole structure may be re-cleaned and entirely re-tested.
2) The rooms or areas where clearance data
				indicates compliance may be sealed off from the rest of the structure, provided
				that egress during remediation does not require any re-entry to those areas,
				and the non-compliant areas may be re-cleaned and re-tested.
