OVERVIEW
Case 34031, Sample Delivery Groups (SDGs) MC0072 and MCOOH2, consisted of forty (40) soilsamples analyzed for total metals and cyanide (GST) by Chemtech Consulting Group (CHEM).The sample set contained no field Quality Control (QC) samples. Samples were analyzed inaccordance with Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) Statement of Work (SOW) ILM05.3through Routine Analytical Services (RAS) program.
SUMMARY
All samples were successfully analyzed for all Target Analyte List (TAL) parameters. Areas ofconcern with respect to data usability are listed below.
Data in this case have been impacted by outliers present in the laboratory blanks as well as thematrix spike, laboratory duplicate and serial dilution analyses. Details of these outliers arediscussed under "Minor Problems"; specific samples affected are outlined in "Table 1 A" andqualified analytical results for all samples are summarized on the Data Summary Forms (DSFs).

MINOR PROBLEMS
Continuing Calibration (CCB) and/or Preparation (PB) Blanks had reported results greater thanthe Method Detection Limits (MDLs) for the analytes listed below. Positive results reported inaffected samples which are less than or equal to five times (^5X) the blank concentrations maybe biased high and have been qualified "B" on the DSFs.
CCBs and/or PBs had negative values greater than the absolute value of the MDL regarding theanalyte listed below. Positive results reported in affected samples which are less than two times(<2X) the absolute value of the blank concentrations may be biased low. The "L" qualifier forthese outliers have been superseded by "J" on the DSFs. Quantitation limits in affected samplesmay be biased low and have been qualified "UL" on the DSFs.
SPG Affected AnalvtesMC0072 silver (Ag)MCOOH2 Ag
Matrix spike recoveries were low (<75% but >30%) for antimony (Sb) in both SDGs as well asfor As in SDG MC0072. Low recoveries may be attributed to matrix interferences or analyte lostduring the digestion process. Positive results reported for these analytes in affected samples inthese SDGs may be biased low. The "L" qualifier for these outliers has been superseded by "J"on the DSFs. Quantitation limits for Sb in affected samples in both SDGs may be biased low andhave been qualified "UL" on the DSFs.
B
The Relative Percent Difference (RPD) for the laboratory duplicate analysis was outside controllimits (35% RPD, ±2XCRDL) for copper (Cu) in SDG MC0072. Positive results reported forthis analyte in this SDG are estimated and have been qualified "J" on the DSFs.
Percent Differences (%Ds) for the TCP serial dilution analysis were outside control limits (>10%)for aluminum (Al), As, magnesium (Mg), nickel (Ni) and potassium (K) in SDG MC0072.Positive results reported for these analytes in this SDG are estimated due to possible matrixinterferences and have been qualified "J" on the DSFs.
117913
Page 3 of 4
NOTES
Reported results between MDLs and Contract Required Quantitation Limits (CRQLs) werequalified "J" on the DSFs unless superseded by "B".
RPDs for the laboratory duplicate analysis were outside contractual control limits (20% RPD,±CRQL) for Al, As and chromium (Cr) in SDG MCOOH2. However, RPDs for these analyteswere within Region 3 established control limits (35% RPD, ±2XCRQL) for soil analysis. Nodata were qualified for these analytes in this SDG based on laboratory duplicate imprecision.
In both SDGs, one (1) of the CRQL check standard recoveries (CRI02) in the second analyticalrun for mercury (Hg) was low (<70%). Therefore, the laboratory reanalyzed the CRQL checkstandard as CRI03, which was inside the control limits. No data were qualified based on thisrinding.
In SDG MC0072, one (1) of the CRQL check standard recoveries (CRI02) in the third analyticalrun for Hg was high (>130%). Therefore, the laboratory reanalyzed the CRQL check standard asCRI03, which was inside the control limits. No data were qualified based on this finding.
The following samples in SDG MC0072 were reanalyzed at the dilutions listed below for Hg inorder to bring concentrations within the linear range of the instrument. Results for this analyte inthese samples were reported from the diluted analyses, annotated with a "+" on the DSFs andnoted below.
Sample ID Dilution FactorMC0087 2.0MC0098 5.0

GLOSSARY OF DATA QUALIFIER CODES (INORGANIC)
CODES RELATED TO IDENTIFICATION(confidence concerning presence or absence of analytes):
U = Not detected. The associated number indicates approximate sampleconcentration necessary to be detected.
(NO CODE) = Confirmed identification.
B = Not detected substantially above the level reported in laboratory or fieldblanks.
R =• Unreliable result. Analyte may or may not be present in the sample.Supporting data necessary to confirm result.
CODES RELATED TO OUANTITATION(can be used for both positive results and sample quantitation limits):
J = Analyte Present. Reported value may not be accurate or precise.
K = Analyte present. Reported value may be biased high. Actual value isexpected to be lower.
L = Analyte present. Reported value may be biased low. Actual value is expectedto be higher.
UJ = Not detected, quantitation limit may be inaccurate or imprecise.

Issue 1: SMO can provide trans-shipment information to the lab.Issue 2: No, SMO should not ask the lab to change CO 125 to MC0125. A memo to file from fieldpersonnel will clarify this issue. The lab will use CO 125 as sample ED when reporting results or SMOcan provide a new CLP sample ED number.Issue 3: Yes, the lab should only analyze for total metals.

SMO received trans-shipment information for issue 1 from the sampler, however the sampler indicatedthat the other two issues would be resolved at a later date.
• Issue 1) Is it acceptable for SMO to send on the trans-shipment information?• Issue 2) Should SMO direct the inorganic laboratory to report sample C0125 as MC0125?• Issue 3) Should the laboratory only analyze the soil samples that were listed for TM and DM for
TM analysis (i.e., DM analysis is cancelled)?
Issue 1: The lab received organic samples along with their inorganic shipment. The lab receivedsamples C0068-COOC1 (on 2 TR's). Please provide an address and billing information if the samplesshould be trans-shipped.Resolution 1: Per Region 3, the Tetra Tech air bill voucher number for the organic samples mistakenly sent to CHEMthat require transshipment is: 0191-2082-1. The samples should be sent to the following address:

The field pe-sonnel will be contacted. The lab should proceed with the analysis of samples anddocument all issues in the case narrative. Kyle and Tad, .
There are more issues which need your attention:Issue 1: The lab received organic samples that may have to be trans-shipped. We will need air billvoucher.Issue 2: MC0125 listed on the TR/COC as sample CO 125. Need a memo to file for clarification.IssueS: Soil samples on the TR/COC are listed as for total and dissolved metals analysis. Need a memoto file for clarification.

Mike,
The Following samples Lab found for Case# 34031:
lssue#1: Lab Received Organic samples along w/ Inorganic samples. .
lssue#2: Incomplete sample ID on TR as C0125 (for Station Location: BJS-SDMON2C3-0405)

Subject: Region 03 | Case 34031 | Lab CHEM | Issue Insufficient/inappropri ate designation .f laboratory QC
Hi Parveen:
Following is the resolution to the issue below:
Issue: The TR did not designate samples for laboratory QC for a few SDGs. The lab would like to choosesamples MC0141, MCOOA1, and MC0180 for this purpose.
Resolution: In accordance with previous direction frorn Region 3, for both Inorganic and Organic Multi-Media samples, the.laboratory will select a sample for laboratory QC as long as the sample is not a PE, blank,or rinsate sample. The laboratory will note the issue in the Case/SDG Narrative, notify the SMO coordinatorof the sample selected for laboratory QC, and proceed with the analysis of the samples.
SMO will note that the lab chose samples MC0141, MCOOA1, and MC0180 for laboratory QC. Pleaseindicate which SDG each of these samples is assigned to for laboratory QC.
thanks,Mike

Issue 1: SMO can provide trans-shipment information to the lab.Issue 2: No, SMO should not ask the lab to change C0125 to MC0125. A memo to file from fieldpersonnel wjll clarify this issue. The lab will use CO 125 as sample ED when reporting results or SMOcan provide a new CLP sample ID number.Issue 3: Yes, the lab should only analyze for total metals.

• Issue 1) Is it acceptable for SMO to send on the trans-shipment information?• Issue 2) Should SMO direct the inorganic laboratory to report sample CO 125 as MC0125?• Issue 3) Should the laboratory only analyze the soil samples that were listed for TM and DM for
TM analysis (i.e., DM analysis is cancelled)?
