The samples presented in this report were analyzed for the parameters listed on the methods summary page in accordance with the methods indicated. Dilution factors and footnotes are provided on each datasheet to assist in the interpretation of the results. The results relate only to the samples in this report and meet all requirements of NELAC. All data have been reviewed for compliance with the laboratory QA/QC plan and have found to be compliant with laboratory protocols with any exceptions noted below. Please note that Non-Detect (ND) results have been evaluated down to the Method Detection Limit (MDL) and should be considered ND at the MDL. Unless otherwise noted, results for solids have been dry weight corrected. This report shall not be reproduced except in full, without the written approval of the laboratory. Sample Arrival and Receipt The following report contains the analytical results for one sample received 9/6/07, according to documented sample acceptance procedures. The sample was received in good condition at a temperature of 18.9C. Although the sample was received outside the preferred 2-6C temperature, no storage temperature has been defined for these analytes. No other anomalies were encountered during sample receipt. Standards Analytical standards were prepared using the acid form of the compound perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). PFOS is a commercial prepared and certified solution. Perfluoro-n-[1,2,3,4-13C4]octanoic acid was introduced at the extraction step and was used as an internal standard for quantitation of PFOA. Perf!uoro-1-[1,2,3,4-13C4]octanatesulfonate was introduced at the extraction step and was used as an internal standard for quantitation of PFOS. Sample Extraction and Analysis The samples presented in this report were analyzed for the target analyte by TestAmerica Denver's SOP DEN-LC-OOt 2A. For water samples a 250 mL aliquot of each sample is acidified with 1 mL of 6N HCI solution and it is extracted using solid phase extraction technique with methanol conditioned C18 cartridges. Each sample is spiked with the internal standard, prior to extraction. After the sample is passed through the cartridge, the analytes are eluted with 4 mL of methanol. The final volume is brought to 5 mL using methanol and the extract is analyzed by LC/MS/MS. Method QC Samples The Method Blank is processed reagent water spiked with surrogate and prepared with each batch of 20 samples of the same matrix. The method blank was non-detect for the target analytes at the reporting limits. 2 DEP2-SDWB-000025 Each batch is prepared with a Laboratory Control Sample (LCS). The recoveries of two concentration levels of Laboratory Control Samples were within control limits. The internal standard recovery for 13C4 PFOS in the mid-level LCS was below the lower control limit. No corrective action was necessary as the control limits for this internal standard are still being established. Analytical Comments The sample G1 ELMWOOD PARK PUMP STATION was analyzed in duplicate. The internal standard recovery for 13C4 PFOS was below the lower control limit in the duplicate sample but it was in control in the parent sample. No corrective action was necessary as the control limits for this internal standard are still being established. The RPD (relative percent difference) was outside control limits for the PFOS results. This may indicate some variability in this result. The MS/MSD was performed on sample G1 ELMWOOD PARK PUMP STATION. The matrix spike and surrogate spike recoveries were in control. No other anomalies were observed. 3 DEP2-SDWB-000026 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - Detection Highlights D7I060300 PARAMETER RESULT REPORTING ANALYTICAL LIMIT UNITS ____ METHOD G1 ELMWOOD PARK PUMP STATION 09/05/07 08:40 001 PFOS PFOA 0.029 0.040 0.010 0.015 ug/L ug/L DEN -LC-0012 DEN -LC-0012 4 DEP2-SDWB-000027 METHODS SUMMARY D7I060300 ANALYTICAL PREPARATION PARAMETER_________________________________________ METHOD_________ METHOD_____ LC/MS/MS, PFOA DEN -LC-0012 References: DEN Severn Trent Laboratores, Denver, Facility Standard Operating Procedure. 5 DEP2-SDWB-000028 METHOD / ANALYST SUMMARY D7I060300 ANALYTICAL METHOD ANALYST DEN -LC-0012 Jaqueline Bonnett References: DEN Severn Trent Laboratores, Denver, Facility Standard Operating Procedure.
