2.1 Method s
Analysis was completed following 3M Environmental Laboratory method ETS 8-11 .0"Determ!nation of C4 - C8 Highly Fluorinated Adds, Alcohols, Amides, and Sutonates in Water by High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry' and ETS-8-154 .1 Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates In Water by Solid Phase Extraction and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry" . ETS-8-154 .1 is currently on the laboratory's scope of accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:1999 . ET"-1 1,0 is not currently on the laboratory's scope of accreditation .
2 .2 Sample Collectio n
Samples were collected in Nalgene7'"' (low-density polyethylene) bottles prepared at the 3M Environmental Laboratory. Prior to sample collection, bottles designated for field matrix spikes were
spiked in the laboratory with a known volume of an appropriate matrix spiking solution containing the analytes of interest . Collected sample bottles were returned to the iaboratory at ambient conditions on May 12, 2006.
2 .3 Sample Preparation PFBA Analysis :
All samples, calibration standards, and associated quality control samples were prepared using method ETS 8-11 .0 "Determination of C4 - Co Highly Fluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates in
Water by High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry". Briefly, aqueous samples and calibrations standards were prepared for analysis by diluting the samples 1 :1 using a 10-mM ammoniurn hydroxide in methanol solution . This method is currently not on the laboratory's scope of accreditation to ISOfIEC 17025:1999 .
NFPA, PFHA, PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS Analysis : An samples, calibration standards, and associated quality control samples were extracted using a modified procedure of ETS-8-154 .1 . Briefly, 40 mL of sample were loaded onto a pre-conditioned Waters C18 solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge (Sep-Pak, 1 .0 g, 6 cc) using a vacuum marufold . The loaded SPE cartridges were then eluted with 5 mL of methanol . This extraction procedure concentrates the samples by a factor of eight. (Initial volume = 40 mL, final volume = 5 mL) . Lab control spikes extracted in the same manner cross-validate all the method modifications/deviations from ETS-8-154 .1 . See Section 3 .6 for additional information .
Modifications from ETS-8-1 54 .1 that were used for this analysis : Samples were not extracted in duplicate as samples were collected in duplicate in the field_ Extraction columns were not rinsed with 40% methanol after sample loading . After loading the sample onto the column, and just prior to eluting the column with methanol, vacuum was applied for approximateiy 5 minutes to remove as much sample as possible .

3 . 1 Calibration
PFBA Analysis :
Calibration standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of stock solutions containing the target analytes into 2 mL of ASTM type I water . A T5OuL aliquot of each water standard was then transferred to an autosampier vial . Subsequently, a 750u.L aliquot of a 10mM ammonium hydroxide in methanol solution was added to the vial . Ten spiked standards ranging from 0 .025 ng/mL to 10 nglmL (nominal) were prepared . After dilution, the nominal concentration of each analyte in the vial was 0 .0125 nglmL to 5.0 nglmL, Quadratic, IN weighted, calibration curves were used to fit the data for each analyte_
NFPA, PFHA PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS Analysis :
Calibration standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of stock solutions containing the analyles of interest into 40 mL of ASTM type I water. Each spiked water standard was then extracted in the same manner as the collected samples . A total of eleven spiked standards ranging from 0 .025 ng/mL to 10 ng/mL (nominal) were prepared . A quadratic, 1/x weighted, calibration curve was used to fit the data for each analyte . The data were not forced through zero during the fitting process . Calculating the standard concentration using the peak area counts and the resultant calibration curve
confirmed accuracy of each curve point.
Each curve point was quantitated using the overall calibration curve and reviewed for accuracy .
Method calibration accuracy requirements of 10025% (10030% for the lowest curve point) were met . The correlation coefficients (r) were greater than 0 .999 for each analyte .
The analytes PFBA, NFPA, and PFFIA were initially dissolved in acetonitrie before being further diluted into an intermediate standard solution . This is a deviation for ETS-8-154 .1 which specifies that analytes should be dissolved In Methanol . This deviation has no adverse affect on the sample results .
3 .2 Limit of Quantitation (LOQ )
The LOQ for this analysis, as defined in methods ETS-8-11 .0 and ETS-8-154 .1, is the lowest non-zero calibration standard in the curve that meets linearity and accuracy requirements and which the area counts are at least twice those of the appropriate blanks . The nominal LOQ for PFBA was 0.050ng/mL . The nominal LOQ for NFPA, PFHA, PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS was 0-025ng/mL. .

3.3 System Suitability
PFBA Analysis : The 5ng/mL calibration standard was analyzed in triplicate at the beginning and end of the analytical sequence to demonstrate overall system suitability . Method acceptance criteria of less than 5% relative standard deviation (RSD) for peak area and less than 2% RSD for retention time for both opening and closing system suitability injections were met.
NFPA, PFHA, PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS Analysis : The 1 .0 ng1mL extracted-calibration standard was analyzed five times at the beginning and end of the analytical sequence to demonstrate overall system suitability . All compounds met the acceptance criteria of less than 5% relative standard deviation (RSD) for peak area and less than 2% RSD for retention time for the opening and closing system suitability injections with exception of NFPA and PFOA. The RSD for the area counts for the closing system suitability for NFPA was 6 .2% and 6 .9% for PFOA. As laboratory control samples and field matrix spikes are used to qualify the samples results, any instrument variability that may have occurred would be accounted for with these samples .
3 .4 Continuing Calibration PFBA Analysis : During the course of the analytical sequence, several continuing calibration verification samples (CCVs) were analyzed to confirm that the instrument response and the initial curve were still in control . These CCVs were re-injections of two different concentrations of calibration standards from the first calibration curve (curve not used for quantitation) that were quantitated against the second curve (used for quantitation). All CCVs for PFBA met method criteria .
NFPA, PFHA, PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS Analysis : During the course of the analytical sequence, several continuing calibration verification samples (CCVs) were analyzed to confirm that the instrument response and the initial calibration curve were still in control . One CCV level for PFHA analyzed twice during the course of the run had recoveries of 129% and 131 %, which did not meet method criteria of 10025% . All other CCVs met method criteria.
3 .5 Blank s Three types of blanks were prepared and analyzed with the samples : method blanks, solvent blanks, and field/trip blanks . Each blank result was reviewed and used to evaluate method performance to determine the LOQ for each analyte _
3 .6 Lab Control Spikes (LCSs) PFBA Analysis : Low and high lab control spikes were prepared and analyzed in triplicate . LCSs were prepared by spiking known amounts of the analytes into 2 mL of ASTM Type I water and prepared exactly like the samples and standards . LCS results were be used to determine overall method uncertainty in Section 3 .7 .
NFPA, PFHA, PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS Analysis : Low and high lab control spikes were prepared and analyzed in triplicate . LCSs were prepared by spiking known amounts of the analytes into 40 ml- of ASTM Type I water to produce the desired concentration . The spiked water samples were then extracted and analyzed in the same manner as the samples . Analysis of triplicate LCSs at the two specified levels cross-validates the analytical method as used here for any modifications/deviations from ETS 8-1541 . Additionally, LCS results were used to determine overall method uncertainty in Section 3 .7 . The RSD for the six LCS prepared for PFHA was 19%, which did not meet method acceptance criteria of <15% .
The following calculations were used to generate data in Table 5.

3.7 Analytical Method Uncertainty
Both the accuracy (percent recovery) and precision (%RSD) of the lab control spikes were used to estimate the overall method's analytical uncertainty for a given analyte. For example, if the overatl accuracy and precision for PFOS based on LCS results was 99 .9~05.4% . The measured precision (%RSD) is then used to determine the range of the accuracy .
Example: 99 .9*(0 .054) = 5.4 99 .9+5.4=105.3 ;99 .9--5.4=94 . 5
Thus, LCS accuracy results range from 94 .5% to 105.3% . The absolute differelice of the low and high ends of this range, when compared to 100%, are then calculated .
100%-105.3= 5.3% 1001/6-94-5 = 5 .5% .
The most conservative (largest) absolute difference is then used as the analytical uncertainty for the given analyte .

3.8 Field Matrix Spikes (FMS)
Low and high field matrix spikes were collected at each sampling point to verify that the analytical method is applicable to the collected matrix. Field matrix spikes are generated by adding a measured volume of field sample to a container spiked by the laboratory with the target analytes prior to shipping sarnpte containers for sample collection . Field matrix spike recoveries within method acceptance criteria of 10030% confirm that "unknown" components in the sample matrix do not significantly interfere with the extraction and analysis of the analytes of interest . Field matrix spikes are presented in section 4 of this report.

Laboratory control spikes were used to determine the analytical method accuracy and precision for all
anatytes . The accuracy and precision were then used to estimate the method uncertainty for the results . Field matrix spike recoveries demonstrated that the analytical method was appropriate for the given sample matrix . Analysis was successfully completed folbwing 3M Environmental Laboratory method ETS 8-11 .0 "Determination of C4 - Ca Highly Fluorinated Acids, Alcohols . Amides, and Sulfonates in Water by High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectnometry .~qnd ETS-8154 .1 'Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Salfonates in Water by Solid Phase Extraction and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry" . Analytical
results are reported in Table 1 of this report look
