After fortification of appropriate samples, the samples were loaded onto a Cis SPE cartridge conditioned with 10 mL of methanol and 5 mL of water. The eluate was discarded. Approximately five milliliters of methanol was added to the cartridge. Five milliliters of eluate was collected into a graduated 15 mL polypropylene centrifuge tube. Each sample was analyzed by LC/MS/MS electrospray. 6.2 Extraction Procedure For Sludge Before the samples were weighed for the extraction, they were mixed thoroughly by vigorously shaking the sample container. A 5-gram portion of sludge was weighed into a fifty-milliliter centrifuge tube for the extraction. After fortification of appropriate samples, 5 mL of methanol was added to the samples. The samples were allowed to shake on a wrist action shaker for ~15 minutes and were then sonicated in an ultrasonic bath for -15 minutes. The volume was taken to 40 mL with water and the samples were then centrifuged for -10 minutes at -3000 rpm. The supernatant was then loaded onto a C]8 SPE cartridge conditioned with 10 mL of methanol and 5 mL of water. The eluate was discarded. Approximately five milliliters of methanol was added to the cartridge. Five milliliters of eluate was collected into a graduated 15 mL polypropylene centrifuge tube. Each sample was analyzed by LC/MS/MS electrospray. 6.3 Percent Solids Procedure For Sludge Percent solids were determined using the procedure indicated in Exygen method V0000427-3. Approximately 20 grams of sample was weighed into a pan. The weight of the sample plus the pan was recorded. The sample was then dried in an oven overnight at 104 1 C. Then the samples were transferred to a dessicator and allowed to cool for -15 minutes. Each sample was then weighed again, including the weight of the pan. The percent solid for each sample was then calculated. See Table V for percent solids results.

The stock standard solutions were prepared at a concentration of 100 pg/mL by dissolving 10 mg of each of the standards (corrected for purity and salt content) in methanol. From these solutions, mixed 1.0 pg/mL fortification standard solutions were prepared by taking 1 mL of each of the appropriate stock solutions and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with methanol. By taking 10 mL of the mixed 1.0 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with methanol, a mixed 0.1 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared. By taking 10 mL of the mixed 0.1 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with methanol, a mixed 0.01 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared. A mixed stock standard solution of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS was also prepared. The stock standard solution was prepared at a concentration of 1000 pg/mL by dissolving 100 mg of each of the standards (corrected for purity and salt content, if necessary) in methanol. From this solutions, a 100 pg/mL fortification standard solution was prepared by taking 10 mL of the stock and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with methanol. By taking 10 mL of the 100 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with methanol, a 10 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared. By taking 10 mL of the 10 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with methanol, a 1.0 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared. By taking 10 mL of the 1.0 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with methanol, a 0.1 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared. By taking 10 mL of the 0.1 pg/mL fortification standard and bringing the volume up to 100 mL with methanol, a 0.01 pg/mL fortification standard was prepared A set of standards containing PFBS, PFHS and PFOS was prepared in water and processed through the extraction procedure, identical to samples.

Documentation of standard preparation is located in the raw data package associated with this interim report. 6.5 Chromatography Quantification of PFBS, PFHS and PFOS was accomplished by LC/MS/MS electrospray. The retention times of PFBS, PFHS and PFOS were ~ 0.6 mins, ~ 10.5 mins, and ~ 12.8 mins, respectively. Peaks above the LOD were not detected in any of the reagent blank samples corresponding to the analyte retention time. 6.6 Instrument Sensitivity The smallest standard amount injected during the chromatographic run had a concentration of 25 ng/L of PFBS, PFHS and PFOS. 6.7 Description of LC/MS/MS Instrument and Operating Conditions Instrument: Interface: Computer: Software: HPLC: API 4000 Biomolecular Mass Analyzer Turbo Ion Spray Liquid Introduction Interface DELL OptiPlex GX400 Windows NT, Analyst 1.4.1 Hewlett Packard (HP) Series 1100 HP Quat Pump HP Vacuum Degasser HP Autosampler HP Column Oven HPLC Column: Thermo Fluophase RP, 50 mm x 2.1 mm Column Temp.: 30 C Injection Voi.: 15 pL Mobile Phase (A): 2 mM Ammonium Acetate in water Mobile Phase (B): Methanol Time (mini 0.0 1.0 8.0 10.0 11.0 18.0 Total run time: ~18 min Flow Rate: 0.3 mL/min %A 65 65 25 25 65 65 %B 35 35 75 75 35 35 Exygen Research Amendment Number 1 Page 16 o f 112 Interim Report #11 - Analysis o f Water, Wastewater, and Sludge Samples Ions monitored: Analvte PFBS PFHS PFOS Mode negative negative negative Exygen Study No.: P0001131 Transition Monitored 299 99 399 -> 80 499 -> 80 Approximate Retention Time (min) -0.6 min. -10.5 min. -12.8 min. 6.8 Quantitation and Example Calculation Fifteen microliters of sample or calibration standard were injected into the LC/MS/MS. The peak area was measured and the standard curve was generated (using 1/x fit weighted linear regression) by Analyst software using six concentrations of standards. The concentration was determined from the equations below. Equation 1 calculated the amount of analyte found (in ng/L, based on peak area) using the standard curve (linear regression parameters) generated by the Analyst software program. Equation 1: Analyte found (ng/L) = (Peak area - intercept! x DF Slope Where: DF = Dilution Factor, factor by which the final volume was diluted, if necessary. For samples fortified with known amounts of PFBS, PFHS and PFOS prior to extraction, Equation 2 was used to calculate the percent recovery. Equation 2: Recovery (%) = (analyte found (ng/L) - analyte in corresponding sample (ng/L)) xl00% amount added (ng/L) Equation 3 was used to convert the amount of analyte found in ng/L to ng/g (ppb) for the sludge samples. Equation 3: Analyte found (ppb, wet weight) = iAnalvte found (ng/L! x volume extracted (0.04L)1 sample weight (5 g) Exygen Research Amendment Number 1 Page 17 o f 112 Interim Report #11 - Analysis o f Water, Wastewater, and Sludge Samples Exygen Study No.: P0001131 Equation 4 was then used to calculate the amount of analyte found in ppb based on dry weight for the sludge samples. Equation 4: Analyte found (ppb) dry weight = Analyte found (ppb, wet) x [100% / total solids(%)] An example of a calculation using an actual sample follows (calculation is for PFOS only): Water sample Exygen ID: C0070099 Spk D (Set: 070105A), fortified at 1000 ng/L with PFHS where: peak area = 25035 intercept = 814 slope = 248 dilution factor = 10 ng/L PFOA added (fort level) = 1000 amt in corresponding sample = ND (Not Detected) From equation 1: Analyte found (ng/L) = [25035 - 8141 x 10 248 From equation 2: % Recovery 977 ng/L (977 ne/L-Ong/L) x 100% 1000 ng/L = 98% 7.0 EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN For water samples designated as field matrix spikes, PFBS, PFHS and PFOS were added at a known concentration to the bottles in the laboratory before being shipped to the field. The samples were filled to a 200 mL volumetric fill line in the field. The water samples were extracted in three sets. Each set included one reagent blank and two reagent blanks fortified at known concentrations. Each water set contained one sample site along with the field blank and field blank spikes collected for the ground water samples. For each site, a sample, a field duplicate and two matrix field spikes were collected and extracted. For each site, a laboratory duplicate was extracted and two laboratory matrix spikes were also extracted. Two sludge samples, consisting of a field sample and a field duplicate, were received representing one sample site. The sludge Exygen Research Amendment Number 1 Page 18 o f 112 Interim Report #11- Analysis o f Water, Wastewater, and Sludge Samples Exygen Study No.: P0001131 samples were extracted in two sets, one of which was a re-extraction set. Each set included one reagent blank and two reagent blanks fortified at known concentrations. For each sludge sample, a laboratory duplicate and two laboratory matrix spikes were also extracted. In the re-extraction set only one spike and one aliquot of sample was analyzed due to low sample volume. 8.0 RESULTS Analytical results for the analysis of PFBS, PFHS and PFOS found in public water and wastewater samples are summarized in Table I.

ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE SUMMARY References: V0001780: "Method o f Analysis for the Determination o f Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in Water by LC/MS/MS" V0001781: "Method o f Analysis for the Determination o f Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in Soil by LC/MS/MS" V0001782: "Method o f Analysis for the Determination o f Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in Sediment by LC/MS/MS" V0001783: "Method o f Analysis for the Determination o f Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in Fish and Clams by LC/MS/MS" V0001784: "Method o f Analysis for the Determination o f Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in Vegetation by LC/MS/MS" V0001785: "Method o f Analysis for the Determination o f Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in Small Mammal Liver by LC/MS/MS" V0001786: "Method o f Analysis for the Determination o f Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in Small Mammal Serum by LC/MS/MS" The above methods use analytical conditions capable o f separating the isomers o f PFBS, PFHS and PFOS. The final report will include the isomers summed into total PFBS, total PFHS, and total PFOS found. VERIFICATION OF ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE A laboratory control sample will be used for the preparation o f fortified control samples. The test substance will be made into solutions as per the method, and added to the matrices via a micropipette. For water sampling, Exygen will supply one bottle per sample collected. The bottles will be 500 mL precleaned Sci/Spec Premier wide mouth HDPE bottles. These bottles have been routinely used for fluorochemical sample Page 9 o f 65 Exygen Research Amendment Number 1 Page 53 o f 112 Interim Report #11 - Analysis o f Water, Wastewater, and Sludge Samples Exygen Study No.: P0001131 /" > Exygen Protocol Number; POOO1131 collection at the testing facility and have been shown to be free o f PFBS, PFHS and PFOS. Samples will be added to each container to a volumetric fill line at 200 mL. A field duplicate, a low field spike and a high field spike o f each sample will be collected. The low and high field spike bottles will contain PFBS, PFHS and PFOS as well as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and 1.2-13C perfluorooctanoic acid ( 13C PFOA). PFOA and l3C PFOA are included in the solutions used to spike the samples. The results for PFOA and l3C PFOA will not be reported in this study. Exygen will supply one field blank (control water) and two field blank spikes (control water fortified with PFBS, PFHS and PFOS at a low and high level) for every twenty samples collected. At the testing facility, each water sample (excluding field duplicates and field spikes) will be extracted in duplicate and will also be fortified at a low and high concentration with PFBS, PFHS and PFOS and processed through the described procedure to determine method accuracy and to check for bias. For soil, sediment, clams, and vegetation, Exygen will supply one 500 mL precleaned Sci/Spec Premier wide mouth HDPE bottle per sample collected or a zip-seal bag. All containers/bags used for sample collection will be shipped to the sample location. Samples will be added to each container or bag in the field. At the testing facility, each sample will be extracted in duplicate and w ill also be fortified at a known concentration with PFBS, PFHS and PFOS at both a low and high level and processed through the described procedure to determine method accuracy and to check for bias. For small mammal liver, Exygen will supply a 50 mL polypropylene centrifuge tube. For small mammal serum, Exygen w ill supply a collection kit for each sample containing serum separator tubes (red top), vacutainers, needle holders and needles, transfer pipettes, and polypropylene tubes. At the testing facility, each liver and serum sample will be extracted in duplicate and will also be fortified at a known concentration with PFBS, PFHS and PFOS at both a low and high level and processed through the described procedure to determine method accuracy and to check for bias.
