In addition, please find scans 1 & 2. They are the June 8, 2007 letter I received from the NJDEP in regards to the PFOA/PFOS sampling recommendations. I sampled for 4 quarters as recommended. Can you tell me whether I should continue to sample for the noted parameters or stop at this point? I appreciate your input.

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 (N D ) results have been evaluated down to the Method Detection Limit (M DL) 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 o f the laboratory. Sam ple A rrival and R eceipt The following report contains the analytical results for one sample received 4/4/08, according to documented sample acceptance procedures. The sample was received in good condition at a temperature of 2.3C . No anomalies were encountered during sample receipt. S ta n d a rd s Analytical standards were prepared using the acid form o f the compound perfluorooctanoic add (PFOA). PFOS is a commercial prepared and certified solution. Perfluoro-n-[1,2,3.4-,3C4]octanoic add was introduced a t the extraction step and was used as an internal standard for quantitation of PFOA. Perfluoro-1-[1,2,3,4-13C4]octanatesulfonate was introduced at the extraction step and was used as an internal standard for quantitation of PFOS. Sam ple Extraction and A nalysis The sample presented in this report was analyzed for the target analyte by TestAmerica Denver's SO P DEN-LC-0Q12A. For water samples a 250 mL aliquot of each sample is addified with 1 mL of 6N HCi solution and it is extracted using solid phase extraction technique with methanol conditioned C l 8 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. M ethod QC Sam ples 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 at the reporting limit. Each batch is prepared with a Laboratory Control Sample (LCS). The recoveries o f two concentration levels of Laboratory Control Samples were within control limits. TestAm erica DEP2-SDWB-000280 A nalytical Com m ents The Standard Operating Procedure (SO P) was altered slightly for these samples in the sample prep and LC conditions. The alterations are listed below. Sample Prep Differences: The samples were prepped following the normal procedure for SO P D EN-LC-0012, Revision 4 up until section 10.1.3.10. These samples were not acidified and a W aters Oasis W ax column was used instead of a Phenomenex Strata X column. The samples were rinsed 2 times with 6 mL o f formic add solution instead of HPLC grade water, which differs from section 10.1.3.19. The formic acid solution is propped by diluting 2.225 mL of 88% formic ad d to 100 mL with water. Section 10.1.3.20 was altered by adding 4 mL of 1% ammonium hydroxide in methanol to each cartridge instead of 4 mL of methanol. No other anomalies were observed.
