1.0 SUMMARY
Exygen Research extracted and analyzed soil samples for the determination of perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) according to Exygen Method V0001781 and water samples for the determination of perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) according to Exygen Method V0001780 (Appendix A).
Seventeen of the analyzed soil samples were not reported (NR) for PFBS and six of the analyzed soil samples were not reported (NR) for PFHS due to quality control failure. These samples failed for unknown reasons. Fifty-two of the analyzed soil samples were not reported (NR) for PFOS due to quality control failure. Forty-five of the fifty-two samples failed because the spikes were too low relative to the endogenous level in the sample to allow assessment of matrix interference. Seven of the fifty-two samples failed for unknown reasons. Additional analytical work was performed to provide quantitative results for these fifty-two samples.
The limit of quantitation for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in soil was 0.2 ng/g. The LOQ provided is assuming wet weight values and the results for the actual samples are reported based on dry weight.
The limit of quantitation for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in water 25 ng/L.
Analytical results and assessed accuracies for the analysis of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in soil samples based on dry weight are summarized in Table I. Analytical results and assessed accuracies for the analysis of PFOS in re-extracted soil samples based on dry weight are summarized in Table II. Analytical results and assessed accuracies for the analysis of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in water samples are summarized in Table III. To assess the accuracy of the results, the matrix spikes were used. Matrix spikes that were in the appropriate concentration range (primary concentration has to be than or equal to three times the spiking level) were used to calculate the assessed accuracies. When the field matrix spikes were not available or failed to meet recovery criteria, the laboratory spikes were used. Note that several recovery percentages are marked as an asterisk. These samples were found to have analyte concentrations three times or greater than that of the given spiking level. Quantitative results were obtained for all samples and analytes except for PFBS in seventeen samples, PFHS for six samples, and PFOS in seven samples that are not reported due to quality control failures.
Fortification recoveries for the analysis of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in soil samples based on wet weight are summarized in Table IV. The overall average percent recovery standard deviation for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in soil samples based on wet weight were 111 25%, 86 8%, and 88 16%, respectively. Fortification recoveries for the analysis of PFOS in re-extracted soil samples based on wet weight are summarized in

Table V. The overall average percent recovery standard deviation for PFOS in re extracted soil samples based on wet weight was 94 23%. Fortification recoveries for the analysis of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in water samples are summarized in Table VI. The overall average percent recovery standard deviation for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in water samples were 97 6%, 94 4%, and 86 + 4%, respectively.
The total percent solids for soil samples are detailed in Table VII.

6.0 DESCRIPTION OF ANALYTICAL METHOD
The analytical methods "V0001781: Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in Soil by LC/MS/MS" and "V0001780: Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in Water by LC/MS/MS" were used for this study.
6.1. Extraction Procedure For Soil
Before the samples were weighed for the extraction, they were placed into a new, clean Ziploc bag and mixed thoroughly. The samples were then transferred back to the sampling container. A 5-gram portion of soil 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 m inutes at --3000 rpm. The supernatant w as then loaded onto a Cig 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 Percent Solids Procedure For Soil
Percent solids were determined using the procedure indicated in Exygen method V0000427. Approximately 20 grams of sample was weighed into a pan. The weight of the sample plus the pan was recorded. The samples was then dried in an oven overnight at 104 2 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 VII for percent solids results.

6.3 Extraction Procedure for Water
A 40 mL aliquot of the water sample was used for the extraction procedure. After fortification of appropriate samples, the samples were loaded onto a Cig 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.
6.4 Preparation of Standards and Fortification Solutions
A mixed stock standard solution of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS was prepared at a concentration of 1000 pg/mL by dissolving 100 mg of each of the standards (corrected for purity and salt content) in 100 mL of methanol. From this solution, the following fortification standards were prepared:

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, except in a few cases of PFBS, where only five were used; as the 500 ng/L standard results were rejected as outliers. The concentration was determined from the following equations.
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 control (ne/L)) xl00% amount added (ng/L)
Equation 3 was used to convert the amount of PFBS, PFHS and PFOS found in ng/L to ng/g (ppb).
Equation 3:
Analyte found (ppb) = fAnalyte found (ng/Lj x volume extracted (0.04L)1 sample weight (5 g)
Exygen Research
Page 18 o f 134
Interim Report #22 - Analysis o f Soil Samples
Exygen Study No.: P0001131
Equation 4 was then used to calculate the amount of PFBS, PFHS and PFOS found in ppb based on dry weight.
Equation 4: Analyte found (ppb) dry weight = Analyte found (ppb) x [100% / total solids(%)]
NOTE: Total solids (%) = [wet weight (g) / dry weight (g)] x 100%
An example of a calculation using an actual sample follows (calculation is for PFBS
only):

Interim Report #22 - Analysis o f Soil Samples

7.0 EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
For water samples designated as field matrix spikes, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS was added at a known concentration to the bottles in the laboratory before being shipped to the field. The water sample bottles were filled to a 200 mL volumetric fill line in the field. For soil samples designated as laboratory matrix spikes, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS were added at a known concentration to the samples in the laboratory after the samples were weighed for extraction.
The soil samples were extracted in thirty-two sets. Each set included one reagent blank and two reagent blanks fortified at known concentrations. Twenty-three of the sets contained five samples sites and one set contained two sample sites. One sample was collected for each sample site. For each site, two laboratory matrix spikes and a laboratory duplicate were extracted. The last eight sets were re-extraction sets. Four sets contained eight samples, three sets contained seven samples, and one set contained six samples. Each re-extraction set consisted of one sample and one laboratory matrix spike.
The water samples were extracted in two sets. Each set included one reagent blank and two reagent blanks fortified at known concentrations. Set one contained three rinse blanks, two trip blanks with the associated spikes. Set two contained four rinse blanks and two trip blanks with the associated spikes.
8.0 RESULTS
Analytical results and assessed accuracies for the analysis of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in soil samples based on dry weight are summarized in Table I. Analytical results and assessed accuracies for the analysis of PFOS in re-extracted soil samples based on dry weight are summarized in Table II. Analytical results and assessed accuracies for the
analysis o f PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in water samples are summarized in Table III. To
assess the accuracy of the results, the matrix spikes were used. Matrix spikes that were in die appropriate concentration range (primary concentration has to be than or equal to three times the spiking level) were used to calculate the assessed accuracies. When the field matrix spikes were not available or failed to meet recovery criteria, the laboratory spikes were used. Note that several recovery percentages are marked as an asterisk. These samples were found to have analyte concentrations three times or greater than that of the given spiking level. Quantitative results were obtained for all samples and analytes except for PFBS in seventeen samples, PFHS for six samples, and PFOS in seven samples that are not reported due to quality control failures.
Fortification recoveries for the analysis of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in soil samples based on wet weight are summarized in Table IV. The overall average percent recovery standard deviation for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in soil samples based on wet weight were 111 25%, 86 8%, and 88 16%, respectively. Fortification recoveries for the analysis of PFOS in re-extracted soil samples based on wet weight are summarized in

Interim Report #22 - Analysis o f Soil Samples
Exygen Study No.: P0001131
Table V. The overall average percent recovery standard deviation for PFOS in re extracted soil samples based on wet weight was 94 23%. Fortification recoveries for the analysis of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in water samples are summarized in Table VI. The overall average percent recovery standard deviation for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in water samples were 97 6%, 94 4%, and 86 4%, respectively.
The total percent solids for soil samples are detailed in Table VII.
9.0 CONCLUSIONS
Except as noted above, the soil and water samples were successfully extracted and analyzed for PFBS, PFHS and PFOS according to analytical methods V0001781 and V0001780, respectively. There were no circumstances that would have affected the quality or integrity of the data.
10.0 RETENTION OF DATA AND SAMPLES

/>--- 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 w ill not be reported in this study. Exygen w ill 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 w ill 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 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.

A un> standard solution (reagent blank) mum be prepared with each seto fstandards extracted.
Store a ll extracted calibration standards in 15-raL polypropylene tubes at 2"C to 6C, up to two weeks. Alternate volumes and concentrations o f standards may be prepared as needed.
10.0 Batch Set Up
10.1 Each batch o f samples extracted (typically 20 or leas) must include at least one reagent control (method blank using HPLC water) and two reagent controls fortified at known concentrations (lab control spike) to verify procedural reoovery for the batch.
10.2 Requirements for field and laboratory duplicates and spikes w ill be specified In the quality assurance plan for this project
11.0 SampleExtraction
11.1 Measure 40 mL o fsample or a portion o f sample diluted to 40 mL with water into 50 mL polypropylene eentriflige tubes (fo rtify as needed, replace lid and mix well).
11.2 Condition the Cu SPE cartridges (1 g, 6 mL) by passing 10 mL methanol followed by 5 mL o fHPLC water ( - 2 drop/sec). Do not let column run dry
11.3 Load sampleon conditioned Cii SPE cartridge. Discard eluate. 11.4 Elute with -5 mL 100% methanol Collect 5 mL o f eluate into graduated
15 mL polypropylene centrifiage tubes (final volume 5 mL). 11.5 Analyze samplesusing electrospray LC/MS/MS.
12.0 Chromatography
12.1 Inject the same amount o f each standard, sample and fortified sample into the LC/MS/MS system. A calibration standard must precede and follow all analyzed samples.
12.2 Standards o f PFOA corresponding to tt least five or more concentration levels must be included in an analytical set.
12.3 An entire set o f extracted calibration standards must be included at the beginning and at the end o f a sample set. Extracted standards must he interspersed between every 5-10 samples. As an alternative, an entire set of extracted calibration standards may be rejected at the beginning o f a set followed by extracted calibration standard interspersed every 5-10 samples (to account for a second set o f extracted standards). In either case, extracted calibration standards must be the first and last injection in aample set.
12.4 Use linear standard curves for quantitation. Linear standard curves are generated for the analyte by linear regression using 1/x weighting o fpeak area

12.5 Sample response should not exceed standard responses. Any sample* that exceed standard responses should be flirther diluted and reanalyzed.
13.0 Acceptance Criteria
13.1 Chromatogram must show a peak o fa daughter ion at 369 amu from a parent o f 413 amu. The 413 amu parent corresponds to foe PFOA anion, while the daughter ion (369 amu) represent! the low o fcarbon dioxide.
13.2 Method blanks must not contain PFOA at level greater than the LOQ. If a blank contains PFOA at levels greater than 50 ng/L, then a new blank sample must beobtained and the entire set must be re-extracted.
13J Recoveries o f control spikes and matrix spikes must be between 70-130% o f their known values. I f a control spike falls outride the acceptable lim its, the entire set o f samples should be re-extracted. Any matrix spike outside 70 130% should be evaluated by tire analyst to determine i f re-extraction is
13.4 Any caUbration standard found to be a statistical outlier by using the Huge Error Test, may be excluded from tire calculation o f the calibration curve. However, foe total number o f extracted calibration standards that could be excluded must not exceed 20% o f the total number o f extracted standards injected.
13.5 The correlation coefficient (R) for calibration curvet generated must be 0.992 (R* 0.985). I f calibration resulta fo il outride these lim its, then appropriate stops must be taken to adjust instrument operation, and the standards or the relevant seto f samples should be reanalyzed.
13.6 Retention times between standards and samples must not d rift more than 4 % within an analytical nm. I f retention time d rift exceeds this lim it within an analytical run then the set mustbe reanalyzed.
14.0 Calculations
14.1 Use the following aquation to calculate the amount o f PFOA found (in ng/L. baaed on peak area) using foe standard curve (linear regression parameters) generated by the Mass Lynx software program:
PFOA found fne/Ll - ( t a i re, inlncem l DF slope
