Analytical Report ISO14-05-02
Analysis of PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in Ground Water Samples Collected at the Former Sludge Incorporation Area (FSIA) from Decatur, AL 1st Quarter 2014
Report Date: Date of Final Signature
1 Introduction/Summary
The 3M Environmental Laboratory prepared and analyzed water samples collected by Weston Solutions personnel from Decatur, AL. Samples were collected on March 11, March 12 and March 13, 2014 and returned to the 3M Environmental Laboratory on March 14, 2014 at ambient conditions. All samples were analyzed for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHS) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) under laboratory project number ISO14-05-02.
The 3M Environmental Laboratory prepared sample containers for thirty-one groundwater well locations. Each empty container was marked with a "fill to here" line that corresponded to a final volume of 200 mL. Sample bottle sets for each groundwater sampling location included a field sample and field sample duplicate. Select locations also included a target analyte field matrix spike sample. Containers designated for field matrix samples were fortified with an appropriate matrix spike solution containing PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS prior to being sent to the field for sample collection. Sampling locations DAL-GW-136R and DAL-GW-137R were not collected due to the wells being dry.
Samples were analyzed for PFOA, PFBS, PFHS and PFOS by ETS-8-044.1 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Water by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection Analysis".
Table 1 summarizes the sample results using the analytical method identified above. All results for quality control samples prepared and analyzed with the samples will be reported and discussed elsewhere in this report.
The testing reported herein meet the requirements of ANSI/ISO/IEC 17025:2005 "General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories", in accordance with A2LA Certificate # 2052.01. Additionally, the laboratory's quality system has been audited and was determined to be in conformance with the EPA GLPs (40 CFR 792) by an independent assessment.

2.3 Sample Preparation
3/26/14, 4/14/14: Solvent dilution / external standard analysis. All samples and laboratory control spikes were diluted with methanol prior to sample analysis. Samples requiring a 1:10 dilution were prepared by removing a 1.0 mL aliquot of the well mixed sample and spiking it with 0.1 mL of surrogate solution and diluting it with 8.9 mL of methanol. Samples requiring a 1:20 dilution were prepared by removing a 0.5 mL aliquot of the well mixed sample and spiking it with 0.1 mL of surrogate solution and diluting it with 9.4 mL of methanol. Samples requiring a 1:50 dilution were prepared by removing a 0.2 mL aliquot of the well mixed sample and spiking it with 0.1 mL of surrogate solution and diluting it with 9.7 mL of methanol. Samples requiring a 1:100 dilution were prepared by removing a 0.1 mL aliquot of the well mixed sample and spiking it with 0.1 mL of surrogate solution and diluting it with 9.8 mL of methanol.
4/10/14: All samples were prepared by adding 0.01 mL of a surrogate solution to 10.0 mL of sample and then removing a 0.4 mL aliquot of the well mixed sample and diluting it with 0.4 mL of methanol (dilution factor of 2). During the preparation of the laboratory control samples, an aliquot of a separate internal standard spiking solution was added to the laboratory control samples (nominal concentration of 1 ng/mL). The sample bottles were spiked with an internal standard mix at a nominal concentration of 1 ng/mL prior to being sent to the field for sample collection. The laboratory control samples were then diluted with methanol in the same manner as the samples.

Due to the nature of the sample, the wide range of concentrations found in the sample, and the environmental occurrence of multiple isomers of the laboratory's analytes of interest, the software used for processing the analytical results is not able to consistently integrate the analytical peak, manual integration of the analytical peak is necessary. All manual integrations are performed following the procedures outlined in method ETS-12-010. The consistency of the laboratory's integration is ensured through the training of laboratory personnel, the peer review process required for all manual integrations, the review of manual integrations by the QAU, and where necessary the review of manual integrations by laboratory management.

3 Data Analysis
3.1 Calibration
3/26/14, 4/17/14: Solvent dilution / external standard calibration. Diluted samples were analyzed against an external standard calibration curve. Calibration standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of stock solutions containing the analytes of interest into 50 mL of 90:10 methanol: laboratory Milli-QTM water. A total of eleven calibration standards ranging from 0.1 ng/mL to 150 ng/mL (nominal) were analyzed. 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. The reference standards of PFOA and PFOS used to prepare the calibration standards consisted of both linear and branched isomers.
4/10/14: Direct Injection / internal standard calibration. Samples were analyzed against a matrix-matched stable isotope internal standard calibration curve. Calibration standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of stock solutions into 50 mL of 50:50 methanol: laboratory reagent water. The calibration standards contained an internal standard mix at a nominal concentration of 0.5 ng/mL. A total of fourteen spiked standards ranging from 0.0125 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL (nominal) were analyzed with the prepared samples. Of these fourteen calibration standards, ten contained the surrogates at concentrations ranging from 0.0125 ng/mL to 10 ng/mL (nominal). A quadratic, 1/x weighted, calibration curve of the ratio of the standard peak area counts over the internal standard peak area counts was used to fit the data for each analyte.
For all analyses, 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 for all analytes. The correlation coefficient (r) was greater than 0.995 for all analytes.
3.2 System Suitability
A calibration standard was analyzed four times at the beginning of the analytical sequence to demonstrate overall system suitability. The acceptance criteria for system suitability samples is less
PAGE 10 OF 24
3M ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY REPORT NO. ISO14-05-02
than or equal to 5% relative standard deviation (RSD) for peak area or peak area ratio and retention time criteria of less than or equal to 2% RSD. These criteria were met for all analytes,
3.3 Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)
The LOQ as defined in method ETS-8-044.1 is the lowest non-zero calibration standard in the curve that meets linearity and accuracy requirements and for which the peak area ratio (or peak area) is at least two times the average peak area ratio (or peak area) of the method blanks. The LOQs associated with the sample analysis are listed in the table below.

3.4 Continuing Calibration
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. The method acceptance criteria of 100% 25% was met for all analytes for all analyses.
3.5 Blanks
Three types of blanks were prepared and analyzed with the samples: method/procedural blanks, a field/trip blank, and a single equipment rinseate blank. Method blank results were reviewed and used to evaluate method performance to determine the LOQ for each analyte.
3.6 Lab Control Spikes (LCSs)
Low, mid, and high lab control spikes were prepared with each sample preparation batch for the target analytes and analyzed in triplicate. LCSs were prepared by spiking known amounts of the analytes into synthetic groundwater or laboratory Milli Q water to produce the desired concentration. The LCS samples were then diluted in a similar manner as the samples (if diluted) prior to sample analysis. The method acceptance criteria, average of each level of LCS should be within 100% 20% with an RSD <20%, were met for all LCSs.
All batch LCS recovery results were used in the evaluation of the analytical method uncertainty in section 3.7 of the report.
The following calculations were used to generate data in Table 8.

3.7 Analytical Method Uncertainty
Analytical method uncertainty is based on historical QC data that is control charted and used to evaluate method accuracy and precision. The method uncertainty is calculated following ETS-12012.2. The standard deviation is calculated for the set of accuracy results (in %) obtained for the QC samples. The expanded uncertainty is calculated by multiplying the standard deviation by a factor of 2, which corresponds to a confidence level of 95%.

3.8 Field Matrix Spikes (FMS) and Laboratory Matrix Spikes (LMS)
Field matrix spike sample containers were prepared for select locations 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 sample containers to the field for sample collection. Field matrix spikes must be at least 0.5 times the analyte concentration to be considered an appropriate spike level. 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. The reference standards for PFOA and PFOS in the field matrix spiking solution consisted of linear and branched isomers. The locations for which FMS sample containers were prepared are listed in Table 10.
Field matrix spikes are presented in section 4 of this report.

4 Data Summary and Discussion
Tables 11-20 below summarize the sample results and target analyte field matrix spike recoveries for the sampling locations as well as the Trip Blank. Each table provides the average concentration and the relative percent difference (%RPD) of the sample and sample duplicate. Results and average values are rounded to three significant figures. Percent relative difference (%RPD) values are rounded to two significant figures. Because of rounding, values may vary slightly from those listed in the raw data. Field matrix spikes meeting the method acceptance criteria of 30%, demonstrate that the method is appropriate for the given matrix. All target analyte field matrix spikes met method acceptance criteria with the following exceptions:
An appropriate field matrix spike was not available for PFOA for sampling locations DAL GW 131L and DAL GW 133L and for PFOS for sampling location DAL-GW-133L; all samples were spiked with surrogate recovery standards prior to extraction. The surrogate recovery standard recoveries met method acceptance criteria.
DAL-GW-140R; The FMS recovery for PFOA was 63.0%. The analytical uncertainty for this location was expanded to 37%.
DAL-GW-142R; The FMS recovery for PFOA was 52.5%. The analytical uncertainty for this location was expanded to 48%.

5 Conclusion
Laboratory control spikes were used to determine the analytical method accuracy and precision for all analytes. The accuracy and precision were then used to estimate the method uncertainty for the results. Field and laboratory matrix spike recoveries demonstrated that the analytical method was appropriate for the given sample matrix. Method ETS-8-044.1 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Water by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection Analysis" was used for analysis. Analytical results are reported in Tables 1 and 11-20 of this report.
6 Data / Sample Retention
All remaining sample and associated project data (hardcopy and electronic) will be archived according to 3M Environmental Laboratory standard operating procedures.
