3M Decatur Groundwater Treatment Plant System; June 2014 Sampling Report Date: Date of Last Signature
1 Introduction/Summary
The 3M Environmental Laboratory analyzed water samples from the groundwater treatment plant GAC system at the 3M Decatur, AL facility. Water samples were collected by Weston Solutions personnel on June 25, 2014. Samples were returned to the 3M Environmental Laboratory at ambient conditions on July 1, 2014, for the analysis of Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), Perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), Perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHS), Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) under laboratory project number ISO14-07-06. Analysis of the samples was completed as specified under 3M Environmental Laboratory General Project Outline number ISO14-07. The 3M Environmental Laboratory provided sample containers for seven sampling locations; ACI, ACM2, ACE, WW8R, WW9R, WW10R, and WW11R. The sample set consisted of a field sample, field sample duplicate and a field matrix spike. Each empty container was marked with a "fill to here" line that corresponded to a final volume of 200 mL. Containers reserved for field matrix spikes were fortified with an appropriate matrix spike solution containing all analytes prior to being sent to the field for sample collection. Sample bottles for sampling locations ACM2 and ACE, along with the Trip Blank sample and low spike, were fortified with internal standards and surrogate recovery standards prior to being sent to the field for sample collection. Samples were prepared and analyzed by method ETS-8-044.1 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Water by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection Analysis". Internal standards were used for select samples to aid in the data quality objectives. 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.

2.2 Sample Collection
Samples were collected on June 25, 2014 in NalgeneTM (high-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 PFOA, PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS. Sample bottles for sampling locations ACM2 and ACE, along with the Trip Blank sample and low spike, were fortified with a mixture of mass-labeled internal standards at a nominal concentration of 1 ng/mL and a mixture of surrogate recovery standards at a nominal concentration of 0.1 ng/mL prior to being sent to the field for sample collection. Collected sample bottles were received by the laboratory at ambient conditions on July 1, 2014.
2.3 Sample Preparation
All samples were diluted with methanol and analyzed for all analytes. The 1:100 dilutions were prepared by removing a 0.1 mL aliquot of the well mixed sample and adding 9.8 mL of methanol and 0.1 mL of a surrogate spiking solution. On-column dilution was utilized for select samples for dilution levels up to 1:200. Prepared samples were analyzed by external standard calibration.
The ACE and ACM2 sample sets and the Trip Blank sample and low spike were prepared by removing a 0.4 mL aliquot of the well mixed sample and diluting it with 0.4 mL of methanol (dilution factor of 2). Prepared samples were analyzed by internal standard calibration.
During the preparation of the laboratory control samples for internal standard calibration, 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 for ACE, ACM2, Trip Blank sample and low spike 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 analyzed in the same manner as the samples.
2.4 Analysis
All samples and quality control samples were analyzed for four target analytes using high performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). Pertinent instrument parameters, the liquid chromatography gradient program, and the specific mass transitions analyzed are described in the tables below.
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 SOP ETS-12-010.1 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
External Standard Calibration Analysis on 7/22/14 and 7/25/14: Samples were analyzed against an external standard calibration curve. Calibration standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of the stock solution containing the target analytes into 90:10 methanol: Milli-Q laboratory water. A total of nine spiked standards ranging from 0.1 ng/mL to 50 ng/mL (nominal) were analyzed and 7/22/14, while a total of ten spiked standards ranging from 0.1 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL (nominal) were analyzed on 7/25/14. The standards also contained the surrogates at concentrations ranging from 0.1 ng/mL to 25 ng/mL nominal. A quadratic, 1/x weighted, calibration curve of the standard peak area counts was used to fit the data for each analyte. The data were not forced through zero during the fitting process. Calculating the standard concentrations using the peak area counts and the resultant calibration curve confirmed accuracy of each curve point.
Internal Standard Calibration Analysis on 7/2/14: Samples were analyzed for all analytes 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 thirteen calibration standards ranging from 0.0125 ng/mL to 50 ng/mL (nominal) were analyzed (0.0125 ng/mL to 10 ng/mL (nominal) for the SRSs). Low or high points may have been disabled to meet method criteria. 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. The data were not forced through zero during the fitting process. Calculating the standard concentrations using the peak area ratios and the resultant calibration curve confirmed accuracy of each curve point.
For each calibration curve, the reference standards of PFOA and PFOS used to prepare the calibration standards consisted of both linear and branched isomers. 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.
PAGE 6 OF 25
3M ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY REPORT NO. ISO14-07-06
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 than or equal to 5% relative standard deviation (RSD) for 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 area counts are at least twice those of the appropriate blanks. The LOQs associated with the sample analysis are listed in Table 6.

locations ACM2 and ACE for PFOA, PFHS, and PFOS. (2) The dilution factor of 100 was applied to the LOQ for the analysis of locations ACM2 and ACE for PFOA, PFHS, and PFOS. (3) The dilution factor of 200 was applied to the LOQ for the analysis of locations WW9R, WW10R, WW11R, and Trip Blank High
Spike for PFOA, PFHS, and PFOS and for location WW8R for PFOA and PFOS. (4) The dilution factor of 100 was applied to the LOQ for the analysis of locations WW9R, WW10R, WW11R, and Trip Blank High
Spike for PFBS and for location WW8R for PFBS and PFBS.
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.
3.5 Blanks
Two 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)
Low, mid, and high lab control spikes were prepared for the target analytes and analyzed in triplicate, while only low and high lab control spikes were prepared for the surrogates. LCSs were prepared by spiking known amounts of the analytes into either 10 mL of laboratory-prepared matrix matched water or 1 mL of Milli-Q water to produce the desired concentration. When applicable, the LCSs were then diluted with methanol in the same manner as the samples. Method ETS-8-044.1 states that the average recovery of LCSs at each spiking level be within 80%-120% with a RSD <20%. All LCS samples met method accuracy criteria with the following exception:
7/2/14 analysis: the mid and high set of LCSs for PFBS had recoveries of 76.2% and 79.1%.
PAGE 7 OF 25
3M ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY REPORT NO. ISO14-07-06
ETS-8-044 states that low LCS should be prepared at a concentration in the range of approximately four to ten times higher than the targeted lower LOQ, the mid LCS should be prepared near the midpoint of the calibration curve, and the high LCS at approximately 80% of the upper LOQ. For the analysis of samples analyzed by internal standard calibration on 7/2/14, the LCSs were prepared at levels of 0.2, 10, and 40 ng/mL. After applying the appropriate dilution factor of 2, the high LCSs value fell out of the 80% range of the highest calibration standard with an on-column concentration of 20 ng/mL while the instrument was calibrated to 50 ng/mL. While this is a method deviation, all sample concentrations analyzed in the run were at or near the low and mid level LCSs which were prepared as required by the method.
All LCSs were used in the determination of the analytical method uncertainty in section 3.7. The following calculations were used to generate the data.

3.7 Analytical Method Uncertainty
Analytical 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-12-012.2. 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%.
The analytical method uncertainty as calculated by ETS-12-012.2 for PFBS by internal standard calibration was 18%. The average recoveries of the mid and high set of LCS analyzed on 7/2/14 were 76.2% and 79.1%, respectively. The analytical method uncertainty was expanded to 24% for PFBS by internal standard calibration based on the %bias of the mid level LCSs.

3.8 Field Matrix Spikes (FMS)
A field matrix spike was 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 sample containers for sample collection. Table 9 lists the concentrations of the spikes used for this sampling round. 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

3M ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY REPORT NO. ISO14-07-06
analysis of the analytes of interest. The standards used for the preparation of the field matrix spiking solutions contained reference materials comprised of both linear and branched isomers for PFOA and PFOS. Field matrix spike recoveries and associated results for each sample set are presented in section 4 of this report.
The following calculation was used to generate data in section 4.
FMS Recovery - (Sample Concentration of FMS - Average Concentration: Field Sample & Field Sample Dup.) * 1 0 0 % Spike Concentraton

In addition to target analyte field matrix spikes, sample bottles for locations ACM2 and ACE, along with the Trip Blank sample and low spike, contained stable isotope surrogate recovery standards 13C4PFOA and 13C4-PFOS, which were added at a nominal concentration of 0.1 ng/mL prior to sample collection. The 13C4-labeled PFOA was selected to represent PFOA. The 13C4-labeled PFOS was selected to represent the C4, C6, and C8 perfluorosulfonic acids. Surrogate recoveries within method acceptance criteria of 10030% confirm that "unknown" components in the sample matrix do not significantly interfere with the preparation and analysis of the analytes of interest. Surrogate spike recoveries are presented in section 4 of this report.
The following calculation was used to generate data in section 4.

4 Data Summary and Discussion
The tables below summarize the sample results and field matrix spike recoveries for the seven 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. Relative percent 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 and surrogate recoveries meeting the method acceptance criteria of 30%, demonstrate that the method is appropriate for the given matrix.
All field samples met method acceptance criteria with the following exceptions:
PAGE 13 OF 25
3M ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY REPORT NO. ISO14-07-06
ACM2 and ACE: The FMS spike level at 5 ng/mL was not appropriate for PFBS, however, the surrogate recovery standard l3C4-PFOS added to the samples during sample preparation met method acceptance criteria and therefore no additional QC samples were prepared.
WW11R: The %RPD for PFOS was outside method acceptance criteria of <20% with a value of 43%. The RPD value has been flagged in Tables 1 and 16. A method deviation is included with the raw data.

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 matrix spike recoveries demonstrated that the analytical method was appropriate for the given sample matrix. Analysis was completed using 3M Environmental Laboratory Method ETS-8044.1 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in Water by LC/MS/MS; Direct Injection Analysis". Analytical results are reported in Tables 1 and 10-17 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.
