Summary and Introduction
The 3M Environmental Laboratory analyzed groundwater samples collected offsite from the 3M Decatur, AL facility by Weston Solutions personnel on April 1,2008. Samples were submitted for analysis under 3M Environmental Laboratory Project Number GLP07-02-03. The GLP protocol number is P0003268: ""Analysis of Perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), Perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in Water, Soil, Sediment, Fish, and Clams Using LC/MS/MS for the 3M Decatur Monitoring Program".
The groundwater samples were analyzed for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS using method ETS-8-154.3 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates in Water by Solid Phase Extractions and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry". The experimental start date was April 3, 2008, the day samples were first prepared for analysis by 3M Environmental Laboratory personnel. The experimental completion date was April 5,2008.
Sample collection containers were prepared at the 3M Environmental Laboratory. Sample containers for each sampling location included a field sample, field sample duplicate, low field spike, mid field matrix spike, and a high field spike. Additionally, one equipment rinse blank and one trip blank with field spikes were submitted with the samples. Each empty 500 mL container was marked with a "fill to here" line to produce a final sample volume of 450 mL. Containers designated for field matrix samples were fortified with an appropriate matrix spike solution containing PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS prior to being sent to the field for sample collection. Table 1 below summarizes the sample results. The average between the sample and the sample duplicate is provided along with the relative percent difference (%RPD), if applicable. All results for quality control samples prepared and analyzed with the samples will be provided and discussed elsewhere in this report.

Method Summary
Preparatory and Analytical Methods
Sample Collection
Samples were collected in 500 ml. NalgeneTM (high-density polyethylene) bottles prepared at the 3M Environmental Laboratory. Sample bottles were returned to the laboratory at ambient conditions on April 3, 2008. Samples were stored refrigerated at the laboratory after receipt. A set of laboratory prepared Trip Blank and Trip Blank field matrix spikes were sent with the collection bottles.
Sample Preparation
All samples, calibration standards, and associated quality control samples were extracted using ETS-8-154.3 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates in Water by Solid Phase Extractions and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry". Briefly, 40 mL of sample were loaded onto a pre-conditioned Waters Sep-Pak tC18 solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge (1 g, 6 cc) using a vacuum manifold. The loaded SPE cartridges were then eluted with 5 mL of methanol. This extraction procedure concentrates the samples by a factor of eight. (Initial volume = 40 mL, final volume = 5 mL).
Samples were prepared for analysis on April 3, 2008 and were analyzed on April 4-5, 2008.
Analysis
All samples and quality control samples were analyzed for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS 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.

A nalytical Results
Calibration
Calibration standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of stock solutions containing the target analytes into 40 mL of laboratory water. Each spiked water standard was then extracted in the same manner as the collected samples. A total of twelve spiked standards ranging from 0.025 ng/mL to 25 ng/mL (nominal) were prepared. 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.
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 in each analytical batch. The correlation coefficients (r) were greater than 0.995 for all analytes in each analysis.
System Suitability
The 1.0 ng/mL extracted-calibration standard was analyzed at least three times at the beginning of the analytical sequence to demonstrate overall system suitability. All analytes met the acceptance criteria of less than or equal to 5% relative standard deviation (RSD) for peak area and less than or equal to 2% RSD for retention time for the opening system suitability injections.

Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)
The LOQ for this analysis 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 for this analysis are listed below.

LOQ, ng/m L 0.0252 0.0245 0.0261
Continuing Calibration
During the course of each analytical sequence, continuing calibration verification samples (CCVs) were analyzed to confirm that the instrument response and the initial calibration curve were still in control. All CCVs met method criteria of 100% 25%.
Blanks
Four types of blanks were prepared and analyzed with the samples: solvent blanks, method blanks, equipment blanks, and field/trip blanks. Each blank type is described below.
Solvent Blanks Several blanks of methanol were analyzed to assess system contamination and/or instrument carryover. Analyte peak area counts in solvent blank samples were less than half the area counts of the calibration standard used to establish the LOQ.
Method Blanks Five method blanks were prepared and analyzed with the samples. The average analyte peak area counts in the method blank samples were less than half the area counts of the calibration standard used to establish the LOQ.
Equipment Blank One aqueous equipment rinseate blank was submitted as a sample: GLP07-02-03-015. The 3M Environmental Laboratory provided two one-liter bottles of ASTM type I water for rinsing. The resultant PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS concentrations were below the analytical LOQs listed in Table 7.
Trip Blank Prior to sample collection, one separate sample container was filled with 450 mL of reverseosmosis purified water, sealed, and shipped to the sample collection site along with the empty containers. This sample was analyzed as the field/trip blank. The trip blank serves as an additional method blank that account for any storage conditions and/or holding time issues that the samples may experience. The resultant PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS concentrations were below the analytical LOQs listed in Table 7.
Lab Control Spikes (LCSs)
Low and mid-level lab control spikes were prepared and analyzed in triplicate with each preparation set. LCSs were prepared by spiking known amounts of the analytes into laboratory water to produce the desired concentration. The spiked water samples were then prepared and analyzed in the same

manner as the samples. Analysis of triplicate LCSs at the two specified levels cross-validates the analytical method as used here for any modifications/deviations from method and ETS-8-154.3. All LCSs were used in the determination of analytical uncertainty.

Determination of Analytical Method Uncertainty
The analytical uncertainty was determined based on historical QC data that is used to evaluate method accuracy and precision. The method uncertainty is calculated following ETS-12-012.2. The analytical uncertainty was determined by the statistical evaluation of the recoveries for the individual analyte recovery as determined for laboratory matrix spiked samples. The standard deviation was calculated for the set of recovery results (in %). The expanded uncertainty is calculated by multiplying the standard deviation by a factor of 2, which correspond with a confidence level of 95%. A minimum of twenty data points is needed to determine method uncertainty by this method.

Field Matrix Spikes (FMS)
Low, mid, and high field matrix spikes were collected at each sampling point (with the exception of the rinse blank) 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. 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.
Sampling location DAL GW 605R purged less than three volumes with a total quantity of 1.5 gallons. As a result, the well could not provide adequate water to meet the volume requirements for all sample bottles provided for this location. The sample, duplicate, and low spike bottles were filled to the line, while the mid and high field matrix spike bottles were filled approximately 50%. The volume collected for the mid and high field matrix spikes was determined and the field matrix spike concentrations were adjusted appropriately.

Data Summary and Discussion
The tables below summarize the sample results and field matrix spike recoveries for the sampling locations as well as the Trip Blanks. The 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 according to EPA rounding rules. Relative percent difference 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 10030% demonstrate that the analytical method is appropriate for the given matrix. If the low level spike amount was less than half the resultant endogenous concentration, the low FMS recovery was not reported as the spike level was not appropriate for the given sample concentration.
All reportable field matrix spike recoveries were within 10030%; therefore, the results were considered accurate to within the overall analytical method uncertainty for PFBS of 10018%, PFHS 100%14%, and PFOS 100%22% (see Determination o f Analytical Method Uncertainty for more information.).

Statement of Conclusion
Sample results were summarized in Table 1. Historical values of lab control spikes for this method recorded in the laboratory's control chart were used to determine the overall analytical method uncertainty. Sample results with field matrix spike recoveries within 10030% were considered to be accurate within the stated method uncertainty. All remaining samples and associated project data (hardcopy and electronic) will be archived according to 3M Environmental Laboratory standard operating procedures.

1 Scope and Application
This method describes the extraction of target analytes from water matrices using solid phase extraction (SPE) followed by separation, identification, and quantitation using high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) or tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). This method has been validated for perfiuorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctane sulfonylamide (FOSA), and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) in groundwater, surface water, and drinking water samples. This method is considered a perform ance-based method and may be applied to the determination of other perfluorinated acids, alcohols, amides, and sulfonates in similar matrices, as long as the defined QC elements are satisfied and with the understanding that the method is not validated for compounds outside the scope of the original protocol.
This method is based in part on the 3M Environmental Laboratory report E01-0454, "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), Perfluorooctane sulfonylamide (PFOSA), and Perfluorooctanoate (POAA) in Water", as developed and validated by Exygen Research (formerly Centre Analytical Laboratories, Inc.). This method was originally validated using a 40 mL sample aliquot for extraction and a final elution volume of 5 mL. These volumes may be changed on a per project basis to meet the data quality objectives set forth by the project lead. Acceptable recoveries of laboratory quality control samples will demonstrate that the extraction and elution volumes do not impact the validity of the method.
Sample collection is n o t covered under this analytical procedure.
2 Method Summary
Water samples are collected from a site of interest and shipped to the analytical facility. Perfluorinated acids, alcohols, amides, and sulfonates are extracted from aliquots of the water samples using solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges. The compounds are eluted from the SPE cartridge, using methanol. Separation, identification, and measurement are accomplished by high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) analysis. High-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) may be used if the defined QC elements are satisfied and meets the data quality objectives outlined in the general project outline for the given project.
The concentration of each identified component is measured by comparing the MS response of the quantitation ion (or summed total of multiple ions) produced by that compound to the MS response of the quantitation ion (or summed total of multiple ions) produced by the same compound in an extracted calibration standard (external standard).
3 Definitions
3.1 SPE cartridge
A column containing an open solvent reservoir, retaining frit, sorbent bed, retaining frit, and luer tip. The sorbent bed is bonded silica which is designed to selectively retain or elute the compounds of interest depending on the solvent conditions. The compounds of interest can be separated from the water matrices and introduced into an appropriate solvent for analysis.
3.2 Analytical Sample
A portion of an extracted laboratory sample prepared for analysis.

3.3 Calibration Standard
An aqueous solution prepared by spiking a known volume of the Working Standard (WS) into a predetermined amount of ASTM type I water, HPLC grade reagent water, or other suitable water (i.e. matrix water), and extracting the solution according to this method. The calibration standard solutions are used to calibrate the instrument response with respect to analyte concentration.
3.4 Laboratory Duplicate Sample (LDS)
A laboratory duplicate sample is a separate aliquot of a sample, taken in the analytical laboratory that is extracted and analyzed separately with identical procedures. Analysis of LDSs compared to that of the first aliquot give a measure of the precision associated with laboratory procedures, but not with sample collection, preservation, or storage procedures.
3.5 Field Blank (FB)/Trip Blank
ASTM Type I water, HPLC grade reagent water, or other suitable water, is placed in a sample container in the laboratory and treated as a sample in all respects, including exposure to sampling site conditions, storage, preservation and all analytical procedures. The purpose of the FB is to determine if test substances or other interferences are present in the field environment. This sample is also referred to as a Trip Blank.
3.6 Field Duplicate Sample (FDS)
A sample collected in duplicate at the same time from the same location as the sample. The FDS is placed under identical circumstances and treated exactly the same throughout field and laboratory procedures. Analysis of the FDS compared to that of the first sample gives a measure of the precision associated with sample collection, preservation and storage, as well as with laboratory procedures.
3.7 Field Matrix Spike (FMS)
A sample to which known quantities of the target analytes are added to the sample bottle in the field or in the laboratory before the bottles are sent to the field. A known, specific volume of sample must be added to the sample container without rinsing. This may be accomplished by making a "fill to this level" line on the outside of the sample container. The FMS should be spiked at approximately 0.5-10 times the expected analyte concentration in the sample. If the expected range of analyte concentrations is unknown, multiple spikes at varying levels may be prepared to increase the likelihood that a spike at an appropriate level is made. Typically a low and a high spike are prepared for each sampling location. The FMS is analyzed to ascertain if matrix effects or sample holding time contributes bias to the analytical results.
3.8 Field Spike Control Sample (FSCS)/Trip Blank Matrix Spike
An aliquot of ASTM Type I water (HPLC grade reagent water or other suitable water may used) to which known quantities of the target analytes are added in the field at the time of sample collection (at an appropriate concentration to be determined by the project lead) or in the laboratory prior to the shipment of the collection bottles. The FSCS is extracted and analyzed exactly like a sample to determine whether a loss of analyte could be attributed to holding time, sample storage and/or shipment issues. A low and high FSCS may be appropriate when expected sample concentrations are not known. This sample may also be referred to as Trip Blank Matrix Spike.
3.9 Laboratory Control Sample (LCS)
An aliquot of ASTM Type I water (HPLC grade reagent water or other suitable water may used) to which known quantities of the target analytes are added in the laboratory at the time of sample
extraction. At least two levels are included, one generally at the low end of the calibration curve

and one near the mid to upper range of the curve. The LCSs are extracted and analyzed exactly like a laboratory sample to determine whether the method is In control. LCSs should be prepared each day samples are extracted.
3.10 Laboratory Matrix Spike (LMS)
A laboratory matrix spike Is an aliquot of a sample to which known quantities of target analytes are added in the laboratory. The LMS Is extracted and analyzed exactly like a laboratory sample to determine whether the sample matrix contributes bias to the analytical results. The endogenous concentrations of the analytes in the sample matrix must be determined in a separate aliquot and the measured values In the LMS corrected for these concentrations.
3.11 Laboratory Sample
A portion or aliquot of a sample received from the field for testing.
3.12 Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)
The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) for a dataset is the lowest concentration that can be reliably quantitated within the specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine operating conditions. To simplify data reporting, the LLOQ is generally selected as the lowest non-zero standard in the calibration curve that meets method criteria. Sample LLOQs are matrixdependent.
The upper limit of quatitation (ULOQ) for a dataset is the highest concentration that can be reliably quantitatied within the specified limits of precision and accuracy during routine operating conditions. The highest standard in the calibration curve that meets method criteria is defined as the ULOQ.
3.13 Method Blank
An aliquot of ASTM Type I water (HPLC grade reagent water or other suitable water may used) that is treated exactly like a laboratory sample including exposure to all glassware, equipment, solvents, and reagents that are used with other laboratory samples. The method blank is used to determine if test substances or other interferences are present in the laboratory environment, the reagents, or the apparatus.
3.14 Sample
A sample is a small portion collected from a larger quantity of material intended to represent the original source material.
3.15 Stock Standard Solution (SSS)
A concentrated solution of a single analyte prepared in the laboratory with an assayed reference compound.
3.16 Surrogate
A compound similar to the target analyte(s) in chemical composition and behavior that is not normally found in the sample(s). A surrogate compound is typically a target analyte with at least one atom containing an isotopically labeled substitution. If used, surrogate(s) are added to all samples and quality control samples (except solvent blanks and half of the prepared method blanks). Surrogate(s) are added to quantitatively evaluate the entire analytical procedure including sample collection, extraction, and analysis. Inclusion of a surrogate analyte is an optional quality control measure and is NOT required. The project lead should indicate in the general project outline/protocol whether or not a surrogate compound will be part of the analysis.

The following standard preparation procedure serves as an example. Weighed amounts and final volumes may be changed to suit the needs of a particular study. For example, pL volumes may be spiked into volumetric flasks when diluting stock solutions to appropriate levels. 100 pg/mL target analyte SSSs--Weigh out 10 mg of analytical standard (corrected fo r percen t s a lt a nd p urity) and dilute to 100mL with methanol or other suitable solvent, in a 100mL volumetric flask. Transfer to a 125mL LDPE bottle or other suitable container. Prepare a separate solution for each analyte. Expiration dates and storage conditions of stock solutions should be assigned in accordance with laboratory standard operating procedure. An example of purity and salt correction is given below for PFOS.

7.5 Calibration Standards
Using the working standards described above, prepare calibration solutions in ASTM Type I water, or other suitable water, using the following table as a guideline. Note: Volumes of water and working standards may be adjusted to meet the data quality objectives addressed in the general project outline.

The calibration standards are processed through the entire extraction procedure (Section 11), identical to the laboratory samples. The concentration of the calibration standard in the final extract depends on the volume extracted and the final elution volume.
Final sample concentration factor = Volume extracted (mL)/Elution Volume (mL)
Storage Conditions-- Store all extracted calibration standards in 15mL polypropylene tubes or in labeled autovials at 42C. After analysis, archive all extracted standards with the sample extracts in accordance with laboratory standard operating procedures.
8 Sample Collection Bottle Preparation
For most projects, sample collection bottles are prepared by 3M Environmental Laboratory personnel before they are shipped to the collection site. Typically, four separate collection bottles are associated with a single collection site: sample, field duplicate sample, low field matrix spike, and high field matrix spike. Depending on the scope of the project, additional replicates of the field sample and field matrix spikes may be added. Also, it is not uncommon for additional mid level field matrix spikes to be collected if the expected sample concentrations are truly unknown or could span a large concentration range.
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) wide-mouth Nalgene bottles are used for the sample collection containers. (Volumes of the bottles may vary depending on how much sample is required to meet

data quality objectives.) The interiors of the Nalgene bottles may be rinsed multiple times with acetone and methanol and allowed to dry before adding the appropriate spikes. Note: rinsing of the bottles is optional and is not required. The project lead will communicate what the final collection volume will be and a corresponding "fill to here" line is drawn on the exterior of the bottle using a permanent marker. Typically, placement of the "fill to here" line is done by using a marker template. Alternatively, bottles with pre-marked volume indicators may be purchased.
For the sample bottles designated for matrix spikes, an appropriate volume of matrix spiking solution is added to the empty bottle. The volume of spike solution added should produce the desired final concentration of target analytes once the bottle is filled with sample to the "fill to here line". (If a surrogate Is included for the project, the surrogate compound should also be added to the matrix spikes). The matrix spiking solution should be prepared in a suitable solvent and contains all of the target (and surrogate if applicable) analytes; however, multiple spike solutions may be used if an appropriate mixed component standard is not available. The matrix spiking solution is often the same as the working standards used to create the calibration standards. An example of a bottle spike is given below.
"Fill to here" volume = 450 mL (A 500 mL Nalgene bottle is used)
Desired Field Spike Concentration = 0.1 ng/mL
45pL of a 1 pg/mL spiking solution (containing the target analytes) is added to the bottle and the bottle cap promptly sealed
If analysis of a surrogate analyte is included in the project objectives, the preparatory analyst should also add an appropriate volume of surrogate standard solution to all the bottles designated as samples or field duplicate samples.
All bottles should be clearly labeled to indicate its intended use as a sample/field sample duplicate, low spike, or high spike. If each location has different designated spike levels, the label should also clearly indicate the sample location designation. Generally, a set of bottles for a given collection site are then grouped together in plastic bags for organizational purposes.
For each collection event, at least one set of trip blank and trip blank matrix spikes are prepared. The number of trip blank sets required for a given project will be communicated by the project lead. For the trip blank, the surrogate spike is added to the bottle (if included) and then ASTM Type I water (HPLC grade reagent water or other suitable water may used) is added to the "fill to here" line. The bottle cap is replaced and tape may be placed around the outer edge of the cap. Trip blank matrix spikes are prepared by adding the appropriate volume of matrix spiking solution, filling the bottle to the desired volume with the appropriate water and replacing and sealing the cap.
The preparatory analyst should document bottle preparation in a Note to File or on a sample preparation worksheet. The Note to File should include the following information: date prepared, total number of bottles prepared, number of sample sites, the standard identification numbers and spike volumes used to prepare spiked bottles, the "fill to here" volume, and any other pertinent information needed for reconstructibility of the data. The Note to File will be included in the final data package for the project.

9 Quality Control and Data Quality Objectives
Analytical results of the FB, FMS, LMS, FD, and FSCS should be evaluated at the conclusion of the study to help interpret the quality of sample data. Analytical results for these control/duplicate samples must be reported with the sample data.
9.1 Solvent Blanks
Solvent blanks are analyzed with each sample set to determine contamination or carryover. In general, solvent blanks should have area counts that are less than 50% of the area count of the lowest calibration standard.
Solvent blanks should be analyzed prior to and following each calibration curve, each set of system suitability samples, and after no more than 10 unknown sample extracts. If instrument carryover is a problem, consecutive solvent blanks may be necessary. In this case, the area counts of the solvent blanks should return to <50% of the lowest calibration standard prior to the injection of further standards or samples.
9.2 Method Blanks
A method blank consists of an aliquot of ASTM Type I water (HPLC grade reagent water, or other suitable water may be used) equal in volume to the samples, and extracted in the same manner as the samples. At least five method blanks should be prepared and analyzed each day that extractions are performed for a particular study or project. Method blanks must be interspersed throughout the extraction batch and analyzed interspersed throughout the analytical sequence.
The average area counts for each analyte must be less than 50% of the area count of the LOQ standard. The standard deviation of the area counts should be calculated. A specific %RSD acceptance criteria is not specified but is assessed on a batch basis. If the mean area counts of the method blank exceed 50% of the LOQ standard, then the LOQ must be raised to the first standard level in the curve that meets criteria. Method blanks may be eliminated if technical justification can be provided (e.g. the method blank was analyzed after an unexpectedly high level sample). If any method blanks are removed from the LOQ determination, document in the raw data and report as appropriate.
9.3 Laboratory Sample Replicates / Field Duplicate Sample
Depending on the scope of the project, all or selected samples may be extracted at least in duplicate, and in triplicate if difficulties were encountered in the sampling and/or holding conditions of the samples. If field sample replicates are collected, duplicate and triplicate extractions of an individual sample may not be required. The relative percent difference (RPD) of duplicate samples or relative standard deviation (RSD) should be less than 20% for the precision of sample preparation and analysis to be considered in control. Replicate samples not meeting the 20% method criteria will be reviewed and evaluated on a case by case basis.
9.4 Laboratory Matrix Spikes (LMSs)
LMSs are performed if FMSs have previously been performed for the sample matrix. Alternatively, LMSs are performed for a sample matrix if the FMS levels were not appropriate for determining spike recoveries relative to endogenous levels. Generally, each sample location represents a different sample and sample matrix. LMSs are prepared for each sample and analyzed to determine the matrix effect on spike recovery efficiency of each target analyte. Lab matrix spike recoveries should fall within 30% of expected values.
LMS concentrations should be prepared at approximately 0.5-10 times the endogenous concentration or approximately 4-10 times the LOQ concentration of each analyte.

Decatur Offsite 605 Series Wells; April 2008
9.5 Laboratory Control Spike (LCS)
Lab control spikes are prepared for each extraction batch to determine method accuracy and precision. LCSs should be prepared at a minimum of two levels and in triplicate. Low lab control spikes should be prepared at a concentration in the range of approximately four to ten times higher than the targeted LOQ and the high lab control spikes should be prepared at a concentration near the mid-point of the calibration curve. For each target analyte, the percent relative standard deviation (method precision) of the pooled control spikes must be less than or equal to 20% and the average recovery (method accuracy) must be 80-120%. Sample data for target analytes outside of the laboratory control spike acceptance criteria are not reportable.
9.6 Field Matrix Spikes (FMSs)
FMSs are prepared for each sample and analyzed to determine the matrix effect and sample holding time on spike recovery efficiency of each target analyte. Generally, each sample location represents a different sample and sample matrix.
FMS samples are a sample to which known quantities of the target analytes are added to the sample bottle in the field or in the laboratory before the bottles are sent to the field. Typically a low and a high FMS are prepared for each sampling location. The ratio of endogenous analyte to field spike concentration that is appropriate to assess accuracy is defined as approximately 0.5 to 10 times the expected sample concentration. For example, if the endogenous level of analyte in the sample is expected to be 1.0 ng/mL, the appropriate range for FMS used to assess accuracy of results would be approximately 0.5 ng/mL to 10 ng/mL. For samples that are expected to have endogenous analytes present at or below the targeted LOQ, the appropriate range for FMS would be approximately 4 to 10 times the LOQ concentration. For example, if the analyte LOQ is 0.025 ng/mL, the appropriate range for low level FMS would be 0.1 ng/mL to 0.25 ng/mL. If the expected range of analyte concentrations is unknown, multiple spikes at varying levels may be prepared to increase the likelihood that a spike at an appropriate level is made.
Field matrix spike method acceptance criteria are recoveries within 30% of the expected value. If FMS recovery is outside of 30% of the expected value or could not be assessed because the FMS was spiked at an inappropriate level, the sample result is reported as NR, where NR is defined as "Not Reportable". For data reportability, a sample may be re-extracted and re analyzed or an alternate analytical method may be applied to the sample. Alternatively, resampling and reanalysis of a new sample may be completed. If re-extraction, resampling, and re-analysis fail to meet the FMS acceptance criteria, the sample result will be reported as "NR" (not reported due to noncompliant QC results).
Exceptions to the 30% FMS acceptance criteria for data reportability are as follows:
1. ) If FMS recovery could not be assessed because FMS's were at an inappropriate level, then Laboratory Matrix Spikes (LMS) may be substituted. If LMS recoveries are within 30% the data are reportable but flagged as not meeting the FMS method acceptance criteria.
2. ) If multiple FMS's were prepared on a sample and the closest FMS level to the reported sample meets the 30% acceptance criteria but additional FMS's are outside the 30% acceptance range, the data are reportable but flagged with an expanded uncertainty and as not meeting FMS method acceptance criteria.
3. ) If the FMS recoveries are outside of the 30% acceptance range but at least 20 acceptable historical reportable FMS sample results are available, the data may be reported but flagged with an expanded uncertainty and as not meeting FMS criteria.

Multiple transitions for monitoring the analytes is an option as summing multiple transitions may provide quantitation of isomers that more closely matches NMR data and may have the added benefit of increased analyte signal. The use of one daughter ion is acceptable if method sensitivity is achieved, provided that retention time criteria are met to assure adequate specificity. While the daughter ions may be chosen at the discretion of the analyst, mass transition 99 is suggested for PFOS. Quantitation may be performed using the total ion chromatogram (TIC) for a given analyte. For example, the PFOA TIC would sum all three of the monitored transitions. Use of the suggested primary ion is recommended. Retention times may vary slightly, on a dayto-day basis, depending on the batch of mobile phase and the gradient, column, guard column(s) used etc. Drift in retention times is acceptable within an analytical run, as long as the drift continues through the entire analysis and the standards are interspersed throughout the analytical run.
10.2 Method Acquisition Parameters
The following values are provided as an example of method acquisition parameters for a single period, single experiment method using the Sciex instrumentation. Actual values may vary from instrument to instrument. Also, these values may be changed from time to time in order to optimize for greatest sensitivity. If a multiple period is used, each period may have different gas, temperature, and ion spray voltages.

15.0 High -4500 450.0 35.0 45.0 ON -10
10.3 Calibration Curve
Analyze the standard curve prior to each set of samples. The validated method specifies that the standard curve should be plotted using a linear fit, weighted 1/x or unweighted. However, the standard curve may also be plotted by quadratic fit (y = ax2 + bx + c), weighted 1/x or unweighted, using suitable software. The calibration curves may include but should not be forced through zero. The mathematical method used to calculate the calibration curve should be applied consistently throughout a study. Any change should be thoroughly documented in the raw data.
If the calibration curve does not meet acceptance criteria, perform routine maintenance or prepare a new standard curve (if necessary) and reanalyze.
For purposes of accuracy when quantitating low levels of analyte, it may be necessary to use the low end of the calibration curve rather than the full range. For example, when attempting to quantitate approximately 0.05 ng/mL of analyte, generate a calibration curve consisting of the standards from 0.025 ng/mL to 10.0 ng/mL rather than the full range of the curve (0.025 ng/mL to 25.00 ng/mL). This will reduce inaccuracy attributed to linear regression weighting of high concentration standards.
High and/or low points may be excluded from the calibration curves to provide a better fit over the range appropriate to the data or because they did not meet the pre-determined acceptance criteria. Low-level curve points should also be excluded if their area counts are not at least twice that of the method and/or solvent blanks. Any curve point may be rejected due to a bad injection

or failing to meet accuracy requirements of 25% (and 30% for the LLOQ). Justification for exclusion of calibration curve points will be noted in the raw data. A minimum of 6 points will be used to construct the calibration curve. No more than 25% of the total extracted calibration standards should be excluded. This does not pertain to low and high levels that may need to be disabled to achieve an accurate curve in the concentration range of the samples, rather, this is intended to apply to mid curve points only.
10.4 Continuing Calibration Verification (CCV)
Continuing calibration verifications (CCV) are analyzed to verify the accuracy of the calibration curve. Analyze a mid-range calibration standard, one of the same standards used to construct the calibration curve, at a minimum after every tenth sample, not including solvent blanks, with a minimum of one per sample set. Calibration verification injections must be within 25% to be considered acceptable. The calibration curve and the last passing CCV will then bracket acceptable samples. Multiple CCV levels may be used.
10.5 System Suitability
A minimum of three system suitability samples will be injected at the beginning of each analytical run, prior to the analysis of the calibration curve. Typically these samples are at a concentration near the mid-level of the calibration curve are repeated injections from one autosampler vial. The system suitability injections must have area counts with an RSD of 5% and a retention time RSD of 2% to be compliant.
11 Procedures
11.1 Extraction Scheme
The following steps represent a typical extraction scheme. Sample extraction volumes and final elution volumes may be adjusted to meet data quality objectives.
Allow samples to equilibrate to room temperature. Thoroughly mix samples by gently inverting the sample bottle.
Measure a 40mL representative aliquot of the well-mixed sample into a 50mL polypropylene centrifuge tubes (Spike the lab matrix spikes as required*, replace lid and mix well). Alternate volumes may be used depending on the scope of the project. Use a consistent sample volume for all extractions and document on the sample prep sheet.
Add 40pL of 250 mg/mL sodium thiosulfate solution to 40mL of sample. Adjust the amount of sodium thiosulfate solution added if alternate sample volumes are used. Thoroughly mix sample.
Note: * Samples may need to be prescreened to determine an appropriate matrix spike level (typically approximately 0.5 to 10 times the sample concentration). Alternatively the samples could be spiked at more than one level, allowing for the inappropriate spike level to be eliminated.
Condition the C18 SPE cartridges (1g, 6mL) by passing approximately 10mL methanol (at a minimum) followed by approximately 50mL (at a minimum) ASTM Type I water. Do not let column run dry. If column does run dry, recondition. SPE cartridges cannot be over conditioned.
Load the analytical sample onto the C18 SPE cartridge. Once the entire sample has loaded onto the cartridge, isolate the cartridge from the vacuum and wait until all samples on the vacuum manifold have been loaded. Discard eluate. Open manifold valves and pull a vacuum on the SPE cartridges for approximately 3 minutes to remove residual water from the SPE cartridge.
Elute with exactly 5 mL of 100% methanol. Collect eluate into graduated 15mL polypropylene centrifuge tubes. This is the target elution fraction (final volume approximately 4.5 mL as not all of the solvent will leave the SPE column. This will not affect the calculations in any way since the

curve is also extracted). Note: the elution volume may be altered to meet project needs. The same elution volume needs to be used for all samples, calibration standards, and QC samples. Intersperse the method blanks throughout the extraction batch. Transfer well-mixed aliquots of the final extract to labeled autovials. Analyze a portion of the target elution fraction eluent using negative electrospray HPLC/MS/MS or HPLC/MS. Note: Samples are concentrated by a factor of eight during the extraction; Initial Vol = 40mL -> Final Vol. = 5mL.
11.2 Sample Analysis
Set up analysis sample queue. Method blanks must be interspersed throughout the analytical sequence. Inject the same volume (between 5-25pL) of each standard, analytical sample and blank into the instrument (unless an on-instrument sample dilution is desired). All sample extracts with a concentration > ULOQ must be diluted and reanalyzed. If dilution of the final extract fails to produce acceptable results (e.g. poor MS recoveries) dilute the original sample and re-extract.
12 Data Analysis and Calculations
The chromatography analysis software will typically calculate the amount of target analyte in the sample extracts using the established calibration curve. Calculate the percent recovery of the LCS using the following equation:
LCS Concentration (-^-) LCS% recovery = -S--p-i-k--e--C--o--n-c--e-n--t-r-a-t-i-o--n--(*--mn1-gL=0-0)%
Calculate the percent recovery of the FSCS using the following equation:
FSCS Concentration (--^-) FSCS% recovery = -S--p-i-k--e--C--o--n--c-e-n--t-r-a-t-i-o--n--(---m2ng^L----) *100%
Calculate the percent recovery of the FMS using the following equation:
FMS % recovery = FMS Concentration (--mng=L-_)_-_A__vS_ep_ria_kg_ee_C_C_oo_nn_cc_ee_nn_tt_rra_at_tiio_o_nn_(_o--m_nf_gL--S_a_)m__p_l_e_/S__a_m_p_l_e_D__u_p_l_ic_a_t_e_(nm-g-L-- ) * 100%

13 Method Performance
Any method performance parameters that are not achieved must be considered in the evaluation of the data. Nonconformance to any specified parameters must be described and discussed if the project lead chooses to report the data.
If criteria listed in this method performance section are not met, maintenance may be performed on the system and samples reanalyzed, or other actions taken as determined by the analyst/project lead. Document all actions in the raw data.
If data are to be reported when performance criteria have not been met, the data must be footnoted on tables and discussed in the text of the report.
13.1 System Suitability
A minimum of three system suitability samples will be injected at the beginning of each analytical run. These samples are run prior to the calibration curve. The system suitability injections must have area counts with an RSD of <5% and a retention time RSD of <2% to be compliant.
13.2 Quantitation
Calibration Curve: The coefficient of determination (r2) value for the calibration curve must be greater than or equal to 0.990. Each point in the curve must be within 25% of the theoretical concentration with the exception of the LLOQ, which may be within 30%.
Demonstration of Specificity: Specificity is demonstrated by chromatographic retention time (within 3% of standard) and the mass spectral response of unique ions.
13.3 Sensitivity
Solvent Blanks and Method Blanks: Solvent and method blank area counts must be < 50% that of the lowest standard used in the calibration curve. Solvent blanks analyzed after high level samples or calibration standards may have area counts greater than 50% of the lowest standard from instrument carryover as long as subsequent solvent blanks analyzed before the next sample/QC sample demonstrate that the instrument carryover is decreasing back to expected levels.
Limits of Quantitation (LOQ): The lower LOQ (LLOQ) is the lowest non-zero active standard in the calibration curve; the peak area of the LLOQ must be at least 2X that of the method blank(s). By definition, the measured value of the LLOQ must be within 30% of the theoretical value.
13.4 Accuracy
CCV Performance: Calibration verification injections must be within 25% to be considered acceptable. The calibration curve and the last passing CCV will then bracket acceptable samples. Multiple CCV levels may be used. LCS recoveries should be within 25% to be considered acceptable and to verify that the method is in control on a given day.
Lab Control Spikes: The average recovery of the pooled LCSs for each target analyte should be within 80-120% and the percent relative standard deviation of the recoveries must be less than or equal to 20%.
13.5 Precision
Reproducibility: Reproducibility of the method is defined by the results of duplicate or triplicate analysis of samples. A RPD or RSD of < 20% will be considered acceptable for replicate lab
control spikes. Because field sample duplicates account for variability in sample location (as well as variability in the extraction procedure), RPD or RSD values may be higher. Report the RPD or

RSD of sample/field duplicates and discuss in the report if greater than 20% and the impact on field matrix spike recoveries, if any.
13.6 Analytical Method Uncertainty / Data Acceptability
Analytical method uncertainty may be defined and reported in one of two ways. The first approach uses historical LCS data that is control charted and is used to evaluate method accuracy and precision, based on procedures defined in ETS-12-012. In ETS-12-012, a detailed estimation of uncertainty measurements was performed on ETS-8-231.2, "Solid Phase Extraction and Analysis of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohol, Amides, Sulfonates and other Fluorinated Compounds by High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry". The procedure outlined in this method utilizes the same preparation and analysis steps as those identified in ETS-8-231.2. In that evaluation it was determined that the use of control charts was an acceptable approach to determining analytical method uncertainty. At least twenty data points are required when using this method for determining analytical uncertainty. The method uncertainty is defined as 2xthe standard deviation of the percent recoveries of the pooled lab control spikes. While all LCS data points are control charted, only the most recent fifty data points are used for determining the method uncertainty.
When less than twenty LCS data points have been generated for a given analyte, the batch LCS and FMS QC determine the data acceptability. If FMSs meet the 30% recovery criteria at a level appropriate to the endogenous level, and the LCS meet the 20% recovery criteria, then the uncertainty of the data is deemed accurate to within 10020%. If FMS do not meet the 30% recovery criteria, and historical FMS data does not exist, the analytical uncertainty is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and a discussion included in the final analytical report.
14 Pollution Prevention and Waste Management
Sample extract waste and flammable solvent is discarded in high BTU containers, and glass pipette waste is discarded in broken glass containers located in the laboratory.
15 Records
Each data package generated for a study must include all supporting information for reconstructibility of the data. Information for the data package must include, but is not limited to the following items: study or project number, sample and standard prep sheets/records, instrument run log (instrument batch records, instrument acquisition method, summary pages), instrument results files, chromatograms, calibration curves, and data calculations.

It is proposed that the analytical portion of this study be conducted from June 14, 2007 to December 31, 2007. The actual experimental start and termination dates will be included in the interim reports and the final report.
IDENTIFICATION AND JUSTIFICATION OF THE TEST SYSTEM
The following are the test systems for this study: Water (groundwater and surface water) Soil Sediment Fish Clams
The samples will be collected by Weston Solutions. The control samples will be purchased and prepared by the testing facility. Purchase and processing details for the control samples will be included in the appropriate interim report and/or final report associated with this study. The analysis of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS are included in a voluntary effort by 3M to gain additional characterization of samples collected to comply with the 3M Letter of Intent (LOI) with the U.S. EPA to collect PFOA data. Additional samples not part of the LOI may be analyzed at the discretion of the Study Director.
SAMPLE PROCUREMENT, RECEIPT AND RETENTION
Water, soil, sediment, fish, and clam samples are being received at MPI Research directly from Weston Solutions. The details of sample procurement procedures for this study are outlined in the 3M work plan entitled "Phase 2 Work Plan for Sampling Environmental Media for PFOA at the 3M Decatur, AL Plant." The number and types of samples received and analyzed will vary depending on data needs for additional characterization of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS concentrations in various environmental media and availability in the field. The total number of samples received and analyzed for each matrix will be documented in the appropriate interim report associated with this study. Water, soil, and sediment samples will be used as received at MPI Research. These samples will be homogenized before the extraction process by vigorously shaking the sample bottles. These samples will be stored refrigerated at 2C-8C. Fish and clam samples will be processed according

T h e m ethod is designed to target a tower limit of quantitation (L O Q ) o f 0 .0 2 5 ng/m L (water) and 0.20 ng/g (soil and sediment).
2 Method Summary___________________________________ ___________________
A queous sam ples are mixed with equal volumes o f acetonitrile, thoroughly m ixed, centrifuged if necessary, and aliquoted for analysis by L C /M S /M S . Similarly, one-gram aliquots o f soil and sedim ents a re m ixed with 80:20 acetonitrlletwater mixture, thoroughly mixed, centrifuged, and afiquoted for analysis by L C /M S /M S ,
This Is a perform ance-based method. Method accuracy is determ ined for each sam ple set using multiple laboratory control spikes at multiple concentrations. This method also requires that the precision and accuracy for each sam ple b e determ ined using field matrix spikes (aqueous sam ples) or laboratory m atrix spikes (soil and sedim ent) to verify that the m ethod is applicable to each sam ple m atrix S am ple results for 6pikes outside o f 7 0 % to 130% , will not be reported due to non-compfiant quality control sam ples.
Fortification levels for field matrix spikes and for laboratory m atrix spikes should b e a t le a s t 5 0 % o f the
endogenous level and less than 1 0 tim es th e endogenous level to b e used to determ ine th e statem ent of
accuracy for analytical results.

A known, specific volum e o f sample m ust be added to the sam ple container without rinsing. This m ay b e accomplished by m aking a 'fill to this level* line on the outside o f the sam ple container. T he F M S should b e spiked betw een approxim ately 5 0 % and TO times the expected analyte concentration in (he sample. If the expected range o f analyte concentrations is unknown, multiple spikes at varying levels may b e prepared to increase the likelihood that a spike 8t an appropriate'level Is m ade. T h e F M S is analyzed to ascertain if an y m atrix effects, interferences, o r stability issues m ay complicate the interpretation o f the sample analysis.
3.6 Trip Blank Spike (Field Spike Control Sample, FSCS)

9.1.1 A minimum of six calibration levels must be present in the final calibration curve.
9 .1 2
An entire set of calferation standards is injected a t the beginning of a sample set prior to sample analysis. As an alternative, an entire set of calferation standards m ay be injected at the beginning of a sample set followed - by calibration standards Interspersed every 5-10 samples (to account for a second set o f standards). In either case, calibration standards or a c o n tm n g calibration verification standard must bracket the first sample and the last sample. Analytical studies m ay only require that a n initial cafibration curve b e analyzed prior to samples and that the continued accuracy of the initial calbraticn curve be confirmed by the analysis of continuing cafbration verification standards. T he sam e approach should be used throughoutthe entire study unless reasons are documented 8nd technical justification to change is approved prior to sample analysis.
9.1.3
T he standard curve is plotted by quadratic f t (y * a x * + b x * c ) , weighted 1Aco r unweighted, o r using a linear ft, weighted lo u s in g suitable software. The calibration curves may include but should not ba forced through zero. T he mathematical method used to calculate the calibration curve should b e applied consistently throughout a study. Any change should be documented In the raw data.
9.1.4

C C V P e rfo rm a n c e : T h e oontinued accuracy of the calibration curve m ust b e dem onstrated b y analyzing continuing- calibration verification (C C V ) standards. Each C C V m ay b e a calibration curve point that is reinjected or a separately prepared standard, and is typically near the m iddle o f the calibration curve. Alternative concentrations or multiple concentrations m ay be chosen depending on project requirements. Not more than ten sampfes o r spikes m ay be analyzed between the initial calibration and a C C V o r bracketing CCVs. T h e accuracy o f each analyte must be vrithin 2 5 % of the theoretical value. Sam ples that are bracketed by C C V s not m eeting th ese criteria m ust be reanalyzed.
D e m o n s tra tio n o f S p ecificity: Specificity is demonstrated by chromatographic retention tim e (within 4 % of standard) and the m ass spectral response of unique ions.
12.3 Sensitivity
T h e targeted limit o f quantitation for all analytes is 0.0 2 5 n g /m l (w ater) an d 0 .2 0 ng/g (soils an d sedim ents, w et weight). T h e L O Q for any specific anatyte m ay vary depending on the evaluation o f appropriate blanks and the accuracy of the low-level calibration curve paints. R efer to Section 10 for additional details.
12.4 Accuracy
This method and required quality control samples are designed to generate d a ta that a re accurate to + /-30% . Section 1 0 contains additional information regarding th e required accuracy o f laboratory control spikes,'field matrix spikes (w ater sam ples) and laboratory matrix spices (soils and sediments).
12.5 Precision
Sam ples should b e prepared in duplicate in the tab (soil and sediment) o r collected in duplicate in the field (aqueous). T he relative percent difference, R PD , should be reported. R P D results g reater than 2 0 % (w ater) o r 30% (soil and sedim ent) will b e flagged in the report, but wffl not b e excluded from reporting. T h e requirement for replicates excludes field blanks or rinse blanks.

2 Background Information and Project Objective(s)
On August 28, 2007, personnel from W eston Solutions, Inc. will collect sediment and surface w ater samples from an off-site location near the 3M Decatur facility. The EH S Operations Environmental Laboratory will analyze the w ater samples for perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), perfluorohexanesulfonate (P FH S ), and perfluorooctanesulfonate (P FO S) under G LP study G LP07-0003 (M PI Protocol #P 3268). The final report will be submitted to Gary Hohenstein upon completion.
3 Project Schedule
Sam ple collection bottles will be prepared by 3M Environmental Laboratory professional services personnel for arrival in Decatur, A L no later than Monday August 27, 2007. Collection bottles will be sent to the W eston Solutions, Inc. office located at the 3M Decatur facility.
4 Test Parameters
4.1 Water Samples
Estimated reporting limits will be 0.025n g/m L (ppb) for the three target analytes.
A total of five sample sites have been specified. For each sampling location, a total of four or five sample bottles will be collected (sample, sample duplicate, low-level field matrix spike, mid-level matrix spike when appropriate, and high-level matrix spike). The "fill to here" line on each 500 mL Nalgene bottle will be 450 mL. The table below provides the spike levels associated with each location. Additionally, Weston has requested two bottles for equipment rinseate samples. Additionally, three trip blank sets consisting of reagent-grade water, a low-level trip blank spike, mid-level trip blank spike, and a high-level trip blank spike will be prepared at the 3M Env. Laboratory and sent to the sampling location with the other bottles. Three trip blank sets will allow for samples to be sent back to the laboratory in three separate shipments if necessary. A total of 37 sample bottles will be prepared. Additionally, the lab will send two one-liter bottles of reagent grade water to be used for equipment rinsing.

4.2 Sediment Samples
Estimated reporting limits will be 0.20 ng/g for sediment samples. A total of 39 primary field sediment samples will be collected. Duplicate sediment samples will be collected for four selected locations. Weston has requested two extra sediment collection bottles. Matrix spikes for sediment will be prepared in the laboratory. Each location will have only one sample bottle. If a blank sediment matrix is available, two sediment trip blanks will be sent to the facility with the bottles.
5 Test Methods
5.1 Water Samples
W ater samples will be extracted and analyzed by LC /M S/M S using procedures outlined in ETS 8-154 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates In W ater By Solid Phase Extraction and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry". This method has been validated for PFOS; however, specific quality control samples analyzed with the samples will be used to determine overall method precision and accuracy for all analytes. The data quality objectives for these studies are quantitative results for the target analytes with an analytical accuracy of 10030% . Field matrix spikes not yielding recoveries within 10030% will be addressed in the report and the final accuracy statement may be adjusted accordingly. Additional water analysis methods that m ay be used if deem ed appropriate by the PAI and 3M laboratory m anagem ent include the following: ETS 8-44 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds In W ater by LC/M S/MS; Direct Injection Analysis" E TS 8-12 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of PerfluorobutanoicAcid (PFBA), Perfiuoropentanoic Acid (PFPeA), PerfiuorohexanoicAcid (PFHA), PerfluoroheptanoicAcid (PFHpA), PerfluorooctanoicAcid (PFOA), Perfluorononanoic Acid (PFNA), Perfluorodecanoic Acid (PFDA), PerfluoroundecanoicAcid (PFUnA), Perfluorododecanoic Acid (PFDoA), Perfluorobutanesulfbnate (PFBS), Perfluorohexanesulfonate (P FH S ), and Perfluorooctanesulfonate (P FO S) in W ater, Soil, and Sediment by LC/M S/M S.
5.2 Sediment Samples
Sediment samples will be extracted and analyzed by LC /M S/M S using procedures outlined in E TS 8-12 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorobutanoic Acid (PFBA), Perfiuoropentanoic Acid (PFPeA), PerfiuorohexanoicAcid (PFHA), PerfluoroheptanoicAcid (PFHpA), PerfluorooctanoicAcid (PFOA), Perfluorononanoic Acid (PFNA), Perfluorodecanoic Acid (PFDA), PerfluoroundecanoicAcid (PFUnA), Perfluorododecanoic Acid (PFDoA), Perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), Perfluorohexanesulfonate (P FH S ), and Perfluorooctanesulfonate (P FO S) in W ater, Soil, and Sediment by LC /M S /M S ". If a blank sediment matrix is available, an extracted calibration curve will be prepared to analyze the sample extracts. If not, sample extracts may be analyzed against a calibration curve prepared using the solvent mix used to extract the samples. If necessary, a curve may be prepared using a sample sediment that was screened and determined to have low levels of the target analyte. Lab matrix spikes will be prepared for each sample. Lab matrix spikes not yielding recoveries within 10030% will be addressed in the report and the final accuracy statement may be adjusted accordingly. Laboratory duplicates will be prepared for each sample. The four field duplicates collected will assess sample collection precision.
6 Reporting Requirements
6.1 Water Samples
For each sampling location, the report will contain the results for the sample, sample duplicate, and the two (or three) field matrix spikes. Trip blank(s) and associated trip blank spikes will also be reported. Laboratory control

spikes of reagent water prepared at the time of sample extraction will also be reported and used to evaluate the overall method accuracy and precision.
6.2 Sediment Samples
For each sample location, the report will contain the results for the sample, laboratory duplicate, field duplicate if appropriate, and the prepared laboratory matrix spike(s). If a blank sediment matrix is available, lab control spikes prepared at the time of sample extraction will also be reported and used to evaluate the overall method accuracy and precision.

Kent and Michelle:
T h e off-site sedim ent (S D ) and surface w ater (S W ) sam ples to be collected at D ecatur starting on T u esd ay 8 /2 8 and analyzed under the G L P Protocols P 3 2 6 7 and P 3 2 6 8 include the following:
39 primary sediment samples 4 field duplicate sedim ent sam ples Please add two spare bottles for the sediments
5 surface w ater samples 2 Equipment rinseate samples
3 Trip blank samples
O f the S W sam ples, 2 are from a location upgradient of sources It is anticipated that only 0 .2 5 and 5 ng/mL spikes would be required for these "West Pond" samples.
Based on earlier sampling, the m axim um S W concentrations within the "East Pond" sampling area were 526 ppb PFO A, 7.63 ppb PFBS, 61.8 ppb PFH S and 437 ppb PFO S. Current concentrations m ay be lower than previous so low range coverage by field spikes will be necessary in the event that concentrations have dropped appreciably.
I will provide information that m ay be helpful in determining lab spiking levels for the sedim ents in a subsequent email.

W h en the original G L P project w as created using the 3M Environm ental Laboratory's Laboratory Information M anagem ent System (LIM S), the wrong project template w as used. With the correct tem plate, all sam ples collected under protocol P 0 0 0 3 2 6 8 and analyzed at the 3M Environm ental Lab will be logged in under G L P program num ber G L P 0 7-02 . S am ples from individual sampling events or different subcategories of sam ples (i.e. w ater vs. sedim ent) will be logged under separate projects under the sam e G LP program number. For example, the sediment samples collected on August 28-29, 2 0 0 7 will be logged under G L P project num ber G L P 0 7 -0 2 -0 1 . S am ples from the next event will be logged under project number G LP07-02-02. The new G LP program template allows for easier sample tracking and m anagem en t w hen numerous sam ples will be collected over an extended period of time.

The "fill to here" line on each 500 mL Nalgene bottle will be 4 5 0 mL. The table below provides the spike levels associated with each location. Additionally, Weston has requested two bottles for equipment rinseate samples. Additionally, two trip blank sets consisting of reagent-grade water, a low-level trip blank spike, mid-level trip blank spike, and a high-level trip blank spike will be prepared at the 3M Env. Laboratory and sent to the sampling location with the other bottles. A total of 66 sample bottles will be prepared. Additionally, the lab will send two one-liter bottles of reagent grade w ater to be used for equipment rinsing.

5 Test Methods
5.1 Water Samples
W ater samples will be extracted and analyzed by LC /M S/M S using procedures outlined In ETS 8-154 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates In W ater By Solid Phase Extraction and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry". This method has been validated for PFOA; however, specific quality control samples analyzed with the samples will be used to determine overall method precision and accuracy. The data quality objectives for these studies are quantitative results for the target analyte with an analytical accuracy of 10030% . Field matrix spikes not yielding recoveries within 10030% will be addressed in the report and the final accuracy statement may be adjusted accordingly. Additional water analysis methods that may be used if deem ed appropriate by the PAI and 3M laboratory m anagem ent include the following: E TS 8-44 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds in W ater by LC/M S/MS; Direct Injection Analysis" E TS 8-12 "Method of Analysis for the Determination of Perfluorobutanolc Acid (PFBA), Perfluoropentanolc Acid (PFPeA ), PerfluorohexanoicAcid (PFHA), Perfluoroheptanolc Acid (PFHpA), Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), Perfluorononanoic Acid (PFNA), PerfluorodecanoicAcid (PFDA), Perfluoroundecanoic Acid (PFUnA), PerfluorododecanoicAcid (PFDoA), Perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), Perfluorohexanesulfonate (P FH S ), and Perfluorooctanesulfonate (P FO S) in W ater, Soil, and Sediment by LC/M S/M S.
6 Reporting Requirements
6.1 Water Samples
For each sampling location, the report will contain the results for the sample, sample duplicate, and the two (or three) field matrix spikes. Trip blank(s) and associated trip blank spikes will also be reported. Laboratory control spikes of reagent water prepared at the time of sample extraction will also be reported and used to evaluate the overall method accuracy and precision.

Subject Last Sampling Round for Decatur 600 series wells prior to abandonment
History.
This message has been forwarded.
Kent and Michelle:
The fourteen 60 0 series off-site wells at Decatur are scheduled for sampling prior to well abandonment. The following excerpt from the attached spreadsheet shows earlier analytical data for these wells and should be used to determ ine appropriate spiking ranges for P FB S , P F H S , P F O S and P FO A . A nalyses will be under the G L P protocols P 3 2 6 7 and P 2368.
In addition to bottle sets for sam ples from each of the 14 wells, two equipm ent rinseate blank bottles and M illi-Q w ater and two trip blank bottle sets should be provided for the Q C samples.
Sam pling will be perform ed by Tim Frinak during the w ee k of S eptem ber 17. C an the bottle sets be prepped and shipped later next week for Friday Septem ber 14 arrival at Decatur?
