2 Summary
-
'
The 3M Environmental Laboratory received ground water samples from wells located at the Former Sludge Incorporation Area (FSIA) in Decatur, AL, representing thirty different sampling locations. A total of one hundred sixty-nine sample bottles were received at the 3M Environmental Laboratory for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHS) and perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), and included duplicate ground water samples from each sampling location. Samples also included at least two field matrix spike (FMS) samples for each location, four trip blank sets containing M illi-QTM water and appropriate trip blank spikes, and two equipment rinseate blanks. In addition, one soil equipment rinseate blank from GLP10-01-02-12 was analyzed. The equipment rinseate blanks did not have FMS samples prepared for determination of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS recovery.
The ground water samples, trip blanks and two equipment rinseate blanks associated with GLP10-0102-11 were received from Weston personnel on November 18, 2010. The soil equipment rinseate blank associated with GLP10-01-02-12 was received from Weston personnel on October 15,2010. All of the samples were prepared and analyzed for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS following 3M Environmental Laboratory Method ETS-8-044.0 and conducted under 3M project GLP-10-01-02-011. Many of the ground water samples required dilution to attain PFBS, PFHS, and/or POFS concentrations within the range of the curve, in some instances up to 100-fold dilution were required. The average measured PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS concentrations are summarized in Table 1. The equipment rinseate and the trip blank samples were below the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), indicating adequate control of sample contamination during shipping and sample collections.
The PFBS concentration results for all ground water samples ranged from 0.0431 ng/mL to 81.2 ng/mL. The PFHS concentration results for all ground water samples ranged from 0.0914 ng/mL to 839 ng/mL. The PFOS concentration results for all ground water samples ranged from 0.315 ng/mL to 1510 ng/mL. The analytical method uncertainties associated with the reported results are: PFBS + 20%, PFHS + 22% and PFOS + 33%. For some samples, the method uncertainty was expanded for PFHS or PFOS.

3 Introduction
This analytical study was conducted as part of the Phase 3 Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program for the 3M facility located in Decatur, Alabama. The objective of the overall program is to gain information regarding concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHS) and perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), in various environmental media such as ground water, soils and sediments that are associated with and near the Decatur facility. This analytical study was conducted to analyze ground water samples collected from various wells located at the Former Sludge Incorporation Area (FSAI) in Decatur, AL for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in an effort to characterize on site groundwater conditions. The 3M Environmental Laboratory prepared sample containers (250 mL high-density polyethylene bottles) which were shipped to Decatur, AL Weston personnel prior to field sampling. Sample containers for each sampling location included a field sample, field sample duplicate, and a minimum of two field matrix spike samples. Each empty container was marked with a "fill to here" line to produce a final sample volume of 200 mL. Containers designated for field matrix samples were fortified with an appropriate matrix spike solution containing PFBS (linear), PFHS (linear), and PFOS (linear) prior to being sent to the field for sample collection. See section 8.8 of the report for field matrix spike levels. The aqueous equipment rinseate samples were collected in plain bottles without markings or fortifications. Samples were prepared and analyzed according to the procedure defined in 3M Environmental Laboratory method ETS-8-044.0 "Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds In Water by High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Direct Injection Analysis". Table 1 summarizes the average PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS concentrations for the duplicate samples collected, the trip blanks, aqueous equipment rinseate blanks, and aqueous soil-equipment rinseate blank samples. Tables 10-44 summarize the individual sample results and the associated field matrix spike recoveries. All results for the quality control samples prepared and analyzed with the samples are reported and discussed elsewhere in this report

7 Method Summary
7.1 Methods
Analysis for all analytes was completed following 3M Environmental Laboratory method ETS-8-044.0 "Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds In Water by High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Direct Injection Analysis".
7.2 Sample Collection
Samples were collected in 250 mL NalgeneTM (hlgh-density polyethylene) bottles prepared at the 3M Environmental Laboratory. Sample bottles associated with GLP10-01-02-11 were returned to the laboratory at ambient conditions on November 18, 2010. The equipment rinseate blank associated with GLP10-01 -02-12 was returned to the laboratory at ambient conditions on October 15,2010. 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 each cooler of sample collection bottles.
7.3 Sample Preparation
Samples were prepared by removing an aliquot of the well mixed sample and placing it in an autovial for analysis.
Samples that required dilution were prepared by dilutions of 1mL sample with 9 mLs of Milli Q water (dilution 1:10). Most sampling locations were diluted 1:100 by further diluting the 1:10 dilution with additional Milli Q water.

7.4 Analysis
All study samples and quality control samples were analyzed for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS using high performance liquid chromatography/ tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). Detailed instrument parameters, the liquid chromatography gradient program, and the specific mass transitions analyzed are described in the raw data hard copies placed in the final data packet, and are briefly described below.
All samples were initially prepared on 12/30/10. Due to the large number of samples requiring analysis, along with network communication errors that were experienced during the analysis, the samples were broken up into three analytical runs. The LCS samples prepared with the samples on 12/30/10 were re analyzed with each analytical batch analyzed on ETS Buster from 1/7/11 -1 /4 /1 1 .

8 Analytical Results ?
8.1 Calibration
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 prepared in Milli Q water. A total of fifteen spiked standards ranging from 0.025 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL (nominal) were analyzed. Low or high curve points may have been disabled to meet method criteria. A quadratic, 1/x weighted, calibration curve of the peak area counts was used to fit the data for each analyse. The data were not forced through zero during the fitting process. Calculating the standard concentrations using the peak area 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. The correlation coefficient (r) was greater than 0.995 for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS.
8.2 System Suitability
A calibration standard was analyzed four times at the beginning of each analytical sequence to demonstrate overall system suitability. The acceptance criteria of less than or equal to 5% relative standard deviation (RSD) for peak area and retention time criteria of less than or equal to 2% RSD was met for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS.
8.3 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 LOQ for all analytes can be found in Table 6.

8.4 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% for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS.
8.5 Blanks
Two types of blanks were prepared and analyzed with the samples: method blanks and field/trip blanks. Method blank results were reviewed and used to evaluate method performance and to determine the LOQ for each analyte
8.6 Lab Control Spikes (LCSs)
Low, mid, and high-level lab control spikes were prepared and analyzed in triplicate with each preparation set. LCSs were prepared by spiking known amounts of the analyte into Milli Q water to produce the desired concentration. The spiked water samples were then prepared and analyzed in the same manner as the samples. The method acceptance criteria, average of LCS at each level should be within 100% 20% with an RSD <20%AII samples were initially prepared on 12/30/10. Due to the large number of samples requiring analysis, along with network communication errors that were experienced during the analysis, the samples were broken up into three analytical runs. The LCS samples prepared with the samples on 12/30/10 were re-analyzed with each analytical batch analyzed on ETS Buster from 1/7/11 -1/4/11.
1/7/11 Analysis: Due to an autosampler error, the third replicate of the low set of LCS samples did not inject. The average recovery for the low set of LCS for PFBS was 122% and for PFHS 123%. All other LCS analyzed in this run met method acceptance criteria.
1/10/11 Analysis: The low set of LCS samples for PFHS had an average recovery of 122%. All other LCS analyzed in this run met method acceptacne criteria.
1/14/11 Analysis: All three sets of LCS method acceptance criteria for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS.
2/11/11 Analysis: All three sets of LCS method acceptance criteria for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS.
As the reference material used for quantitation of PFOS is predominantly linear, and the PFOS present in the water samples are comprised of both linear and branched isomers, additional LCS samples of
Page 16 of 104
GLP10-01-02; Interim Report 11 Analysis of PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS in Groundwater Former Sludge Incorporation Area - November 2010
PFOS (linear and branched) were prepared at three concentrations in triplicate to evaluate the potential for analytical bias. 1/7/11 Analysis: The low and mid sets of linear and branched PFOS LCS met method acceptance criteria, while the average recovery of the high set of LCS samples was 123%. 1/10/11 Analysis: The low and mid sets of linear and branched PFOS LCS met method acceptance criteria while the high set had an average recovery of 121%. 1/14/11 Analysis: All three sets of linear and branched PFOS LCS met method acceptance criteria. 2/11/11 Analysis: The low and mid sets of linear and branched PFOS LCS met method acceptance criteria while the high set had an average recovery of 133%. The recovery of the high sets of linear and branched PFOS suggest possible analytical bias when samples containing both linear and branched isomers of PFOS are quantitated against a calibration curve constructed of primarily linear PFOS. Therefore, the analytical method uncertainty for this study has been adjusted based on the highest average recovery of the linear and branched PFOS LCS samples to 33%. The following calculations were used to generate data in Table 7 for laboratory control spikes.

8.7 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 most recent 50 data points were used to generate the method uncertainty values listed in Table 8. The analytical method uncertainty for PFOS when calculated following the above described procedure was found to be 18%. However, due to potential analytical bias that was observed when quantitating LCS samples containing linear and branched isomers of PFOS, the analytical for PFOS has been expanded to 33%.

8.8 Field Matrix Spikes (FMS)
Low, mid and high field matrix spikes (FMS) were collected at each sampling point (low and high FMS only at 131R, 134R, and 135R) to verify that the analytical method is applicable to the collected matrix. Field matrix spikes were generated by adding a measured volume of field sample to a container spiked by the laboratory with PFBS (linear), PFHS (linear), and PFOS (linear) 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. Field matrix spike concentrations must be 50% of the sample concentration to be considered an appropriate field spike. Field matrix spikes are presented in section 9 of this report.

8.9 Laboratory Matrix Spikes (LMS)
The mid FMS sample for DAL GW 144R analyzed on 1/10/11 did not meet method acceptance criteria for PFOS with a recovery of 28.7%. The high FMS sample analyzed on 1/10/11 exceeded the instrument calibration range. Further dilution of the high FMS sample was not performed since the high FMS sample (spike level 978 ng/mL) was not appropriate as compared to the observed sample concentration. The sample set was reanalyzed on 2/28/11 along with a 50 ng/mL laboratory matrix spike. Laboratory 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. See section 9 for a discussion of the PFOS results.
9 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 and rinseate blanks. Results and average values are rounded to three significant figures according to EPA rounding rules. Because of rounding, values may vary slightly from those listed in the raw data. Field matrix spike recoveries meeting the method acceptance criteria of 30%, demonstrate that the method was appropriate for the given matrix and their respective quantitative ranges.
DAL GW 134S - The recovery of the low FMS sample for PFHS was 135%. The mid and high FMS samples met method acceptance criteria. Since the low spike was the most appropriate spike level as compared to the sample concentration, the analytical uncertainty has been adjusted for PFHS to 100% 35%.
DAL GW 137S - The recovery of the mid FMS sample for PFOS was 58.8%, while the recovery of the high FMS was 59.4%. Since the mid spike was the most appropriate spike level as compared to the sample concentration, the analytical uncertainty has been adjusted for PFOS to 100% 41%.
DAL GW 1 4 4 R -The sample set was diluted 1:10 and analyzed on 1/10/11. The recovery of the mid FMS sample for PFOS was 28.7%. The high FMS sample exceeded the instrument calibration range. Further dilution of the high FMS sample was not performed since the high FMS sample (spike level 978 ng/mL) was not appropriate as compared to the sample concentration. The sample set was re-diluted and analyzed on 2/28/11 along with a 49.8 ng/mL laboratory matrix spike. The recovery of the mid FMS sample was 33.4%, and the recovery of the LMS sample was 29.4%. Since the recovery of both matrix spike samples was <50%, no PFOS results will be reported for DAL GW 144R.

2 Background Information and Project Objective(s)
The 3M EHS Operations Laboratory (3M Environmental Lab) will receive and analyze groundwater samples collected from twenty-seven groundwater wells for Perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), Perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) from the Former Sludge Incorporation Area (FSIA). Analyses will be conducted under the GLP requirements of EPA TSCA Good Laboratory Practice Standards 40 CFR 792. Groundwater samples from Decatur, AL will be collected by Weston Solutions personnel the week of October 25, 2010. The 3M Environmental Laboratory will prepare the sample bottles with all required spikes to ensure that results for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS are of a known precision and accuracy. The final report will be submitted to Gary Hohenstein and Jai Kesari upon completion under interim report GLP1001-02-11.
3 Project Schedule
Sample collection bottles will be prepared by 3M Environmental Laboratory for sampling the week of June 21, 2010. Sample bottles will be shipped in coolers overnight to 3M Decatur for arrival on Friday, June 18,2010. Sample bottles should be stored refrigerated on-site until sample collection. Martin Smith \ Weston Trailer 3M Decatur Plant 1400 State Docks Road Decatur, Alabama 35601
4 Test Parameters
The targeted limit of quantitation will be 0.025 ng/mL (ppb) for PFBS, PFHS, and PFOS. A total of thirty-four sampling locations have been specified. For each sampling location, a sample, sample duplicate and a minimum of two field matrix spikes will be collected. Table 1 indicates the well ID and corresponding field spike levels. The "fill to here" line on each 250 mL Nalgene bottle will be 200 mL. Four sets of trip blanks consisting of reagent-grade water, a low-level trip blank spike, mid-level field spike, mid-high field spike, and a high-level trip blank spike will be prepared at the 3M Environmental Laboratory and sent to the sampling location with the other bottles. Two additional bottles will be prepared to be used for the preparation of the equipment rinseate blanks. A total of 189 sample bottles will be prepared.

5 Test Methods
Samples will be prepared and analyzed by LC/MS/MS following ETS-8-044.0 "Determination of Perfluorinated Compounds In Water by High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Direct Injection Analysis". 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. Based on the results from previously collected samples from the FSIA (GLP10-01 -02-07), most sampling locations will require dilution with laboratory reagent water prior to sample analysis by ETS-8-044.0.
Alternately, samples may be analyzed by ETS 8-154.3 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates In Water By Solid Phase Extraction and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry".
6 Reporting Requirements
For each sampling location, the report will contain the results for the sample, sample duplicate, and field matrix spikes. Trip blank and trip blank spikes will be reported for the sampling event as will any equipment/rinseate blanks prepared in the field. Laboratory control spikes of reagent water prepared at the time of sample preparation will also be reported and used to evaluate the overall method accuracy and precision. Method blanks of reagent water prepared at the time of sample preparation will be used to determine the method detection limit. For those sampling locations where the field matrix spike level was not appropriate, due to higher than expected analyte concentrations, a laboratory matrix spike may be prepared and will be included in the final report.

1 Scope and Application
This method is to be used to quantify Perfiuorobutanoic Acid (PFBA), Perfluoropentanoic Acid (PFPeA), Perfluorohexanoic Acid (PFHA), Perfluoroheptanoic Acid (PFHpA), Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), Perfluorononanoic Acid (PFNA), Perfluorodecanoic Acid (PFDA), Perfluoroundecanoic Acid (PFUnA), Perfluorododecanoic Acid (PFDoA), Perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS), Perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) by High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to a tandem Mass Spectrometric Detector (LC/MS/MS) in clean water samples. Water samples containing heavy particulate may require preparation by an alternate method such as ETS-8-154 "Determination of Perfluorinated Acids, Alcohols, Amides, and Sulfonates In Water By Solid Phase Extraction and High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry".
This method is considered a performance-based method. Data is considered acceptable as long as the defined QC elements are satisfied.
Sample collection is not covered under this analytical procedure.
2 Method Summary
Clean aqueous samples are analyzed by direct injection using LC/MS/MS. Samples containing heavy particulate may not be suitable for analysis by this method. Samples containing suspended particulate should be centrifuge prior to removing a sample aliquot, or filtered.
This is a performance-based method. Method accuracy is determined for each sample set using multiple laboratory control spikes at multiple concentrations. This method also requires that the precision and accuracy for each sample be determined using field matrix spikes to verify that the method is applicable to each sample matrix. Sample results for spikes outside of 70% to 130%, may be flagged as such (with expanded accuracy statements), or will not be reported due to non-compliant quality control samples.
Fortification levels for field matrix spikes and for laboratory matrix spikes should be at least 50% of the endogenous level and less than 10 times the endogenous level to be used to determine the statement of accuracy for analytical results.
3 Definitions
3.1 Calibration Standard
A solution prepared by spiking a known volume of the Working Standard (WS) into a predetermined amount of ASTM Type I, HPLC grade water, or other suitable water, and analyzed according to this method. Calibration standards are used to calibrate the instrument response with respect to analyte concentration.
3.2 Laboratory Duplicate Sample (LDS, or Lab Dup)
A laboratory duplicate sample is a separate aliquot of a sample taken in the analytical laboratory that is 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.
3.3 Field Blank (FB)/Trip Blank
ASTM Type I, HPLC grade water, or other suitable water, 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.

3.4 Field Duplicate Sample (FDS, Field Dup)
A sample collected in duplicate at the same time from the same location as the sample. The FDS is handled 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.
3.5 Field Matrix Spike (FMS)
A sample to which known quantities of the target analytes are added to the sample bottle in the laboratory before the bottles are sent to the field for collection of aqueous samples. 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 between approximately 50% and 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. The FMS is analyzed to ascertain if any matrix effects, interferences, or stability issues may complicate the interpretation of the sample analysis.
3.6 Trip Blank Spike (Field Spike Control Sample, FSCS)
An aliquot of ASTM Type I, HPLC grade water, or other suitable water, to which known quantities of the target analytes are added in the laboratory prior to the shipment of the collection bottles. The FSCS is extracted and analyzed exactly like a study sample to help determine if the method is in control and whether a loss of analyte could be attributed to holding time, sample storage and/or shipment issues. A low and high FSCS are appropriate when expected sample concentrations are not known or may vary. At least one separate, un-spiked sample must be taken at the same time and place as each FMS.
3.7 Laboratory Control Sample (LCS)
An aliquot of control matrix 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.
3.8 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 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. LMSs are optional for analysis of aqueous samples.
3.9 Laboratory Sample
A portion or aliquot of a sample received from the field for testing.
3.10 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 matrix-dependent.
The upper limit of quantitation (ULOQ) for a dataset is the highest concentration that can be reliably quantitated 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.

3.11 Method Blank
An aliquot of control matrix 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.
3.12 Sample
A sample is an aliquot removed from a larger quantity of material intended to represent the original source material.
3.13 Stock Standard Solution (SSS)
A concentrated solution of a single-analyte prepared in the laboratory with an assayed reference compound.
3.14 Surrogate
A compound similar in chemical composition and behavior to the target analyte(s), but 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. Surrogate(s) are added to quantitatively evaluate the entire analytical procedure including sample collection, preparation, and analysis. Inclusion of a surrogate analyte is an optional quality control measure and is NOT required.
3.15 Working Standard (WS)
A solution of several analytes prepared in the laboratory from SSSs and diluted as needed to prepare calibration standards and other required analyte solutions.

8 Sample Handling
8.1 Water Sample Preparation
This method is applicable to clean water samples. Samples containing heavy particulate may not be suitable for analysis by this method. Samples containing suspended particulate should be centrifuge prior to removing a sample aliquot, or filtered.
Thoroughly mix sample before removing an aliquot and placing in a labeled plastic autovial. Plastic is preferred over the use of glass autovials, to prevent the possibly of fluorochemical sticking to the glass.
Dilute sample, if necessary, with ASTM Type I, HPLC water, or other suitable water.
Prepare method QC samples and multiple method blanks and aliquot into labeled plastic autovials.
Prepare at least five method blanks.
9 Sample Analysis - LC/MS/MS
Analyze the standard curve prior to each set of samples. The standard curve may be plotted using a linear fit, weighted 1/x or unweighted, or by quadratic fil (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.
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. 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%. 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.
If the calibration curve does not meet acceptance criteria, perform routine maintenance or prepare a new standard curve (if necessary) and reanalyze.
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.
Samples containing analytes that are quantitated above the concentration of the highest standard in the curve should be further diluted and reanalyzed.
10 Quality Control
10.1 Data Quality Objectives
This method and required quality control samples is designed to generate data accurate to 30% with a targeted LOQ of 0.025 ng/mL. Any deviations from the quality control measures spelled out below will be documented in the raw data and footnoted in the final report.
10.2 Method Blanks
Method blanks must be prepared with each analysis batch. At least five method blanks must be prepared. Method blanks may be injected multiple times, but no more than 3 injections should be removed from a single method blank. At a minimum, method blanks are analyzed prior to instrument calibration, prior to the analysis of CCV samples, and at the end of the analytical run.
The mean area count for each analyte in the method blanks must be less than 50% of the area count of the LOQ standard. The standard deviation of the area counts of these method blanks should be calculated and reported. If the mean area counts of the method blanks exceed 50% of the LOQ standard, then the LOQ must be raised to the first standard level in the curve that meets criteria, or alternatively, the method blanks must be evaluated statistically to determine outliers, or technical justification to eliminate one or more results should be made.
10.3 Sample Replicates
Samples duplicates are collected in the field. The relative percent difference, RPD, should be reported. RPD results greater than 20% will be flagged in the report, but will not be excluded from reporting. The requirement for replicates excludes field blanks.
10.4 Surrogate Spikes
Surrogate spikes are not required but may be used on project specific requirements.
10.5 Lab Control Sample
Triplicate lab control spikes at a minimum of two different concentrations are to be prepared with each preparation batch. Low lab control spikes should be prepared at concentrations in the range of five to ten times higher than the targeted LOQ and high lab control spikes should be prepared at concentrations near the mid-point of the curve. The relative standard deviation of the control spikes evaluated independently at each concentration level must be less than or equal to 20% and the average recovery must be 80-120%. If the above criteria are not met, the entire set of samples should be re-injected or re-prepared as appropriate.

10.6 Field Matrix Spikes / Lab Matrix Spikes
Recoveries of field matrix spikes and laboratory matrix spikes are anticipated to be between 70% and 130% of the fortified levels. Sample results for spikes outside of 70% to 130%, may be flagged as such (with expanded accuracy statements), or will not be reported due to non-compliant quality control samples.
The targeted fortification levels should be at least 50% of the endogenous level and less than 10 times the endogenous level to be used without justification to determine the statement of accuracy for analytical results.
The average of the sample and the field duplicate should be used to calculate the recovery.
11 Data Analysis and Calculations
Use the following equation to calculate the amount of analyte found (in ng/mL, based on peak area) using the standard curve (linear regression parameters) generated by an appropriate software program:
. .. ,
. . . (Peak Area-Intercept) nr.
Analyte found (ng/mL) = --------------------------- -- x DF
DF = factor by which the final volume was diluted, if necessary.
For samples fortified with known amounts of analyte prior to extraction, use the following equation to calculate the percent recovery.
Total analyte found (ng/mL) - Average analyte found in sample (ng/mL)
Recovery =
x100
Analyte added (ng/mL)
12 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 Technical Manager (nonGLP study) or Study Director (GLP study) 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 appropriate. 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.
12.1 System Suitability
System Suitability standards are not a required component of this method. If required by protocol or by the technical manager, a minimum of three system suitability samples are injected at the beginning of each analytical run prior to the calibration curve. Typically these samples are at a concentration near the mid level of the calibration curve and 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.
12.2 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%.
CCV Performance: The calibration standards that are interspersed throughout the analytical sequence are evaluated as continuing calibration verifications in addition to being part of the calibration curve. The accuracy of each curve point must be within 25% of the theoretical value (within 30% for lowest curve point). Samples that are bracketed by CCVs not meeting these criteria must be reanalyzed.

Demonstration o f Specificity: Specificity is demonstrated by chromatographic retention time (within 4% of standard) and the mass spectral response of unique ions.
12.3 Sensitivity
The targeted limit of quantitation for all analytes is 0.025 ng/mL. The LOQ for any specific analyte may vary depending on the evaluation of appropriate blanks and the accuracy of the low-level calibration curve points. Refer to Section 10 for additional details.
12.4 Accuracy
This method and required quality control samples are designed to generate data that are accurate to +/-30%. Section 10 contains additional information regarding the required accuracy of laboratory control spikes, field matrix spikes and laboratory matrix spikes.
12.5 Precision
Samples should be collected in duplicate in the field. The relative percent difference, RPD, should be reported. RPD results greater than 20% will be flagged in the report, but will not be excluded from reporting. The requirement for replicates excludes field blanks or rinse blanks.
Section 10 contains additional information regarding the required precision of laboratory control spikes.
13 Pollution Prevention and Waste Management
Waste generated when performing this method will be disposed of appropriately. The original samples will be archived at the 3M Environmental Laboratory in accordance with internal procedures.
14 Records
Each data package generated fo ra study must include all supporting information for reconstruction 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.

(1 j LCS average recovery of 100% 20%.
Document Number: ETS-8-044.0
(2) Sample/Sample Duplicate RPD <20%. (3) Field matrix spike recovery of 100% 30%.
Actual procedure/process: (1) 1/7/11; the average recovery for the low set of LCS for PFBS was 123% and for PFHS 123%. The average recovery of the high set of ECF LCS samples for PFOS was 123%. 1/10/11 ; the low set of LCS samples for PFHS had an average recovery of 122%. The average recovery of the high set of ECF LCS samples for PFOS was 121%. 2/11/11; the high set of ECF LCS for PFOS had an average recovery of 133%.
(2) PFOS RPD value for DAL GW 137S was 33%.
(3) PFOS FMS recovery; DAL GW 137S (59.4%) and DAL GW 144R (28.7%). PFHS FMS recovery; DAL GW 134S (135%).__________________________________________________________________________
III. Actions Taken
(such as amendment issued, SOP revision, etc.) Corrective Action ( Yes 0 No) Reference:
Acceptability of the nonconform ing work: 1) In general, the ECF LCSs for PFOS have been running 15-20% higher when quantitated using linear PFOS. All LCS were used in the determination of method uncertainty. The determination of the method uncertainty by ETS-12-012.2 was 18%. However, due to potential analytical bias that was observed when quantitating LCS samples containing linear and branched isomers of PFOS, the analytical for PFOS for this study has been expanded to 33%.
2) Sampling locations with RPD values 220% will be footnoted in the data tables.
3) Analytical uncertainties for DAL GW 137S and DAL GW 134S will be adjusted accordingly. Sampling location DAL GW 144R - PFOS results will not be reported. Samples were re-diluted and a LMS samples was prepared. Recoveries for the LMS sample for PFOS were still ~30% for the re-analysis.
