^ The LCS and LCSD were within the acceptance limits for each applicable <br />analysis. <br />^ All initial and continuing calibration blanks (ICB/CCB) associated with each <br />applicable analytical batch were below the reporting limit for the requested <br />analytes. <br />^ All initial and continuing calibration verifications (ICV/CCV) associated with <br />each applicable analytical batch were within the acceptance criteria for the <br />requested analytes. This indicates a valid calibration and stable instrument <br />conditions. <br />8. Matrix specific quality control procedures. <br />Sample 0612084-1 was designated as the quality control sample for the pH and <br />specific conductance analyses. Due to limited sample volume, matrix QC was <br />limited to a laboratory control sample and laboratory control sample duplicate for <br />the TSS batch. Per method requirements, matrix QC was performed for the <br />chloride and sulfate analysis. Since a sample from this order number was not the <br />selected quality control (QC) sample, matrix specific QC results are not included <br />in this report. <br />Similazity of matrix and therefore relevance of the QC results should not be <br />automatically inferred for any sample other than the native sample selected for <br />QC. <br />^ A sample duplicate was prepared and analyzed with the pH and specific <br />conductance batches. All guidance criteria for precision were met. <br />9. Electrical conductivity screening indicated that the concentration of dissolved <br />salts was high in the sample. Therefore, it was necessary to dilute the sample <br />prior to injection into the ion chromatograph in order to minimize the amount of <br />salts loaded into the analytical column. <br />It was necessazy to further dilute the sample in order to bring the chloride <br />concentration into the analytical range of the ion chromatograph (IC). <br />A reduced aliquot was taken of the sample for the TSS analysis. Reporting limits <br />were elevated accordingly. <br />10. Manual integrations aze performed when needed to provide consistent and <br />defensible data following the guidelines in Paragon Analytics Standazd Operating <br />Procedure 939 Revision 2. <br />
