1 <br />those described in USEPA EPA-600/4-79-020, Revised 1983: (Methods <br />' for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes). A list of these <br />methods and their applicable method numbers is given as Appendix C. <br />Appropriate and specified methods for WAD cyanide would be ASTM <br />' Method "C" or APHA/AWWA Standard Methods, 17th Edition, Method <br />4500-CN only, modified to account for the nature of the tailings <br />' matrix and presence of sulfide, nitrate and thiocyanat~. <br />5.3 Quality Control <br />The details of the quality control procedures to be used by the <br />analytical laboratory are contained in their standard operating <br />procedures (SOP), the relevant parts of which are presented in <br />' Appendix A. These quality control procedures are based on, and <br />developed from, the principles described in Chapter 1, USEPA/OSWER <br />' SW-846 (1986, 3rd Edition). <br />Appendix A includes descriptions of protocols for the analysis of <br />reference standards, matrix spiking and recovery analyses, analysis <br />of duplicate samples, and analysis of field and rinsate blanks, <br />together with methods for the assessment of the data so cgenerated. <br />' Appendix D gives the limits required under the analytical <br />laboratory quality control procedures for: <br />(1) Upper and lower acceptance methods for analysis of <br />' reference standards for each analytical parameter and for <br />each analytical method; <br />(2) Upper and lower acceptance limits for matrix spiking <br />recovery analyses for each analytical parameter and for <br />each analytical method; <br />1 <br />' -35- <br />1 <br />
