transmitted with the samples from Grant to Barringer. The analyses pertormed
included:
A whole-rock analysis of the CKD (BG-1) to determine the total elemental
composition of the dust. The CKD was analyzed for the constituents listed
in Table 4.1. This table also includes the analytical method and detection
limit.
Leachate analysis of the CKD and other solid materials was performed
using the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Synthetic
Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP), SW-846 Method 1312 to
determine the concentration of constituents in the leachate. The resulting
leachates were analyzed for the constituents listed in Table 4.2. This table
also includes the analytical method and detection limit.
The SPLP is a rotary agitation method where constituents in the sample
material are leached with an amount of extraction fluid equal to 20 times the
weight of the sample material. About 100 grams of sample material is used in
each leaching test. Extraction fluid #2 was used for the extractions. Extraction
fluid #2 consists of a 60/40 weight percent mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids
added to deionized water until the pH is adjusted to 5.1±0.05. The sample
material and extraction fluid are placed in a glass extraction vessel that is
rotated at 30 t 2 revolutions per minute for 18 t 2 hours at a temperature of
23 t 2 degrees Centigrade. After agitation, the extract liquid is decanted,
filtered, and analyzed. The SPLP leaching solution is representative of the
composition of precipitation for the western U. S. The leachates were
simulated in the laboratory as they might form under natural conditions by
leaching the solid sample with a synthetic precipitation solution.
Analysis of the groundwater samples for the constituents listed in Table
4.2. This table also includes the analytical method and detection limit.
4.2.2 Laboratory Quality Assurance/Quality Control
With the exception of analyses for which no EPA analytical protocol was
available, all analyses were conducted using EPA-approved methods specified in
SW-846. Routine laboratory QAiQC procedures were used for the analyses. The
QC measures included duplicate samples, matrix spike samples, and certified
standards. Duplicate samples were analyzed to determine the reproducibility of
the results. Matrix spike samples were analyzed to determine sample matrix
characteristics. Spike analyses consist of adding a known amount of each
analyte to a sample and determining the percent recovery. The concentration of
each analyte relative to the known added concentration provides an estimate of
the reliability of the analysis and the properties of the sample matrix. Laboratory
certified standards were also used to verify the accuracy of the analytical results.
