This document has been prepared by the CLP Sample Management Office specifically for the
guidance and  direction of program  clients.   The organic and inorganic analytical  program
descriptions herein outline  the requirements and analytical procedures of  the new  CLP
protocols  developed  from   technical   caucus  recommendations.    These   protocols  were
implemented into  CLP analysis contracts  in 1987 (inorganic) and  1988 (organic).   Other
analytical  programs, procedures and  documentation described herein reflect  the  status of the
program as  of December  1988.   Critical information  for CLP samplers and  user groups is
contained  in Chapter III  and Appendix D.   This information should be distributed to all
contractors collecting  samples for  the CLP and  to each user group of the  EPA and  of the
States.  For further information on the CLP or to obtain additional copies of the User's Guide,

BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 1
                            A. CLP Objective and Orientation


The  Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) supports the Environmental Protection  Agency's
(EPA) Superfund effort, originally under the  1980  Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation,  and  Liability  Act (CERCLA) and presently  under  the  1986 Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA).  The CLP provides a range of state-of-the-art
chemical analytical services of known quality on a high volume, cost effective basis.  The CLP
is  structured to provide legally defensible  analytical  results  for  use in supporting ongoing
Agency enforcement actions or other requirements of the user community.  Therefore, a level
of quality assurance and documentation  appropriately  designed for the intended purposes of
the data has been incorporated into all aspects of program activities.

Client orientation  is  a key  factor in  the design and application of  all  CLP services  and
responses.  The CLP  supplies analytical services in direct response to requests from the EPA
Regions, the primary  users of the program.  Recently,  states and other Agency programs have
also become part of the CLP  user community.

The  ongoing CLP objective  is to develop,  manage and improve its analytical  programs in
support of  all Superfund requirements.   This objective is accomplished by  continually
increasing  analytical  capacity  and adjusting  analytical program requirements  and  related
support services to better meet Agency  needs.


                                   B.  CLP Structure


CLP services involve numerous Agency programs, contractors and other groups throughout the
country.   These organizations are identified and their role in the program  described in the
following sections.  The following figure, "Interrelationships of Program Principals," illustrates
the interaction of these groups in CLP operation.  In addition,  a directory listing addresses and
telephone numbers of key program personnel  is located  in Appendix B.


1.   Program Management

a.   National Program Office

The CLP is directed by the National Program Office (NPO), in EPA  Headquarter's Analytical
Operations Branch (AOB), Hazardous Site Evaluation Division (HSED), Office of Solid Waste
and Emergency Response (OSWER), located in Washington,  DC.  The  NPO is  comprised of the
AOB  Branch Chief;  National  Organics  and  Inorganics  Program  Managers;  a  Regional
Operations  Chief;  a  Quality  Assurance  Coordinator;  and Organics,  Inorganics and  Dioxin
Technical Project Officers.

NPO  responsibilities include:  overall management of the CLP  in terms of program objectives;
expansion and  interface with  clients  and other groups;  policy and budget  formation  and
implementation;  development and administration  of  CLP analytical  and  support services
contracts;  development  and   technical  review  of  analytical  protocols; review  of  Special
Analytical  Services subcontracts and CLP-generated laboratory  data; monitoring  and formal
evaluation  of analytical and  support contractors; and  direction  of CLP quality  assurance in
coordination with overall OSWER quality assurance activities.

CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 1


The  National  Organics  and Inorganics  Program Managers (NPMs), in addition  to  directing
organics and inorganics  section staff,  are responsible for the formulation of CLP policies and
direction.   By communicating with Regional and Agency communities on a continuing basis,
the NPMs keep all parties  apprised of  program  activities  and  receive input  on program
effectiveness.  The NPMs also direct annual technical caucuses for the purpose  of  reporting
initiatives and progress of the past year.

The  Regional  Operations Chief directs a staff responsible for the Sample  Management Office
contract, the Environmental Services Assistance Teams contracts, the Sample Bottle Repository
contracts,  and the Shipment  Management  contract.   In addition,  the  Regional Operations
Section manages the supply and demand between CLP capacity  and client  needs, and provides
budget support and administration.

The  Quality Assurance  (QA) Coordinator manages  all aspects of program application of QA
procedures.  The QA Coordinator works closely with Office of Research and Development's
Environmental  Monitoring  Systems  Laboratory  in  Las  Vegas  (ORD   EMSL/LV)  in
administering  and  improving the QA program.  The QA Coordinator interacts with the Project
Officers in refining and updating analytical method QA and communicates with the Regions
and other program users to  resolve QA issues related to analytical data.  For purposes of QA
procedures review and  guidance development,  the  QA coordinator  conducts  volunteer
workgroups throughout the year.

The  Technical Project Officers (POs)  are responsible for technical  program decisions, contract
monitoring and  contractor performance evaluation.  On a daily basis, the  POs work closely
with the Regional  Deputy Project Officers and  contract laboratories to  resolve  technical issues.
The  POs   also  direct  the  ongoing  effort  to improve  contract  language  and  analytical
methodologies.  For the purposes  of CLP protocol  review and  method development, the POs
conduct volunteer  workgroups throughout the year.

b.  Sample Management Office

The  contractor-operated Sample Management Office (SMO) provides management, operations
and administrative support to the CLP.  The primary objective  of SMO is to facilitate optimal
use of program  analytical resources.  SMC activities fall  into the  following areas:   1) sample
scheduling and  tracking,  2) Contract Compliance  Screening,  3)  Special  Analytical Services
subcontracting,  4) laboratory  invoice processing,  5)  maintenance  of  CLP  records  and
management reporting, 6) procurement/IFB development  and Statement of  Work  production,
7) coordinating CLP meetings  and  conferences  and  8) NPO management, technical  and
administrative support.

SMO routinely  receives  Regional  analytical  requests,  coordinates  and  schedules  sample
analyses, tracks  sample shipment  and  analyses,  receives  and checks data for completeness and
compliance, processes laboratory invoices, and maintains a repository of sampling records and
program  data.   In response  to  client  requests  for  nonroutine  types  of  analyses,  SMO
subcontracts for Special Analytical Services  (SAS), scheduling and  tracking for SAS  efforts as
outlined above.  SMO maintains a comprehensive database of CLP services, performance and
utilization in order to generate a variety of management  and user reports.

-------
Background and Introduction                                              December 1988


c.   Office of Research and Development. Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory/Las
    Vegas

ORD  provides  program  QA support through EMSL/LV.   EMSL/LV  assists  in  performing
preaward and postaward onsite laboratory evaluations; prepares performance evaluation (PE)
samples  for  preaward  and  postaward evaluations  of  laboratory  performance;  evaluates
preaward and postaward PE sample data;  performs QA audits on CLP-generated data;  and
assists  in  the  evaluation   and  development  of  CLP  analytical  methods  and  protocols.
Additionally, EMSL/LV  operates  the program's  QA  database  to conduct  program  and
laboratory trend analyses used  in developing  and updating contract quality control criteria.

d.   National Enforcement Investigations Center

The  National Enforcement  Investigations Center (NEIC) advises  the NPO  in defining  and
applying program enforcement requirements.  NEIC-developed sample custody  procedures,
chain-of-custody records, sample tags,  and  custody seals are utilized in the CLP  to maintain
the validity of  sample analyses for supporting  Agency enforcement actions.  NEIC routinely
performs evidence audits of contract laboratories and generates sample profiles used in Agency
enforcement  litigation.  A description of the enforcement support  provided by NEIC appears
in  Chapter IV, Section E.


2.   Regional Program Support

The Regions play an integral role in program activities, both as the primary CLP user and as a
key part of analytical  program management. The decentralization of program  responsibilities
to  the Regions is  an  effective means of directing program  operations nationwide.  Extended
Regional  participation  in  the program has  and  will  continue  to increase  the program's
responsiveness to Superfund requirements.

a.   Regional Deputy  Project Officers

In 1984, Regional Administrators appointed a  CLP Technical  Deputy Project  Officer  (DPO)
for each Regional office.  Under the  direction of  the NPO, the Regional DPO monitors the
contract laboratories located in the Region.  The DPO works closely with the PO in responding
to identified problems  in  laboratory  operations  and  participating  in  laboratory  onsite
evaluations.

b.   Regional Sample Control Centers

In 1984, each  Region  established  a Regional Sample  Control Center (RSCC) to centralize
scheduling  of CLP sample  analyses within  the  Region.   The  RSCC is comprised of  one or
more  individuals  with one  individual named as the primary RSCC.  The RSCC is responsible
for coordinating  the  level  of  Regional sampling activities  to correspond with the monthly
projected  demand for analytical services.  The primary RSCC makes final  determinations
regarding  Regional analysis priorities  when conflicts occur.   The  RSCC  routinely places all
Regional requests for CLP analyses,  coordinates  with SMO during  sampling  and  sample
shipment, and resolves any problems concerning the samples.  The RSCC also serves  as the
central point of contact for questions concerning Regional sampling efforts.

CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 1


c.   Regional/Laboratory Communication System

In 1983, the NPO established a  system  by which  the  Regions and contract laboratories  can
communicate in the  most timely  and direct manner possible.   In  this communication system,
designated   Regional   communication   contacts   routinely   call   designated   laboratory
communication  contacts  to  resolve  technical  questions  concerning  program  data.   This
communication  link  also  benefits the laboratory by providing direct feedback  on its  data
product.


3.  Clients/Users

a.   EPA Regions

The  ten EPA Regions  are  the primary  clients of the  CLP.   As  previously described, each
Region has established an RSCC that schedules all Regional CLP analysis requests.  The RSCC
balances Regional sampling  with allocated numbers of CLP  sample  analyses  available each
month and prioritizes the  Region's analytical workload when conflicts occur.  RSCC personnel
coordinate closely with SMO throughout Regional sampling events, assisting in tracking sample
shipments to the laboratory and  resolving  any problems that arise.  The RSCC also  processes
analytical requests   from  state  or other  program  users  that are located in  the  Region's
geographical area.

b.  States

Under  RCRA  - CERCLA   Cooperative   Agreements,   any   state  undertaking   initial   site
investigations  and entering into cooperative agreements with the Government for clean up of
local  waste sites can utilize CLP  services.  States must  access CLP analytical services through
the RSCC.  Data packages are also distributed to states through the RSCC.

c.  NonSuoerfund Clients

Program services are available to support  nonSuperfund clients.   NonSuperfund analyses  and
other  support are provided  by  the  CLP through  transfer of funds from the nonSuperfund
program to the  CLP.  NonSuperfund clients currently include  other government agencies  and
EPA  programs,  such as the Office of  Acid Deposition, the Office of Solid  Waste, the Office
of Water, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery  Act.

4.  Analytical and Support Services Contractors

a.  Contract Analytical Laboratories

The  CLP's analysis  contractors come from the nationwide community of chemical analytical
laboratory  facilities.   To   become  part   of the  CLP,  laboratories must  meet  stringent
requirements and standards for equipment, personnel, laboratory practices, and analytical  and
quality control operations.  Firm, fixed price contracts are awarded  to the lowest responsive,
responsible  bidders  through the  Government's Invitation for Bid  (IFB)  process.   Before  a
contract is  awarded, low priced bidders  must  successfully analyze  performance evaluation
samples and pass a  preaward laboratory  audit.  After contract award,  laboratories are closely
monitored  to  assure compliance  with  the  terms and conditions of the contract.  Details of
preaward and postaward evaluations are addressed in Chapter V.

-------
Background and Introduction                                              December 1988


b.  Sample Bottle Repository

In 1982, the NPO established the Superfund Sample Bottle Repository program  in order to
provide a  common  source  of clean,  quality  control tested  sample  containers for samples
processed  through the CLP.  The  objective of  the  Repository  program is to eliminate the
potential of  bottle  contamination  that would affect  the validity  of sample data.    The
contractor-operated  repositories serve  as a  central source for  several types  of  precleaned
sample containers which  are routinely utilized by Regional and contract personnel performing
Superfund sampling  activities.  Containers are  also available through the Repository program
for nonSuperfund sampling  activities such as those under  the National Surface Water Survey
and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Repository services are detailed in Chapter
IV, Section A.

c.  Shipment Management Program

The Shipment Management  program was created  by the  NPO in  1988 to provide  a consistent
means  of tracking  the various  shipping  accounts  established  for  CLP use.   The Shipment
Management Contractor  is  responsible for  establishing,  maintaining and  monitoring the
shipping accounts  for the  transportation  of sample  containers,  sample  coolers,  contract
compliance screening results and other  items requested by the  NPO.   Further  information on
the Shipment Management program is provided in Chapter IV, Section B.

d.  Environmental Services  Assistance Teams


In 1985, the NPO initiated the concept  of Environmental Services Assistance Teams (ESAT) to
provide a  wide  range of  technical,   management  and other related resource support for
Superfund  and nonSuperfund Agency programs.   ESAT contractors  assist EPA Headquarters
and the Regions in the following task areas:  1) analytical support, 2) data review, 3) logistical
and administrative support, 4) quality  assurance/quality  control  support,  5) management and
reporting, and  6) other  task-related activities.  ESAT  services  are  detailed in Chapter IV,
Section C.

-------
            CHAPTER II
DESCRIPTION OF ANALYTICAL SERVICES

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 2

 The  CLP provides  routine  and  specialized analytical  services  to  support  a  variety  of
 Superfund sampling activities.  These activities range from those associated with the smallest
 preliminary  site investigation  to  those  of large  scale, complex  remedial, monitoring  and
 enforcement actions.  In response to the increasing analytical demands of Regional clients, the
 CLP has continually expanded its capacity for standardized analyses through frequent contract
 solicitations.   On  the average, the CLP  provides  over 6,000  sample analyses  per month
 through its routine and specialized analytical services programs.  The  CLP will continue to
 adjust analytical capabilities and capacity in response to client needs.

 The CLP operates the following analytical programs:

     o   Organic Routine Analytical Services (RAS),
     o   Volatile Organic RAS,
     o   Inorganic RAS,
     o   Dioxin RAS, and
     o   Special Analytical Services (SAS).

 In the future,  many other analytical programs will be included under RAS:

     o   High Concentration Organics
     o   High Concentration Inorganics
     o   Organics Low Concentration (Drinking Water)
     o   Inorganics Low Concentration (Drinking Water)
     o   GC/EC Pesticides/Aroclors
     o   Fast Turnaround GC Screen Organics
     o   Dioxins/Furans
     o   ICP/MS (method to be included in Inorganic RAS), and
     o   Microwave Digestion (method to be included in Inorganic  RAS).

 Laboratories  operating  under  firm,  fixed-price  contracts  with  the  EPA provide  routine
 analytical services to  Superfund clients.  NonSuperfund clients can also access RAS programs
 once special funding arrangements have been made.

 The  SAS   program   provides  nonstandardized   analytical   services  to  Superfund  and
 nonSuperfund clients for organics, inorganics, dioxin  and other compounds in a variety of
 matrices.  SAS services are offered to  meet specific  analytical requirements which do not fall
 under RAS programs  and are solicited  through individual fixed-price subcontracts awarded to
 qualified laboratories.

 The following  tables  outline the  services available under the CLP's RAS  and SAS  programs.
 The client should carefully consider the provisions of each CLP analytical  program during the
 planning stages of a sampling event  to determine  the applicability of the analysis to  user
 needs.  For detailed analytical information, users are instructed to consult the Region's Master
 Copy Statements of Work under which CLP RAS laboratory contractors operate.

Description of Analytical Services                                          December 1988

Routine analytical services apply to the analysis of water and soil/sediment samples.  Samples
for analysis should be single-phase and homogeneous.  Sample  matrices other than water or
soil/sediment are processed through the SAS program.

Organic and inorganic RAS  contract methods determine  low to medium concentrations of
organic target compounds and inorganic target analytes,  respectively.  The sampler identifies
low  and medium  levels  of concentration in the  field to determine sample collection  volume
and  packaging  and shipment procedures.   Low level samples  are  considered  to be  those
collected off site  in areas where hazards  are  thought  to be  significantly  reduced  by normal
environmental processes.  Medium level samples, where a compound or element may comprise
as much as fifteen percent of  the total sample, are most often those collected onsite  in areas of
moderate  dilution  by normal environmental  processes.    The contract laboratory, performs
preliminary characterizations to determine  the  appropriate analytical protocol (low or medium)
to be used.

Required sample volume and  container types used for sample collection for RAS analyses are
detailed  in the following sections and  are  illustrated  in Appendix D.   Cleaned,  quality
controlled  sample  containers are available through the Sample  Bottle Repository  as described in
Chapter IV, Section A.  Containers provided  by the Repository  may  also  be  utilized in SAS
projects as appropriate.

Contract delivery  requirements for each RAS program  are  specified in the following sections.
The  contract laboratory  is required to deliver all analytical  results and  quality  control  (QC)
data for each Sample Delivery Group (SDG) in one data package.  An SDG is defined by one
of the following, whichever occurs first:

     o   each Case of field samples; or
     o   each twenty field samples within a Case; or
     o   each fourteen calendar day period during which field samples in a Case  are received,
        beginning with  the receipt of the first sample in the SDG.

Laboratories are subject to  financial considerations  for late delivery  and incentives for  early
delivery of the  data package.  Illegible or incomplete  data reports are unacceptable, and the
laboratory  must  resubmit readable versions of any illegible pages.

The  CLP QC program for RAS laboratory  analysis is structured to provide consistent results of
known and documented  quality.   Sample data packages contain QC documentation that  allow
an experienced  chemist  to  determine the  quality  of the  data and its applicability to  each
sampling activity.  In addition, laboratory contracts contain provisions  for sample reanalysis  if
specified QC criteria are not  met by the  contract  laboratory.   Each CLP laboratory is also
encouraged to develop additional internal QA/QC procedures.

The  minimum QC requirements  of the RAS programs  consist of both an  initial  and ongoing
demonstration of  laboratory capability  to  generate acceptable performance with  the contract
methods.   The contract  laboratory must demonstrate that instrument  calibration  criteria have
been met,  that interferences from the analytical  system are under control,  and  that spike and
duplicate recoveries falling outside contract  acceptance  windows are attributable  to  sample
matrix interferences and not  to  laboratory analytical errors.  The QC requirements for each
RAS program are provided in  the following sections.

CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 2


                          A.  Organic Routine Analytical Services


1.  Compounds Identified and Quantified

The organic RAS program identifies and quantifies organic target compounds (VOA, B/N/A
and pesticide/PCB fractions).  These compounds are listed on the organic data reporting sheets
in Appendix C.

In addition, the  contract laboratory  is required to execute a maximum of  thirty NBS Mass
Spectral Library  searches for compounds not identified on the Target Compound List (TCL).
The ten peaks of greatest apparent concentration in the VOA fraction and the twenty peaks in
the B/N/A  fraction are  tentatively identified, and the  concentration estimated, following  a
visual  comparison of  sample  spectra  with  the  nearest  library  matches.   The  tentative
identification  of non-target  organic  compounds provides information  on  potential organic
contaminants outside of the analytical  parameters of the RAS program.

2.  Volumes Required and Preservation Techniques

For low level organic water samples, a one  gallon volume is required for extractables analysis;
80 mL is required for volatiles analysis. The extractables aliquot is collected in two 80-ounce,
four 1-liter, or one 4-liter amber glass bottle(s).  The volatiles aliquot is collected in two  40-
mL glass vials.  For medium level organic  water samples, a four liter volume is required for
extractables analysis;  80  mL is  required for volatiles analysis.  The extractables aliquot is
collected in four  32-ounce glass jars; the volatiles aliquot is collected in two 40-mL glass vials.
For low/medium level  organic soil samples,  a six ounce volume is  required for extractables
analysis and 240  mL is required  for volatiles analysis.  The extractables aliquot is collected in
one 8-ounce glass jar, and the volatiles aliquot is collected in two 120-mL glass  vials.  Water
and soil samples  for volatile analysis should be collected  so that the  containers are completely
filled,  leaving  no headspace.   Because it is not certain  whether a  sample  is actually low or
medium level,  samplers should collect volumes as  specified for low  level samples, but follow
packaging and  shipment procedures as prescribed  for medium level samples.  Packaging  and
shipment procedures are detailed in Chapter III, Section D.

Water samples  for VOA analysis should be  preserved with HCL.  No chemical preservation is
necessary for water samples for extractables analysis or for soil samples.

For a laboratory  to perform matrix spikes, matrix spike duplicates, and contractual reanalyses,
triple  the  sample volume is required  for at least  one  sample  in twenty of the  same
concentration  and  matrix for each  Case.    For  water  samples, one field  blank should  be
supplied per Case, and  one volatile trip blank should be supplied per shipment.  No additional
volume is required for duplicate analyses of soil samples.  EMSL/LV supplies soil blanks to
the Regions; aqueous  blanks must not be  used  for  soil samples.   If the sampler  does  not
provide  sufficient  volume,  analysis  of  all  required   parameters   and   complete   QA/QC
determinations may not be possible.  If this occurs, SMO will contact the  RSCC to determine
appropriate adjustments in analysis.

3.  Contract Delivery Requirements

The  organic  RAS program  specifies  contractual requirements for sample extraction, volatile
analysis and data reporting.  These requirements include:

    o   Completion of sample extraction for water samples within five days of sample receipt
        and for soil samples within ten days of sample receipt;
    o   Completion of volatile analysis within  ten days of sample receipt;
    o   Completion of extractable analysis and reporting of data within thirty-five days of
        sample receipt.

Each organic RAS data package  includes the following components:

    o   Narrative report describing analytical problems encountered and internal QC processes
        applied.
    o   Copies of sample Traffic Reports.
    o   Quality control summary containing surrogate, method blank, matrix spike and matrix
        spike   duplicate   analyses  recoveries,  and   instrument  tuning  and  performance
        information.
    o   Sample data including  tabulated results of the organic target  compounds identified
        and quantified,  and the tentative identification and estimated concentration of up to
        thirty non-target  organic  compounds  in greatest apparent concentration  reported in
        ug/L or mg/kg.
    o   Raw sample analytical  data  including  sample chromatograms,  spectra,  quantitation
        reports and calculations.

    o   Standards data package  including chromatograms, spectra and data system printouts,
        and initial and continuing calibration reports.
    o   Raw QC data package documenting instrument tuning and analytical QC criteria.

Each organic RAS package submitted to SMO must  be accompanied by  a  diskette which
contains machine readable information.   This  information must be  sufficient to produce  all
data on the hard copy summary reporting  forms.   Explicit formats for diskette records are
specified in the analytical Statement  of Work.   The organic RAS delivery  requirements and
copies of organic data reporting sheets are contained in  Appendix C.

4. Analytical Protocols

The standardized organic analytical methods are  based  on  Federal Register (FR)  Methods 625
(B/N/A), 608 (pesticide) and 624 (VGA).  Analysis for organic target compounds includes  an
optional GC screen  (to determine  appropriate dilution fraction or aliquot  sizes for GC/MS
analysis), GC/MS analysis (B/N/A and VGA) and GC/EC analysis (pesticide/PCB).
                                            15

CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 2

a.   Water and Soil Methods

Water  samples  (VOA,  B/N/A and pesticide/PCB  fractions)  are  prepared and/or solvent
extracted.  Soil  samples (B/N/A  and pesticide/PCB fractions) are prepared by Bonification
prior to  solvent  extraction.   Extracts are  cleaned  up using  optional column chromatography
techniques when necessary.

Organic  target compounds are identified  and quantified  by GC/MS  for  VOA  and B/N/A
fractions and by GC/EC for the pesticide/PCB fraction. In addition, the twenty highest non-
TCL B/N/A peaks and the ten highest non-TCL VOA peaks  are  tentatively identified and
their concentrations estimated using a forward search of the NBS Mass Spectral Library.

b.   Contract Required Quantitation Limits

Low level analysis contract required quantitation limits (CRQLs) for water samples are based
on CRQLs for each organic  compound  using  FR  Methods 624, 625 and 608 and are at the
part-per-billion (ppb) level.  Approximate achievable sample quantitation levels for low water
and  low/medium   soil  samples  can  be   calculated  based  on  the  sample  size  and on
concentration/dilution factors.

CRQLs are  provided for analytical guidance  since  the levels  are  highly  matrix dependent.
Matrix  interferences  vary considerably depending on the  nature  and  homoijeneity of the
sample, on the interferent contaminants which coextract from the sample,  and on the sample
volume taken for analysis.

5.  Contract Quality Control  Requirements

QC procedures that must  be performed  and  documented under the  organic RAS program
include, but are not limited to, the following:

Instrument QC procedure:

    o    GC/MS instrument tunes for both volatile and  semivolatile compound analyses.
    o    Initial multilevel calibration for each target compound.
    o    Continuing calibration for each target  compound.

Sample QC procedure:

    o    Addition of surrogate compounds to each sample and blank for determining percent
         recovery information.

    o    Duplicate matrix spike analysis.
    o    Method blank analysis.
                                           16

-------
Description of Analytical Services                                          December 1988

Certain  QC  procedures demonstrate  that  the  instrument  is  operating  within  contract
specifications.  These procedures include:

    o    Demonstration that the two tuning compounds (DFTPP for extractables and BFB for
         volatiles) meet the defined ion abundance criteria.
    o    Determination of an average  response  factor  based  on  a  calibration  using  five
         concentrations  of  each  target  compound.   Specification  of a  subset  of  target
         compounds that must meet  a  defined  relative standard  deviation  and  minimum
         response factor.
    o    A continuing calibration at a single concentration  for  each target compound  where
         specified  compounds  are  flagged  as  controls  and   must  meet  defined percent
         difference  from the  initial response factor or  a  new  initial calibration  must be
         performed.

Other QC procedures are required to demonstrate the quality of the analytical data generated.
These procedures include:

    o    Addition of surrogate spikes to all samples and blanks to monitor sample preparation
         and analysis and to provide percent recovery information for  each sample so that the
         suitability of the method for each sample, regardless of  matrix, may be established.
    o    Analyses of duplicate matrix spiked samples to display the precision  of  the method
         for  the  particular matrix  and  also  to  provide percent recovery  information  for
         defined target compounds (specified matrix spikes) as for surrogates.
    o    Analysis  of reagent blanks for each Case or each set of twenty samples (whichever is
         less) and for each matrix within  a Case to ensure that laboratory contaminants are not
         reflected in data results.
                         B.  Inorganic Routine Analytical Services
1.  Analytes Identified and Quantified

The inorganic RAS program identifies and quantifies metals  and cyanide.  These  analytes are
listed on the inorganic data reporting forms in Appendix C.

2.  Volumes Required and Preservation Techniques

For low level inorganic water samples, a one liter volume is required for metals analysis and a
one liter volume is required  for cyanide analysis.  These samples should be collected  in  a 1-
liter polyethylene bottle.  For medium level inorganic water  samples, a sixteen ounce  volume
is  required  for  metals analysis  and a sixteen  ounce  volume  is required for cyanide analysis.
These samples should be collected in a 16-ounce glass jar.  For low/medium level soil samples,
a six ounce sample volume is required for both metals and cyanide analyses.   These samples
should be collected in an 8-ounce glass jar.
                                            17

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                               Chapter 2

Different preservation techniques apply to the metals and cyanide portions of low  level water
samples.   For "total"  metals analysis, the  sample is acidified  to pH < 2 with HNO^.  ("Total"
meaning  inclusion of particulate and dissolved fractions.)  For dissolved metals analysis, the
sample is filtered and then acidified to pH <  2  with HNO^  at the laboratory.  If  the  sample
contains  a significant  particulate  fraction, acidification without  filtration  could result  in
deceptively high metal values  for  the water  sample.   Varying amounts of particulate matter
can also  give large differences in  metal values for  duplicate acidified water samples.  The
following guidelines should be  utilized for the cyanide aliquot:

    o    Test a drop  of sample with potassium iodide-starch  test  paper (Kl-starch  paper).  A
         resulting  blue color indicates the presence  of oxidizing agents and  the need for
         treatment.    Add  ascorbic  acid,  a few crystals at a time,  until a drop  of  sample
         produces no  color on  the  indicator paper.  Then add an additional 0.6 g  of ascorbic
         acid for each liter of sample volume.
    o    Test  a drop  of  sample on lead acetate  paper  moistened with  acetic acid  buffer
         solution.  Darkening of the paper indicates the presence of 82".  If 82"  is present,
         add  powdered cadmium carbonate until  a drop of the treated solution does  not darken
         the lead acetate test paper. Filter the solution  before raising the pH for stabilization.
    o    Preserve samples with 2 mL of 10 N  sodium hydroxide per liter of sample  (pH > 12).
    o    Store the samples  at 4°C until the time of analysis.

No chemical  preservation is required for medium level  water  samples  or for low/medium level
soil samples unless otherwise directed.

For homogenization of water samples, the contract laboratory shakes the sample in  its original
sample container and transfers 100  mL aliquots to a 250 mL beaker. For water samples with a
high solids content, the user can  specify that  the sample not be  mixed and the  analysis  be
performed on the  supernatant.  For homogenization of soil samples, the laboratory thoroughly
mixes  the contents of the sample  container.   For soil  samples  with significant  amounts  of
water, the user has the option to specify that the  supernatant be decanted and  the remaining
sample be mixed thoroughly and analyzed.

If it is not certain whether a  sample should  be categorized as low or medium  concentration,
volume  should  be collected  and   the sample preserved as specified for low  level samples.
Packaging and  shipment  procedures should  be followed  as designated for  medium  level
samples.   For water samples, one field blank should be supplied for each Case. Soil blanks are
currently not available, and the user should  not submit soil  field blanks for  analysis.   If the
user submits  a rinsate blank with a Case of soil samples,  the blank will be treated as a separate
aqueous  matrix sample with full QC, and accordingly,  a sufficient volume for analysis should
be provided  to  the   laboratory.   When a suitable soil blank  material  becomes available,
EMSL/LV will supply one soil blank for  each Case.   No additional volume is required for
duplicate analyses of water or soil samples; however, the user may specify that the duplicate
and matrix spike be performed on a particular  sample.   If the sampler does  not provide
sufficient  volume,  analysis of all  required parameters and  complete QA/QC determinations
may not be  possible.  If  this occurs, SMO will contact the  RSCC to determine  appropriate
adjustments in analysis.

3.  Contract Delivery Requirements

The inorganic RAS program specifies the completion of metals and cyanide  analysis and the
submission of the final  data package within thirty-five days following  sample receipt at the
laboratory.  Each inorganic RAS data package includes the following components:

    o    Cover  page  listing the samples  included  in the  report  and  narrative  comments
         describing problems encountered in analysis.
    o    Tabulated results, reported  in  ug/L or mg/kg, of inorganic  analytes identified  and
         quantified.   These results  include a  brief  description of the  sample.    Individual
         analytical  results  are flagged by the laboratory when QC indicates potential bias  due
         to matrix effects, homogeneity, etc.
    o    QC results   for  preparation  blanks,  calibration  blanks,  calibration  verification
         standards,  matrix  spikes,  matrix  spike  duplicates,  laboratory control  samples,
         interference check samples, analytical spikes and serial dilution analyses.
    o    Tabulation of instrument detection limits determined in pure water solutions.
    o    Digestion/distillation logs,  sample  Traffic Reports,  and raw  data  system  printouts
         identifying calibration  standards, calibration  blanks, preparation blanks, samples  and
         any atypical dilution,  duplicates,  spikes,  interference  checks and  any  instrument
         adjustments  or apparent anomalies on the measurement record.

Each inorganic  RAS package submitted to  SMO must be accompanied by a diskette which
contains  machine  readable information.  This information must be sufficient to produce all
data on  the hard  copy summary reporting  forms.  Explicit  formats for diskette records  are
specified in the  analytical  Statement of  Work.   A  summary  of inorganic RAS delivery
requirements and copies  of data reporting forms are contained in Appendix C.

4.  Analytical Protocols

The standardized  inorganic analytical methods  are based on FR Methods, EPA  Methods  for
Chemical Analysis of Water and  Wastes, and Test Methods for Evaluating Solid  Waste (SW-
846).  Analysis  for specified metals  and cyanide is  performed  by flame, furnace  and  cold
vapor atomic absorption  (AA), colorimetric, distillation, and inductively coupled argon plasma
(ICP) methods.

a.  Water and Soil Methods

Samples for metals analysis are prepared and acid digested.  The digestate is filtered  to remove
insoluble  materials prior  to analysis.   Sample  are  analyzed by  AA or  ICP methods,   and
dilutions are performed where any analyte concentration exceeds the calibrated range.

A quantitative determination for cyanide  is made  by midi-distillation and colorimetric or
titrimetric analysis.  Mercury is  quantitated in water samples by the cold vapor technique.
                                            19

CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 2

b.  Contract Required Quantitation Limits

Inorganic  RAS contracts contain minimum CRQLs  that must be met by all laboratories for
each of the  metals and cyanide in pure water.  On a quarterly basis, the contract laboratories
are required to verify that their instrument detection limits (IDLs) meet the CRQLs.

CRQLs for low level water samples can be achieved in the ppb to low part-per-million (ppm)
range;  CRQLs  for medium level water and low/medium  level soil samples can be achieved in
the low- to  mid-ppm range.  Matrix interferences and other  sample parameters that vary with
sample nature and homogeneity, with interferent  contaminants that coextract from the sample,
and with  the  analytical method can affect quantitation  levels.  Since achievable quantitation
levels are  dependent on the inorganic species and matrix of  each sample, the laboratory  must
estimate levels based  on extrapolations from the  pure water IDLs.  The laboratory brackets
results  below the  CRQL to indicate a value near  the IDL.  Although data is  reported down to
the pure water IDL, results below the CRQL should be used with caution.

5. Contract Quality Control Requirements

Inorganics  RAS  contracts  define  extensive QA procedures  that  must  be performed and
documented.  These include, but are not limited to, the following:

    o   Initial calibration verification,
    o   Continuing calibration verification,
    o   ICP interference check sample analysis,
    o   ICP serial dilution analysis,
    o   Preparation blank analysis,
    o   Spiked sample analysis,
    o   Duplicate sample analysis,
    o   Furnace  AA QC analysis, and
    o   Laboratory control sample analysis.

The  instrument QC  operations  include initial  and  continuing calibration checks which are
performed daily and/or every ten samples.  These checks determine that the analytical system
is meeting contract required criteria.

Analytical QC operations include:

    o   ICP Interference Check Sample  Analysis:  Performed at  least  twice per eight  hour
        shift  to verify interelement and background correction factors.
    o   ICP  Serial  Dilution  Analysis:   Performed for  samples of a similar matrix and
        concentration  for  each Case  of samples,  or   for  each  twenty  samples  received
        (whichever is more  frequent), to ascertain whether  significant chemical or physical
        interferences exist due to sample  matrix.
                                            20

Description of Analytical Services                                          December 1988

    o   Preparation Blank Analysis:  Performed for each batch of samples or for each set of
        twenty samples to ascertain whether sample concentrations reflect contamination.
    o   Spiked Sample  Analysis  and  Duplicate Sample  Analysis:    Performed  for  each
        concentration and matrix within a Case of samples, or for each set of twenty samples
        of  a  similar matrix  within  a Case,  to  provide  information concerning  sample
        homogeneity, analytical  precision  and accuracy, and  the effect of the sample matrix
        on  the analytical  methodology, and  to enable  the Agency to evaluate the longterm
        precision of the method.
    o   Furnace  AA  QC  Analysis:   Required  for  quantitation;   incorporates  duplicate
        injections and analytical spikes in order to evaluate the precision and accuracy of the
        individual analytical determinations on each sample.
    o   Laboratory Control Sample  Analysis:  Standards carried through sample preparation
        and analysis procedures  to document the performance of the entire analytical process.
        On a  quarterly  basis laboratories  verify their instrument detection  limits, ICP linear
        ranges, ICP interelement correction factors and  ICP integration times.


                           C.  Dioxin Routine Analytical Services


1.  Isomer Identified and  Quantified

The dioxin  RAS contract  method  identifies  and quantifies the  2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-
dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) isomer.  No concentration levels  are designated in the dioxin program.
All samples  suspected to  contain  dioxin  are considered  hazardous and should  be handled
accordingly.

2.  Volumes Required

The sample volume required for dioxin analysis is four ounces of soil/sediment or two liters of
water.  Each soil  sample should  be collected in either one 4-ounce glass jar or  one 8-ounce
glass  jar.   Each  water sample should  be  collected in two 1-liter amber glass bottles.  The
collection of  more  than  the  required  sample  volume is  strongly  discouraged  due to the
hazardous nature and difficulty in disposing of dioxin-contaminated waste.

One or more  field  blanks should  be  included with each sample batch (no  more  than  24
samples).    A  rinsate sample,  consisting of  trichloroethylene used   in  rinsing  sampling
equipment,  may  be  included  in a  batch.   One sample  with  duplicate volume should  be
collected for duplicate analyses.  QA samples, provided by EMSL/LV, should  be included as
part of the sample batch.

3.  Contract Delivery Requirements

The dioxin  RAS  program specifies  the completion  of  sample extraction, analysis and data
reporting  within  twenty-one  days  of sample  receipt at  the  laboratory.   The  delivery
                                            21

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 2

requirements include automatic reextraction and reanalysis of samples when certain  criteria are
not met in  the  initial analysis.   Each  dioxin  RAS  data  package  includes  the following
components:

    o   Completed data reporting sheets with appropriate selected ion current profiles (SICPs)
        and spectra attached indicating  instrumental (GC/MS)  operating parameters  during
        data acquisition and including all rejected sample runs.
    o   Results of analyses of multilevel concentration calibration solutions including SICPs,
        calculated response factors and computer-generated quantitation reports.
    o   SICPs   generated  during  each  performance  check  solution  analysis  and  each
        concentration  calibration solution analysis.
    o   Chronological list of all analyses performed.

A summary  of dioxin RAS delivery requirements and copies of  data  reporting forms are
contained in Appendix C.

4.  Analytical Protocols

a.  Soil and Water Methods

EPA-developed methods for  the analysis of 2,3,7,8-TCDD are performed on a batch basis.  A
sample  batch consists of up to twenty-four field samples and normally includes an equipment
rinse solvent (trichloroethylene or hexane) sample, one or more field blanks, and a QA sample.

Prior to analysis, soil samples are prepared, homogenized and centrifuged  when necessary.  All
samples are then solvent extracted  according to  matrix.  The concentrated extract  is analyzed
by  GC/MS using fused silica  capillary  column techniques.  The 2,3,7,8-TCDD isomer is
identified and quantified using selected ion monitoring (SIM) GC/MS instrumentation and data
systems with the capability to acquire, store and  retrieve SIM data for six  ions.

b.  Contract Required Ouantitation Limits

The RAS contract method  provides procedures for  the detection and measurement of 2,3,7,8-
TCDD in  soil and water samples at concentrations as low as one ppb.  Column chromatography
and other clean up procedures are used to eliminate coextracted sample  components, such as
PCBs,  which may  interfere  with the  detection  of very  low levels  of  TCDD.    Matrix
interferences may also occur  depending on  the  nature and  homogeneity of the sample, and
may prevent the achievement of the lowest CRQLs.

5.  Contract Quality Control  Requirements

Dioxin  RAS contracts  define  extensive  QC   procedures  that  must  be  performed  and
documented. These  include, but are not limited  to, the following:

    o   Initial and continuing calibration and instrument performance checks.
    o   Reagent blank analysis.
                                            22

-------
Description of Analytical Services                                           December 1988

    o    Field blank analysis.
    o    Fortified matrix spike analysis (2,3,7,8-TCDD spiked field blank).
    o    Rinsate (equipment solvent) sample analysis.
    o    Duplicate sample analysis.
    o    Reanalysis including reextraction (and/or additional clean up of the sample extract)
         when QC criteria are not met in the initial analysis.

The instrument  QC  operations include  initial  and continuing  calibration  and  instrument
performance  checks.  Continued calibration is performed at the beginning of each twelve hour
shift.  Performance checks  are performed at  least twice during  each  twelve  hour  shift to
demonstrate   continued   acceptable    GC/MS   resolution,   sensitivity,   response   factor
reproducibility, and mass range calibration, and to validate sample data.

Analytical QC operations include:

    o    Reagent blank analysis to demonstrate  that identified compound concentrations do not
         reflect laboratory contamination.
    o    Field blank  analysis to provide information on false-positive results,  on the matrix
         effect of  the  sample  on the  analytical  methodology, and  on the accuracy of the
         method.

    o    Rinsate  sample  analysis to  ensure  that  samples  have  not been  contaminated  by
         sampling equipment.
    o    Duplicate sample analysis to determine precision of the method.
                               D. Special Analytical Services

In addition to  the standardized analyses available  under the  RAS program, the CLP provides
Regional  clients with  limited  specialized analyses  under  the SAS program.    While these
analytical services are beyond the scope of RAS contract protocols, they are consistent with
CLP objectives.  Services provided through the SAS program include fast turnaround analyses,
verification analyses, analyses requiring lower detection limits  than RAS methods provide,
identification  and quantification of nonpriority pollutant and  non-TCL  constituents, general
waste characterizations, analysis of nonstandard matrices and other specific analyses.

As  part of  the  SMO contract with EPA,  Viar and Company solicits, awards and administers
SAS subcontracts.  By  utilizing  subcontracts,  the  CLP can procure  specialized services in a
timely manner  on an as-needed basis.   Due to the  often unusual nature of SAS requests, users
must plan their  projects in advance to  allow SMO sufficient time to procure these services.

For each  SAS  request,  the client  provides SMO with  the necessary analytical methods and
QA/QC requirements. SMO procures  SAS by subcontracting with RAS laboratories with IFB
contracts  in the appropriate  analytical program.   When RAS laboratories  cannot  meet  the
analytical  requirement of the SAS, requests  are  solicited to  other  laboratories  which have
demonstrated  the  ability  to  meet   program performance  requirements.    RAS  contract
                                            23

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                               Chapter 2

laboratories  are evaluated  for current RAS performance before they are considered for SAS
solicitations,  and are not solicited for SAS work if deficient in this area.  Other laboratories
qualify  to perform  certain types  of SAS  work  by  successfully  completing  performance
evaluation sample analyses  or by justification of unique analytical capability.

Once the  available laboratory  community is  determined, SMO contacts a minimum  of five
laboratories  (contingent upon availability of a particular analytical service) and describes the
requirements via  telephone.   Laboratories  are  asked  to  bid firm, fixed  prlce(s) for  the
performance  of specific types  of  analyses on a defined  number of  samples.  SMO evaluates
laboratory bids  in terms of bid price and responsiveness to the specified task.   The SAS is
awarded to the lowest bidding laboratory which responds to the client's analytical requirement.
A  written, individual SAS subcontract agreement  is  then  made between  the laboratory and
Viar and Company.

A  laboratory's  ability to bid for SAS  work and the prices  being bid may  vary  depending on
the size or  scope  of  the  analytical  request, data  turnaround requirements  and  analytical
parameters of  a  particular task,  weekly RAS  sample  loading,  and  laboratory  operating
conditions at the time of solicitation.  Due to the fluctuation of these factors  on a weekly and
often daily basis, the CLP  may not be able to accommodate all SAS requests.  SAS services are
provided on  a first-come  basis;  however, Agency requirements can necessitate  that certain
work be given priority.   In  this  event,  SMO notifies  the involved RSCCs who  determine
Regional sampling priorities.

SAS requests are separated into two basic categories, "RAS Plus SAS" and "All SAS".  These
categories are utilized in defining client requests  and pursuant SAS solicitation and contract
award.  Analytical services available through the SAS program are described below.

1.   RAS Plus SAS

a.   Fast Turnaround

Fast  turnaround requests  require  the  application of  existing RAS analytical  parameters,
methodologies  and detection  limits  with  a shorter timeframe for  performance of  analysis
and/or  delivery of data.   Procurement for fast  turnaround SAS is  dependent upon program
sample  load,  laboratory capacities  and laboratory operating  conditions  at  the time of the
request.  Because  of constant  fluctuations of these factors, it is not possible  to obtain fast
turnaround service on  an  unlimited basis.   Fast  turnaround  contracts are  solicited  only  in
situations of  demonstrated  need and are used primarily to support EPA emergency actions and
to  meet impending litigation deadlines.

The following illustrates common  "RAS Plus SAS"  fast turnaround  requests.  The  SAS portion
is  underlined:

    o   RAS volatile organic target compound analysis with VOA  analysis and data delivery
        in seven days.

    o   RAS inorganic target compound analysis with data  turnaround in fourteen davs.
    o   RAS dioxin target compound  analysis with data turnaround in ten davs.
                                            24

b.  Special Requirements in Addition to RAS

A client  may  need  to access the standardized  RAS programs and  add  to the  contract
requirements.  The following  examples  illustrate common "RAS Plus SAS" requests.  The SAS
portion is underlined:

(1)   Organic

      o   Volatile target  compound analysis  at  lower  detection limits than  required  bv the
          IFB.
      o   Full organics analysis with additional non-target pesticide/herbicide compounds.
      o   Pesticide target compound analysis  with minor alterations or additional procedures
          applied.
      o   B/N/A target compound extraction  with analysis bv a non-RAS method.

(2)   Inorganic

      o   Metals and cyanide analyses  plus non-RAS parameters  -  nitrate, sulfate. ammonia.
          sulfide. total organic carbon and chloride.
      o   Metals  and  cyanide   analyses  with  special  rigorous  sample  homoeenization
          requirements.
      o   Metals analysis at lower detection limits than required bv the RAS requirements.

      o   RAS  metals  and cyanide analysis  with minor  alterations  or  additional analytical
          procedures applied.

(3)   Dioxin

      o   2,3,7,8-TCDD analysis  of soil/sediment samples with a detection  limit lower than
          the one PPD required bv the RAS contracts.
      o   2,3,7,8-TCDD analysis  by the RAS protocol plus  analysis of other dioxin or furan
2.  All SAS

CLP clients frequently request types of analyses that are not  directly applicable to the RAS
program.  These  requests occur most often with samples of difficult or unusual matrices and
measurements  of analytical  parameters  not  provided   through  the  RAS program.    Five
categories of "All SAS" requests are described in the following sections.

e.   Special Topics Analysis
The SAS  program can usually accommodate unusual analytical requests on an "All SAS" basis
when sufficient  lead-time is allowed  and complete methodology and  QA/QC specifications
accompany the request. These types of analyses include, but are not  limited to, the following:
    o   Biological samples (e.g., fish, turtle  tissue)  for specific organic, inorganic  or dioxin
        analyses.
    o   Air samples (e.g., tenax, charcoal and  flurosil tubes) for specific organic analyses.

    o   Acid deposition parameters.
    o   NonSuperfund analytical services of any type.

3.  Contract Delivery and Quality Control Requirements

SAS contracts require delivery  schedules for sample  extraction, analysis  and data reporting,
and require laboratory QC  procedures and reporting of QC parameters as defined by the client
requestor.  Delivery and QC requirements as detailed  in RAS  program contracts may be used
as a guide but must  be specified by the client at  the time of request.  The requestor should
specify all deliverables required to ensure that the appropriate data  packages are received.
Clients are encouraged to  maintain a high level of QC in all analysis  request,  unless there is
substantial reason for deleting certain QC requirements.


                   E.  Analytical Methodology Improvement/Development


1.  Protocol Standardization and Improvement

CLP participants are  constantly  refining and improving analytical protocols to maintain state-
of-the-art status and to  reflect newly defined or changed  requirements of  the  Superfund
effort.  In  order to accomplish this  effort,  all program  participants submit comments or
suggestions to the NPO on  an ongoing basis.  The NPO then reviews all submitted information
and considers recommendations for  program application on a periodic basis.

Since  1982, the NPO has  utilized  technical  meetings  as  a  means  to consistently employ the
scope of available resources in updating analytical program methodologies and  data reporting
requirements.  Technical meetings are initiated by  the NPO on a periodic  basis  and consist of
workgroups,  caucuses and an annual conference.   Participants of these sessions include the
Regions, the  NPO,  EMSL/LV, EMSL/Cincinnati, NEIC, SMO, contract laboratories, program
support contractors, and other EPA programs and government agencies, as appropriate.  These
meetings are instrumental in improving  CLP protocols and orienting deliverables to user needs.

EPA personnel review the  discussions of the technical meetings and compile recommendations
for protocol changes.  Following NPO  approval of  recommended changes, existing  laboratory
contracts  are  modified by the  Contracting  Officer to  include  the recommended revisions.
Whenever  possible,   all laboratory  contracts   within  an  analytical   program  are changed
concurrently  to  maintain consistency within the program.  NPO-approved protocol revisions
are included in any new IFB solicitations.
                                            27

2.  Method Development

Development of  new analytical  methods may be initiated by a newly identified or redefined
Agency analysis  requirement.    Analytical methods utilized  in  the  CLP  are  based  on
methodologies developed and approved by EPA. The NPO, EMSL/LV, EMSL/Cincinnati,  the
Regions and  the contractor community  have  historically contributed to the development of
new program analytical methodologies.   Methods  are reviewed by several sources and  are
tested prior to implementation to the extent possible to meet program requirements.

UTILIZATION OF ANALYTICAL SERVICES

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 3

The  CLP provides  clients  with  prompt access to  laboratory services through  a documented
system of sample  scheduling.   The CLP  scheduling  process is based on  two  fundamental
requirements:   1) maintenance of ongoing communication among the RSCC,  field sampler,
SMO and  laboratory  personnel, and  2)  correct use  of sample  scheduling  and tracking
documents by the RSCC, field sampler and  laboratory personnel.

SMO coordinates the scheduling of sample analyses through the CLP and tracks the progress
of samples from collection  through final data production.  To effectively match the analytical
needs of program clients with the capabilities of contract laboratories,  SMO documents current
utilization, availability  of resources and laboratory performance limitations for each program.

SMO is authorized  to accept analytical requests only through the RSCC, which is established
by the EPA Regional Administrator  and is centered  in each Region's Environmental Services
Division  or  Waste Management  Division.   The RSCC, consisting of one or more identified
individuals  (primary  and  secondary), routinely  places analytical  requests  with  SMO  and
coordinates those requests throughout sample shipment  and analysis.  In addition, the RSCC is
responsible  for  ensuring Regional  compliance with the  CLP's projection/allocation system.
The  primary RSCC determines  analytical priorities  for  the Region when conflicts  occur.
Individuals interested in obtaining CLP analytical  support should contact  their Regional EPA
office's RSCC (see Appendix B).
                             A.  Analysis Request Procedures


1.  RAS Initiation Process

a.  User Information Required

To initiate a RAS request, the RSCC contacts the appropriate SMO Coordinator by telephone
and provides  a complete  description of the analytical requirement.   (SMO personnel are
identified in Appendix B.) SMO requires the following information to initiate a RAS request:

    o   Name of the individual RSCC.
    o   Name(s), association and telephone number(s) of sampling personnel.
    o   Name, city and state of the site  to be sampled.
    o   Superfund site/spill ID (2 digit alpha-numeric code).
    o   Number and matrix of samples to be collected.

    o   Type of analyses required.
        Organic:   Full  (VGA,  B/N/A  and pesticide/PCB), VGA and/or B/N/A  and/or
        pesticide/PCB, or VGA only  fractional analyses.
        Inorganic:  metals and/or  cyanide.
        Dioxin:  2,3,7,8-TCDD.
    o   Scheduled sample collection and shipment dates.

    o   Suspected contaminants associated with the sample and/or site.
    o   Other pertinent information which  may  affect sample scheduling or shipment (i.e.,
        anticipated  delays due to site access, weather conditions, sampling  equipment).
    o   Name(s) of  Regional or contractor contacts for immediate problem resolution.

The RSCC  is responsible  for estimating  the number and  types  of  samples  and the sample
shipment  dates for  the analytical  request.  Overestimation of the number of samples to be
collected  or  miscalculation  of shipment dates  unnecessarily  ties  up available  laboratory
capacity,  and  thus  renders  the  program less than  maximally  responsive  to  all  clients.
Underestimation of the number and types of samples to be collected may result in unavailable
services for any additional analyses needed.

b.  Lead-time Requirement

At  least one  week  prior to  the scheduled start of a  planned  sampling activity,  the  RSCC
telephones SMO  to  place a  specific  request  for  RAS services.  The RSCC is required to
provide scheduling  information to  SMO  by noon on  the  Wednesday  of  the week  prior to
sample shipment.  This lead-time facilitates laboratory scheduling and resolution of questions
concerning sampling  and analysis procedures, and allows the sampler adequate time  to prepare
the required sample  documentation.  Advance scheduling is available and should be utilized
whenever  possible.
                                           31

CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 3

c.   Case Number Assignment and Laboratory Scheduling

At the time of request, SMO assigns a sequential Case number to each RAS sampling activity
for identification throughout sample tracking and data production.  A Case  number designates
a single group of samples collected at one site or geographical location during a predetermined
and finite time  period.  The RSCC records  the Case number and  uses it in referencing that
request throughout sampling and analysis.

SMO  then  schedules  the   requested  analyses  through  an  appropriate   RAS  laboratory.
Laboratory selection  is determined  by the  types of analyses,  number  of samples, contract
capacity,  sample  balance   among  the  various  laboratories,  and laboratory  loading  and
instrument conditions.  Organic laboratory selection is also based on the Regional Distribution
of Laboratories  System developed  by  the  NPO and  designed to minimize the  number  of
laboratories  producing  data for any one  Region.   When  possible,  the  nearest  available
laboratory is assigned in order to minimize sample shipping costs.

Once  RAS laboratory assignments  are  made, SMO  contacts the RSCC  to  confirm  the field
investigation  plans,  identify the  laboratories  to be used for the  Case, and answer any further
questions  regarding  program procedures or  documentation.   At that  point, the RSCC must
indicate all  known  or anticipated sample scheduling changes.   Any other  changes occurring
after this  time should be communicated to SMO immediately upon  identification  to ensure the
timely resolution of  conflicts and  the optimal allocation of program  resources.   After  the
initial placement of the RAS request, the  RSCC may choose to assign a logistical  contact, such
as the team  leader  in  the  sampling  effort, to coordinate  with SMO in finalizing  sampling
requirements, and initiating and  arranging sample shipment.

d.  User  Knowledge of Analytical  Protocol

Each RSCC is responsible for acquiring and maintaining a working knowledge of current RAS
protocols  and analytical services.  SMO provides each  Regional DPO  (listed in  Appendix  B)
with Master Copy  notebooks of each RAS  program IFB  Statement  of Work  (SOW).   The
Master Copy notebooks are periodically updated to reflect program  protocol  changes.

The SOW represents  the standardized requirements  which each individual  RAS laboratory  is
contractually bound to follow.  The  analytical SOWs contain specific information on sample
types suited to  RAS  analysis,  compounds  identified and  quantified,  analytical  methods,
protocols,  detection  limits,  deliverable   requirements,  and  quality  control   requirements.
Program users should consult the appropriate SOW to confirm that the RAS program is suited
to an analytical request.

2.  SAS Initiation  Process

a.  User  Information Required

Analytical requirements differing  from  RAS  parameters are  processed  through  the  SAS
program as described in Chapter II, Section D.  To initiate a SAS  request,  the RSCC contacts
                                            32

-------
Utilization of Analytical Services                                          December 1988

the appropriate  SMO Coordinator by  telephone and provides  a complete description of the
analytical requirement.  SMO requires the following information to initiate a SAS request:

    o    Name of RSCC.
    o    Name(s), association and telephone number(s) of sampling personnel.
    o    Name, city and state of the site  to be sampled.
    o    Superfund site/spill ID (2 digit alpha-numeric code).
    o    Number and matrix of samples to be collected.
    o    Specific analyses required, appropriate protocols and QA/QC.
    o    Required detection limits.
    o    Matrix  spike, matrix spike duplicate, duplicate or LCS  frequency, if applicable.
    o    Data turnaround and data format.
    o    Justification  for fast turnaround request, if appropriate.
    o    Scheduled sample collection and shipment  dates.
    o    Nature  of sampling event.

CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 3

    o   Other pertinent  information which may affect sample scheduling or shipment (i.e.,
        anticipated delays due to site access, weather condition, sampling equipment).
    o   Name(s) of Regional or contractor contacts for immediate problem resolution.

In follow  up to  the verbal request, the RSCC must  submit a completed SAS Client Request
form  to SMO.   This  form serves as the written record to clarify and confirm the client's
requirement for specialized analytical  work.  A copy of the SAS Client  Request form is
included in Appendix  D.

The  RSCC is  responsible for estimating the number  and  types  of samples  and the sample
shipment dates for the SAS request.  Overestimation of the  number  of samples to be collected
or miscalculation of shipment dates unnecessarily ties up  available laboratory capacity, and
thus  renders the  program less than maximally responsive to all clients.  Underestimation of the
number and  types  of samples to be  collected  may  result in unavailable  services for any
additional analyses needed.  Depending on the size and extent of the miscalculation, the entire
request may have to be resolicited and sampling plans postponed accordingly.

b.  Lead-time Requirements

When a sampling activity has been planned, the RSCC telephones SMO and places the specific
request  for SAS services.  Because SAS  services are  individually procured on a competitive
basis, a minimum lead-time  of  two weeks is  required to  process a completely defined SAS
request.  More lead-time is strongly recommended  whenever  possible.   SAS solicitation will
not be  started  until  the SAS  requirements  have been completely defined  by the RSCC.
Modifications to any SAS request will  cause the  entire process to begin again.  Fully defined
requests initiated with less than two weeks lead-time may not be solicited and  awarded in time
to meet the original shipment date.

Certain types of SAS  requests require  a  longer  lead-time.   A minimum lead-time  of two to
three weeks is required for SAS requests which  involve distribution of  protocols (see  item d,
below).  A minimum lead-time of four  or  more weeks is  recommended  for large  scale,
analytically  complex   or nonSuperfund  SAS  requests.    Award of nonSuperfund  SAS
subcontracts may only  be made after the  appropriate funding process is  complete.  The RSCC
should contact SMO several weeks in  advance if there is a question regarding the lead-time
needed to schedule a particular SAS request.

c.  SAS Number Assignment and Laboratory Scheduling

At the time of  request, SMO assigns a sequential SAS number to each  SAS sampling activity
for identification throughout sample tracking and data production.  If SAS services are being
provided in association with  RAS services, SMO also assigns a Case number.  Like the Case
identification, the SAS number designates  a single group of samples collected at one  site or
geographical location  during  a predetermined and finite  time  period.  The RSCC records the
SAS number and Case number (if applicable) and uses both  numbers in referencing the request
throughout sampling and analysis.
                                           34

-------
Utilization of Analytical Services                                           December 1988

SAS laboratory  selection is based  on a  verbal  and  written  solicitation  process  for each
individual  request.   This solicitation results in  a  written SAS award to  the  lowest qualified
bidder.    Once  SAS laboratory assignments are  made,  SMO notifies the RSCC  of  the
laboratories that will be performing the analyses.

The nature of  the  SAS laboratory solicitation process  requires the RSCC  to be as exact as
possible with all elements of a  request at  the time of request.  SMO understands that actual
site conditions can  vary considerably from expected conditions and  necessitate changes in  the
sampling plan.   However, the RSCC is responsible  for notifying SMO  immediately of  any
changes to allow sufficient time to amend the SAS contract(s) to meet the changed  needs.  If
an original request  is changed significantly, the  original SAS contract will be voided,  and  the
entire analysis  effort will be resolicited.  SAS  resolicitation  requires additional  time before
sample shipment can take place.

d.  User Provided  Analytical Protocol

At  the time of request,  the RSCC must provide the analytical methodology and quality control
requirements  to  be utilized  for  the  SAS request before SMO can initiate a solicitation.   For
SAS requests that  are based on the use of amended RAS protocols, the RSCC  must specify
modifications or additions to these protocols. If such changes are extensive, the RSCC must
submit changes  under the SAS to  SMO in written  form two  to  three weeks in advance of
scheduled  sample shipment.   For SAS requests which require  use  of a method that is  not
commonly  available,  the RSCC must  submit the  method two  to  three weeks in advance of
sample shipment.   Additional lead-time is required  for protocol  distribution and review by
solicited laboratories.

SAS requests which cite the application of well known analytical  publications do not require
additional  lead-time for  distribution since laboratories  have  immediate   access  to   this
information.  Examples  of frequently utilized method  manuals are as  follows:

    o   Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Waste. USEPA, 1983.
    o   Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste.  Physical/Chemical Methods, SW-846,
        USEPA Office  of Water and Waste Management, 1983.
    o   Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Water. APHA, AWWA,
        WPCF,  Current Edition.

Further analytical  references are supplied in Appendix F.   The  RSCC  should contact SMO
several weeks in advance if there is a question as  to whether a particular method will require
additional lead-time for distribution.

3.  Procedures  for Making Changes to Analytical  Requests

The RSCC or  designated  logistical contact must immediately notify the  appropriate  SMO
Coordinator of all changes in  sampling plans before and during the sampling event  and after
shipment of samples to  the  laboratory.  Changes in plans  include changes in  sample matrices,
numbers  of samples, analyses  requested, detection limits, shipping  dates,  postponements or
                                            35

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 3

cancellations.   Failure  to  notify SMO of such  changes can result  in  delay in sampling  to
accommodate scheduling changes, delay in start of analysis due to conflicts, unsuitability of a
particular sample to an analytical program, or analysis data inappropriate for client purposes.
                     B.  Regional Organic/Inorganic Allocation System

The  NPO  has established an  allocation  system to  equitably apportion  available  laboratory
capacity  to the  Regions during  periods of  heavy sampling  activity.  Currently, capacity is
available for the projected sample demand; however, when the allocation system is  in effect,
all organic and inorganic RAS and "RAS Plus SAS"  Cases will  be  scheduled accordingly.

During  the last month of each  fiscal  year  quarter, the NPO provides  the RSCC with  the
Region's  monthly  allocation  of  organic  and  inorganic  sample analyses for the  following
quarter.  The  RSCC is responsible for planning monthly sampling activities in accordance with
the NPO allocation.

Under the scheduling/allocation  system, the RSCC  requests  sample analyses  for all planned
Regional sampling  activities for a given  week on the Wednesday preceding that week and
assigns  a priority,  if requested  by SMO, to each  request.    Upon receiving  the Region's
analytical requests,  SMO  makes  laboratory assignments for the  week and schedules received
requests  up to each Region's  allocation limit.  Requests in excess of the monthly  allocations
will  not  be processed by  SMO until all Regional  requests which fall within allocations have
been  placed at  a laboratory.   At this  time, any excess laboratory capacity for the week is
determined, and the NPO prioritizes Regional sampling  requests that exceed allocations.  SMO,
utilizing  available  laboratory  capacity,  then  makes  laboratory  assignments  for  sampling
activities  as prioritized by  the  NPO.   For  additional  information concerning the  allocation
system,  user's  should  contact SMO's Group Leader for Analytical Services (see Appendix B).


                                C. Sample Documentation

Each  sample processed by the  CLP must be properly  documented to ensure timely, correct and
complete analysis for all  parameters requested, and  most  importantly, to support the use of
sample data in potential enforcement  actions.  The  CLP documentation  system  provides  the
means to individually identify,  track and  monitor each sample  from the point of  collection
through final  data reporting.  As  used herein, a sample  is defined as a representative specimen
collected at a specific  location  of a waste site  at a particular  point in  time for  a specific
analysis.   A sample may reference field samples, duplicates, replicates, splits, spikes  or blanks
that  are  shipped from  the field  to a laboratory.   Whenever  questions arise, samplers should
contact SMO for direction and clarification concerning  the proper completion and distribution
of CLP  paperwork.

1.  Sample Traffic Report

RAS  organic  and inorganic samples are documented with corresponding  CLP sample Traffic
Reports  (TRs), a four  part carbonless form.  Each TR may  document  up to twenty samples
                                            36

-------
Utilization of Analytical Services                                          December 1988

shipped to one CLP laboratory under  one Case Number  and one RAS analytical program.
Samplers must complete the appropriate TRs for every shipment  of RAS samples to a CLP
laboratory.  Copies of the two types of TRs, as well as  examples  of properly completed TR
forms, are included in Appendix D.

TR forms must also be used when an individual sample  is to be analyzed for both RAS and
SAS parameters.  A SAS Packing List is not required and  should not be  used in addition to the
TR. Both the Case number and the SAS number must be entered at the top right of the form
in order to clearly identify and track the sampling  event.  Samplers must take caution not to
include the  Case number on "All SAS" samples taken at the same site.  Additionally, the
sampler must briefly describe the  SAS requirement  on each TR (e.g., "VOA - 1 ppb detection
limit").

Samplers record every sample on the TR form by completing the columns for sample number,
sample  description,  concentration,  RAS  analytical  fraction,  special   handling and station
location.  In addition, samplers complete the boxes for type of activity, site name, Regional
information, analysis laboratory, sampling date and shipping information.

After  completing the  TR,  the  sampler includes  the bottom  two  copies  with the sample
shipment to the  laboratory, returns  the top copy to SMO, and retains the remaining copy for
their  file.  Upon receipt of the sample shipment,  the laboratory documents sample condition
and signs the TR.  The laboratory returns a copy of the signed TR to SMO  and retains a copy
for their file.   Copies  of the  signed  TRs  are provided  to the  RSCC as  part of  the data
package.

SMO  provides TR forms to each  Region through the RSCC.   The  RSCC should contact SMO
two or more weeks in advance to order  additional TR forms.

2.  Dioxin Shipment Record

The CLP Dioxin Shipment  Record (DSR),  a four part carbonless form, is used as sample
documentation for the RAS dioxin  program. These forms must also  be used  for any "RAS
plus SAS" dioxin samples.  The  DSR  provides a  record for one shipment  batch of dioxin
samples (up  to twenty-four samples). A copy of the DSR, as  well as an example of a properly
completed DSR form, is included in Appendix D.

To provide a permanent record of each sample collected, the sampler records the appropriate
Case number and batch/shipment  number on the DSR form.  The  sampler then enters header
information  including  type  of  activity,  Regional information,  shipping  information  and
analysis laboratory.   The  sampler records sample  matrix and description (e.g., soil/sediment
field sample, solvent rinsate) for each sample by checking the appropriate box following each
sample number.

After completing the DSR,  the  sampler  includes  the bottom  two  copies  with the sample
shipment to  the laboratory, returns  the  top copy to SMO, and retains the remaining copy for
their file. Upon receipt of  the sample shipment,  the laboratory documents sample condition
and signs the DSR.   The laboratory returns a copy to SMO and retains a copy for their file.
Copies of the laboratory-signed DSRs are provided to the RSCC as  part  of the data package.
                                           37

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                            Chapter 3

SMO provides DSR forms to each Region through the RSCC. The RSCC should contact SMO
two or more weeks in advance to order additional DSR forms.

3.  SAS Packing List

For "All SAS" samples, samplers  are  to  utilize  the SAS  Packing  List  (PL),  a four part
carbonless form.   The  PL provides space  to  list  up to  twenty samples on one form.  SAS
samples are numbered using the SAS number followed by a hyphen and  progressive numerical
designation, starting with 1  (e.g., 2000E-1, 2000E-2, 2000E-3, etc.).  If the sampling activity
extends over  several days and more than one PL is used, care must be taken not  to  repeat
sample numbers.  A copy of the SAS PL, as well  as an example of a properly completed PL
form, is included  in Appendix  D.   Regions  should consult SMO  to  verify that the  PL is
appropriate to use in their situation.

The sampler completes the PL by recording the SAS number, site name and location, sampling
date, shipment date, analysis laboratory, sampling office, sampler name and  telephone number,
individual SAS sample numbers, sample description and analytical parameters requested.  After
completing the PL, the sampler includes the bottom two copies with the sample shipment to
the analysis laboratory.  Following sample  shipment, the sampler sends  the top copy to SMO
and retains the second copy  as a file copy.  Upon receipt of samples,  the analysis laboratory
documents sample  condition  and signs the PL, returns a copy to SMO and  keeps a laboratory
file copy. Copies  of the laboratory-signed PLs are provided to the  RSCC as  part of the SAS
data package.

SMO provides SAS PL forms to each Region  through the RSCC.  The RSCC should contact
SMO two or more weeks in  advance to order additional SAS PL  forms.

4.  Sample Number

A unique sample  number,  recorded  on the TR,  DSR and  SAS PL,  identifies each sample.
Inorganic and  organic/VOA  sample  numbers  have  different  formats   and  are  not
interchangeable.  Strips of  adhesive labels preprinted  with individual sample  numbers are
provided by SMO  with TR  and DSR forms.  Samplers must provide sample labels, marked in
indelible ink  with the appropriate SAS sample numbers, for use  with "All SAS" samples.

The sampler affixes the  sample label to the corresponding containers that make up the sample
and, if appropriate, to the outside of the metal can in which the sample is packed (see Section
D for  packaging requirements).  The  top edge of the label should  be placed at the level of
initial sample volume so that any loss of volume can be easily detected.  In order to protect
the labels from  the effects of water and solvent, labels are covered with clear, waterproof
tape.

5.  Sample Tag

Each  sample  removed  from a waste  site  and transferred to  a  laboratory  for analysis is
identified by a sample tag  which contains specific sample information as  defined by  NEIC.
                                          38

-------
Utilization of Analytical Services                                          December 1988

Sample tags are retained by the laboratory as physical evidence of sample receipt and analysis.
Sample  tags  may  be  obtained  through the  Regional  office;  in some instances, sampling
contractors may be required to provide their own sample tags.

The information recorded on the sample tag  includes:

    o   CLP Case/SAS  No(s). - The  unique number(s)  assigned by SMO  to identify  the
        sampling event.  (Entered under "Remarks" heading.)
    o   CLP Sample No. - The  unique sample identification number  (from the TR, DSR, or
        PL) used to document that sample.  (Entered under "Remarks" heading.)
    o   Project Code - The number  assigned by EPA to the sampling  project.
    o   Station No. - A two digit number assigned by the sampling team coordinator.
    o   Date - A six digit number indicating the month, day and year of collection.
    o   Time - A four digit number indicating the military time of collection.
    o   Station Location - The sampling station description as specified  in the project plan.
    o   Samplers - Signatures of samplers on the project team.
    o   Remarks - Case/SAS  and sample numbers, as  well  as any  pertinent comments,  are
        entered here.
    o   Tag No. -  A  unique serial number  preprinted or stamped on  the tag.
    o   Lab Sample No.  - Reserved  for laboratory use.

Additionally, the sample  tag contains appropriate spaces for  noting that the sample has been
preserved  and indicating the analytical parameter(s) for which  the sample will be analyzed.
After the  sample  tag  is completed, each tag is securely attached to  the sample  container.
Samples are then shipped under chain-of-custody procedures  as described in the following
section. An example of a properly completed sample tag is provided in Appendix D.

6.  Chain-of-Custody Record

In accordance with Agency enforcement  requirements, official custody of samples must be
maintained  and  documented  from the  time of collection until the  time of  introduction as
evidence during  litigation.  The  following  custody documentation procedure was developed by
NEIC and is used in conjunction with CLP documentation (i.e., TR, DSR and SAS PL) for all
samples processed through the  program.

A sample  is considered to be  in an  individual's custody if  any of the  following criteria  are
met:  1) the sample is  in your possession or  it is  in your view after being in  your possession;
2) it was in your possession and  then locked  up or sealed to prevent tampering;  or 3) it is in a
secured area.  The team  member performing the  sampling  is responsible for the care  and
custody of  the  collected  samples until  they are dispatched properly.   In  follow up,  the
sampling team leader reviews all  field  activities to confirm that proper custody  procedures
were followed during the field work.
                                           39

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 3

The  Chain-of-Custody  Record is employed  as  physical evidence of  sample custody.   The
sampler completes a Chain-of-Custody  Record to accompany each cooler shipped from  the
field to the laboratory.  Chain-of-Custody Record forms can be obtained through the Regional
office.

The  sampler records the project number,  samplers'  signatures  and  the  Case and/or  SAS
number as header information on the Chain-of-Custody Record.  The  commonly known name
of the  site  should  not be  included  since  CLP laboratories may perform work for  the
responsible party of that site.   For each station number,  the sampler indicates date,  time,
whether the sample is a composite or grab,  station location, number of containers, analytical
parameters, CLP sample number(s) and sample tag number(s).  When shipping the samples, the
sampler signs  the  bottom  of  the form and  enters  the  date and  time  the  samples  are
relinquished.   The sampler enters shipper  name and  airbill number under the  "Remarks"
section on the  bottom right of the form.  A copy  of the Chain-of-Custody  Record, as well as
an example of a  properly completed custody record, is included in Appendix D.

The custody record is completed using waterproof ink.   Any corrections are made by drawing
a line through  and initialing the error, then entering the correct information.  Erasures are not
permissible.

The original signature copy  of the Chain-of-Custody Record is enclosed in plastic  (with CLP
sample documentation)  and  secured to the inside of the cooler  lid.   A copy of the custody
record is  retained  for  the  sampler's files.   Whenever samples are  split  with a  source  or
government agency, a separate Chain-of-Custody Record should be prepared for those samples
to indicate with  whom the samples are being split  and sample tag serial numbers from splits.

Shipping coolers are secured and  custody seals are placed across cooler openings.  As long as
custody forms are sealed inside the sample cooler and custody seals remain  intact, commercial
carriers are not required to sign off on the custody form.

The  laboratory representative who accepts the incoming sample shipment signs and dates the
Chain-of-Custody Record to acknowledge receipt of  the samples.   Once the sample transfer
process is complete, the laboratory is responsible for maintaining  internal logbooks and records
that provide a custody record throughout sample preparation and analysis.
                           D.  Sample Packaging and Shipment
1.  Packaging Requirements

Samples  processed  through  the CLP  must be  packaged for shipment  in compliance  with
current U.S.  Department of Transportation and  commercial carrier regulations.  All required
government  and commercial  carrier  shipping  papers  must be  filled  out  and  shipment
classifications made according  to  these  regulations.   (Consult  Appendix  F  for  shipping
references.)

Waterproof, metal or hard plastic ice chests or coolers are the only acceptable type of sample
shipping container.  Inside the cooler, sample containers must be enclosed in clear plastic bags
                                           40

Utilization of Analytical Services                                           December 1988

so that sample  tags  and labels  are visible.   Water and  soil samples  suspected  to  be  of
medium/high concentration  or soil  samples suspected to  contain dioxin must be enclosed in a
metal can  with  a clipped or scalable lid  (e.g., paint cans).   The  outer metal can must  be
labeled  with the number of the  sample contained inside.  Containers which do  not fit into
paint cans should be double bagged.

Shipping containers should  be packed with noncombustible, absorbent packing  material (e.g.,
vermiculite) surrounding the sample bottles or metal cans containing  samples to avoid breakage
during transport.  Earth or  ice should never be used to pack samples; earth is a contaminant,
and ice melts resulting in container  breakage.

Water samples for low/medium level organic  analysis and low/medium level  cyanide analysis
must be cooled  to 4°C with  ice when shipped.  Shipping with  ice is optional  for  soil samples
for low/medium level  organic analysis or low/medium level cyanide  analysis.   Ice  is  not
required in shipping high concentration water or  soil samples for organic analysis or for any
matrix/concentration samples for metals or dioxin analysis.  Ice  should  be in  sealed  plastic
bags to  prevent melting ice from  soaking  packing material  which, when soaked,  makes
handling of samples difficult in the lab.

Low level inorganic  and VOA water  samples require  chemical  preservation.  Users  should
consult  Chapter  II for preservation techniques.

TRs,  DSRs, SAS PLs,  Chain-of-Custody  Records, and  any  other sample documentation
accompanying the shipment must be enclosed in  a waterproof plastic bag and taped  to  the
underside of the cooler lid.   Coolers  must be  sealed with custody  seals in such a  manner that
the custody seal  would be broken if the cooler were opened.

Shipping coolers must  have clearly  visible return address labels on the outside.  Shipping
coolers that are labeled in this manner will  be  returned to the sampler by the laboratory  within
fourteen days following laboratory sample receipt.   A summary of correct sample packaging is
illustrated in Appendix D.

2.  Shipping Instructions

All samples should be shipped through  a reliable commercial carrier, such as Federal Express,
Emery, Purolator or equivalent.  Sampling offices are responsible for sample shipping charges.

Samples for  organic analysis must  be shipped for overnight delivery.  If  shipment requires
more than a 24-hour period, sample holding times  can be exceeded compromising the integrity
of the  sample analysis.   Samples  for inorganic analysis  should  be  held until sampling for  the
Case is  complete and then shipped for two-day delivery.   In the RAS inorganic program, three
days is the recommended  period for collection of a Case of samples.

The  NEIC/Denver and the  ERT/Cincinnati hazardous  waste site manuals  provide extensive
information on  EPA-approved sample  packaging  and shipment  techniques.  References  for
these materials are provided in Appendix F.  In addition, general questions concerning  sample
packaging and shipment may be directed to SMO.

3.  Shipment Coordination

To enable SMO to track the shipment of samples  from the field to the laboratory and ensure
timely laboratory receipt of samples, the sampler must notify SMO of all sample shipments on
the day  of shipment. At that time, the sampler should provide the following information:

    o   Sampler name  and phone number.

    o   Case number and/or SAS number of the project.

    o   Site name/code.
    o   Batch numbers (dioxin only).
    o   Exact number(s),  matrix(ces) and concentration(s) of samples shipped.

    o   Laboratory(ies) to which samples were shipped.
    o   Carrier name and airbill number(s) for the shipment.
    o   Method of shipment (e.g., overnight,  two-day).

    o   Date of shipment.
    o   Suspected contaminants associated with the samples or site.
    o   Any  irregularities  or  anticipated  problems  with  the  samples,  including  special
        handling instructions, or deviations from established  sampling procedures.
    o   Status  of  the sampling  project  (e.g., final shipment, update  of future shipping
        schedule).

Sample shipments made after 5:00 p.m. EST should be called in to SMO at the start of business
the  next day (8:00 a.m. EST).   SMO must be  notified by 3:00 p.m.  EST Friday of sample
shipments intended for Saturday delivery.  CLP laboratories  remain open to receive Saturday
shipments only upon advance notification by SMO and only when shipment information has
been provided to SMO  by  the sampler.

The  success of sample  shipment coordination depends on the proper use  and handling of the
sample tracking forms  and timely, complete communication among the RSCC, samplers,  SMO
and laboratories.  Any  postponements, cancellations, changes in the number or type of samples
to be collected or changes  in  shipping  dates must  be communicated  to SMO immediately.
Appendix D contains a checklist for coordinating sample shipment.


                          E.  Procedures for Problem Resolution


1.   Resolving Problems Concerning Sample Shipment and Analysis

Program laboratories routinely notify SMO upon encountering problems with sample receipt or
during sample analysis. (Examples of these types of problems are listed  in Appendix D.)  In
response,  SMO  immediately  contacts the  RSCC to  relay  the problem  and  to assist in
formulating a solution.   SMO then  contacts  the laboratory involved  to communicate the
                                           42

-------
Utilization of Analytical Services                                           December 1988

recommended action and to  authorize processing  of the sample(s) in  question.  Timeliness  is
the key to  this  type  of  problem  resolution since delays  could affect contractual  time
requirements for sample extraction and analysis and, if extreme, could invalidate the analysis.

Users should  refer general  questions regarding sample shipment,  required  sample analysis,
laboratory  contracts or the  status of data  deliverables  on a  particular  Case or SAS to the
appropriate SMO  personnel.   Technical questions regarding contract analytical procedures
should be referred to the PO or the DPO of the laboratory  through the NPO.

2.  Resolving Problems Concerning Analytical Data

In the CLP's Regional/Laboratory Communication System, authorized Regional  personnel can
contact  specified laboratory  personnel to resolve  questions regarding the final  data package.
This system  may  only be used after laboratory data submission and  may never be used  to
initiate  additional analytical work to resolve data questions.   All communications  between
laboratories and Regional contacts are  recorded by each  party  on  a  Telephone  Record Log.
Documented information includes Case  and/or  SAS  number,  individuals  making  contact,
subject  of the discussion and  its resolution.   In  follow up,  the Region and  laboratory send
copies of completed telephone logs to SMO where the logs become a permanent part of the
Case/SAS  file.   An  example  of the Telephone  Record  Log  is included in  Appendix  D.
Telephone  Record Logs are available  from SMO.

Prior  to the  laboratory's submission of the final data package, client queries  regarding  those
analyses or data are handled through SMO.  Depending on the  nature of  the question,  SMO
will respond or will direct the client to the appropriate NPO official for resolution. Comments
regarding laboratory performance, whether  positive or negative,  should be  directed in writing
to the DPO of the laboratory with a copy provided to the PO.

        CHAPTER IV
AUXILIARY SUPPORT SERVICES

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 4

 The CLP provides several supplementary services that have developed as a natural adjunct to
 the program's analytical services.  A description of each auxiliary service and the procedures
 for accessing the service are provided in the following sections.
                           A.  Sample Bottle Repository Program
 1.  Types of Containers Available

 The  Sample Bottle Repository program  provides CLP  clients  with eleven types  of cleaned,
 quality controlled  sample containers for  use  in hazardous waste sampling  collection.  Sample
 coolers and sample preserving agents are  not  supplied through the program.

 To ensure that no contamination exists that  might  affect sample data results,  each container
 type is  cleaned and  quality  control tested  by  specified procedures.   These methods  are
 directly related to the analyses that may be performed  on samples  collected in the container.
 The  following  chart  lists  the types  of containers  provided through  the program  and  the
 type(s) of samples appropriate for collection in each container. To  ensure  appropriate quality
 control, samplers  should  use  containers only to collect  samples as  listed on the  following
 chart.

 2.  Ordering Procedures

 The  Sample Bottle Repository program may be accessed by Regional  and contractor clients
 for  sample  collection  under  the  Superfund  program  and  other  nonSuperfund Agency
 programs.  Two individuals from each organization are designated as Authorized Requestors
 (ARs); only these  individuals may place  container requests  through the program.   Users
 interested in accessing the Repository program should contact their  RSCC or SMO for further
 information.  State personnel should access  the program through their Regional EPA office.

 Once a  user has  become  authorized to request containers from a Repository, SMO  provides
 them with a supply of Delivery Requests (DRs), a three part carbonless form,  so that the AR
 can request containers directly from the Repository. Since the Repository can respond only
 to requests submitted by a designated AR,  users must promptly notify SMO of any changes in
 AR designations.

 Container requests are defined  by the amount of  time between  the date  the  Repository
 receives the request (verbal or written) and the required delivery date:

     o    Routine  Request:  Fifteen  or more working days lead-time for delivery.
     o    Fast Turnaround Request:  More than three but  less than fifteen  working days lead-
          time for delivery.
     o    Emergency Request:  Less  than three working days lead-time for  delivery.

 All DRs must be signed by an AR. For routine requests, the  original copy of the completed
 DR is sent to the Repository at the address indicated on the form, the second copy is retained
 for the user's file, and  the third copy is  sent  to  SMO.  Because  of short lead-times, fast-

                                            46

-------
Auxiliary Support Services                                                  December 1988

 turnaround and emergency requests should be telephoned to the Repository at the number
 provided on the form.  The written DR must be distributed per routine procedure  to confirm
 the request.

 Whenever possible, users should submit requests a minimum of two weeks in advance of the
 required delivery  date to ensure timely and complete delivery of containers.  The  Repository
 may  not be able to  respond  to  all  emergency and fast-turnaround requests; response depends
 on Repository inventory and in-house requests.

 In the event  that requested containers are no longer needed,  the  user  must immediately
 contact  the  Repository  to  verbally  cancel  the  request,  follow up with a cancellation
 memorandum  to the Repository, and send a copy of the memorandum to SMO.  Cancellation
 memos, as well as all other project-related correspondence, should cite the  appropriate  DR
 number.

 3.  Shipment Information

 Upon receipt of  the DR, Repository  personnel begin preparing the  request and  schedule
 shipment.  Repository  personnel immediately notify the AR, if  for  any  reason, the request
 cannot be met in  full by the required delivery date.  Often partial shipments  can be  arranged
 over several days to meet the AR's requirement.  If concurrent  requests  are received at the
 Repository that  cannot be  filled  in a timely manner and if  partial shipments  cannot be
 satisfactorily arranged,  the Repository immediately notifies SMO.  SMO then  coordinates with
 the involved  RSCC in  determining the priority of container requests based  on the  Region's
 sampling needs.

 Each  carton in a shipment is marked "Box 	 of 	," and a Repository  Packing  List
 (PL) is included in Box  1 of each shipment so that the recipient can verify that the entire
 shipment has been received.  In addition,  the Repository sends two copies of the PL to  the
 AR at the time of shipment.  The AR confirms with the recipient that the  entire shipment
 was received  in good condition, then enters the date of receipt and signs the  PL in the space
 indicated to confirm receipt.  The AR  must return a copy  of the signed  PL to SMO within
 seven days of shipment receipt.  The second copy of the PL is retained for the AR's files.

 4.   Summary of Container Cleaning and Quality Control Procedures

 Containers provided under this  program are cleaned in Lots of approximately one hundred
 containers. (Exact Lot sizes for  each container type are determined as a multiple of a case so
 that a  container Lot  is not split between  cases.)  Each container Lot is assigned  a unique
 identifying number.  This Lot number is permanently  affixed to each container in the Lot,
 recorded in the Repository logbook, and entered on the  PL when containers from that Lot are
 shipped.   For quality assurance  purposes, each container's Lot number must be permanently
 associated with  the  sample collected in that particular container.   Samplers should record each
 container  Lot number and associated  CLP  sample numbers in their field  records at the time
 of sample  collection.

 The Repository routinely performs QC analyses on one percent of the number of  containers
 per Lot.   If a container fails  to pass the QC  test(s), the  associated Lot  of containers is
 reprocessed through the system.   No Lot is released for shipment until acceptable QC results
 are verified.

 An additional container is removed from each Lot and stored for QC purposes.  QC storage
 containers  are  kept in  a contaminant-free area of the Repository which is  monitored for
 volatile compounds.  The QC storage  containers are retained  for one year in  order to recheck
 for cleanliness  should possible contamination of  a Lot  of containers  come into question at a
 later date.

 A  QC  release number, assigned  to each Lot of containers that passes QC analysis,  is marked
 on both the  analysis  and storage QC containers for each Lot.  The QC release number is
 cross-referenced with the Lot number in Repository records, so that all QC records can be
 accessed based  on the Lot number identification.

 5.  Procedures for Problem Resolution

 a.   Resolving Problems Concerning Container Shipment

 If there are problems relating to shipment (i.e., shipment does not arrive  by scheduled date,
 shipment  is  incomplete, or  contents  are damaged),  the  AR  or  shipment  recipient (as
 appropriate  to  the  situation)  should contact  the  Repository   immediately  to  resolve the
 problem.  If the problem is not satisfactorily  handled,  the AR should then contact SMO for
 resolution.

 b.  Resolving Problems Concerning Container Contamination

 If a  user  has  definitive cause  to suspect  that container  contamination  may  affect sample
 analysis results, the concerned RSCC  should notify SMO by  telephone and follow up with an
 explanatory  memorandum   directed  to  the  Repository  PO and copied  to  SMO.   The
 memorandum should  include a  description  of the problem, rationale  for suspecting  container
 contamination,  supporting documentation (if available), and  Lot  number(s) for all  containers
 concerned.   The  user should verify  that  the contamination encountered  is not a  result of
                                            49

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 4

 either improper field procedures (e.g., use of contaminated water for field  blanks) or poor
 laboratory practice  (e.g., background contamination)  and include  this information as part  of
 the rationale in the  memorandum submitted to the PO.

 Upon PO request, the Repository will check the QC  analysis record for the concerned Lot(s)
 of containers and verify  that contract procedures  were correctly followed and that the Lot
 passed the  QC analysis.   Should an error be identified in this process, the Repository will
 immediately notify  SMO.

 As  a second  step,  following PO  authorization,  the Repository will pull  the  QC storage
 container for the Lot(s) and analyze the container(s) for suspected contaminants.  SMO will
 notify the RSCC of the analysis results so that if there is a contamination problem, analysis
 data from  samples  collected in other containers  in  that Lot  can be  appropriately flagged.
 Should contamination be confirmed by analysis of the QC  storage container, the Repository
 will  immediately identify the problem and  correct procedures  as  necessary  to  resolve  it.
 Should a wide-spread problem be identified at any time, SMO would notify  ARs in a timely
 manner  so that affected containers could be pulled before use in the field.
                            B.  Shipment Management Program

 The  Shipment Management  Contractor  establishes,  maintains and  monitors  all  shipping
 accounts for the transportation  of CLP materials.   Currently,  the  Contractor coordinates
 accounts for the shipment of sample containers, sample  coolers  and contract compliance
 screening results.  Other  items that are routed for CLP use may also  be addressed by this
 program at the request of the  NPO.

 1.  Sample Containers

 A packing list accompanies all cases of containers that are shipped from the  Sample Bottle
 Repository to designated recipients.  At the time of shipment, the Repository sends a copy of
 the packing list to  the Shipment Management Contractor who  utilizes the list to verify and
 pay shipping  invoices.   SMO notifies the  Contractor of any  shipments that require special
 tracking (e.g.,  shipments  for  overnight delivery, shipments not originating at a  Repository).
 If any questions  arise regarding  the shipment of sample containers, the  Contractor  contacts
 the appropriate Repository for resolution.

 2.  Sample Coolers

 Field samplers package samples into coolers for transportation to contract  laboratories per the
 procedures  specified in Chapter III,  Section  D.  Sampling  contractors  are responsible  for
 clearly  marking a return address on  the outside of each  cooler.  Contract laboratories  are
 required to  return  each  cooler  to  the  indicated  sampling office  within fourteen  days  of
 sample  receipt.  The Shipment Management Contractor is responsible for tracking and paying
 for cooler shipments from the laboratories to the sampling offices.
                                            50

 3.   Contract Compliance Screening Results

 After reviewing each data package via the Contract Compliance Screening (CCS) process (see
 Section G), SMO distributes the results to EMSL/LV, the appropriate Region and the relevant
 laboratory.   SMO also sends a copy of the air carrier manifest to the  Shipment Management
 Contractor who uses the manifest to verify and pay shipping invoices.   If any problems arise
 regarding the shipment of CCS results, both SMO and the Shipment Management Contractor
 should be notified immediately.
                       C.  Environmental Services Assistance Teams

 ESAT  contracts provide  technical,  management  and other  related resource support  for
 Superfund and nonSuperfund  Agency  programs.   The two  ESAT contracts are defined by
 zones with ESAT Zone 1 supporting Regions I, II, III and V, and ESAT Zone 2 supporting
 EPA Headquarters and Regions IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX and X.

 ESAT  contractors  provide assistance in  the  following task  areas:   1) analytical support
 including  chemical  analysis and data  reporting per CLP or  other  designated methods; 2)
 review of CLP and  other analytical data to determine data quality for purposes of usability;
 3) logistical  and administrative support including  sample, data  and document control;  4)
 QA/QC support including preparation and  review of QA project plans, CLP special analytical
 services method definition,  and CLP IFB protocol review; 5) management and  reporting; and
 6) other task related activities to be defined through EPA technical direction as  the needs
 occur.  Unless otherwise directed, ESAT contractors apply CLP protocols and follow program
 guidelines.
                                 D. Information Services


 1.   Regional Backlog Inventory Report

 Upon request, SMO distributes  a Regional Backlog Inventory Report  to  the DPO.  This
 computerized report provides  a  summary of the Region's use of CLP  resources during a
 specified time period.   The  following information is  included  in  the Backlog Inventory
 Report:

     o   Case number
     o   Sample number
     o   Laboratory name and  contract number
     o   Laboratory sample receipt date
     o   Sample weight and components analyzed

     o   Sample type
     o   Data due date

CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 4

     o   Days  late/early calculations for contractually  required  deliverables  (i,e, extraction,
         VOA  analysis and sample data package)
     o   Invoice numbers
     o   CCS results to lab date
     o   Data complete date

 The Region utilizes the Backlog Inventory Report for management  and resource planning as
 well  as  verifying  monthly sample  receipts  and  analyses performed.   An example  of the
 Regional Backlog Inventory Report is contained in Appendix E.

 2.   Sample Status Information

 After scheduling  analysis, SMO tracks samples  from  shipment through  data  reporting via
 manual and computerized tracking systems.  SMO maintains ongoing communication with the
 DPOs,  RSCCs  and  laboratories regarding  sample status  and  responds   to  inquires  from
 concerned parties,  as appropriate. A backlog report listing  each laboratory's samples and the
 number  of  days  the  samples  have been in-house is  sent  bimonthly  to  the  DPOs  and
 laboratories.

 3.   General Program Information

 Under the direction of CLP management, SMO serves as the program's information center for
 incoming calls and correspondence.   Upon request, SMO provides program participants and
 interested parties  with information  and materials on program services  and procedures, and
 refers callers to the proper sources for additional  information.
                                 E.  Enforcement Support
 1.   Generation of Enforcement Quality Data

 One major objective of Superfund is to recover costs incurred in the investigation and clean
 up of hazardous waste  sites from responsible parties.  The process by which these parties are
 identified and  determined  to  be responsible  often  involves litigation.   Frequently,  the
 Agency's case uses CLP data generated from the analysis  of samples collected at a given site.
 The CLP supports these and other enforcement requirements of Superfund by  ensuring that
 CLP analytical data is  documented and available for litigation.  Through NEIC, the CLP has
 established detailed procedures  and documentation to  ensure that sample data  meet Agency
 enforcement standards.

 a.   Chain-of-Custodv and Document Control

 Each CLP analytical contract requires the laboratory contractor to implement a comprehensive
 document control system and to employ strict chain-of-custody procedures in the receipt and
 handling of  samples throughout the analytical  and data  reporting  process.   The laboratory
 must  have  written standard  operating  procedures  for receipt  and  log-in of  samples,

                                           52

-------
Auxiliary Support Services                                                 December 1988

 maintenance  of sample  security  after log-in,  tracking  of  samples  through  all steps of
 preparation and analysis, and organization and assembly of all sample-related  documentation
 on a Case-specific basis.  At  a minimum, required document control and chain-of-custody
 records include custody records, sample tracking  records, analyst logbook pages, bench sheets,
 chromatographic charts, computer printouts, raw data  summaries, instrument  logbook  pages,
 correspondence and document inventory.

 Before a laboratory is awarded  a CLP contract and continuing  periodically throughout the life
 of the contract, NEIC audits  each laboratory facility  to  ensure compliance with chain-of-
 custody and  document control requirements.  In  addition to facility audits,  NEIC reviews
 laboratory data and evidence documentation on a regular basis.

 b.  NEIC Evidence Audits

 Laboratories  are  contractually  required  to  submit a complete  Case file purge package,
 containing all evidence and  other documentation relating to sample analysis, within 270 days
 after submission of analytical data.  The Contractor Evidence Audit Team (CEAT) reviews all
 Case  file purge packages  to  verify  that the documentation is complete and  conforms  to
 contractual requirements; CEAT routinely audits a selected number of packages  to determine
 adherence to  procedure.  Following  review  and/or audit, NEIC sends  laboratory Case file
 purge packages to  the Region,  where  the packages are  filed with the analytical data and  may
 be subject to additional review.  A list of Case  file purge materials is included  in Appendix
 E.

 NEIC evidence audits may involve production of sample profiles.  A sample profile traces the
 path  and handling  of specific  samples  from  the point  of  collection through  shipping,
 laboratory receipt, chemical analysis and  data reporting.  The profile identifies all evidence
 and sequence  of events necessary to  reconstruct the sample  history and  thus  present  to the
 case attorney  a depiction  of the sample integrity.  In addition  to the routine generation of
 sample profiles in  evidence  audits, authorized Regional personnel and enforcement attorneys
 may request NEIC to prepare Case-specific sample profiles to support enforcement activities.

 2.  Additional CLP Enforcement Support

 Court appearances  and other  mandated  deadlines often  do  not allow sufficient time for
 completion of the  normal  Case file purge package submission, review and audit process.  In
 this  event,  enforcement activities  require direct CLP support.   Data  package  evaluation
 and/or testimony from laboratory or CLP personnel may also be needed.  Through SMO, the
 CLP has established procedures to coordinate and  respond to short term enforcement-related
 requirements.

 a.  Request Procedures

 Regional counsel,  NEIC  or other designated   EPA  personnel  submit  enforcement-related
 requests  in a  memorandum to the NPO.   The  NPO  reviews the memorandum, determines
                                            53

 necessary CLP action and forwards the request along with directions for action to  SMO.  If a
 request requires immediate response,  the requestor should contact SMO directly by telephone
 and follow up with the written request memorandum to the NPO.

 b.   Requestor Information Required

 To initiate CLP action, the following  information must be provided by the requestor:

     o   Name  and telephone number  of Regional contact coordinating  the enforcement
         activity
     o   Case/SAS number(s) of specific site sampling(s)
     o   Sample number(s)
     o   Date(s) of sample collection
     o   Laboratory(ies) that performed the analysis
     o   Type of support needed

 Most requests can be met quickly; however, a  two week lead-time is strongly recommended.

 c.   Documentation/Support Provided by CLP

 In responding to enforcement-related requests, SMO provides the following support:

     o   Arranges  for  the timely delivery of all  laboratory  and evidence  documentation
         relating to  specific sample analyses (within a minimum of seven days of request, if
         designated).
     o   Obtains information relating to sample analysis or handling not specifically required
         under laboratory contracts.

     o   Assists in arranging for expert testimony by laboratory or CLP personnel.
     o   Augments Regional resources for analytical data review.


                             F.  Cost Recovery Substantiation

 The CLP provides documentation for program analytical costs to the EPA's Office of Waste
 Programs Enforcement (OWPE) in support  of Superfund cost  recovery efforts.

 1.   Request Procedures

 Requests for cost recovery documentation must be made by completing a Cost Recovery (CR)
 checklist and mailing it to OWPE. This checklist is designed  to provide basic site information
 needed to compile cost documentation from the CLP and other sources.  A copy of the OWPE
 CR checklist is included in Appendix E.

 In response  to  requests,  OWPE collects and  organizes cost-related documentation from  the
 CLP and several  other sources, such as the EPA Financial  Management Division,  the EPA

                                           54

Auxiliary Support Services                                                 December 1988

 Office  of Solid Waste  and Emergency Response, and REM,  FIT,  TAT and  other  Agency
 contractors.  In case of conflicts, OWPE is responsible for prioritizing incoming requests.  A
 minimum lead-time of four to six weeks  is required to provide the requestor with a full site
 cost recovery report.

 2.   Requestor Information Required

 To enable the CLP to prepare its cost documentation package, requestors must supply the
 following information on the CR checklist:

     o   Identification number. The appropriate CLP Case or SAS number must be  entered
         here.  Although rare, if the Case or SAS number refers to more than one site, the
         specific sample  numbers  (from  the Case  Traffic Reports  or SAS Packing Lists)
         related to  the sites in question must  be provided.
     o   Name and location of site.
     o   Date the cost report is needed.  A minimum of four weeks  from the date of request
         must be given.  Six week lead-time  is recommended whenever possible.

 3.   Documentation Provided by CLP

 The following information is assembled by SMO and submitted to OWPE:

     o   Financial  Summary  for  Cost  Analysis—This summary lists  analytical and sample
         management  costs on a Case and/or  SAS basis and  shows  total expenses for a
         particular site.   Information on how  sample  management costs  are computed  is
         included.
     o   Summary  of Invoices,  Vouchers and  Canceled Checks—This  report  lists all  SAS
         laboratory  invoice  numbers and   includes SAS canceled  check  numbers.   The
         summary is organized by SAS number and laboratory  name.
     o   Routine Analytical Services Cost Report—This  computerized report is organized by
         Case  number and  laboratory contract.    The  report  includes laboratory  invoice
         numbers,  net  analysis costs, total  of  adjustments  for contractual noncompliance,
         early delivery considerations, and sample management costs; and lists total costs on a
         sample-by-sample, laboratory contract and Case basis.
     o   Routine Analytical Services Case Sample List—This computerized report is organized
         by  Case  number and laboratory contract with laboratory invoice references.   The
         report provides  detail on  deliverable  turnaround times, analysis components  and
         sample types.

     o   Special Analytical Services Cost  Report—This computerized  report provides a brief
         description of the service provided  and  includes the number of samples analyzed,
         data turnaround time, contract start date, laboratory  receipt date, unit costs sample
         management costs, and contract  status.   The  report also lists  total contract costs on
         SAS and laboratory bases.
     o   Copies of  all SAS-Related Canceled  Checks  and Laboratory Invoices.

                            G. Contract Compliance Screening

 SMO  performs CCS on all  RAS  data produced  by the CLP.  Modified  CCS can also  be
 performed on a case-by-case basis on "RAS Plus SAS" or "All SAS" data.

 CCS  is a  structured  review  which  determines  completeness  of  data  deliverables and
 compliance of QA/QC parameters with contract  specifications.  The primary objectives  of
 CCS are to resolve identified discrepancies  in a timely manner and to identify the liquidated
 category for data  not  in compliance.  Data which meet all  CCS criteria at  initial receipt are
 recommended  for  100% payment of the amount due.   Data  with CCS defects have some
 payment  recommendation  withheld,  either  temporarily or  permanently,  depending on the
 nature and extent  of the defect identified.

 Structurally similar  CCS procedures are  applied to organic,  inorganic and dioxin data.  CCS
 results are produced  on  a  fast-turnaround basis  (fifteen days)  and  identify  compliance
 discrepancies  by code, criterion, fraction and sample.  Results  are distributed  to the relevant
 laboratory, Region and EMSL/LV.

 Results are accumulated in the CCS Database in  order to produce routine  and  requested
 summaries of laboratory performance and compliance trends.  Examples of CCS result forms
 are  included in Appendix E.
                                 H.  Data Review Services

 A  full range  of review services are used  to  assess CLP data.   Objectives  of the review
 services are:

     o   To determine the usability  and limitations  of  data given particular field or policy
         assessment criteria.
     o   To maximize the amount of usable data by identifying critical properties of data and
         by resolving or proposing solutions to analytical or quality control problems.
     o   To provide systematic and standardized data quality assessment and status summary
         to determine  method, laboratory and program performance.

 These review services  are performed  by  a number of operations:

     o   Review  for  data usability  is  performed  by  Regional  personnel  and  contractors.
         Recommended  review procedures  have  been  standardized  and  organized  into
         functional guidelines for evaluating CLP data.  EPA Data Validation  Workgroups
         have  produced  specific documents for review  of  organic,  inorganic  and dioxin
         analyses.
                                           56

Auxiliary Support Services                                                December 1988

     o   Comprehensive QA review is  performed by  EMSL/LV on specific data packages.
         Review and assessment of some program-wide QA  results are also performed  by
         EMSL/LV  to  evaluate method  and  laboratory performance and  the quality  of
         analytical data.
     o   Under direction of the CLP  management,  EMSL/LV and/or  SMO  may perform
         additional data review to  assess a problem  Case or provide a second  opinion  on
         usability.

 All  requests for SMO  data review  services should be placed using the SMO  Data Review
 Request memorandum available from SMO.  An example of this memorandum is provided in
 Appendix  E.  Copies  of the request should  be  submitted  to SMO (Attention:   Data Review
 Team), the SMO  PO and the  RSCC.  Upon authorization  by the PO,  SMO  schedules the
 review and notifies the requestor of the date of scheduled completion.  (Data  review cannot
 be initiated until  all  deliverables  for the subject Case(s)  have  been  received from the
 laboratory.)

 1.   Requestor Information Required

 In  completing  the  Data Review  Request  form,  the client  must provide  the following
 information for each Case:

     o   SMO Case number
     o   Site name
     o   Analytical laboratory name(s)
     o   Number of samples
     o   Sample list
     o   Type(s) of review requested
     o   Requested date for review  completion
     o   User name and contact
     o   Intended use of data

 A minimum lead-time  of two  weeks is required for data review.   However, review time is
 variable depending upon the number of samples involved and the nature of  the  review.  If
 conflicts occur, the appropriate DPO(s) will be notified and asked to prioritize requests.

 2.   Documentation Provided by CLP

 An  evaluation  report  that  includes  a  sample/result  matrix  and supporting  statistics and
 documentation is produced  for  each  type of review.   For each sample fraction, the report
 indicates whether the data are considered acceptable, acceptable given qualifications noted  or
 unacceptable.   Reasons for the designation are discussed and completed  data review forms for
 each of the areas of performance are included in the report to the client.

           CHAPTER V
LABORATORY SELECTION AND STARTUP

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 5
                             A.  Laboratory Selection Process


 1.   Qualification Requirements

 a.   Preaward Performance Evaluation Sample Analysis

 The first criterion for laboratory selection is preaward performance evaluation  (PE)  sample
 analysis.   Laboratories request  preaward PE samples  through the Contracting Officer (CO)
 and,  if required,  submit a deposit that is returned upon submission of the PE  sample data
 results.

 PE samples, distributed by EMSL/LV, are representative of the  types of field  samples that
 the laboratory would be routinely analyzing under the  subject procurement.  The  laboratory is
 required to analyze PE samples according to contract  procedures set forth in the IFB and to
 report PE  sample  data  according to IFB requirements.  The standard turnaround  time  for PE
 sample data submission is twenty-one days.  Bidders'  PE sample data are  evaluated by NPO
 and  EMSL/LV  personnel for  compliance  with  contract  requirements  and   accuracy  of
 determination of compounds at the levels known to be in the PE samples.  Analysis results
 are rated by a  scoresheet developed by  the NPO and EMSL/LV;  currently, the acceptable
 performance score is seventy percent.

 b.   Bid Price

 The  second criterion  for laboratory  selection  is  bid price.   Following bid opening,  bid
 abstracts are reviewed and evaluated by  NPO  and Contracts Management  Division  (CMD)
 officials.   The lowest competitive bidders that  have received acceptable performance scores
 for their PE samples are evaluated for bidder responsibility as detailed below.

 2.   Bidder Responsibility

 a.   Bidder-Supplied Documentation

 At the time of submission of PE sample data,  bidders are required to submit  documented
 evidence  that  they  have the  internal procedures, equipment  and personnel  in place  for
 successful   performance of contract  requirements.    Required  documentation includes:   1)
 functional  descriptions and  detailed  resumes of key personnel,  2) inventory of laboratory
 equipment  and description of laboratory space, and 3) written Standard Operating Procedures
 (SOPs).   Submitted  documentation  is  reviewed by  NPO and  EMSL/LV personnel  and is
 utilized by the EPA  in performance of the site evaluation.  After contract award, bidders are
 required to submit revised SOPs to the PO.

 b.   Laboratory Site Evaluation

 NPO, CMD, EMSL/LV  and NEIC  personnel participate in onsite  evaluations of laboratory
 facilities of bidders  which scored acceptably on the  PE sample analyses and are within the
 EPA-determined  competitive range.   The results of the onsite evaluation are considered in
 the final determination of bidder  responsibility for contract  award.

-------
Laboratory Selection and Startup                                           December 1988


                              B.  Laboratory Startup Process

 Laboratories  entering  the  program  undergo  a learning  curve  process  during which they
 become fully familiarized and obtain expertise in the application of program methodologies
 and QC  procedures.   To  reduce the learning curve period, the CLP  utilizes a  series of
 laboratory startup procedures during the laboratory's initial contract operations and whenever
 problems are identified during contract performance.

 1.  Provision of Standards to Laboratory

 Immediately following contract award, laboratories are required to order analytical reference
 standards  from the Agency's  contractor-operated QA Materials  Bank.  These  standards are
 used  by  the  laboratory  to  verify  laboratory supplied  standards  throughout  contract
 performance. Chapter VI, Section A provides further information on analytical  standards.

 2.  PO Review of First Data Packages

 Initial  data packages are  targeted for immediate review and evaluation by the PO, EMSL/LV
 and the Region.  This intensive review focuses on any problems the laboratory may have in
 applying methodologies or  in reporting data.  The PO and  DPO supply  feedback to the
 laboratory concerning  the status of the data and work with the laboratory in identifying and
 remedying problems.   Depending on the extent of the problems  found during  the review of
 an initial data package, the PO or DPO  may visit the laboratory facility and  work onsite with
 laboratory personnel to rectify problems.

 3.  PO/DPO/SMO/Laboratory Communication

 Telephone  communication  is the  most widely applied  method  for problem-solving  and
 maintaining efficient  laboratory operations  during  both  the  laboratory startup phase  and
 throughout  the  performance  of the contract.   In  general,  the  laboratory notifies SMO
 immediately upon identification  of  any problem regarding  the  samples or  any  difficulties
 encountered in analysis.   SMO routinely  resolves sample-related  problems  in coordination
 with the Regional client and refers technical problems to the PO or DPO, who  then  contacts
 the laboratory to resolve  the  problem.   The resolution  and  any specific actions  taken are
 reported  to  the  appropriate SMO personnel  who records this information  as  part  of  the
 permanent  Case record.   The laboratory  also records  the  problem  and resolution  in  the
 narrative portion of the sample data report so  that the Region will consider  this information
 when evaluating and using the data.


                          C.  Laboratory Performance Evaluation


 1.   Performance Evaluation Sample Analysis

 On a quarterly basis,  EMSL/LV distributes PE samples to contract  laboratories for analysis.
 EMSL/LV then evaluates the laboratories' PE sample data, and the NPO  uses this evaluation

                                           61

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 5


 in formally  assessing laboratory  contract performance.   Additionally, EMSL/LV enters  PE
 sample data  into the program's QA and Results Database.  These data are utilized, along with
 other laboratory data, in trend analyses  and evaluation  of contract  QC  criteria.  Refer  to
 Chapter VI,  Section C for a more detailed description of PE samples.

 2.  Onsite Laboratory Evaluation

 Regional, NEIC and  EMSL/LV personnel visit each contract  laboratory facility in  order  to
 evaluate  laboratory procedures.   The frequency of onsite evaluation  depends,  in part, upon
 laboratory performance.   The NPO utilizes the  evaluation reports which result from these
 onsite visits in identifying  and remedying laboratory  performance  problems.   Chapter VI,
 Section E details the onsite laboratory evaluation process.

 3.  Corrective Action

 The  PO and  DPO  work  closely  with  each  laboratory  to  correct identified  laboratory
 performance problems.   Depending on the scope of the problems,  the  laboratory may be
 placed on temporary hold  and  will not receive additional  samples for analysis  until the
 problem has been corrected.

 If the laboratory's  noncompliance to contract performance or delivery requirements continues,
 the  NPO may  request the CO to initiate a  contract action such as a Show Cause Notice.   A
 Show Cause  Notice requires the Contractor, within a ten-day period, to present any facts the
 Government can use  to  determine if the Contractor's  failure  to  perform arose without any
 fault or negligence on the part of the  Contractor.  The Contractor must submit substantial
 evidence to demonstrate that the contract should not be  terminated for default.

 A recovery plan is generally included as part of the Contractor's response to  the Show Cause
 Notice.  NPO and  CMD officials  review the Contractor's response  and proposed recovery plan
 to determine whether the Contractor has presented sufficient evidence to  demonstrate  timely
 remedy  of  the  noncompliance.   Following  this review,  if  the Contractor has presented
 acceptable evidence toward recovery, the Government issues a  Cure Notice to the Contractor.
 A Cure  Notice delineates the Government-accepted recovery  plan  that the Contractor must
 follow to avoid contract  termination. The recovery  plan includes actions  and time schedules
 for  completion of each  step  of  the recovery process,  and specifies  an  overall time  period
 acceptable for completion of recovery.

 Should the Contractor not comply with the  recovery schedule,  the Government's  next and
 final step may be contract termination for default.  In addition to  terminating the laboratory's
 contract, this action affects the evaluation of the  laboratory's  responsibility for award under
 future CLP solicitations.
                                            62

        CHAPTER VI
PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 6

 Quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) are integral parts of the CLP. The QA process
 consists of management review and oversight at  the planning, implementation, and completion
 stages of environmental data collection.  The QA process  ensures that the data  provided is of
 the quality required.  The QC process includes the activities required during data collection to
 produce the data quality desired and to document the quality of the collected data.

 During  the  planning of  an  environmental  data  collection  program,  QA activities  focus  on
 defining  data quality criteria and  designing a QC system to measure the quality of data  being
 generated.  During the implementation  of the data collection effort, QA  activities ensure that
 the QC system is functioning effectively, and that the deficiencies uncovered by  the QC system
 are corrected.   After environmental data are  collected,  QA activities focus on assessing the
 quality  of data obtained  to  determine  its suitability  to support  enforcement  or  remedial
 decisions.

 A  complete QA/QC  program  includes internal  laboratory QC criteria  that must be met at
 acceptable levels of performance.   These performance levels are determined by QA review.
 External  review of data and  procedures  is  accomplished  by the monitoring activities of the
 NPO, the Regions, SMO,  NEIC and EMSL/LV.  Blind  performance samples,  magnetic tape
 audits and laboratory onsite evaluations provide an external QA  reference for CLP.  A feedback
 loop supplies the  results of the various review functions  to  the contract laboratories through
 direct communication with the POs and DPOs.  The following sections describe overall QA/QC
 operations and how the CLP meets the QA/QC objective.
                            A.  Laboratory Quality Control Criteria
 1.  Standard Operating Procedures

 In any operation that is performed on a  repetitive  basis, assurance  of data quality and
 reproducibility is best accomplished through  the  use of SOPs.   All SOPs,  as  prepared and
 presented to  the Agency by the Contractor, reflect activities as they are currently performed in
 the laboratory.  In addition, laboratory SOPs:

     o    Are  consistent   with  current  EPA  regulations,   guidelines,  and  CLP  contractual
          requirements.
     o    Are consistent with  instrument manufacturers' specific instruction manuals.
     o    Are available to EPA personnel during an onsite laboratory evaluations.
     o    Provide  documentation that is sufficiently complete to  record the  performance  of  all
          tasks required by the analytical  protocol.
     o    Demonstrate the validity of data reported by the Contractor and explain the cause of
          missing or inconsistent results.
     o    Describe the corrective measures and feedback mechanisms  utilized when  analytical
          results do not meet protocol requirements.
     o    Are  updated   as   necessary   when   contract,  facility,  or  contractor   procedural
          modifications are made.

Program Quality Assurance                                                 December 1988

     o   Are archived for future reference in usability or evidentiary situations.
     o   Have the appropriate portions available at the appropriate work stations.
     o   Are subject to a document control procedure  which precludes the  use  of outdated or
         inappropriate SOPs.

 The Agency requires SOPs for sample storage  and preparation, glassware cleaning, calibration,
 analytical  procedures and standards, maintenance activities, and data reduction,  documentation
 and validation procedures.   In  addition,  evidentiary  SOPs are  required  as stated  in each
 analytical  Statement  of Work.  The SOP format may vary depending upon the kind  of activity
 for which the SOP is prepared.

 Following contract award,  the laboratory sends a complete set of SOPs to the  DPO,  EMSL/LV
 (quality assurance SOPs) and NEIC  (evidentiary SOPs).   Once  SOPs have been  submitted, the
 laboratory is responsible for providing any revised or  new  SOPs to the DPO, EMSL/LV and
 NEIC, as appropriate.

 2.   Quality Assurance Plan

 Each  contract laboratory establishes a  QA  program with the  objective of  providing  sound
 analytical  chemical measurements.  The program incorporates  the QC procedures, any necessary
 corrective action, and all documentation  required during data collection as  well  as the quality
 assessment measures performed by management  to ensure  acceptable  data  production.   As
 evidence of such a program, the Contractor prepares a written Quality  Assurance Plan  (QAP)
 which achieves the following:

     o   Maintains data integrity, validity and usability.
     o   Ensures that analytical measurement  systems are maintained in  an  acceptable state of
         stability and reproducibility.
     o   Ensures  a  consistent number  of qualified  personnel  sufficient  to  meet  contract
         requirements and deliver the product  in a timely fashion.
     o   Detects problems  through data  assessment and establishes  corrective action  procedures
         which keep the  analytical process reliable.
     o   Documents  all aspects of the  measurement  process in order to provide data which are
         technically sound and legally defensible.

 The QAP presents  the  policies, organization, objectives, functional guidelines,  and specific
 QA/QC activities designed to achieve the data quality requirements in the  analytical contract.
 Elements  of a QAP include organization and personnel, facilities and  equipment, document
 control, analytical methodology, data generation, and QA/QC.  Where applicable, the  Contractor
 includes or  references  SOPs pertaining to each element as part of  the QAP.  In addition, the
 QAP is available during  onsite  laboratory evaluations. Appendix F  contains  references relevant
 to  the preparation of a QAP.
                                            65

CLP User's Guide                                                               Chapter 6

 3.  Analytical Standards Traceability Requirements

 As an  element of overall QA, the Agency has established a repository of analytical standards
 and calibration  materials for use in the  CLP.   All  analytical  data  generated  by the CLP are
 required to  be traceable  to  EPA Repository standards.   Traceability must be applied by the
 contract laboratories to  all  calibration  and  QC solutions  used to  generate data  for  CLP
 requirements.   Standards supplied  by the EPA  Repository  are  provided for  the  purpose of
 traceability only and are  not routinely used as  working standards.  Each  contract laboratory is
 responsible for establishing its own specific standards traceability program.

 After  contract award,  the  Contractor is  required to  request  a  series of calibration  and QC
 solutions  from  the  EPA Repository.   In response, the EPA Repository supplies ampoules
 containing single or multiple analyte solutions.   All ampoules are labeled with a lot  number,
 date of preparation, component concentration(s), and solvent(s).   The Contractor retains the
 EPA Repository standards in such a manner as to preserve their  integrity.  At  present, storage
 at 4°C  is required.

 Contract laboratories prepare working standards from material  obtained from EPA  or  from
 commercial  sources.  Laboratory working standards  are not  provided by the EPA  Repository.
 Whenever new laboratory working standards  (calibration or QC solutions)  are prepared, the
 Contractor demonstrates  equivalence of  each batch  of  standards by  providing  traceability
 directly to a dilution of an  EPA Repository standard.  The  EPA Repository standard and the
 laboratory working standard  are analyzed by the conditions specified in the analytical Statement
 of Work.  Verification of traceability includes qualitative  and quantitative criteria, and specific
 requirements are system dependent (i.e. GC, GC/MS).

 To  demonstrate that the laboratory working  standards have not degraded  while in  use, the
 Contractor compares the working  standard concentration against EPA  Repository standards
 according to the traceability  requirements described in the Statement of Work.   If the laboratory
 working standard does  not  meet  the quantitative traceability requirements,  a new  working
 standard is prepared.

 Records and raw data for all standard solution traceability verification include signed and dated
 logbooks with sufficient information to trace the analysis  of  a  sample, or analyte, to a specific
 pair of working and EPA  Repository standards.   Thus a standard chain-of-custody exists
 creating  documentation  that  verifies  the  acceptability   of  qualitative   and  quantitative
 determinations based on a specific standard lot.


                                  B.  Analytical Data Review
 Upon completion of analysis and data reporting, the contract laboratory simultaneously sends a
 copy of the complete data package to SMO, EMSL/LV and the Regional client.  Each of these
 groups performs complementary  aspects of data review. SMO CCS review identifies contractual
 discrepancies; EMSL/LV review  determines technical quality and consistency; and Regional data
 review relates usability of the data to a specific site.

 1.   Contract Compliance Screening

 CCS is one aspect of the Government's contractual right of inspection of analytical data.  CCS
 examines  the  Contractor's adherence to the contract requirements based on the sample data
 package delivered to the  Agency. CCS results are used in conjunction with other information
 to   measure  overall  contractor  performance  and  to  take  appropriate  actions  to  correct
 deficiencies in performance.

 Upon receipt, SMO  screens every RAS CLP-generated data package on a fast-turnaround basis.
 To  ensure a uniform review, a set of standardized procedures have been developed to evaluate
 the sample data package against the technical and completeness  requirements  of the contract.
 The following key areas are reviewed for compliance with the contract: holding times, GC/MS
 tunes,  initial  and continuing calibrations,  blanks,  surrogate recoveries, and matrix spikes and
 matrix spike duplicates.

 CCS results are distributed to the Contractor and all other data recipients.  If any  problems with
 the data package are identified, the  Contractor has a period of time to correct  the deficiencies,
 send all corrections to SMO,  EMSL/LV  and  the Regional client, and include  the  corrected
 resubmittals in the purge of their Case files.

 2.    EMSL/LV Data Review

 Periodically, EMSL/LV  performs a  comprehensive QA audit on  a subset of CLP sample data
 packages  using a Mil. Standard 105D approach.  EMSL/LV also  provides data audits and data
 evaluation,  and participates in special projects  (e.g.,  Dioxin Incineration  Study, Love Canal
 Habitability Study)  and  special  requests  such  as  enforcement  support, and  preparation  and
 evaluation of data review SOPs.

 In addition, EMSL/LV and the  NPO manage  the program's QA  and Results  Database.  This
 database includes  spike  recoveries, blanks, duplicates,  tuning, calibration,  method of standard
 additions, ICP check, and analytical results. These data are statistically evaluated and utilized
 to  determine  and update contract  QC  acceptance windows for  CLP-generated data  and  to
 characterize laboratory, method and program performance.

 3.    Regional  Data Review

 Contract laboratory  data  are generated to  meet  the specific needs of the Regional client.   In
 order to verify the usability of data for the intended purpose, each  Region reviews data from
 the perspective of end-user based  upon functional aspects of data quality.  As  the  bases for
 data evaluation, the Region uses general guidelines for data  review that have  been developed
 jointly  by the Region  and the NPO.   Individual  Regions may augment  the basic  guideline
 review process with  additional review based on Region-specific or site-specific concerns.
                                            67

CLP User's Guide                                                              Chapter 6

                     C.  Quarterly Blind Performance Evaluation Samples
 As a means of measuring contractor and method performance, contract laboratories participate
 in interlaboratory comparison studies conducted by  the Agency.  Results  from the analysis of
 PE  samples are used by  the  Agency to verify the  contractors'  continuing  ability to  produce
 acceptable  analytical data.  The results are  also used  to assess the precision and accuracy of the
 analytical methods for specific analytes.

 Sample sets may be provided to  participating laboratories on a quarterly  basis as  either single
 blind (recognizable as PE  material  and  of unknown  composition)  or double blind (not
 recognizable as PE  material and of unknown composition) samples.  Contractors are required to
 analyze  the samples and return the data package and all  raw data within  the contract  required
 turnaround time.

 At a minimum, the  results are evaluated for compound identification, quantitation, and sample
 contamination.  Confidence intervals for  the  quantitation  of  target compounds  are  based on
 reported values using population statistics.   Contractors are  required to use the NBS  Mass
 Spectral  Library to  tentatively identify a maximum number of non-target compounds in each
 fraction  that   are  present  above  a  minimal  response.   Tentative  identification  of  these
 compounds, based on contractually described spectral interpretation procedures,  is evaluated and
 integrated  into the evaluation process.

 If a Contractor performs unacceptably, the  PO or DPO  will  notify the Contractor concerning
 the remedy for their unacceptable  performance.  A Contractor may expect, but the Agency is
 not limited to, the following actions:   reduction  of the number  of  samples sent under the
 contract, suspension of sample shipment to the Contractor, a site visit, a full data audit, and/or
 analysis of remedial PE samples.
                                   D. GC/MS Tape Audits


 In order to accomplish tape audits, the Agency periodically requests the GC/MS magnetic tapes
 corresponding to a specific  Case.  Generally, tape submissions and audits are requested for  the
 following reasons:   program overview,  indication of data quality  problems from EMSL/LV,
 SMO or Regional data reviews, support for onsite audits, and specific Regional requests.

 Depending upon the reason for an audit,  the tapes from  a  recent  Case, a specific Case, or a
 performance  sample may be requested.  Tape audits  provide a mechanism to assess adherence to
 contractual  requirements  and  to ensure  the  consistency  of data  reported  on  the  hard
 copy/floppy  diskettes with  the  data  generated on the GC/MS tapes.   This  function provides
 external  monitoring of  program QC  requirements and checks contractor adherence to internal
 QA  procedures.  In addition, tape audits enable the Agency to evaluate the utility,  precision,
 and  accuracy of the analytical methods.
                                            68

-------
Program Quality Assurance                                                 December 1988

 The GC/MS tape includes raw data and quantitation reports for samples, blanks, matrix spikes,
 matrix spike  duplicates,  initial calibrations, continuing calibration, BFB and DFTPP associated
 with the requested Case.  In order to reference raw data to the delivered hard copy, the GC/MS
 tape submission  also  includes  user-generated  spectral libraries,  extraction  laboratory  bench
 sheets, analysts' laboratory notebook pages, and  instrumental reference logbook pages associating
 the tape files to the raw  data files.


                               £.  Onsite Laboratory Evaluations
 At  a  frequency  dictated by a  contract laboratory's  performance, the PO  or an  authorized
 representative conducts an  onsite  laboratory evaluation in order to monitor the Contractor's
 ability to meet contract terms and conditions.  The evaluation process incorporates two separate
 categories,  a QA evaluation  and an evidentiary audit.

 1.  Quality Assurance Onsite Evaluation

 QA  evaluators  inspect  contractor  facilities  to  verify  the  adequacy  and  maintenance  of
 instrumentation, the continuity of  personnel meeting training requirements, and the acceptable
 performance  of analytical and QC procedures.  Items that are evaluated  include,  but are not
 limited to,  the following:

     o   Size and appearance of the facility.
     o   Quantity, age, availability, scheduled maintenance and performance of instrumentation.
     o   Availability, appropriateness, and utilization of SOPs.
     o   Staff qualifications, experience, and personnel training programs.
     o   Reagent, standards, and sample storage facilities.
     o   Standard preparation and traceability logbooks and raw data.
     o   Bench sheets and analytical logbook maintenance  and review.

 Prior  to an onsite evaluation, various documentation pertaining to performance of the specific
 contractor  is integrated in a profile  package for discussion during  the evaluation.  Items  that
 may be included are previous onsite  reports, PE scores, Regional  review of data, Regional QA
 materials, GC/MS tape audit reports,  CCS results, and data trend reports.

 2.  Evidentiary Audit

 Evidence auditors conduct  an onsite  laboratory evaluation  to  determine  if laboratory policies
 and procedures are in place  to satisfy  evidence handling requirements as stated in  the Statement
 of Work.  The  evidentiary audit is comprised of the following  three activities:  the procedureal
 audit,  the  written SOPs  audit, and  the analytical project file audit.   The  procedural audit
 consists of  review and examination of actual standard operating procedures and accompanying
 documentation.  The written  SOPs audit determines accuracy and completeness of the written
 SOPs.   The procedural and written  SOPs  audits  are  conducted  for the  following laboratory
 operations:   sample  receiving, sample storage, sample  identification,  sample  security,  sample
                                            69

-------
CLP User's Guide                                                               Chapter 6

 tracking  (from receipt to completion  of analysis)  and analytical project file organization  and
 assembly. The analytical project file evidence audit consists  of review and examination of the
 analytical project file documentation.  The auditors review the files to determine the accuracy
 of the document inventory, the completeness of the file, the  adequacy and  accuracy of the
 document numbering system,  traceability of sample activity,  identification of activity recorded
 on the documents, and error correction methods.

 3.   Discussion of the Onsite Team's Findings and Corrective  Action Reports

 The QA  and evidence auditors discuss their findings with the PO/DPO prior to debriefing the
 Contractor.  During the debriefing, the auditors present their  findings and recommendations for
 corrective actions necessary  to the contractor personnel.

 Following the evaluation, QA and evidentiary audit reports  which  discuss deficiencies found
 during the onsite are forwarded to the Contractor.  The Contractor must discuss the corrective
 actions taken  to  resolve the  deficiencies  discussed during the onsite  visit  and in  the onsite
 reports in a  letter to the PO,  DPO, EMSL/LV (response to the QA report) and NEIC (response
 to  the evidentiary report) within a specified length of time.  If SOPs are required  to  be written
 or  amended, the Contractor  must provide the SOPs to the DPO, EMSL/LV (QA/technical SOPs)
 and NEIC (evidentiary SOPs).

 If  the Contractor fails  to  take appropriate corrective action  to  resolve the  deficiencies,  a
 Contractor may expect, but the Agency is not limited to, the  following actions:  reduction of
 the number  of samples sent  under the contract, suspension of  sample  shipment to  the
 contractor, a follow-up site  visit, a full data audit, and/or analysis of remedial PE samples.
                        F.  Quality Assurance and Data Trend Analysis
 The  QC  prescribed in the analytical  methods provides information that is continually  used by
 the Agency  to  assess sample, contractor and  program  data  quality  via  data trend  analysis.
 Statistical reports that evaluate specific anomalies or disclose trends in many areas are generated
 from a  computerized  database.    These  areas  include   surrogate  spike  recovery,  matrix
 spike/duplicate spike recovery, method blanks,  GC/MS tuning and mass calibration, initial and
 continuing calibration data, and other QC and method parameters.

 Program-wide statistical results are used to rank laboratories  in order to observe the relative
 performance of  each contractor in  a  given protocol  against its  peers.  The  reports are also used
 to identify trends within laboratories. The results of many of these trend analyses are included
 in overall evaluation of a contractor's performance,  and are  reviewed to determine if corrective
 action or an onsite laboratory evaluation is indicated in order to meet the QA/QC requirements
 of the contract.

 Contractor performance over  time  is monitored using these trend analysis techniques to detect
 departures  of contractor output from required  or desired QC  levels,  and to provide an  early
 warning  of contractor QA/QC problems which may not be apparent from the results of an
 individual Case.
                                            70

Program Quality Assurance                                                December 1988

 As a further benefit to the CLP, the database provides the information needed  to establish
 performance-based criteria in updated analytical protocols.  The empirical data set produced by
 contract laboratories is carefully analyzed with the results augmenting  theoretical and research-
 based performance  criteria.  The result is a continuously monitored set of QC and performance
 criteria specifications of what is routinely achievable and expected of environmental chemistry
 laboratories in mass production analysis of environmental samples.  These specifications assist
 the Agency in meeting its objectives of obtaining data of known and documented quality.

Under QNT Y/N: enter Y if quantitation was performed, N if not performed,
%D must be less than or equal to 15.0% for quantitation, and less than
or equal to 20.0% for confirmation.

Note:  Determining that no compounds were found above the CRQL is a form of
quantitation, and therefore at least one column must meet the 15.0% criteria.

For multicomponent analytes, the single largest peak that is characteristic
of the component should be used to establish retention time and %D.
Identification of such analytes is based primarily on pattern recognition.

Notes:

1.    When an analytical spike or MSA is performed on samples other than field samples, the
     "A", "0", "1", "2" or "3" suffixes must be the last to be added to the EPA Sample Number.
     For instance, an analytical spike of a duplicate must be formatted "XXXXXXDA."
2.    The numeric suffix that follows the "S" suffix for the standards indicates the true value  of
     the concentration of the standard in ug/L.

3.    ICP calibration standards  usually consist of several analytes at different concentrations.
     Therefore, no numeric suffix can follow the ICP calibration standards unless all the
     analytes in the standard are prepared at the same concentrations.  For instance, the blank
     for ICP must be formatted "SO."

4.    The CRDL standard for AA is considered to be a calibration standard if it was a part of
     the calibration curve, thus it must be formatted like any other standard.  The "CRA"
     format  must be used if the CRDL standard for AA is not used  to establish the calibration
     curve.

F.    Results of Intercomparison/Performance Evaluation Sample Analyses

      Tabulation  of  analytical  results for  Intercomparison/PE  Sample  analyses  include  all
      requirements specified in Items D and E.


G.    Complete Case File Puree

      The complete case file purge includes all laboratory records received or generated for a
      specific  Case that have  not been previously  submitted  to EPA as a deliverable.   These
      items  include  but  are not limited  to:   sample tags,  custody records,  sample tracking
      records,  analysts  logbook  pages, bench  sheets,  instrument readout records, computer
      printouts,   raw  data  summaries,  instrument  logbook   pages   (including  instrument
      conditions), correspondence, and the document inventory.

I.     Quarterly Verification of Instrument Parameters

      The contract laboratory  must  perform and  report quarterly verification  of instrument
      detection limits and  linear range by methods specified in the  SOW for each instrument
      used.  For the ICP instrumentation and methods, the contract laboratory must also  report
      quarterly  interelement   correction   factors  (including   method  of   determination),
      wavelengths used and integration times.  Quarterly Verification of Instrument Parameters
      forms for the current quarter must be submitted in each SPG data package, using  Forms
      X, XI and XII.  Submission  of Quarterly Verification of  Instrument Parameters must
      include the raw data  used to determine those values reported.

A.   TCDD REPORT FORM (Form B-l)

     This form Is used for tabulating and reporting case  results.

     Complete the header information at the top of the page  including instru-
ment ID, laboratory name, case/batch number, report date, and column used.

     EPA sample number is tabulated along with date sample was extracted, and
weight (wet) extracted to the nearest tenth (0.1) of a gram  or volume extracted
(water) to the nearest 10 milliliters.

     Calculate the concentration of 2,3,7,3-TCDD using the formula:

                      Ax • QlS
            cx  =  	
                    Als  . RRFn  . W

            Cx  =  2,3,7,8-TCDD concentration in ug/kg or ug/L

            Ax  =  the sum of integrated ion abundance detected for m/z 320
                   and 322

           A£S  =  the sum of integrated ion abundances detected for m/z 332
                   and 334 (characteristic ions of 13C12~2,3,7,8-TCDD the
                   internal standard).

           Qis  =  quantity (in ng) of 13C12-2,3,7,8-TCDD added to''the sample
                   before extraction
RRFn  =  calculated me
         relative to
                               lean response  factor for unlabeled 2,3,7,8-TCDD
                               13C,7-2,3,7,8-TCDD
             W  =  The weight (in g) of soil/sediment extracted or volume of
                   water extracted (in mL)

     Positive samples are quantitated with values >10.0 ug/kg or 100 ng/L
     recorded to three (3) significant figures and those values <10.0 ug/kg or
     100 ng/L reported to two (2) significant figures.

     For samples in which unlabeled 2,3,7,8-TCDD was not detected calculate
the estimated maximum possible concentration, which is the concentration
required to produce a signal with a peak height of 2.5 times the backgrounc".
signal height.

     Use the formula:

                 2.5 .  IIX . Qis
         MPC  =  	
                 Hls .  RRFn .  W
     where:  MPC  =  maximum possible ccmcenlrat ion of unlabeled 2 , 3 , / , S-'l'O
                     required lo produce? llx.

-------
       Hx  =  peak height for m/z 320 or 322 in the same group
              of >5 scans used to measure Als.

      His  =  peak height for the appropriate ion characteristic of the
              internal standard, m/z 332 when 320 is used to determine Ax,
              and m/z 334 when 322 is used to determine Ax.

      Qls  =  quantity (in ng) of 13C12~2,3,7,8-TCDD added to the
              sample before extraction.

     RRFn  =  calculated mean response factor for unlabeled  2,3,7,8-TCDD
              relative to 13C12~2,3,7,8-TCDD.

        W  =   weight (in g) of wet soil/sediment sample or  volume of water
              extracted (in mL).

Report GC/MS Instrument ID, the date and time the analysis was performed,
and the signal to noise ratio for the surrogate compound.
