This is the last WS study to be provided by the USEPA; consult your state or
regional WS coordinator for direction regarding future WS studies.
Enclosed are the WS041 samples requested for you by your USEPA or state
coordinator. Analyze all appropriate samples using your routine analytical methods.
Follow carefully the instructions for each type of sample and the General -Instructions
for Reporting Results. Results are to be reported in terms of single analyses on the
diluted, full-volume samples. Note especially that if you wish to be evaluated for the
analyte "Total Trihalomethanes," you must now sum the individual trihalomethanes and
report your total in the space indicated on the data reporting form. Analytes not '
currently regulated by the Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water (OGWDW) are not
intended for official certification at this time.
Analyses for this study must be completed and received in Cincinnati no later
than August 10, 1998. Results received after this date may not be evaluated by NERL.
PLEASE NOTE POLICY FOR RETURNING STUDY RESULTS. MAKE AS MANY COPIES OF THE REPORT FORM
AS YOU NEED, ONE FOR YOUR RECORDS, ONE FOR ANY COORDINATOR WITH AN INTEREST IN YOUR
PERFORMANCE (SEE ATTACHED LIST)* AND RETURN THE ORIGINAL TO:

FACSIMILIE COPIES OF DATA REPORT FORMS WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTED. IF YOU DON'T HAVE
TIME FOR US MAIL SHIPMENT. SEND YOUR DATA VIA OVERNIGHT EXPRESS SERVICE.
* Check with your regional/state coordinator to determine if they want a copy of
this data for later follow-up on your performance, e.g., certification, etc. It
is your responsibility to provide this information to them. Any response for
corrective actions should be directed to your certification officers, NOT NERL.

If there are technical questions or problems, contact your state or :
regional coordinator (see attached list) . To order replacement samples, do not
contact your state or regional coordinator, but submit the attached request form
as directed.
As usual with recent WS studies, WS041 includes samples containing
regulated and unregulated analytes. Generally, analyses for the regulated
analytes will be considered for official drinking water laboratory certification,
while analyses for the unregulated analytes are only for mutual information.
Note that barium is not present in dissolved form in the WS041 trace metals
ampul. Please contact the coordinator of each certification office you are
involved with to verify their policy regarding the necessity of you analyzing for
any specific analyte. Data reported for the low-level turbidity samples will not
appear in the individual laboratory PE reports, but will be summarized in a
separate memorandum to be available upon your request from regional and state
coordinators after the study.
As a participant in WS041-, you are herein provided sample concentrates for
one or more of the following nine sets:

PLEASE NOTE THAT MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED AT THE END
OP THE SET OF INDIVIDUAL SAMPLE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL CHEMICALS
PRESENT AT CONCENTRATIONS COVERED UNDER THE HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD OF THE
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT.
Three VOC samples were prepared for this study. VOC Sample 1 contains all
twenty-one regulated VOCs: trichloroethylene, carbon.tetrachloride,. 1,1,1- *
trichloroethane, 1, 2-dichloroethane, vinyl chloride, benzene, 1,1-
dichloroethylene, dichloromethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,4-dichlorobenzene,
1,2-dichlorobenzene, cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, 1,2-
dichloropropane, ethylbenzene, chlorobenzene, styrene, tetrachloroethylene,
toluene, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and xylene (total). VOC Sample 2 contains some
of the unregulated VOCs listed on page 25710 of the Federal Register of July 8,
1987. This second sample is a greater challenge since the analyst is not
informed of the number of compounds present, their identities or concentrations.
If you report any results for VOC Sample 2, you must report results for every VOC
that is present in that sample. VOC Sample 3 contains the regulated VOC's EDB
and DBCP, and must be analyzed by Method 504.1 OR 551. Report just the EDB and
the DBCP found in this ampul.
-------
Data for unregulated analytes and the low-level turbidity sample are needed to
support the development of proposed federal regulations. These analytes are not
intended for immediate certification, but may be considered as a basis for
certification when an analyte becomes regulated. Check with your state agency
regarding their policy on certification for these analytes.
Methods for all analytes are listed in the General Instructions for Reporting
Results included in these instructions. REMEMBER1 Analyses for certification MUST;be
done by an officially approved method. If copies of USEPA methods are needed, complete
the appropriate order form (see enclosures) and mail as indicated. USE ONLY THE ORDER
FORM ENCLOSED WITH THIS MEMORANDUM. If there are any questions about the approval
status of a method, contact your USEPA or state coordinator before using the method for
any official analyses.
Please note enclosed addendum sheet for methods in "Methods for Determination or
Organic Compounds in Drinking Water - Supplement II."
A standardized set of instructions covering all analytes is enclosed. It is the
analyst's responsibility to separate out the appropriate sample concentrates and
instructions for the analytes to be tested. Unneeded sample concentrates should be
disposed of properly (see enclosed "Ampul Disposal Information"), or reserved for later
use as internal quality control samples. For those interested in use of the
concentrates as quality control samples, a list of true values and limits may be
obtained from the technical contact listed previously or (through a communicating
personal computer [PC]) from the USEPA Office of Research and Development Electronic
Bulletin Board System after study results have been sent to participants. See
attachment from Randy Revetta regarding access to this system.
Quality Assurance Coordinators will be notified of any schedule changes. This
information will also be available on the ORD Bulletin Board.
Generally, a separate sample is prepared from each concentrate as directed in the
specific instructions for each group. Report results for as many of the analytes as
your laboratory wishes evaluation or as directed by the responsible USEPA or state
official.
Our policy is to carry all study limits to three figures. Since there are
variable effects of rounding-off on the acceptability of results if reported to only
two figures, we recommend that results be reported to three figures whenever possible.
We do not require copies of the background information that relates to the
analytical runs from which your study data were developed. However, you should retain
this information, for example, results of related QA/QC activities, records of related
analytical output, etc., in your files for use during your own follow-up investigation
on the cause of any unacceptable data.

ADDENDUM
The following sections will replace Section 14.2 and Section 15 in all
methods published in the EPA/6--/R-92/129 methods manual entitled, "Methods for
the Determination of Organic Compounds in Drinking Water - Supplement II."
14.2 For information about pollution prevention that may be applicable to
laboratory operations, consult "Less is Better: Laboratory Chemical
Management for Waste Reduction" available from the American Chemical
Society's Department of Government Relations and Science Policy, 1155 ISth
Street N.W., Washington, DC 20036.
15. MANAGEMENT
15.1 It is the laboratory's responsibility to comply with all federal, state, and
local regulations governing the 'waste management, particularly the hazardous
waste identification rules and land disposal restrictions. It is also the
laboratory's responsibility to protect the air, water, and land by
minimizing and controlling all releases from fume hoods and bench
operations. Compliance is also required with any sewage discharge permits
and regulations. For further information on waste management, consult "The
Waste Management Manual for Laboratory Personnel," also available from the
American Chemical Society at the address in Section 14.2
