Wesselman, Chief /£^~—UJ~ *~^~ National Water Quality Assurance Programs Branch Ecological Exposure Research Division 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: Natalie Murff, PE Studies ' National Water Quality Assurance Programs Branch • US Environmental Protection Agency, EBRD 26 West M.

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.

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: SET ANALYTE & AMPUL LABEL CONG.

' " . PAH ! VOC #3 3 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.
