General Reporting Instructions
IMPORTANT NOTE

Beginning with. WS  study  39,  the Office of Water Supply combined the  following
ampuls:

      •     Pesticide  ampul  1 now,  contains  all  11  analytes  that  were  in
            pesticide ampuls 1 and 4 during previous WS studies.

      •     Herbicides ampul 1 now contains all 8  analytes  that were previously
            in two ampuls.

      •     Volatile organic compounds  ampul 1  now contains all 21 analytes that
            were in VOC ampuls 1 and 2 during  previous WS  studies.

Three  optional  low-level turbidity  samples have  been added.   The  low-level
turbidity data will be evaluated in a separate memorandum report to be  available
from state/regional coordinators after the study, but will not be used to certify
laboratories.
                                                                  WS041

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

•     Treat each PE study sample the same  way you would treat a routine sample,
      i.e., usual analyst, usual analytical system, usual procedures, etc.

•     For  each  analyte you  report,  provide results of  a  single analysis, as
      would be done with a routine  sample.

•     To request replacements  for  broken ampuls,  FAX  your  request  to Terry
      Bundy,  ManTech  Environmental,  (919)  406-2246;  to  obtain  answers to
      questions, call your regional  or state coordinator  (see list  attached to
      your cover letter) .  YOU MUST  INCLUDE  THE US EPA ASSIGNED LAB  CODE ON ANY
      WRITTEN REQUEST FOR SAMPLES.

•     Read instructions carefully before  opening ampuls.

•     For  best  results,  ampul  solutions  and  reagent water  should  be at  room
      temperature  (near 20° Centigrade) when used.

•     Amber-colored ampuls should be stored away from light until  the analyst is
      ready to use them.

•     Cyanide ampuls  should  be stored away from ultraviolet radiation  (direct
      sunlight,  etc.)

•     Open  ampuls cautiously  to avoid  cuts or  flying  glass.   A  suggested
      procedure  is to wrap the ampul in cloth or a thick paper towel and  snap
      off the ampul top at the narrow part of the neck.

•     Unless otherwise stated, samples need not be filtered.

•     Use only Class A volumetrics.

•     "Reagent water"  is equivalent to Type II Reagent  Water as specified in
      ANSI/ASTM Standard D 1193-91.
                                                                        WS041

                                  TRACE METALS
       Two ampuls  containing reagent water solutions of  trace metals are
 provided.   Ampuls 1  and 2  contain 5% nitric acid (v/v)  solutions that are to
 be used to prepare two samples  for determination of the 15  metals listed in
 the table below.   As a result of  an ampul 1 batch production mishap,  a fine
 white precipitate of barium and lead sulfate is unfortunately present in ampul
'1 and should be excluded when removing the aliquot for  sample preparation.   If
 the ampul is mixed,  allow  the precipitate to settle for at  least 15 minutes
 before pipetting  from the  top  (supernatant)  portion of  the  ampul solution.
 Filtration is also an option.
                                MULTI-ELEMENTS

       To prepare  sample 1,  fill a 1-L volumetric flask  approximately 3/4 full
 with reagent water while 'waiting  for any stirred up solids  to settle to the
 bottom of ampul 1.  After  at least 15 minutes,  pipet 10.0 mL (which contains
 0.5 mL of concentrated nitric acid)  from the supernatant in ampul 1 and 1.0 mL
 of trace-metal-grade concentrated nitric acid into the  flask, dilute to volume
 with reagent water,  and mix well.   For sample 2, repeat the procedure using
 ampul 2.  The resulting samples contain 0.15% nitric acid and should be
 analyzed for the  following analytes in the stated concentrational ranges.

Notes:

•           Because  ICP  is expected  to be the only method approved for boron
            determinations in drinking water and our sample design may
            interfere with boron determinations with other techniques, ICP
            methods  should be used to determine boron.

•           Samples,  standards and reagent water blanks should all have the
            same acid matrix.  The solution resulting from the above dilution
            wilL contain 0.15% v/v nitric acid; additional or different acids
            may be used  as appropriate for analytical procedures or to match
            standards.

•           Because mercury is present as a mixture of organic and inorganic
            forms, samples containing mercury must be digested before
            analysis.

•           Chromium  should be determined only as  total chromium.  When
            chromium  is  analyzed with direct aspiration AA, use of an
            oxidizing air-acetylene  flame or (preferably) a nitrous oxide-
            acetylene flame may be necessary.

•           Analytes  will be present at concentrations quantifiable by any
            approved  method,  with the exception of direct flame atomic
            absorption,  whenever that is one of the approved methods. If you
            do not get a definitive  result using direct flame AA, you should
            follow with  one of the approved flameless AA or ICP procedures so
            you can report a definitive result for evaluation.

•           Report results to three  figures as micrograms per liter.
                         Ampuls  contain nitric  acid.

NOTES:
      Sealed ampuls were autoclaved to preserve solutions.  This preservation
      treatment is, however, not effective after the ampul is opened.
      Therefore, the sample should be analyzed as soon as possible after
      sample preparation following the preservation and holding times as
      specified in the method.

           ADIPATE,  PHTHALATE, AND  POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBON

      Two ampuls are provided;  one contains an acetone solution of di(2-
ethylhexyl)adipate and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, and the other contains an
acetone solution of benzo(a)pyrene.  If Method 525.2 is used, one sample can
be produced for determination of adipates, phthalates, and PAHs.
Alternatively, the adipate/
phthalate determination may be made using Method 505, and PAHs may be
determined using Method 550 (Determination of PAHs  in Drinking Water by HPLC
Liquid-Liquid Extraction) or Method 550.1 (Determination of PAHs in Drinking
Water by HPLC Liquid-Solid Extraction); in that case, two samples should be
prepared.
                                                                            If
      Place approximately 1 L of reagent water in a 2-L separatory funnel.
Methods 506, 550 or 550.1 are to be used, you MUST pipet 1.0 mL from the
adipate/phthalate ampul to produce the sample for adipate/phthalate analysis..
Mix well.  To produce a separate sample for the PAH analysis, repeat the same
sample preparation procedure using 1.0 mL from the PAH ampul.

        If Method 525.2 is to be used, you may produce and analyze separate
samples as for the other methods OR you MAY produce a single sample for
combined analysis by adding a 1.0-mL aliquot from both ampuls to the same 1L
of reagent water.
NOTES:
      For  calculations,  assume  a  sample volume  of  1000 mL.

                             LOW-LEVEL TURBIDITY (OPTIONAL)

      The Microbial and Disinfectant/Disinfection By-products Advisory Committee has
recommended that water suppliers serving more than 10,000 people, who  use conventional
treatment with filtration (or direct filtration) on a surface water source, be required
to measure turbidity every 4 hours and that at least 95 percent of these measurements
each month be less than or equal to 0.3 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU).   WS
studies prior to WS040 had used turbidity samples below 0.5 NTU only a few times and
have never used samples below 0.35 NTU.  However, the statistics from the available
low-level turbidity data, obtained from analyses of samples prepared from formazin,
suggest some high bias and a relative standard deviation around 16 to 20 percent.  The
purpose of this data collection effort is to estimate the statistics of state-of-the-
art measurement of turbidity at concentrations below 0.5 NTU in those facilities that
might be effected by the proposed regulation.

      If your facility might have to make turbidity measurements as a result of the
proposed regulation, please follow the sample preparation directions given below and
measure the samples using your routine turbidity method(s).  The data you report for
Samples 2, 3 and 4 will NOT be included in the performance evaluation report you and
certification authorities will receive at the end of the study, so it cannot be
considered when drinking water laboratory certification decisions are made.  However,
these data will be summarized and reported in a separate memorandum report, without
facility identification, a copy of which you may request from your state or regional WS
coordinator after the study.

SAMPLE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

      To prepare turbidity Sample 2, fill a clean 2L volumetric flask approximately 3/4
full with ultra-low turbidity water  (turbidity <0.03 NTU),  pipet 5.-0 mL of the

      to contaminate the sample.

      Rinse the sample cell at least two times with sample.

      Fill the sample cell with sample.  Cap the sample cell.

      Prepare the sample cell for measurement and place it in the turbidimeter.  This
      may include oiling (applying a thin film of silicon oil and wiping with a soft
      cloth to obtain an even film) the entire outside of the cell, and placing the
      cell in the instrument at index.

      Record the stable value of the sample between 5 and 10 minutes after it is placed
      in the instrument.
NOTES:
      Calibrate your instrument and clean everything that will contact the sample, as
      directed by the instrument manufacturer.

      Whenever possible, report results to the nearest 0.001 NTU.

      One ampul containing a methanol solution of 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-p-
dibenzodioxin  (TCDD) is provided.  Add approximately 1 L of  reagent  water to a
2-L separatory funnel, then add 50 /zL of the concentrate'in  the  ampul  to  the
separatory funnel and mix well.
NOTES:
      Report the measured 2, 3,7,8-TCDD concentration  to  three  figures  in
      picograms per liter.

      Analyze the sample using USEPA Method 1613,  "Tetra-  through
      Octachlorinated Dioxins and Furans by Isotope Dilution HRGC/HRMS,"
      Revision A, April 1990.

      Because only 2,3,7,8-TCDD is to be determined,  the only  compounds  that
      are necessary for calibration are 2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD,  13C12-2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD,  37C14-
      2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD, and 13C12-1, 2 , 3, 4-TCDD,  and only ions specified for these
      compounds need be monitored during data  acquisition.

      Because drinking water samples are relatively free from  interferences,
      the optional clean-up steps listed in the method should  not be needed.

      For calculations, assume a sample volume of  1000 mL.

      One ampul containing chrysotile asbestos fibers in water is provided.
All water used for dilution and washing glassware must be freshly-distilled
water from a glass still.  Whenever possible, glass containers should be used.
The importance of absolute cleanliness during sample preparation cannot be
over-emphasized, and every effort must be made to exclude bacteria, molds, and
their products.

Approximately one (1) hour before beginning analysis:

1.    Vigorously shake, the ampul for approximately 15 sec.

2.    Place the ampul in an ultrasonic bath for at least 30 min.

3.    Shake the ampul again for '15 sec.

4.    Place the ampul in the ultrasonic bath for another 30 min. and continue
      to sonicate the ampul until it is opened.

5.    Place 100 mL of freshly-distilled water into a very clean 500-mL glass
      bottle with a screw cap.  Precautions should be taken to ensure that no
      organic materials of bacterial origin remain in the bottle from any
      previous use or from washing with unsterile water.

6.    Break the ampul at the pre-scored neck and complete sample preparation
      as rapidly as possible.

7.    Pipet 15 mL from the ampul into the glass bottle containing the 100 mL
      distilled water, and dilute to 500 mL with freshly-distilled water.

9.    Shake the bottle vigorously for 15 sec.

10.   Adjust the pH of the suspension to between 3 and 4 with glacial acetic
      acid.  The acid is most conveniently added using a microliter pipet and
      non-bleeding pH indicator strips to determine the pH.  After each
      addition of acetic acid,  shake the suspension vigorously before checking
      the pH.

11.   Place the bottle in an ultrasonic bath for at least 30 min.

12.   Shake the bottle vigorously before removing any aliquot from the
      suspension.

13.   To-avo,id loss  of" fibers settling on tapered funnel sides,  use a
      filtration apparatus with straight vertical sides.
                                                                        WS041

14.   Only 0.1-/itn pore size polycarbonate filter membranes or 0.1 - 0.22 /zm
      celulose mixed ester membranes  (MCE) should be used.  Filters should be
      taken from a lot which has been pre-screened for background
      contamination.  This is particularly important if <10-p6m fibers are to
      be counted.   The filter should be backed by a <.5-iJ,m pore size MCE  (mixed
      cellulose ester.), membrane filter to diffuse the vacuum across the-
      membrane.
NOTES:
      Analyze the sample with "Analytical Method for Determination of Asbestos
      Fibers in Water", 40 CFR Parts 141,'142, and 143 p. 3582, Wednesday,
      January 30, 1991.

      An analytical sensitivity of 200,000 fibers per liter  (0.2 MFL) is
      required subject to the following analysis termination rules:

      o-     Analysis may be terminated either at completion of the grid
            opening during which an analytical sensitivity of 0.2 MFL is
            achieved or the grid opening that contains the 100th asbestos
            fiber over 10 pm in length, whichever occurs  first.

      o     A minimum of four grid openings must be counted, even if this
            results in counting more than 100 asbestos fibers over 10 jttm in
            length.

      o     The grid openings examined should be drawn about equally from a
            minimum of three specimen grids.

      Counting rules:

      o     Count fibers with an aspect ratio of _>3:1.

      o     Count a fiber bundle as a single fiber with width equal to an
            estimate of the mean bundle width and length  equal to the maximum
            length.

      o     Count individual asbestos fibers and bundles  within clusters and
            matrices, as long as they meet the above .definitions of fibers and
            bundles.

      o     Fibers that intersect the top and left sides  of  the grid opening
            are counted and recorded as twice their visible  length.  Fibers
            intersecting the bottom and right sides of the grid opening are
            not recorded.

      o     Count only one end of each fiber to avoid possibly counting a
            fiber more than once.
                                                                        WS041

Fiber identification criteria:

o     Each fiber suspected to be chrysotile must first be examined by
      electron diffraction (ED) following the procedure in Figure 15 of
      the method.   If the characteristic ED pattern is observed,  the
      fiber shall be classified as CD.  If no pattern is observed or the
      pattern is not distinctive, the fiber shall be examined by EDXA
      (energy dispersive x-ray analysis) and classified according to the
      method.  Only chrysotile fibers classified as CD, CMQ or CDQ
      should be included in the calculation of the concentration.

o     Each fiber suspected to be amphibole must first be examined by
      electron diffraction following the procedure in Figure 18 of the
      method.  Each fiber must then be examined by EDXA.  If a random
      orientation electron diffraction pattern showing a 0.53-nm layer
      spacing is obtained and the elements and peak areas of the EDXA
      spectrum correspond to those of a known amphibole asbestos, the
      fiber shall be classified as ADQ.  If the random orientation
      electron diffraction pattern cannot be obtained, is incomplete, or
      is not recognizable as a non-amphibole pattern but the elements
      and the peak areas of the "EDXA" spectrum correspond to those of a
      known amphibole asbestos, the fiber shall be classified as "AQ".
      Only amphibole fibers classified as "ADQ", "AQ", "AZQ",  "AZZQ" or
      identified by zone axis electron diffraction pattern, should be
      included in the calculation of the concentration.

A calibrated magnification of at least 10,OOOX ± 5% is adequate for
counting fibers over 10 /xm in length.  A minimum 250-nm spot size is
adequate for this analysis.

The mass concentration of asbestos is not needed.

Calculation of results.  The concentration of asbestos in a given sample
is calculated using the following formula:

                     no str x efa
                  GO x GOA x V x 1000

where
     no str =     number of asbestos fibers counted

      efa = effective filter area of the sampling filter in square
            millimeters
                                                                  WS041

       Carcinogenic Data

       Acetone is not listed as a carcinogen by 1ARC, NTP, OSHA or ACCIH.

       Primary Routes of Entry

       Acetone may exert its effects through inhalation, skin absorption, and ingestion.

       Industrial  Exposure;  Route of Exposure/Signs and Symptoms

       Inhalation:     •         Exposure can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, headache,
                               nausea, dizziness and narcosis.

       Eye Contact:            Liquid and high vapor concentration can cause irritation.

       Skin Contact:           Prolonged or  repeated  skin  contact  can  cause irritation
                               and dermatitis through defatting of skin.

       Ingestion:               Symptom information  is inadequate/unknown.

       Effects of Overexposure

       Acetone  is a mild  eye and mucous  membrane  irritant, primary skin irritant,  and
       central nervous  system depressant.  Acute  exposure irritates  th« eyes  and  upper
       respiratory tract. Direct skin contact produces dermatitis,  characterized by dryness
       and erythema.  High concentrations produce narcosis and hypoglycemia.

       Medical Condition Aggravated by Exposure

       Preclude  from exposure those individuals susceptible to dermatitis.

-------
      Emergency First Aid

      Inhalation:              Immediately remove to fresh air. If not breathing, administer
                              mouth-to-mouth  rescue breathing.  If there  is  no  pulse
                              administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation  (CPR).  Contact
                              physician immediately.

      Eye Contact:            Rinse with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.
                              Get emergency medical  assistance.

      Skin Contact:           Flush thoroughly for at' least *15  minutes.  Wash  affected
                              skin  with soap and water.  Remove contaminated clothing
                              and  shoes.  Wash  clothing before   re-use,  and  discard
                              contaminated shoes. Get emergency medical assistance.

      Ingestion:               Call  local  Poison Control  Center for assistance.  Contact
                              physician  immediately.   Never induce  vomiting  or  give
                              anything  by mouth  to  a  victim  unconscious  or  having
                              convulsions.
VI.     Safety Measures and Equipment
       Ventilation:             Adequate ventilation is  required  to protect personnel from
                              exposure  to chemical  vapors  exceeding the  PEL  and  to
                              minimize fire hazards.  The choice of ventilation equipment,
                              either local  or general,  will  depend on  the  conditions  of
                              use, quantity of material, and other operating parameters.

       Respiratory:            Use approved  respirator  equipment.   Follow NIOSH  and
                              equipment  manufacturer's  recommendations  to  determine
                              appropriate  equipment   (air-purifying,  air-supplied,   or
                              self-contained breathing apparatus).

       Eyes:                   Safety glasses  are considered minimum  protection.  Goggles
                              or  face  shield may be  necessary  depending on  quantity
                              of material and conditions of use.

       Skin:                   Protective  gloves  and  clothing  are  recommended.  The
                              choice  of material  must be  based on  chemical  resistance
                              and other user requirements.   Generally, neoprene or  rubber
                              offers  acceptable  chemical   resistance.  Individuals  who
                              are acutely and specifically sensitive to  acetone may require
                              additional protective equipment.

       Storage:                Acetone  should be  protected  from temperature extremes
                              and direct sunlight.   Proper  storage of acetone  must  be
                              determined based on other materials stored and their hazards
                              and potential chemical incompatibility.  In general, acetone
                              should  be stored  in an  acceptably  protected and  secure
                              flammable liquid storage room.

-------
      Other:
                       Emergency  eye  wash fountains  and safety  showers should
                       be available In the vicinity of any potential exposure.  Ground
                       and bond metal containers to minimize static sparks.

               GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS  FOR  REPORTING  RESULTS
REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS

«  Your seven-character EPA lab identification code is shown on the label
   affixed to page 1 of the data reporting form.  This is a permanent
   number that was assigned by the USEPA the first time your lab
   participated in a performance evaluation study and must be entered at
   the top of each page of the data report form.  Make any necessary
   changes to the name/address information on the label.

•  Along with each analytical result, report the two-digit code for the
   analytical method used to obtain that result in the column marked "MC"
   (see analyte/method list).  This is not an official list of approved
   methods; it is simply an attempt to facilitate your reporting of the
   method you used.  When code 99 is used to indicate that an "other"
   method was used, the method must be described briefly on a separate
   sheet attached to the report form.  Do not submit a written copy of an
   "other" method to EPA.  If an "other" atomic absorption method was
   used, indicate whether it involved air-acetylene, nitrous oxide-
   acetylene, platform, or non-platform use.

•  Type or clearly print analytical results in the column marked
   "Quantity" using specified units in the appropriate blocks (right
   justify results) on the forms provided.

•  Do not enter dashes or other characters in place of a value.  If an
   analyte is hot detected; either leave the appropriate reporting area
   blank or report your detection limit along with a less than  (<)
   symbol.  Do not use a less than or greater than  (>) symbol with a
   result unless it is unavoidable, for example, when reporting a detec-
   tion limit.

•  Report a decimal point in its own separate block.

•  Report all results to three figures.

•  Except for methods such as for trace metals analyses in which multiple
   aspirations or measurements are routinely used to determine a
   concentration, report results of a single determination, not an
   average of multiple determinations.

•  Data not reported according to instructions included in this package
   will not be evaluated.

•  Provide any notes or comments on a separate sheet of paper attached to
   the report form.
