Ground-Water Monitoring Strategy
Ground-water monitoring in the United States is in
the early stages of development and is hampered by
many problems, as has been pointed out in the Office of
Technology Assessment (OTA) report "Protecting the
Nation's Ground-Water from Contamination" and other
technical reports. At present, usable ground-water data
are limited and often not readily accessible; what does
exist is fragmented among the various Federal, state,
and local agencies directly or peripherally involved in
ground-water decision making. Other than the work
conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on the
quantity of natural ground-water contaminants, there
has been no concentrated effort at the Federal level to
assess the need for ground-water data or to plan for its
collection, analysis, and use. Such an effort needs to
focus on determining who needs the data, for what
purposes they are needed, and how accessible they are.
The Ground-Water Monitoring Strategy is the Agency's
first attempt to do this on any comprehensive scale for
an environmental issue.
-------
This strategy which has just been issued by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) provides a
cross-Agency analysis of the need for and use of
ground-water monitoring data. Within this approach,
individual programs focus on their program's specific
needs while the Ground-Water Monitoring Strategy
focuses on the interrelationships between programs
and the overall direction of the Agency's ground-water
monitoring effort.
Ground-water monitoring is viewed as a continuum of
activities ranging from defining background conditions,
to performance of waste treatment and storage facilities,
to defining the success of USEPA programs on protecting
the ground-water resources. These range of activities
are addressed through seven monitoring objectives.
1. Characterize the Nation's Ground-Water Resources;
2. Identify New Contamination Problems;
3. Assess Known Problems to Support Regulatory
Development and Standard Setting and Respond to
Site-Specific Problems;
4. Assure Compliance with Regulations;
5. Evaluate Program Effectiveness;
6. Improve Data Quality; and
7 Develop Ground-Water Data Management System.
The last two objectives play special cross cutting
roles. Without the appropriate level of data quality and
access to the data, the satisfactory implementation of
the other five objectives is difficult if not impossible. The
key word is "appropriate," because not all data needs
the same level of quality assurance (QA) and accessi-
bility, it depends on the intended use and user of the
data.
At the present time several activities are underway to
address the first five objectives. A Memorandum of
Understanding has been developed and is being imple-
mented between USEPA and the USGS related to
ground-water; several surveys and studies are under-
way or have been completed by USEPA to assess
ground-water problems such as leaking underground
storage tanks, nonhazardous waste landfills, pesticides,
inorganics and radionuclides in drinking water; and a
Hazardous Waste Ground-Water Task Force is reviewing
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
permit process in both commercial and on-site RCRA
facilities.
Two key activities are underway in the Agency to
address ground-water data quality and accessibility.
The Office of Research and Development (ORD) is
implementing Data Quality Objectives to specifically tie
data quality to its intended usage. The Off ice of Ground-
Water Protection and Office of Information Management
are conducting a Ground-Water Requirements analysis
to determine who needs the data, for what purpose are
the data needed, and how accessible are the data?
The Ground-Water Monitoring Strategy is broad in
scope and is focused on a five-year horizon. As these
specific activities are completed in FY86 and FY87, other
issues will be addressed in a systematic manner.

New Manual for the Analyses of Inorganic Constituents in Precipitation
A contract with Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS) of
Champaign, Illinois, has resulted in a chemical methods
manual, "Development of Standard Methods for the
Collection and Analysis of Precipitation," EPA/600/4-
86/024. The manual was prepared under the direction
of Mark Peden (ISWS) with John Pfaff as the project
officer. This manual includes procedures for conduc-
tance, pH, acidity, calcium, magnesium, potassium.
-------
sodium, chloride, fluoride, ammonium, nitrate, nitrate/
nitrite, orthophosphate, and sulfate. Precision and bias
data, sample handling information, preservation tech-
niques, and QA practice are included in each method.
Information on the availability of this manual, publica-
tion number EPA/600/4-86/024, may be obtained by
contacting ORD Publications, Center for Environmental
Research Information (CERI), USEPA, Cincinnati, Ohio

Biological Computer Programs
As a follow-up to the February, 1986, QA Newsletter,
32 individuals have downloaded programs from the
Bulletin Board and 30 requests were received for disk
copies of our various programs. Programs written by
some individuals/companies have also been received
by EMSL-Cincinnati. When evaluated, these will be
passed along to the user community via the EMSL-
Cincinnati Bulletin Board.
Presently, 37 statistical programs are available in
BASIC for immediate use. Ten other Fortran programs
dealing with toxicology are now being translated into
BASIC and should be completed about the first of July,
1986. This Bulletin Board is for the user community.
Please use it and pass along information.

Update of Chapter 8 of the USEPA Manual of Methods for Virology
Chapter 8, entitled "Method for Reduction ,of Cyto-
toxicity of Sample Concentrates," is the first replace-
ment chapter for the "USEPA Manual of Methods for
Virology." It consists of an improved procedure for
reducing sample-associated cytotoxicity in the recovery
of viruses from water environments found toxic to
mammalian cells used for virus assays.
This chapter has been typeset using a three-column
format which greatly reduces the number of pages
required; all re-issuances Will reflect this form.

Drinking Water Laboratory Certification Courses
In support of the Agency's QA program, EMSL-
Cincinnati held Drinking Water Laboratory Certification
courses for microbiology and chemistry during the
weeks of June 9 and June 16, respectively, at the
Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research
Center (AWBERC) in Cincinnati. Offered for Laboratory
Certification Officers from USEPA regions and the
states, both courses were filled to capacity. The topics
covered included the legislative mandate and develop-
ment of the certification program, current analytical
methodology and QA procedures, essential background
information, and procedures for on-site laboratory visits.

Automated Method for Measurement of
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBsJ by Level of Chlorination
EMSL-Cincinnati is assisting the Office of Emergency
and Remedial Response (OERR) with a six-laboratory
test of a new method (method 680) for determinations of
PCBs and chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides. Method
680 uses a mass spectrometer (MS) to detect sample
components as they elute from a fused silica capillary
column in a gas chromatograph (GC). For the six-
laboratory test, the MS is being operated in the standard'
full-range mass spectrum mode, but method 680 also
provides an optional selected ion monitoring mode for
added, sensitivity. Method 680 is designed for real-
world, highly-contaminated water and soil samples and
procedures are included for extraction and extract
preparation prior to separation, identification, and
measurement with GC/MS.
Method 680 incorporates a new approach to PCB
measurements. In most standard analytical methods,
PCBs are identified in terms of commercial Aroclor
mixtures which may contain as many as IOO individual
compounds. These methods are acceptable when
standard Aroclor patterns can be observed in environ-
mental samples. Unfortunately, standard Aroclor mix-
tures often become modified and mixed with other
electron capture-sensitive substances in the environ-
-------
ment. Aroclors are subject to modification by selective
degradation, dissolution, and irreversible adsorption of
some components. Mixing of different Aroclors leads to
unrecognizable patterns.
To obviate these problems, method 680 uses a special
calibration technique which allows the identification
and measurement of PCB components by level of
chlorination. Groups of components at each level of
chlorination are called isomer groups, and total PCBs
are measured by summing the quantities of isomer
groups. This method represents a reasonable com-
promise between the Aroclor mixture identification
approach, which is often impossible in real-world
samples, and identification and measurement of each
individual compound.
In the six-laboratory test of method 680, an optional
automated procedure is being used to identify PCBs by
level of chlorination, identify pesticides, and carry-out
all the calculations required to produce final results. The
automated procedure is contained in a set of computer
programs (software) developed by EMSL-Cincinnati.
These programs execute on the same computer used for
the GC/MS data acquisition and their use substantially
reduces the time and effort required to obtain the final
results. Accuracy and precision of the identifications
and measurements are improved by the elimination of
the need to inspect numerous mass spectra and carry-
out extensive calculations. Results of the six-laboratory
test will be presented at the annual conference of the
OERR's contract laboratory program in August.

Progress Report on the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) QA Program
Through EMSL-Cincinnati, the OWEP has been
conducting a QA program to assure the quality of
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) self-monitoring data of the 7500 major
permittees. Since 1980, five national studies have been
completed.
-------
Major permittees are sent performance evaluation
(PE) samples containing constituents normally found in
industrial and municipal wastewaters. The samples are
to be analyzed with the method normally used to report
NPDES self-monitoring data. Responding permittees
subsequently receive an evaluation of their data, and
are given guidance for checking error sources.
The program has provided valuable data in assessing
the quality of DMRs. Improvements have been signif-
icant. It also enables the tracking of improvements by
individual industries, identifving the sources of error,
and improving the efficiency of flPDES compliance
monitoring.
Since there have been changes on the study popula-
tion from study to study, a group of permittees that has
participated from the beginning has been identified as a
control to monitor how permittees can improve. The
control group (about 3000 permittees have participated
in all five studies) shows slightly higher improvement
rates. The improvements are illustrated in Figures 1 and
2.
New initiatives in 1986 (Study 6) include:
1. Three analytes are added: total cyanide, total
phenolics, and total residual chlorine.
2. Permit files are being compared with DMR QA
report files to track discrepancies in reporting.

The USEPA Repository for Toxic and Hazardous Materials
EMSL-Cincinnati maintains the USEPA Repository for
Toxic and Hazardous Materials to provide a continuing
source of calibration materials, standards, reference
compounds, and spiking solutions for all trace organics
of interest to the Agency. The Repository provides
support for Ambient Monitoring, Drinking Water,
NPDES/Priority Pollutants, Hazardous Waste/Solid
Waste, and Toxics Programs.
10
-------
Compounds are prepared individually as 1.5 mL
solutions in water-miscible solvents sealed in alt-glass
ampuls. A data sheet with each ampul contains general
chemical data, solution specifications, storage and
preservation recommendations, information on purity
and health hazards, and safe handling instructions.
Included with each data sheet is a GC or high perform-
ance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) showing relative
peak areas, retention times of the compound, and
impurities, if any. The chromatograms are obtained
using detector conditions specified in USEPA's methods.
Three grades of materials will be distributed:
QA Standards (QAS) >99 percent purity
QA Reagents (OAR) 95-98 percent purity
QA Technical Materials (OAT) <95 percent purity
The Repository will move as many compounds as
possible from the QAT and OAR categories into the QAS
category by use of purification techniques. Exceptions
are multicomponent materials such as PCBs, toxaphene,
chlordane, and halowaxes which will be categorized as
OAR or QAT and will not be purified further. The current
list of the Repository materials distributed is given in the
following table:
Concentrations are 5000 pg of QAS-pure compound per mL ofmethanol solvent unless otherwise noted.

Training Information for Instrumentation, QA/QC
EMSL-Cincinnati receives many requests for
information about training courses offered on the useof
analytical instrumentation and the role of QA and QC in
environmental measurements. Since many agencies
are cutting back or eliminating their training facilities, it
becomes increasingly important to personnel in need of
such training to have a central source of information.
In response to this need, and in keeping with the
Newsletter's mission to report current information on
the methodology and QA/QC used in environmental
measurement activities; a list of courses is provided.
It should be noted that this information does not in
any way constitute an endorsement of the organization
offering such training, nor will this laboratory make any
sort of referral regarding the merits of individual
courses. Please contact the association sponsoring the
; course for further information.
Please submit information on instrumentation or
QA/QC courses to: Betty Thomas, Publications Assistant,
QA Newsletter, EMSL-Cincinnafi, US EPA, 26 West St.
Clair, Cincinnati, Ohio 45268, who reserves the right to
publish only that information which relates to either the
use of instrumentation or QA/QC techniques or proce-
dures in methods required by various regulatory or
compliance monitoring programs.
