K^,pr°,ec,,°r Analytical Methods Approved for Drinking Water Compliance
Monitoring of Organic Contaminants
Analysis for the following organic contaminants shall be conducted in accordance with the methods in the following table, or their
equivalent as determined by EPA. The methods and monitoring requirements for these contaminants are specified in 40 CFR 141.24.
Additional methods are listed in Appendix A to Subpart C of Part 141.
The CFR is the legal reference for approved methods and takes precedence over this table. The table should accurately reflect the
analytical methods information published in 40 CFR 141. If discrepancies are found, please notify the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-
426-4791) so that EPA can correct the table.

detection limits is allowed as follows - either an electron capture or nitrogen phosphorus detector may be used provided all regulatory requirements and quality

Note regarding Syngenta Method AG-625: This method may not be used for the analysis of atrazine in any system where chlorine dioxide is used for drinking
water treatment. In samples from all other systems, any result for atrazine that is greater than one-half the MCL (i.e. greater than 1.5 ng/L) must be confirmed
using another approved method for atrazine and should use additional volume of the original sample collected for compliance monitoring. In instances where a
result from Syngenta Method AG-625 triggers such confirmatory testing, the confirmatory result is to be used to determine compliance.

Standard Methods
PCBs (as Arochlors)
PCBs are qualitatively identified as Aroclors and measured for compliance purposes as decachlorobiphenyl. Users of Method 505 may have more difficulty
achieving the required detection levels than users of Methods 508.1, 525.2, 525.3 or 508.
