Analytical Methods Approved for Drinking Water Compliance
Monitoring of Organic Contaminants
Analysis for the following 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 precedent over this table. The table should accurately reflect the analytical methods
information published in 40 CFR 141. If you find discrepancies, please notify' The Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) so that EPA can correct the
table.

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 generated by Method AG-625 that is greater than one-half the maximum contaminant level (MCL)
(in other words, greater than 0.0015mg/L or 1.5 |xg/L) must be confirmed using another approved method for this contaminant and should
use additional volume of the original sample collected for compliance monitoring. In instances where a result from Method AG-625 triggers such
confirmatory testing, the confirmatory result is to be used to determine compliance.
