Equations Utilized In Conjunction With ISM02.0
May 13,2013

Introduction

This document provides details of equations used in the Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) Inorganic
Superfund Methods (ISM02.0) Statement of Work (SOW) utilizing values reported in the Staged
Electronic Data Deliverable (SEDD). The equations in the SOW use terminology relevant to the
particular analytical method, which may or may not be consistent with the terminology used in the SEDD
specification. This document defines the SOW equation variables in terms consistent with the location,
name, and meaning in the SEDD. Please note that these equations are only applicable to a SEDD Stage 3
file.

The formulas/calculations provided in this document were prepared based on "normal
laboratory practices ". Any deviations from these "normal laboratory practices " may
invalidate these formulas. All CLP contractors must follow their contract
requirements, including the ISM02.0 Statement of Work reporting requirements for
preparation of a fully compliant Electronic Data Deliverable.

For each analytical method in Exhibit D of the SOW (ICP-AES, ICP-MS, Mercury, and Cyanide), the
equations are reproduced in the following sections with the same equation number, title, and terms that
appear in the SOW. Following the equation, each variable is defined using terminology consistent with
the SEDD.

If the result of the equation is reported in the SEDD, this result is defined first by listing the parent node
and data element where the result is reported. For example, in EQ. 1 - ICV Percent Recovery in Exhibit
D - ICP-MS, "%R = Analyte/PercentRecovery" means the result of Equation 1 (ICV Percent Recovery) is
reported in the SEDD data element "PercentRecovery" under the "Analyte" node. Figure 1 at the end of
this document depicts the SEDD data node hierarchy for reference.

Next, each equation variable is listed in the order in which they appear in the equation and falls into one
of three categories: reported in the SEDD, calculated from another equation, or a constant. For example,
"Found (ICV) = Reported Analyte/IntermediateResult (|ig/L)" means that the variable "Found (ICV)" is a
value reported in the SEDD and located in the data element "IntermediateResult" under the "Analyte"
node with units of "|ig/L". The definition "SD = Standard Deviation from EQ. 3" means that the variable
"SD" is the result of equation "Standard Deviation" calculated in Equation 3. Constants are represented in
the example "WM = Minimum method required aliquot amount (1.00 g)" where "WM" is equivalent to
"1.00 g".

Some SOW equation variables are considered "intermediate results" in SEDD, which means that they are
results based on other equations using values reported in the SEDD. In these cases, sub-equations have
been included to derive these intermediate results for inclusion in the SOW equations. These sub-
equations are identified by the equation number of the "parent" equation in the SOW with a lowercase
letter appended to it (e.g., EQ. 13a, EQ. 13b, etc.). For example, EQ. 13 - Matrix Spike and Post-
Digestion Spike Percent Recovery in Exhibit D - ICP-MS defines the term "SA" as the "Expected
Concentration from EQ. 13a for Aqueous/Water samples (|ig/L). or EQ. 13b for soil/sediment samples
(mg/kg)." The SOW does not specify how to calculate the Expected Result using values reported in the
SEDD; therefore, EQ. 13a and 13b are added showing how this result is derived.
