Project: HDP Report Number: 160-14366-2 With the exceptions noted as flags or footnotes, standard analytical protocols were followed in the analysis of the samples and no problems were encountered or anomalies observed. In addition all laboratory quality control samples were within established control limits, with any exceptions noted below. Each sample was analyzed to achieve the lowest possible reporting limit within the constraints of the method. In some cases, due to interference or analytes present at high concentrations, samples were diluted. For diluted samples, the reporting limits are adjusted relative to the dilution required.
TestAmerica St. Louis attests to the validity of the laboratory data generated by TestAmerica facilities reported herein. All analyses performed by TestAmerica facilities were done using established laboratory SOPs that incorporate QA/QC procedures described in the application methods. TestAmericas operations groups have reviewed the data for compliance with the laboratory QA/QC plan, and data have been found to be compliant with laboratory protocols unless otherwise noted below.
The test results in this report meet all NELAP requirements for parameters for which accreditation is required or available. Any exceptions to NELAP requirements are noted in this report. Pursuant to NELAP, this report may not be reproduced, except in full, without the written approval of the laboratory.
Calculations are performed before rounding to avoid round-off errors in calculated results.
All holding times were met and proper preservation noted for the methods performed on these samples, unless otherwise detailed in the individual sections below.
All solid sample results for Chemistry analyses are reported on an "as received" basis unless otherwise indicated by the presence of a %
solids value in the method header. All soil/sediment sample results for radiochemistry analyses are based upon sample as dried and disaggregated with the exception of tritium, carbon-14, and iodine-129 by gamma spectroscopy unless requested as wet weight by the client.
This laboratory report is confidential and is intended for the sole use of TestAmerica and its client.
RECEIPT The samples were received on 10/20/2015 11:10 AM; the samples arrived in good condition, properly preserved and, where required, on ice. The temperature of the cooler at receipt was 20.3º C.
RADIUM-226 BY GAMMA SPEC (21 DAY INGROWTH)
Samples L03-02-25-P-S-B-00 (160-14366-1) and L03-02-26-P-S-B-00 (160-14366-2) were analyzed for Radium-226 by gamma spec (21 day ingrowth) in accordance with EPA GA_01_R. The samples were leached on 10/20/2015, prepared on 10/21/2015 and analyzed on 11/12/2015.
No additional analytical or quality issues were noted, other than those described above or in the Definitions/Glossary page.
