4 Blank Actions

The Action Levels for any analyte is equal to five times the highest concentration of that elements contamination in any blank The action level for samples which have been concentrated or diluted should multiplied by the concentrationdilution factor No positive sample result should be reported unless the concentration of the analyte in the sample exceeds the Action Level (AL) Specific actions are as follows

a When the concentration is greater than the IDL but less than the Action Level report the sample concentration detected with a U

b When the sample concentration is greater than the Action Level report the sample concentration unqualified

CYANIDE

-050 (mgL) x 5000 5000 100 -05000

Sample ID = MAEN08 Lab Value = 100U

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

4 Blank Actions

The Action Levels for any analyte is equal to five times the highest concentration of that elements contamination in any blank The action level for samples which have been concentrated or diluted should multiplied by the concentrationdilution factor No positive sample result should be reported unless the concentration of the analyte in the sample exceeds the Action Level (AL) Specific actions are as follows

a When the concentration is greater than the IDL but less than the Action Level report the sample concentration detected with a U

b When the sample concentration is greater than the Action Level report the sample concentration unqualified

Cone in ugL X (Volume diluted to (200ml)Weight digested (1gram)) X (1L1 000ml) X (1000gm1kg) X(1mg1000ug) = mgkg

Multiplying this result by 5 to arrive at the action level gives a final result in mgkg which can then be compared to sample results

Sample ID = MAEN08 Lab Value = 100U

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

The Action Levels for any analyte is equal to five times the highest concentration of that elements contamination in any blank The action level for samples which have been concentrated or diluted should multiplied by the concentrationdilution factor No positive sample result should be reported unless the concentration of the analyte in the sample exceeds the Action Level (AL) Specific actions are as follows

a When the concentration is greater than the IDL but less than the Action Level report the sample concentration detected with a U

b When the sample concentration is greater than the Action Level report the sample concentration unqualified

XIII SAMPLE QUANTITATION

Yes Sample results fall within the linear range for ICP and within the calibrated range for all other parameters

Sample results were beyond the linear rangecalibration range of the instrument for the following sampleselements

In the space below please show a minimum of one sample calculation per method

ICP

1170000 (mgL) x 10000 10000 100 11700

Sample ID = MACZ38 Calcium Lab Value = 11700 ugL

FURNACE

NA

MERCURY

-006 (mgL) x 10000 10000 100 -00550

Sample ID = MAEN08 Lab Value = 02U

CYANIDE

-050 (mgL) x 5000 5000 100 -05000

Sample ID = MAEN08 Lab Value = 100U

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

The Action Levels for any analyte is equal to five times the highest concentration of that elements contamination in any blank The action level for samples which have been concentrated or diluted should multiplied by the concentrationdilution factor No positive sample result should be reported unless the concentration of the analyte in the sample exceeds the Action Level (AL) Specific actions are as follows

a When the concentration is greater than the IDL but less than the Action Level report the sample concentration detected with a U

b When the sample concentration is greater than the Action Level report the sample concentration unqualified

Sample ID = MACZ38 Calcium Lab Value = 11700 ugL

FURNACE

MERCURY

-006 (mgL) x 10000 10000 100 -00550

CYANIDE

-050 (mgL) x 5000 5000 100 -05000

Sample ID = MAEN08 Lab Value = 100U

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

CYANIDE

-050 (mgL) x 5000 5000 100 -05000

Sample ID = MAEN08 Lab Value = 100U

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

The Action Levels for any analyte is equal to five times the highest concentration of that elements contamination in any blank The action level for samples which have been concentrated or diluted should multiplied by the concentrationdilution factor No positive sample result should be reported unless the concentration of the analyte in the sample exceeds the Action Level (AL) Specific actions are as follows

a When the concentration is greater than the IDL but less than the Action Level report the sample concentration detected with a U

b When the sample concentration is greater than the Action Level report the sample concentration unqualified

CYANIDE

-050 (mgL) x 5000 5000 100 -05000

Sample ID = MAEN08 Lab Value = 100U

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

Sample ID = MAEN08 Lab Value = 100U

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

CYANIDE

-050 (mgL) x 5000 5000 100 -05000

Sample ID = MAEN08 Lab Value = 100U

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

Sample ID = MAEN08 Lab Value = 100U

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

Sample ID = MAEN08 Lab Value = 100U

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

Sample ID = MAEN08 Lab Value = 100U

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)

For soil samples the following equation may be necessary to convert raw data values (usually reported in ugL) to actual sample concentrations (mgkg)

The lab is required to use 1 gram sample (wet weight) to 200 ml

Wet weight concentration =

digest cone in (ug L) x (200ml 1 gm) x (1L 1000ml) x (lOOOgm 1kg) x (1mg lOOOug) = mg kg

In addition the sample results are converted to dry weight using the percent solids calculations

(Wet weight cone solids) x 100 = final concentration dry weight (mg kg)
