Bolded and shaded areas indicate detected values that exceed MCLs and RRS2 levels.

Bolded value for trans-1,2-Dichloroethene (84 ug/L) indicates that this value will exceed combined allowable MCL for THMs.

1  Reporting Limit (RL) established by the Air Force Center for  Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) in the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP), Version 3.0, March 1998.

2  Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - maximum permissable level of a contaminant in water which is delivered to any user of a public water system.  Values taken from United States Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Water, Drinking Water Regulations and Health Advisories, 4 February 1999.

3  GW-Res - Groundwater Medium-Specific Concentrations (MSCs) for Residential use; GW-Ind - Groundwater MSC for Industrial use. Values taken from

the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC), Updated Examples of Standard No. 2, Appendix II MSCs, updated 18 September 1998.

4  TBD = To be determined.

5  MCL for all THMs combined cannot exceed 80 ug/L (proposed).
