Field quality control samples collected were trip blanks; equipment blank; matrix spike/matrix spike duplicates (MS/MSD); and field duplicates. During the initiation of this project, it was determined that ambient blanks were not necessary due to the absence of a source at the site. The trip blanks were analyzed for volatile organics only. All other field quality control samples were analyzed for the same parameters as their associated samples.
All samples were collected by Parsons Engineering Science (Parsons ES). All analyses were performed by APPL Inc. following procedures outlined in the AFCEE QAPP, version 3.0.
The data submitted by the laboratory has been reviewed and verified following the guidelines outlined in the AFCEE QAPP, version 3.0. Information reviewed in the data packages include sample results; the summary of laboratory quality control results; case narrative; raw data; and chain-of-custody forms. The analyses and findings presented in this report are based on the reviewed information, and whether guidelines in the AFCEE QAPP were met.
This SDG consisted of seventeen (17) samples, including twelve (12) confirmation environmental soil samples, two field duplicate soil samples, one set of matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate samples and one equipment blank sample. The samples were collected on April 5, 2000 and analyzed for semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs).
SVOC analyses were performed using United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) SW846 Method 8270C. All samples for this SDG were analyzed following the procedures outlined in the AFCEE QAPP. All samples collected were prepared and analyzed within the holding times required by the method.
Accuracy was evaluated using the %R results for the MS/MSD samples; LCS samples; and surrogate spikes. Sample B4-SB14 (15-16�) was used as the MS/MSD sample in this SDG.
All MS/MSD %Rs were within acceptance criteria except for as follows:
Sample B4-SB14 (15-16�)

- The %R result was compliant.
The benzoic acid and hexachlorobutadiene results in the samples from the same site with similar matrix as the MS/MSD sample were flagged �M� to indicate a matrix effect was present.
All LCS and surrogate %Rs were within acceptance criteria.
Precision was evaluated using the Relative Percent Difference (RPD) results obtained from MS/MSD results; and the field duplicate analyte values. Sample B4-SB14 (15-16�) was used as the MS/MSD sample in this SDG. Sample B4-SB12 (0.0-0.5�) FD was the field duplicate of sample B4-SB12 (0.0-0.5�).

The lead result in the associated samples was considered estimated and flagged �J�.
� All recovery test criteria were met.
There were two method blanks, one equipment blank and several calibration blanks associated with the lead analyses in this SDG. The method and calibration blanks were free of any lead above the RL. The equipment blank, RL83-EB06, contained 0.0116 mg/L of lead. No action was needed since the lead results were already estimated due to non-compliant field duplicate RPDs and dilution test RPDs.
