3. Purpose of analysis (specify whether Superfund enforcement or remedial
action, RCRA, NPDES, etc.):
TES V Enforcement, RI/FS Compliance
4. p*timated Date(s) of collection:
The samples are scheduled to be collected during the week of September
28, 1992.
5. Estimated date(s) and method of shipment:
Samples will be shipped the day they are collected via Federal Express
All samples must be refrigerated at 4 degrees Celcius. The laboratory
must have personnel available on Saturdays( except legal holidays) to
receive, log in and refrigerate samples. The laboratory will be
informed by 3 pm on Friday, if Saturday delivery is to be expected.
The laboratory shall have all applicable USDA permits including the
USDA Compliance Agreement and the Application and Permit to Move soil
to allow entry of soil samples into the U.S. from the U.S. VIRGIN
ISLANDS. These permits shall be signed by the approprite regulatory
officials and legible copies of these documents must be provided to
CDMFPC prior to the intial sampling date.
6. Number of days analysis and data required after laboratory receipt of
samples:
All samples must be analyzed within ten (10) days of verified time of
sample receipt. A complete data package containing all the sample
delivery groups(SDG's) associated with the case must be submitted in
its entirety vithin thirty five(35) days of verified time of sample
receipt of the last sample in the case.
7. Analytical protocol required (attached copy if other than a protocol
currently used in this program):
All samples must be prepared and analyzed per d;t protocols described
in Section D, "Analytical Methods for Volatiles" of the current
revision of the CLP RAS Statement of Work for Organics analysis
OLM01.8, Rev.3/90.
Any modifications of the specified procedures must be approved by SHO,
prior to sample analysis.

8. Special Technical instructions (if outside protocol requirements,
specify compound names, CAS numbers, detection limits, etc.);
The maximum number of samples in a sample delivery group is 20.
All calibration, QA/QC procedures, and analytical procedures as
specified in the current revision of the CLP RAS Statement of Work for
Organics Analysis OLMO1.8, Rev 3/90 must be performed.
In addition to this the laboratory must:
1. Perform Method detection limit studies for the analytes of interest
as described in 40 CFR Pt 136, App.B(attached).
2. The analytes of interest must be included in. all calibration
standards.
9. Analytical results required (if known, specify format for data sheets,
QA/QC reports, Chain-Of-Custody documentation, etc.). If not
completed, format of results vill be l«ft to program discretion.
Submit all documentation including data sheets vith data results,
laboratory duplicate and method blank results, QA/QC information, rav
.data, calibration curves, SAS packing lists, chain-of-custody forms,
SAS client request form, copy of airbill(s), sample tags, and all CLP
deliverable? required for the VOA fraction.
The laboratory must submit all supporting documentation to demonstrate
the performance of the MDL studies.
The complete EPA sample numbers as they appear on chain-of-custody and
CLP paperwork, must be used in the raw data and on all data reporting
forms. The entire data package must be paginated.
Results are to be reported on CLP data forms modified to include the
analytes requested in Section 2 of this SAS Request. The laboratory
must submit a lab generasted mass spectrum for all compounds detected
above and below the detectionn limit stated in the method.
A written case narrative describing problems encountered in the receipt
of samples or during preparation and analysis and the corrective
actions taken must be provided( including telephone record logs, etc.).
The case narrative should explain any deviations and their effect on
the final results.
The data package must be equivalent to the CLP RAS data package as
specified in the Statement of Vork for Organics analysis OLH01.8, Rev
3/90.

10. Other (use additional sheets or attach supplementary information, as
needed):
The laboratory must provide a detailed example calculation that clearly
demonstrates the manner in which the initial and final result vas
derived. Where applicable, each component of the calculation must be
explained (e.g., if the calculation includes a dilution factor, it must
be clear vhere, vhy, and how each dilution occurred). The laboratory
must supply any and all information required to produce during
independent data reviev, all results reported by the laboratory.
Submit sample preparation logs, the concentrations and amounts of
standards added for all QC analyses.
The laboratory's copy of the SAS request, along vith documentation of
any communications vith SMO that resulted in the amendment of the SAS
request must be included in the package.

13. QC Requirements
All QC requirements are per the current revision of the CLP RAS SOW for
Organics OLM01.8, Rev 3/90.
MTBE, n-propylbenzene, and 1,2-dibromoethane standards must be added to
all calibration standards. System Monitoring Compounds (SMCs) should
be added to all samples, blanks, matrix spike, and matrix spike
duplicate prior to purging. The SMCs are used to evaluate the purge
efficiency.

14. Action required if limits are exceeded
Follow all actions specified in the current revision of the CLP RAS
Statement of Work for Organics analysis OLM01.8, Rev 3/90.
Failure to obtain method blank values less than the detection limit
requires that all samples prepared with that method blank be
re-prepared and re-analyzed. All blank data are to be reported and the
necessity for re-analysis must be included in the narrative summary.
If the duplicate results exceed control limits, re-analyze the sample
and the duplicate. If re-analysis fails to produce results in control,
contact SMO.
Please return this request to the Sample Management Office as soon as
possible to expedite processing of your request for special analytical
services. Should you have any questions or need any assistance, please
contact your Regional representative at the Sample Management Office.
