INTRODUCTION:

The laboratory's portion of this Case consisted of 3-soil samples collected on May 25. 1999.

The laboratory reported _No_ problem(s) with the receipt of these samples.

The laboratory reported No problems with the analyses of Total Lead and TCLP Lead - inorganic parameters.

The evaluator has commented on the criteria specified under each fraction heading. All criteria have been assessed, but no discussion is given where the evaluator has determined that criteria were adequately performed or require no comment. Details relevant to these comments are given on the following forms.

A.2.1 Validation Flags-

Red- Line-

Fully Usable Data-

Contractual Oualifiers-

The following flags have been applied in red by the data validator and must be considered by the data user.

This flag indicates the result qualified as estimated.

A red-line drawn through a sample result indicates an unusable value. The red-lined data are known to contain significant errors based on documented information and must not be used by the data user.

The results that do not carry "J" or "red-line" are fiilly usable.

The legend of contractual qualifiers applied by the laboratory on Form I's is found on page B-20 of SOW ILMOLO.

A.2.2 The data assessment is given below and on the attached sheets.

On 25 May 1999, USEPA Region II sampling personnel collected three (03) soil samples from the Vega Baja Landfill Site, 5374 Santa Maria Street, El Rosario Ward, Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. Within twenty-four hours of collection, samples for Total lead & TCLP lead were shipped via overnight Federal Express courier to Mitkem Corporation; (MITKEM), 175 Metro Center Blvd, Warwick, Rhode Island. The laboratory verified that samples were received intact, properly preserved and in sealed shipping containers.

The soil samples were analyzed for Total lead and TCLP lead following the Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) Statement of Work (SOW) number ILM04.1

CASE DESCRIPTION: RFP # 4775 consists of 03 soil samples from the Vega Baja Landfill Site.

TAL Metals & TCLP Metals:

Holding times: All samples were analyzed within six months; holding times were not exceeded.

CALIBRATION: The correlation coefficient (r^) of standard concentration versus absorbance readings is greater than (>) 0.995 for linear calibration curves generated in the data package.

RAW DATA: The laboratory provided the supporting raw data for this package. This data package contains summary of analytical results, blank results, initial & continuing calibration recovery, spike sample recovery, lab duplicate results, laboratory control sample results, serial dilution summary and analysis run log.

INITLVL CALIBRATION VERIFICATION/CONTINUING CALIBRATION VERIFICATION: ICV/CCV were run at appropriate intervals as noted on the Calibration Summary form. All ICV/CCV recoveries are within the acceptable range of 90 to 110%.

DUPLICATE ANALYSIS: Data met laboratory duplicate analysis QC criteria (< 20% RPD)

LABORATORY CONTROL SAMPLES: LCS recoveries are within the acceptable range of 80-120%.

ICP SERIAL DILUTION: Data met serial dilution analysis QC criteria (< 10%D)

MATRIX SPIKE RECOVERY:- Matrix Spike recoveries are within the acceptable range of 75-125%.

CRDL STANDARD RECOVERY: CRDL Standard recoveries are within the acceptable range of 80-120%.

EIELD DUPLICATE ANALYSIS:-

The following analytes were either qualified as estimated ("J") or rejected ("redlined") in th6 associated field duplicate samples because the Relative Percent Difference (RPD) or Difference (Diff) between the samples and corresponding field duplicate samples were outside the specified QC criteria:

SDG Narrative

Mitkem Corporation submits the enclosed data package in response to Roy F. Weston's project. Under this deliverable, analysis results are presented for three soil samples that were received on May 26, 1999, and logged in under Mitkem Project Number 60895. Analyses were performed per specifications in the chain of custody form.

The following samples are submitted in this data package:

Client ID* 5462-Sl 5462-S2 5463-S3**

Lab ID 60895001 60895002 60895003

Analvsis M M M .

* The client IDs were truncated by deleting the hyphen in the data package. ** The client ID was denoted as 5462S3 in the data pacakge.

M = Total and TCLP lead

The analyses were performed and reported per CLP ILM04.1 SOW.

The following observation and/or deviations are observed for the following analyses:

I. Metals analysis:

The analyses were pertbrmed using a Perkin Elmer Optima 3 lOOXL ICAP.

The results for the total and TCLP analyses were reported together in the package. Please note that different laboratory IDs were assigned to the total and leachate samples.

No unusual observation was made for the analysis.
