Consultant Firm:
Laboratory Name:
a. Did an ADEC CS approved laboratory receive and perform all of the submitted sample analyses?
b. Sample preservation acceptable – acidified waters, Methanol preserved VOC soil (GRO, BTEX,
Volatile Chlorinated Solvents, etc.)?
c. Sample condition documented – broken, leaking (Methanol), zero headspace (VOC vials)?
4. Case Narrative
5. Samples Results
d. Are the reported LOQs less than the Cleanup Level or the minimum required detection level for
the project?
6. QC Samples
a. Method Blank
i. One method blank reported per matrix, analysis and 20 samples?
ii. All method blank results less than limit of quantitation (LOQ)?
iv. Do the affected sample(s) have data flags? If so, are the data flags clearly defined?
ii. Metals/Inorganics – one LCS and one sample duplicate reported per matrix, analysis and
20 samples?
iii. Accuracy – All percent recoveries (%R) reported and within method or laboratory limits?
And project specified DQOs, if applicable. (AK Petroleum methods: AK101 60%-120%,
AK102 75%-125%, AK103 60%-120%; all other analyses see the laboratory QC pages)
iv. Precision – All relative percent differences (RPD) reported and less than method or
laboratory limits? And project specified DQOs, if applicable. RPD reported from
LCS/LCSD, MS/MSD, and or sample/sample duplicate. (AK Petroleum methods 20%; all
other analyses see the laboratory QC pages)
vi. Do the affected sample(s) have data flags? If so, are the data flags clearly defined?
ii. Accuracy – All percent recoveries (%R) reported and within method or laboratory limits?
And project specified DQOs, if applicable. (AK Petroleum methods 50-150 %R; all other
analyses see the laboratory report pages)
iii. Do the sample results with failed surrogate recoveries have data flags? If so, are the data
flags clearly defined?
d. Trip blank – Volatile analyses only (GRO, BTEX, Volatile Chlorinated Solvents, etc.): Water and
Soil
i. One trip blank reported per matrix, analysis and for each cooler containing volatile
samples?
(If not, enter explanation below.)
ii. Is the cooler used to transport the trip blank and VOA samples clearly indicated on the
COC? (If not, a comment explaining why must be entered below)
e. Field Duplicate
i. One field duplicate submitted per matrix, analysis and 10 project samples?
iii. Precision – All relative percent differences (RPD) less than specified DQOs?
(Recommended: 30% water, 50% soil)
RPD (%) = Absolute value of: (R1-R2) x 100
((R1+R2)/2)
Where R1 = Sample Concentration
R2 = Field Duplicate Concentration
iv. Data quality or usability affected? (Use the comment box to explain why or why not.)
Comments:
f. Decontamination or Equipment Blank (If not applicable, a comment stating why must be entered
below).
