ERM) provides sampling kits comprised of pre-cleaned, labeled sample containers of the type
recommended by EPA. These containers are furnished with the preservatives necessary to
stabilize the parameters of interest according to EPA protocols. ERMI also provides chain-of-
custody forms, custody seals, and return shipping labels. No charges are assessed for the
sampling kit or for ground transportation of the kit delivered to your location provided all
sample containers and coolers comprising the kit are used in the samp�ing event and returned
to ERMI containing samples. If excess supplies, specialized sample containers, or other
unique sampling equipment are required, you will be invoiced for these items. For sampling
kits provided in an emergency or rush situation, customers are invoiced for the cost of the
overnight delivery service. The cost of return shipment of samples to ERMI for analysis is the
responsibility of the customer.

ERMI's standard turnaround time for most environmental analyses is 5 to 7 working days,
depending upon the number of samples to be analyzed and the number and type of analyses
to be performed. Working days are 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, excluding
holidays. Turnaround time is defined as the time elapsed from sample receipt to the issuance
of the report. In general, samples received at the laboratory after 2 P.M. will be considered as
being received the following day. Standard turnaround time for BTEX and TPH is 48 hours.
Sample turnaround requirements other than the standard 5 to 7 working day turnaround
should be prearranged with the laboratory to ensure adequate capacity is available to fulfill

ERMI prepares custom reports for each sample or group of samples. These reports include
the observed concentrations for each parameter of interest supported by quality control (QC)
information and pertinent observations. Typical QC information, furnished at no additional
cost, includes the results of matrix spike, matrix spike duplicate, standard and surrogate
samples analyzed with customer samples, where applicable for the tests performed. Typical
incidental observations reported are: preservative agent used to stabilize the parameters of
interest prior to analysis, analytical technique employed for each analysis, date and time of
analysis and the name of the analyst who performed each test. Often, additional customer
requested information can be incorporated into the reports for no additional cost, or for a
modest fee.

ERMI's prices are based upon routine and customary analyses of environmental media using
EPA methods. For samples requiring special treatments, an additional fee will be assessed
based on the service required. Some of the more frequently requested special services and
their associated fees are given below. Any special sample treatment(s) required to deal with
samples having difficult matrices, interferences or more than one phase will be discussed with
the customer prior to implementation to decide whether to proceed or halt the analysis.
Addition of Organic Compounds to a Method Specific List of Parameters - The
addition of an organic compound to a method specific list of parameters without
standardization of the instrument on this compound can be accommodated for a price of
$10.00 per parameter. The addition of an organic compound with standardization of the
instrument on the parameter of interest can be accommodated for a price of $25.00 per
compound. This price assumes ERMI maintains the standard in-house. If it is necessary to
obtain a specific standard, the cost of purchasing the standard will be added to the price.
Special Sample Treatments and Analyses - Special sample treatments or alternate
analyses are sometimes required to deal with difficult sample matrices and/or sample
interferences. The fees associated with these techniques will be assessed on a case-by-case
basis because of the varied techniques and treatments which can be applied. No special
treatments or analyses will be applied to a sample without prior consultation with and approval
of the customer.
,.. Library Search - A search, using the NIST Library of over 36,000 organic compounds, can
be accomplished to tentatively identify unknown volatile or semivolatile compounds for
$100.00 per search.
�
r
�,:
�
�,.
�
Multiphase Samples - Samples containing more than one phase require special treatment.
Each phase of the sample must be separated, the quantity of each phase determined and
each analyzed as a separate sample. Following analysis, the result of each phase must be
weighted by its respective quantity and mathematically recombined to yield a value for each
parameter of interest that is representative of the total sample. Therefore, each phase of a
multiphase sample will be invoiced as a separate sample.

Expenditures made by ERMI on behalf of a customer, such as freight charges, subcontracted
services, specialized equipment charges, rentals, etc., will be invoiced to the customer with a
10% handling fee.

�� 1.0 INTRODUCTION
Environmental regulations and the consequences for not complying with
them demands the use of an environmental laboratory that strictly complies
with EPA protocols. Environmental chemistry analyses must be performed
using approved techniques, the resulting data substantiated with good
quality control information and the analyses performed in a timely manner
within the allowable regulatory time frame for each parameter. As well, the
resulting information can be rendered useless unless the samples are
handled in the prescribed manner and are traceable to their origin using
appropriate chain-of-custody procedures.
ERMI is such an environmental laboratory. We have diligently adhered to all
� EPA protocols since the company was established in 1983 and have gone
` a step beyond to enhance our quality program over and above that
�. normally required by state and federal government agencies. Our quality
� program has endured rigorous audits by the Texas Natural Resource
` Conservation Commission (TNRCC), environmental and engineering firms,
� water and wastewater authorities and other entities. In each case, our
procedures meet or exceed all expectations. Additionally, our laboratory is
� certified by the states of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and Tennessee.
�� , ERM� offers a variety of services to address a broad range of environmental
issues. To provide these services, we employ a multi-disciplinary staff of
� chemists, scientists, and regulatory experts, field and laboratory
`- technicians and support personnel who are all experts in their fields. All
� chemists and many other employees have earned degrees from accredited
� colleges or universities and most have extensive experience in performing
' their assigned tasks. These individuals, coupled with our modern
� laboratory and experience, enable us to provide a high level of
l�,# environmental chemistry and consulting services.
� One of ERMI's greatest strengths is our experience. We provide services to
tl� _ a large diversity of industries and government agencies. Included among
�, them are mining, utility, steel, pulp and paper, chemical, environmental,
� engineering, manufacturing and other industries ranging in size from small
�� companies to large corporations and a number of municipalities and water
r and wastewater authorities.

All analyses are pertormed using approved techniques and are backed by
rigid quality control tests (See Sections 3.1.2 and 3.1.3).
2.2 Wastewater Monitoring
Wastewater monitoring is usualty performed to fulfill specific monitoring
�" requirements for effluent discharge permits or to identify and solve
,..+ wastewater problems. We work closely with customers to provide an
unbiased, third-parry evaluation of wastewater quality by sampling effluents
^"' on a random, unannounced basis, reporting the results of analyses
`� substantiated with quality control information in a timely manner, advising
them of out-of-compliance situations as soon as they are known and by
�� helping them solve effluent problems.

Discrete and composite samples are collected using state-of-the-art
automated sampling devices. Quite often, to identify the source(s) of
problem constituents, several samplers are set simultaneously at a
particular industry to determine the levels of contaminants in individual
waste streams, which combine to form the regulated discharge. As
appropriate for the types of analyses to be performed on the sample, the
samplers are equipped with customer specific Teflon or vinyl suction lines
and stainless steel or plastic strainers to minimize the potential for sample
contamination. To maintain the integrity of the sample, approved sample
handling procedures are used both in the field and laboratory and the
sample is promptly analyzed for the required constituents within specified
holding times.
2.3 Groundwater Monitoring
" ERMI's groundwater monitoring services are comprised of sample collection,
� analysis of samples for specific parameters and reporting of the physical
_ and analytical results to our customers and, if required, directly to the
regulating agency. For sampling monitoring wells, we use techniques
'� appropriate for the depth of the well and the chemical parameters to be
measured from each. Shallow wells are typically sampled using bailers
� and deeper wells using either portable or dedicated bladder pumps. When

organic chemicals are of concern, sampling devices constructed of Teflon
or stainless steel are used. Portable and dedicated pumping systems are
driven by a gasoline powered, oil-less air compressor to preclude possible
sample contamination with oil and the compressor is located about 50 feet
downwind of the well to prevent contamination by emissions from the
gasoline engine. Standard protocols observed when sampling wells
include: the use of a ground cloth around the well head to serve as a"clean
area", the handling of down-well sampling equipment with rubber gloved
hands, the decontamination of all non-dedicated down-well sampling
equipment, the changing of rubber gloves between wells, the calibration of
all field meters immediately prior to use and the removal of at least three
"well volumes" of water from each well or purging the well dry before
sample collection.
2.4 Surface Waterbody Studies
ERMI performs environmental chemistry studies on freshwater and estuarine
� ecosystems to address a wide range of environmental concerns. Studies
`' are performed to monitor water quality, identify the impacts of point and
� non-point source pollution, identify the extent and magnitude of
i contaminants in fish and other organisms, predict waste assimilation
�� capacity, establish baseline water quality conditions, determine attainable
� uses of the waterbody or waterbody segment, fulfill permit requirements
�, and for other purposes. We have the highly specialized sampling
equipment necessary to correctly sample complex aquatic systems and
� can analyze these samples in our laboratory for a wide range of
� parameters including: metals, nutrients, oxygen demands, solids, organics
and other parameters. Information from these analyses can then be
� synthesized, interpreted and presented in descriptive customizable reports.
2.5 Field Sampling and Testing
�y Sample collection usually requires more than just placing a portion of the
substance to be tested in a bottle. The sample must be collected in a way
� representative of the whole sample and, if more than one chemical
�: parameter is to be analyzed, several samples or subsamples must be
taken, placed into containers of the appropriate type and preserved in a
` specific manner to stabilize the chemical parameter(s) of interest. Also,
� because of their labile nature, certain chemical constituents must be
measured in the field immediately upon sample collection.

v
ERMI's field staff is trained and experienced in appropriate sample
collection, stabilization and testing procedures. We follow EPA approved
procedures such as those set forth in 40 CFR Part 136 "Guidelines

initiated with the collection of each sample.
2.6 Flow Studies
ERMI's flow measurement and monitoring capabilities range from measuring
flows in sewer pipes and discharge flumes to estimating flows in streams
a�" and rivers. Portable installations are used in small waste streams such as
� discharges to POTW's or small discharges to surface waterbodies while
b flows in large discharge structures, streams and rivers are measured using
the USGS quarter-point, dye or other appropriate technique.
2.7 Technical Assistance
Our staff is available for technical assistance on a variety of issues. We
keep abreast of pertinent environmental regulations and are available to
`� answer specific questions, to provide assistance in solving specific
�. , problems, formulating and evaluating mitigation alternatives, permitting
� assistance, or to serve as an interface with regulatory agencies. We also

; OI Model 4560 Sample Concentrators
This model thermally traps and desorbs organic compounds for volatile GC
�" analysis. It is primarily designed to purge volatiles from water and soil onto
� a sorbent trap in strict accordance with U.S. EPA protocol and can be used
� as a base unit for controlling automatic sampling products. Liquid, solid, or
gaseous (from a solid support) samples containing volatile organic
� compounds are sparged at a controlled temperature with a regutated flow
¢ of inert gas for a fixed period. Analytes stripped from the sample (or
transferred from an upstream multisampling product) are concentrated on a
�� cool sorbent trap specific to the application. The trap is then rapidly heated
� and, with a valve change, the analytes are desorbed as a"plug" under a
�,,; reversed flow of carrier gas onto the GC column. Virtually all water
transferred from the sample matrix to the trap during sparging remains in
"" � the concentrator. The water is then baked out to vent, reducing
interference with ensuing reconcentration, separation, or detection of the
analytes. This purge-and-trap sample concentrator has a short purge-and-
trap cycle, which results in greater productivity for GC analyses such as
`' BTEX. It provides a mechanism for managing sample foaming and spill
,� over with a removable foam/particle filter in the sparger mounts. Up to 14
i sets of run-settings can be saved, loaded as files, and linked during a
sequence.
r OI Autoprep AS 2000
�` ' This model consists of a 23 position Autoprep 1000 gel permeation
r chromatography (GPC) unit for sample cleanup and an Autovap 1000 for
�, unattended sample concentration. This unit provides consistently
processed samples for high quality analyses.
OI Model 4430 Photoionization 8s Flame Ionizatioa Detectors
« The Model 4430 has a unique Window SweepT"' design, which prevents
r the sample stream from touching and contaminating the lamp window. This
minimizes downtime normally required for window cleaning in other
photoionization detectors (PIDs). This feature also allows photosensitive
compounds, which would otherwise polymerize on the window surface, to
� be analyzed. The PID is designed so that the flame ionization detector
(FID) will directly interface without the use of transfer lines. This PID has
� incorporated conical seals to prevent detector leaks as well.
'� The sample stream flows through the detector's reaction chamber where it
is continuously irradiated with high-energy ultraviolet light. When
� compounds are displayed having a lower ionization potential than that of
the irradiation energy, they become ionized. The ions formed are collected
` in an electrical field, producing an ion current proportional to compound

� concentration. The ion current is amplified and produced by the gas
�_.
chromatograph's electrometer.
� OI Model 4552 W/S Autosamplers
�" The Model 4552 allows the automated purge and trap of water samples,
.- soil samples, or both in the same run. The removable sample tray holds up
, to 51 samples and may be cooled to 4°C to meet U.S. EPA guidelines.
Features include a built-in dual internal standard addition capability, sample
stirring, and the elimination of sample carryover, by rinsing sample
� pathways with hot water and purging them with gas after each run. Water
samples are transferred to a sample concentrator sparge vessel for
'� analysis. A sampling syringe transfers sample volumes of 1 to 25 mL,
� which can be automatically diluted from a blank water reservoir. Soil
, samples are purged in the vial either using standard 40-mL VOA vials or
patented double-ended "SoilVials".

splitless and direct sample injection and is capable of utilizing either
capillary or packed columns. Several detectors, including a Hall electrolytic
conductivity detector, photoionization detector and flame ionization
detector, and columns are available for use with the instruments to facilitate
a wide range of organic analyses.
r Hewlett-Packard 5880A Gas ChromatoEraphs
,� This is a four detector, two injector GC system equipped with two electron
capture detectors for simultaneous analysis and confirmation of chlorinated
�' pesticides, a Nitrogen/Phosphorous detector used primarily for analysis of
` organophosphorous pesticides and nitrogen compounds and a flame
,, ionization detector for general gas chromatography and hydrocarbon
analysis. The unit has a 90 station auto sampler which allows the analysis
y of samples around the clock and two instrument specific integrators which
allow simultaneous use of two of the four detectors during a single run or

ABC Laboratories Gel-Permeation Chromato�raphy (GPC) Units
"� The GPC is a stand-alone chromatography unit utilizing the latest EPA
� approved technology for sample extract "cleanup" (Method 3640). All
_ samples introduced to the GC/MS system for semivolatile organic analyses
(Method 8270) are first "cleaned up" using this technology. GPC "cleanup"
promotes the life of the GC/MS column by removing compounds that are
4 both lighter and heavier than the target compound list. These compounds
could render the column ineffective for analysis of select organics or they
� could ruin the column if very "dirty" samples are analyzed directly. The unit
is readily calibrated using the companion UV detector.

�
�, , However, we have improved our protocols to provide a higher level of
quality control than recommended by analyzing more spiked, duplicated
� and standard samples, by paying careful attention to the certification of
�.. , reference compounds used in the analysis and by implementing other such
control measures. Chain-of-custody documentation is completed for each
� sample to document sample handling and to provide evidence that
� samples are analyzed within regulatory holding limits. Backup quality
., control information is supplied with all analytical results and additional
information can be provided. This is done to provide our customers with
`'r not only a prompt, cost-effective service, but also with data that is firm and
r defensible.
3.1.4 Security
'" ERM1 takes a number of precautions to guard the security of samples, data
-� and customer files. Samples are kept under lock and key prior to analysis,
�
raw data and customer files are kept in locked cabinets and information in
computers is protected using hardware or software lock out devices.
`�` Additionally, our facility is situated along a well traveled street with lighting
� illuminating both front and rear access points and the doors are secured
� with dead-bolts. Employee entry to the facility is permitted by limited key
access.
3.2 Organization and Personnel
�
L .
��
�
3.2.1 Organizational Structure
ERMI is comprised of a number of functional groups each working both
independently and in concert to satisfy customer requirements (Figure 3-2).
Each group is headed by a manager or supervisor and all employees within
the group report to this individual. In turn these individuals report to the
President who acts as a focal point to coordinate and direct the activities
within and among the groups. As recommended by EPA, ERMI's Quality
Assurance function reports directly to the President. This ensures that
evaluations of quality are unbiased and not influenced by budgetary
constraints, schedule or day-to-day analytical or field operations.

�, 3.2.2 Personnel
�.. ERMI's environmental chemistry laboratory is staffed with veteran
�, environmental chemists each trained and experienced in their specific
analytical roles. All analysts hold degrees from an accredited college or
-� university and many have over 10 years experience. Each chemist is a
specialist in performing analyses for a particular suite of chemical
parameters, although all are cross-trained and experienced in performing a
number of other analyses to assist each other during times of peak loads.
0. -
We at ERMI have a very high commitment to quality. A part of this
� commitment is filtered into a program, which we call Employee
` Certification. Although each ana/yst is degreed, they must be certified
� before running an analysis without direct supervision. The certification
, program is very meticulous and some call it an initial double allocation of
effort. However, we believe that it is the best way to provide the highest
� quality data for the customer and the best learning environment for
��. employees.
r To become certified, an analyst traverses through a series of steps which
�� may take months to complete for one analysis. A few of the initial steps
� include reading and understanding ERMI 's SOP, use of proper laboratory
� techniques and understanding all applicable QC. The final step of the
�' process involves analyzing and passing an Unknown Quality Control
� Sample provided by the QA Manager. The QA manager will review and
�., determine whether all prerequisites meet ERMI standards before certification
for analysis of a particular parameter is granted

Our services range from the analysis of a single sample for one or more
chemical parameters to conducting extensive, in-depth, multiyear projects
requiring field collection and laboratory analysis of samples and the
preparation of interpretive reports. Many of our customers rely on us to
fulfill their monitoring requirements, be it groundwater, wastewater or
NPDES monitoring. Others call on us to test their waste for hazardous
characteristics on a regular or annual basis. We have also performed
studies: to determine the extent and magnitude of contamination in the
environment and in biological organisms such as fish, to identify the cause
of unusual reactions in natural streams as a result of industrial discharges,
to define wastewater treatability and waste minimization measures, to
establish baseline water quality in surface waterbodies near or on areas to
be mined or soon to receive an industrial discharge and we have
performed property transfer investigations to determine whether areas
were contaminated by prior industrial use.
Representative examples of our experience are presented below.
• Wastewater Monitoring. Regular monitoring of more than 90 wastewater
effluents.
• Groundwater Monitoring. Provide groundwater monitoring services for
municipal landfills and industrial hazardous waste sites.
, • Enforcement Monitoring. We conduct enforcement monitoring for a large
industrialized Dallas suburb and provide analytical services for
� enforcement and other wastewater monitoring performed by a number
'� _ other municipalities and water and wastewater authorities.

At Lancaster Laboratories we offer high quality technical services in the chemical and
F biological sciences with personal attention to client needs. These services include
�, chemical analyses, microbiological testing, and analytical development. We are,
therefore, a technical service company and do not manufacture or distribute goods.
� Our "product" is accurate and timely technical information and our continued existence
depends on the quality of the services we offer and efficiency with which we deliver
them.
To best judge our capabilities, we invite you to come to Lancaster and tour our facility,
meet our staff members, and get a sense of who we are and what we can do. But if
time or distance don't allow you to visit, we hope this manual will serve as an adequate
substitute.
The manual provides a deta�iled picture of our Environmental Sciences Group with
special emphasis on our staff, facilities, instrumentation, quality assurance and
regulatory compliance programs. It allows you, the reader, to judge the excellence of
our scientific merit including our regulatory compliance.
You might want to glance over the sample flow-through diagram on the next page
� before you begin reading the actual manual. It should help you understand our overall
system and give you a framework for the technical explanations that follow.
We appreciate your interest in Lancaster Laboratories.

I. INTRODUCTION
Qualifications Manual
Introduction
�
�
The Environmental Sciences Qualifications Manual provides detailed information about our environmental
facilities, personnel, instrumentation, and quality procedures.
Lancaster Laboratories' operations are organized into two divisions, Pharmaceutical Sciences and
Environmental Sciences. Each of these professionai units operates individually with its own laboratories,
instrumentation and equipment, scientists, and management devoted to understanding and serving the
specific needs of clients. A separate manual describing the Pharmaceutical Sciences Division is
available.
Our "producY' is accurate and timely information and our continued success depends on the quality of the
services we offer and the efficiency with which we deliver them.
Our clientele ranges over the entire Unites States and beyond, into South and Central America and
+... Europe. Although most of our clients are in the mid-Atlantic states, the advent of overnight deliveries
allows us to offer prompt service to the entire country. Our clients include private individuals; private
business enterprises of all sizes; trade associations; universities and colleges; and federal, state, and local
� government agencies.
�
�
�
Analytical Services
The Environmental Sciences Group at Lancaster Laboratories has earned a reputation for providing
quality analytical data. Our professionals know the complexities of your business, and we'll support your
project needs in a timely fashion and with the same level of technical and regulatory standards you would
expect from your in-house laboratories. We emphasize a Total Quality Management process, which
provides accuracy, strict compliance with appropriate regulations, turnaround times to meet your needs,
and attention to specific project re.quirements.
Methodology
� Our experienced staff analyzes samples in accordance with client-supplied methodology, official published
methods or validated in-house methods. We recognize the importance of providing verifiable results and,
therefore, use methods accepted and approved by a broad range of federal and state regulatory agencies.
� We can also assist in developing and validating your analytical methods for specific products and
� matrices. All methods submitted for our review, as well as all analytical results, are considered
confidential.
�
�
�
�
�.
Our Schedule of Services provides a listing of the analytical services offered.
We welcome requests for quotations on special project work or on samples submitted in groups. We also
offer the full range of services listed below. Please call client services at 717-656-2300 to discuss the
details of your project.

Confidentiality
Environmental Sciences
Strict confidentiality is maintained in all of our dealings with clients. Confidentiality agreements, therefore,
are willingly provided. In any instance where information is subpoenaed or requested by and must be
released to a regulatory or legal body, the client is promptly notified.
Electronic Access
While a personal visit to our laboratories is still the best way for clients to learn first hand about our
capabilities, our home page on the World Wide Web provides quick access to current information about
Lancaster Laboratories. Information about our company, services, and career opportunities, plus answers
to frequently asked questions, and regular updates on what's new are among the topics available through
an Internet connection. Home page visitors may also request literature, offer comments or ask questions
on-line, as well as view photos of our facility and operations. The home page address is
http://www,lancasterlabs.com.
An electronic mail system allows our staff to communicate directly with firms or individuals with Internet
accounts anywhere in the world. Employees with client contact have individual e-mail addresses for direct
communication and specific questions. Contact your client services representative for his or her e-mail
address. General mailboxes have also been established for initial questions or requests. The address for
Environmental Sciences is environ@lancasterlabs.com.

One way of shortening turnaround time is personal delivery of samples to the laboratory or '
pick-up of samples by our personnel. Another method is to request that results be �+
reported by telephone or fax. Such requests will always be honored and will be confirmed
subsequently by mailed reports. The fastest means of getting hard copy results for routine •'�
samples is via our Data Access System.
�
c. Data Access System
Clients who have need of fast turnaround time and who submit samples on a regular basis
should investigate our computerized Data Access System. Under this system, a client can
access our computer system by telephone and receive a printout in his/her own office or
laboratory of all analytical results on samples which are completed and verified. The
equipment required at the client's location is a computer and telephone modem. For
security purposes, clients are given access codes which limit access to their samples oniy.
The codes are easily changed in case of a potential breach of security (e.g., loss of client
key personnel). There is no charge for this service.
Billing
r�
,J
�
�
Standard analyses are billed on a per sample, per analysis fee basis, as described in our
Schedule of Services, a copy of which is available upon request. Discounts are available, �
as described in the Schedule of Services. A copy of our Standard Terms and Conditions
may be found in Appendix A. �
2. Specia{ized Testing
.w
This type of work includes analyses for which standard methods are not available, or are
available for substrates other than the samples being considered. This type of work is only �.,�
attempted if we are convinced that our facilities and expertise are sufficient to assure a
reasonable chance of success. °�
Work-Flow Routin�
Management, in consultation with technical personnel, will make the decision whether or
not to attempt the analyses. If the decision is made to proceed, the work flow will follow
the general outline given under Standard Testing.
�
��
In cases involving litigation or the possibility of future litigation, special precautions are
taken in sample handling and analysis, as described in Section 3. ''"
Reporting
Results are reported in a manner similar to that described under Standard Testing. If the ,
methods used are markedly different from those used in standard tests, a letter report �
disc�osing the methods is prepared. Any difficulties and/or special techniques or
precautions are also reported, as well as any interpretive information which may be "`
necessary to understand the results. ,r„
Billing
Billing for specialized testing is on a per sample, per analysis fee basis, in accordance with ""
our best estimate of the cost of doing the tests. This fee may be subject to later revision,
either upward or downward, as we gain experience with the test method. The client will be �1

II. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
This section describes the Environmental Sciences Group with an emphasis on the special expertise
available in the group along with the specific quality assurance programs. For a discussion of our overall
Quality Assurance Program, see Section 3 of this manual.
� A. Operational Procedures
�
�
Standard Testing
This category of work includes microbiological tests and chemical analyses using
well-established methods, or methods which have been validated for the matrix being analyzed.
Whenever possible, "official" or "standard" methods are used. Official methods are those
required for compliance to government regulations (e.g., the methods mandated by the EPA for
drinking water, wastewater, or solid waste). Standard methods are those established by
standard-setting organizations (e.g., the American Society for Testing and Materials [ASTM).
These methods have been subjected to rigorous validation studies and interiaboratory
collaborative testing and are considered very reliable.
Occasionally a client will request that we test samples by a method furnished by the client,
� which is neither official nor standard. We will comply with the client's request with the provision
that we cannot guarantee accuracy or reproducibility of results unless a validation study is
authorized. In other cases, we develop our own in-house methods of analysis. In these cases,
� a validation study is always required before a method is authorized for use in standard testing.
� We have a formai documented procedure by which approval is granted to our laboratory
personnel to use a new or modified method in this type of testing.
Work-Flow Routing
� The computerized Sample Management System, described in Section 3, has many
benefits for our clients. Accuracy is improved since many of the calculations are done by
the computer, eliminating transcription of data from one piece of paper to another. In
addition, traceability of results is assured since each result indicates by code the analyst
� who entered the raw data and the method used. The Sample Management System has
built-in levels of security to prevent unauthorized changes of data or verification status.
Management receives a daily printout of the status of all samples in the lab, including a
� printout of those with priority status or those which have exceeded a preset turnaround
time. This is an important aid to efficient work scheduling. In addition, a request for
information on a clienYs samples can be immediately answered by instant referral to a
computer terminal.
�
�
b. Reporting of Results
When all analyses are completed, the resuits are reviewed and approved by technical
personnel prior to mailing. In addition to the hard copy of the analytical report, data is
available on diskette in a variety of formats.
' We recognize that one of the most important aspects of the services we offer is turnaround
time (i.e., the time which elapses between the receipt of a sample at the laboratory and the
report of the final results). This is one reason we operate on a three-shift,
� around-the-clock basis. Our normal turnaround time is about 7 to 14 days, but it can vary
considerably depending on the workload in the various groups analyzing the sampie and
the nature of the analysis.
�
,
If faster turnaround time is required, clients should discuss their n��1� ���+h ^^'��a'-�ervice
representative. All expedited work must be prearranged. �i �� , ci ; i�,�l�)

We reserve the right to determine the level of technical expertise required to solve a
particular problem.
3. Contract Research and Development
Contract research and development has been an on-going activity at Lancaster Laboratories
since its inception in 1961. We have performed this service for manufacturing companies,
engineering firms, government agencies, and trade and industrial associations. Typical
examples include: product formulation and evaluation for patent and marketing purposes;
analytical method development; waste and by-product utilization studies; waste treatment
studies; identification of unknown materials; "off-taste" and "off-odor" identification; and many
other investigations in the fields of chemistry and microbiology. Special expertise is also
available in analytical support for toxicology and environmental fate studies conducted under
GLP regulations.
Reporting
Environmental Sciences
�
�
�

B
�
'
�
O
Contract research and development projects will be reported to ciients in the form of
written reports. Reports are generated at the conclusion of the project or at intervals over
the course of the project depending on the clienYs specifications. Reports include a
description of the methods and materials used, experimental results, discussion of results,
and conclusior.s based on the results. A Quality Assurance Statement as required by the
GLPs wili also be provided if the laboratory has been informed that those regulations apply
to the project.
�!�
Contract research and development projects are billed at the conclusion of the project if
completed within one month or on a monthly basis if not. When a client authorizes a
project, a project number is assigned to that project, and employee time is logged agains#
that number on a daily basis for all work done on the project. Project costs are calculated
by multiplying the employee's time by his/her hourly rate and adding a factor to account for
overhead and profit. Extraordinary costs not normally included as overhead are billed
directly to the project as they are accrued. The monthly or final invoice sent to the client
contains a list of itemized costs.
Organic Analysis
The determination of trace organic compounds is the forte of this area. Environmental samples
including soil and water are analyzed for organic contaminants at the parts per billion (ppb) level and
waste solvents, air samples collected using charcoal tubes, organic vapor badges, SUMMA
canisters, Tedlar bags, and other environmental samples are analyzed for organic contaminants at
the parts per million (ppm) level using gas chromatography. Purge and trap techniques are
employed as well as automatic sample injectors and a variety of detectors including PID, FID, and
ELCD.
Special expertise is available in the following areas:
• Analysis for monitoring petroleum contamination such as GRO, DRO, and BTEX.
• Analysis of potable water for trihalomethanes and volatile organic compounds for compliance
with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
• Analysis of groundwater, wastewater, and solids for organic pollutants.
• Identification of solvents in unknown industrial wastes.

spike/matrix spike duplicate, and laboratory control sample (�CS) analyzed with each batch of
20 samples. Surrogate and internal standards are added to each sample or extract.
F.
Organic Extraction
The organic extraction group was established to prepare samples prior to gas and high performance
liquid chromatographic analysis. The techniques employed in this group include sonication, liquid-
liquid extraction, Soxhlet extraction, and solid phase extraction. While this group was created to
support our GC and GC/MS laboratories, they can also perform contract extractions and special
sample preparations, including accelerated solvent extractions (ASE) and sample clean-up by gel
permeation chromatography. The organic extraction laboratory offers:
• Improved sample throughput due to a centralized database used for scheduling preparations
within. method and client-required holding and turnaround times.
• Solvent reclamation and recycling technology that enables us to reduce costs while protecting
the environment.
C�7
• A specially designed ventilation system that protects analysts from harmful extraction solvents.
Qualitv Assurance

for which we analyze. In addition, qua�ity control samples obtained from commercial suppliers
are analyzed periodically.
3. Quality Control: Minimally each batch of 20 samples includes a blank, a laboratory control, a
spike, and a duplicate. Additional quality control samples are run if required by the method.
E. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry
' The combination of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry detector is a powzrful tool for
analysis of complex mixtures of organic compounds. It is possible not only to separate these
compounds by chromatography, but to obtain definitive confirmation of identity by the mass
' spectrometer. The technique is widely used in analysis of groundwater, wastewater, and soils for
industrial pollutants, and in special problems where the identity of trace contaminants must be
determined.

2. Standards: All chemicals and nutrients used in microbiological testing are purchased from �
supply houses that guarantee specifications to be equal or better than required by the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), United States Public Health Service (USPHS), etc. Stains used are '"'
"biological grade" (i.e., certified by the Biological Stain Commission).
Standard cultures of microorganisms are obtained from the American Type Culture Collection
(ATCC), government agencies, medical schools, or industry.
Each new lot of inedia is challenged prior to being put into use in the laboratory.
�•-�
3. Procedures: Test procedures are based on ASTM, AOAC, BAM, and standard methods. �
Microbiological testing is less amenabie to statistical techniques of quality control than is
analytical chemistry. Many microbiological tests are qualitative, involving identification of ,...
microorganisms; while in other tests, meaningful standards are not available and substrates are
perishable. For these reasons, microbiological quality control must rely on strict control of ��
materials, test parameters (e.g., time and temperature), and individual analyst technique and
training. The following are illustrative of quality control procedures used in our laboratory. "
• Sterility checks are run on each batch of dilution water.
• Sterility and pH checks are run on each batch of inedia used.
• Airborne microbial density measurements are performed twice daily.
�
�
�
• Records are kept of inedia batch sterilizations showing lot number, date, sterilization time, � �
temperature, and initial and final pH.

III. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The major function of an independent analytical testing laboratory is to generate accurate and regulatory-
complaint technical information. In our case, the information consists of the results of chemical and
microbiological analyses, along with whatever auxiliary information is necessary for proper interpretation
and reporting.
Our clients use this information for a variety of purposes. It may be used to demonstrate compliance with
a government regulation; to evaluate material for a manufacturer; to demonstrate value or quality of a
finished product; or to decide a legal dispute. This information has a high and intrinsic value over and
above the cost of providing it to a client. Since this information is important to our clients, it is necessary
to produce it under a program which will assure that it has the necessary "quality" (i.e., that it has a degree
of accuracy that is commensurate with its intended use).
This section of the Environmental Sciences Qualifications Manual provides an overview of the quality
assurance program under which we operate. We are extremely proud of the national reputation we've
established for producing scientifically valid, accurate, precise, and regulatory compliant data. Our
comprehensive quality assurance programs have been designed to meet or exceed the applicable
regulatory requirements.
Summary of the Quality Assurance Program
The objectives of our Quality Assurance Program, as directed by corporate management are:
• To ensure quality control procedures are established so data generated in the laboratory is within
acceptable limits of precision and accuracy.
• To ensure procedures are established to document that these quality control measures are, in fact,
being carried out.
• To ensure procedures are established which minimize the possibility of loss, damage, or tampering
with the data.
• To ensure that all significant laboratory problems are investigated and corrective action is
documented.
• To ensure that all procedures are controlled and current.

K. Good Laboratory Practice
Qualifications Manual
While all of the testing performed at Lancaster Laboratories meets generally accepted good
laboratory practices, as described in the Quality Assurance section of this manual, certain testing
supports applications for research or marketing permits for products or chemicals regulated by the
FDA and the EPA. These studies require strict adherence to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
regulations, which includes additional requirements such as maintenance of a GLP master schedule,
critical phase inspection by the quality assurance group, additional archival stipulations, Quality
Assurance audits of raw data and final reports, and QA Statements. Studies performed employ a
variety of instrumentation and detectors depending on the analyte type.
Special expertise is available for:
• Analysis of carriers (such as feed, water or soil) which have been fortified with the test substance
to ensure that the test system is dosed in accordance with protocols. This type of analysis often
supports toxicology studies being performed at other contract facilities. Carriers may also be
analyzed to ensure that interfering contaminants are not present.
Qualitv Assurance
Instrument calibration, standards, and quality control are as specified in protocols which are
developed on a per-project basis.

complete written instructions for performing each standard test, are the basis for our analytical testing �
program. In addition to the actual procedure, each method includes safety and quality control information.
Every standard method is assigned a unique identification number to ensure traceabiliry. Copies of the ~�
methods are readily available to analysts in the lab. f.�
SOP-QA-106, "Validation and Authorization of Analytical Methods" - Although our routine testing
procedures are based on official or standard methods whenever possible, laboratory personnel must
verify that acceptable precision and accuracy are obtainable before management will approve the use of
any method. Validation studies may include the use of standard reference materials, fortified samples, or
replicate analyses.
SOP-QA-107, "Analytical Methods for Non-standard Analys.es" - Frequently, clients request analyses
which are not regularly performed in our laboratory although we have the technical capabilities to do so. ��
In these instances, methods may be supplied by the client, dictated by regulations, derived from scientific
literature, or developed in the laboratory. In any case, special procedures must be followed to ensure that °—
the method used is thoroughly documented. In addition, records of validation or quality control samples `
performed are maintained.
SOP-QA-108, "Subcontracting to Other Laboratories" - For the convenience of our clients, some analyses
which we do not perform may be subcontracted to other laboratories. These laboratories must submit
evidence of their qualifications to us. Wherever possible, laboratories certified by appropriate agencies
will be used. Results produced by subcontracted laboratories will always be designated as such on our
laboratory reports.
SOP-QA-109, "Laboratory Notebooks, Logbooks, and Documentation" - All data which is manually
acquired in the laboratory is entered into bound notebooks. Distribution of notebooks to personnel is
controlled, with a master file kept of the recipient of the notebook, date issued, date returned, and place of
storage of completed notebooks. Personnel are instructed in the proper method of data entry. All entries
are made in ink, dated, and signed. Blank pages or substantial portions of pages are canceled out.
Periodic review and signing of notebooks by supervisors are also required. Requirements for
documentation of computer-generated data are also listed in this SOP.

• All the reagents and standards used during the procedure
The administration of our Quality Assurance Program is the responsibility of the Quality Assurance Officer
in cooperation with all levels of management. The Quality Assurance Officer reports directly to the
President of the laboratory, thus ensuring that corrective actions are taken immediately for any quality
problems. The Quality Assurance Officer does not have any direct supervisory responsibility for the
generation of technical data to avoid any "conflict of interesY' which could interfere with the Quality
Assurance Program.
The Responsibilities of the Quality Assurance Unit Include:
• Perform comprehensive audits of laboratory and support areas
• Review and approve standard operating procedures
• Monitor current cGMP and GLP activities
• Work closely with clients and regulatory agencies in auditing our facilities
• Correspond with clients and regulatory agencies
• Train laboratory and support personnel in EPA, cGMP, and GLP regulations
• Perform quality assurance functions directed by the GLP regulations
• Monthly and Quarterly Qua�ity Status Reports to management
� All GLP studies are inspected by the Lancaster Laboratories Quality Assurance Unit. Inspection reports
are circulated to Lancaster Laboratories management as well as the Study Director and Study Director
management. Raw data and final reports are reviewed by the QAU for completeness and accuracy. QA
� Statements and Compliance Statements (where applicable) are issued. Instrument calibration, standards,
and quality control are specified in protocols which are developed on a per-project basis.
�
�
The Quality Assurance Department is also responsible for preparing quality assurance project plans
required by EPA and reviewing plans submitted to us by clients. Auditing of data packages is also
performed by Quality Assurance personnel.
Quality Assurance Standard Operating Procedures:
The formal structure of our Quality Assurance Program is described in a set of standard operating
� procedures (SOPs). Copies of these SOPs are distributed to each technical group leader and they are
available to all laboratory personnel. The following is a list of our current Quality Assurance (QA) SOPs,
with a brief description of each:
�

�'
'
SOP-QA-101, "Sample Collection" - In order for meaningful analytical data to be produced, the samples
must be representative of the system from which they are drawn. Our samplers are trained and use
written sampling procedures. Sample containers are chosen according to the analyses to be performed
and are labeled to fully identify each sample. Where necessary, chemical preservatives and temperature-
adjusted storage during transport to the laboratory are employed.
SOP-QA-102, "Sample Log-in" - To ensure accountability of results, each sample is assigned a unique
sample identification number which is referenced in all pertinent laboratory documentation. Information
corresponding to sample identity is logged with this sample number and included on the analysis report.
SOP-QA-103, "Sample Storage and Discard" - Because sample integrity can be compromised by
improper storage, samples are maintained in various locations to prevent d�terioration. Locations are
assigned in refrigerators, freezers, and at room temperature as needed to asu I,

be encountered. The laboratory must ensure all problems are investigated, documented, and corrective '
action put into place to prevent reoccurrence. �
SOP-QA-123, "Missed Holding Time Reports "- EPA-mandated holding times require prompt sample
submission and analysis for many tests. Samples missing analysis holding times are investigated and
corrective action taken, if necessary. Reports are maintained to keep management informed of
nonconformance.
..,,
SOP-QA-124, "External Audits "- Because clients and regulatory agencies place great importance on ��
compiiance with applicable regulations, data quality, and project requirements, they choose to audit our
laboratory as an assurance that their objectives are being met by the laboratory. Laboratory personnel ,..�
play a key role in these audits to ensure the audit runs smoothly and all questions are answered in a
timely manner. �-.9
SOP-QA-125, "Document Control "- Control of laboratory created documents, including tracking, filing, """
updating, and distribution is critical to laboratory operations. The administration of the document control y
system is carried out by the Office Services Department under the direction of Quality Assurance. This
procedure does not apply to client-supplied analytical methods/procedures and documents. .
SOP-QA-126, "Qualification and Validation Documentation for Laboratory Instrumentation and Equipment" °�'
- Instrument and equipment testing is the process of executing experiments to measure its performance
characteristics following documented procedures. One of the most important aspects of validation is ''
establishing documented evidence of the results. �
SOP-QA-127, "Handling of Client Technical Complaints (Investigations and Response)" - The data that ...,,
the laboratory supplies to our clients must be technically complete, accurate, and compliant with
applicable regulations. When a complaint is received by the laboratory, it must be addressed promptly �
and investigated completely. Documentation is maintained to support the finding and corrective action
where appropriate. Explanatory letters are issued to our clients. '
�
SOP-QA-128, "Compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Regulations" - When analytical work
falls within the scope of the GLP regulations, specific information must be provided to the Quality ..,
Assurance Unit to ensure the additional quality assurance requirements mandated by the regulatory
agencies are met. These additional considerations include items such as the GLP Master Schedule, -�
study inspections, raw data/report review, and preparation of quality assurance statements.
"1
SOP-QA-129, "Writing Standard Operating Procedures" - Written instructions for performing all major _�
tasks are available in the laboratories, including instrument maintenance and calibration. Clear
documentation of procedures ensures that laboratory personnel perform tasks correctly and consistently. _.,
This procedure describes the writing, approval, and control of SOPs. �
�
Accountability of Results
The term accountability as applied to testing results refers to the procedures followed to assure that the
data reported refers to the sample submitted. In other words, there has been no sample mix-up and the
sample has been properly handled in its transit through the laboratory to minimize changes in chemical
composition or bacteriological quality.
��
At Lancaster Laboratories, we rely on our computerized Sample Management System to track and control �,�
movement of samples from the time of receipt until disposal. The system works as follows: '
�
Samples are received at the laboratory in one of four ways: by personal delivery, by mail, common
carrier, or by sample pickup by laboratory personnel. All samples are received by personnel of the �°,
Sample Administration Group, wha are responsible for sample log-in and tracking. The first step, after
sample receipt, is entry into our Sample Management System, with the exception of samples for stability '"�
storage, which are tracked using a database. Samples are logged into the computer along with pertinent �.
information (e.g., the client's name, account number, client designation or description, and analyses

Environmental Sciences Qualifications Manual
SOP-QA-113, "Data Entry, Verification, and Reporting of Results" - In order to minimize errors, data
reduction and transcription is computerized wherever possible. Analysts log their data into the computer
for reporting to clients and results are then reviewed by a supervisor or the supervisor's designee before
reporting to clients.
SOP-QA-114, "Data Storage, Security, and Archiving" - The data generated in our laboratories is a
valuable commodity, purchased by our clients. In order to provide traceability, data is stored in an orderly
fashion under controlled access so that loss, deterioration, or tampering is prevented. Copies of reports
are maintained for ten years, while raw data is maintained for a minimum of 10 years.
' SOP-QA-115, "Quality Control Records" - The term quality control is used to denote those laboratory
procedures whose purpose is to ensure that the analytical system is in control within established limits of
accuracy and precision. Quality control procedures for each analysis are documented in the written
method. Where applicable, results of quality control analyses are subjected to statistical evaluation to
� detect trends and outliers. Documentation of quality control samples is maintained on our Sample
Managernent System computer.
� SOP-QA-116, "Investigation and Corrective Action of Unacceptable Quality Control Data" - One of the
most effective means for maintaining the production of high quality data is to respond immediately to
indications of suspicious data or equipment malfunctions. Whenever results from quality control samples
fall outside of established limits, the cause of the irregularity is investigated and corrected as soon as
1 possible. Documentation of these activities is then used to prevent future occurrences of the problem.
This procedure refers specifically to results from quality control data.
�
�
�
�

�I
�
SOP-QA-117, "Personnel Training Records and Curriculum Vitaes" - Supervisors are required to maintain
personnel training records of all personnel under their supervision. Training records for technicians
indicate the date on which they were considered to be proficient in various laboratory techniques or in
various analytical methods. Training records for professionals indicate special training or education
received over and above their educational qualifications.
SOP-QA-118, "Quality Assurance Audits" - To ensure that laboratory personnel are following the
procedures set forth in our Quality. Assurance Operations Manual, periodic checks of each group are
made by the Quality Assurance Department. These audits may entail observation as procedures are
carried out or a review of records to demonstrate traceability and compliance with all documented
recordkeeping procedures. Reports of the findings of these audits are made to management, and a
response detailing corrective action is provided by the supervisor.
SOP-QA-119, "Proficiency Samples" - Analysis of proficiency samples is performed routinely as required
by the various programs which certify our laboratory operations. In addition, samples are obtained from
various organizations that conduct collaborative studies or provide reference materials. Quality control
samples are also submitted blind to analysts so that they may be analyzed without bias which may be
introduced by known quality control samples.
SOP-QA-120, "Documentation for the Computerized Sample Management System" - The computerized
Sample Management System is used to perform calculations which convert raw data to the final result
reported to our clients. Thus the computer code is part of the chain of documentation relating to each
sample and must be recorded. All new or modified programming on this system is tested prior to use in
the laboratory and records of the tests are maintained.
SOP-QA-121, "Quality Assurance Guidelines for Computers and Computerized Systems" - The design
and development of software systems used to acquire and process data in the laboratories is a
responsibility that is distributed among various groups within our laboratory. To maintain consistency of
documentation and to ensure that all programs function correctly, guidelines for development, validation,
and maintenance of quality computer software are provided. These guidelines are consistent with GLP
requirements.

� necessary storage conditions (e.g., refrigeration, freezing, etc.). The computer then assigns a storage
location where the sample will be kept until analysis is begun and prints a label which is immediately
attached to the sample container. The information contained on the label includes sample number, client
designation, tests scheduled, and a bar code. The computer also assigns a storage time or disposal date
which varies according to the nature of the sample or with specific instructions from the client. The
database, which is thus automatically generated, is used in many ways. For example, each group leader
receives a daily printout, which lists all samples and analyses waiting to be run in the laboratory. This is of
� inestimable value in planning and organizing the workload. The date of sample collection is also available
through the computer to ensure that holding times are met, where applicable.

When a sample is to be analyzed, it is retrieved from the designated storage space by the analyst or by a
member of the Sample Support Group if storage is in a controlled-access area. During analysis, raw data
is recorded in ink in bound notebooks or on printouts from instruments and then entered into the computer
against sample number and analytical method number. Many instruments are connected directly to the
Sample Management System, eliminating manual transcription. The computer performs many of the
calculations to avoid a common source of error. When all analyses are completed and have been verified
by a supervisor or designee, the computer generates a report. The client receives a copy of the report
containing the resutts of the analysis plus comments entered by the analyst where necessary. Copies of
reports and associated raw data are retained in our archives.
The following page is a copy of a simulated report. Note that opposite each reported result is a code
number, which identifies the analytical method used. In addition, to avoid ambiguity in interpreting results,
the reverse side of the clienYs copy of the report contains an explanation of all symbols and units used in
reporting data. The report also contains the name of the person who reviewed the final report. In addition
to the basic analysis reports, data is available in other formats which include various levels of raw data
and quality control information. Results may also be supplied electronically on diskette.
In the case of samples which are likely to be involved in litigation or a legal dispute, more stringent sample
handling procedures are available upon request. Strict chain-of-custody procedures are followed. The
delivery of the sample is documented, the sample is kept under locked storage, and photographs or
videotapes may be used to document the condition of the sample or visual aspects of the test. After
analysis, samples will be returned.to the client or disposed of at his/her written request.

Tests results relate only to the sample tested. Clients should be aware that a critical step in a chemical or
microbiological analysis is the collection of the sample. Unless the sample analyzed is truly representative of the bulk
of material involved, the test results will be meaningless. If you have questions regarding the proper techniques of
collecting samples, please contact us. We cannot be held responsible for sample integrity, however, unless sam-
pling has been performed by a member of our staff. This report shall not be reproduced except in full, without the
written approval of the laboratory.
WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY - In accepting analytical work, we warrant the accuracy of test re-
sults for the sample as submitted. We disclaim any other warranties, express or implied, including a Warranty of Fit-
ness for Particular Purpose and Warranty of Merchantability. We accept no responsibility for the purpose for which
the•client uses the test results. No purchase order or other order for work shall be accepted by the company with
any conditions that vary from our Standard Terms and Conditions. If Lancaster Laboratories performs work re-

Assurance Department to check for trends which may indicate method bias. Control charts are
plotted via computer and may be accessed at any time by all analysts.
These programs have been found to be invaluable in monitoring our analytical procedures and
detecting situations where a system was trending toward loss of control before the problem
became serious enough to affect the integrity of the sample results.
Blind Samples
For many of the more common analyses performed in our food and environmental laboratories,
the Quality Assurance Department periodically submits blind samples to the laboratory using a
pseudo client name. These blind samples are similar to control samples, and results are
reported directly to the Quality Assurance Department for data evaluation. Summaries of the
data are prepared periodically and reported to the group leaders and the Director of Laboratory
Operations. The value of the blind sample system lies in the fact that the analysts are unaware
that they are analyzing a quality control sample, thereby avoiding unconscious bias in
performing the analysis.
Proficiency Sample Testing
Proficiency samples and check samples are samples submitted to the laboratory by an outside
organization. The concentration of certain analytes is known to the outside organization but not
to the laboratory. The laboratory is required to analyze the samples for the indicated analytes.
The proficiency sample testing programs are part of an accreditation process, and results of
samples must be within limits defined as acceptable by the submitting organization, or the
laboratory may lose its accreditation. In the case of check sample programs, participation is
voluntary, and results are used to compare the laboratory's competence to other participating
laboratories. The following is a list of proficiency testing and check sample programs in which

Quality Control
Qualifications Manual
Analysis of Blank, Spiked, Duplicate, Reference, and Control Samples
'
'
'
�
Each specific analytical method includes the particular quality control requirements performed to
ensure that the data produced is of known quality. In addition to the necessary calibration
standards, these quality control checks may consist of one or several different types of checks.
Blanks, spikes, duplicates, reference materials, and control samples are employed, as
appropriate for the analysis. The general criteria for the use of each of these types are outlined
below.
Blanks are analyzed with most types of analyses to prevent reporting of false positives caused
by factors in the laboratory system. Blanks are prepared and analyzed using the same
reagents and equipment as the samples in the batch the blank represents. Acceptance criteria
for blanks are based on the laboratory quantitation limit.
Spiked samples are samples fortified with a known amount of target analyte and subjected to
� the entire analytical procedure. The recovery of the analyte(s) is calculated and indicates the
appropriateness of the method for the matrix. Many of the analyses in Environmental Sciences
employ the special category of quality control samples known as matrix spike duplicates. This
� is the analysis of a pair of fortified samples from the same source. The use of matrix spike
duplicates yields precision information as well as recovery. The acceptance criteria for percent
recovery on spiked samples is based on EPA or other agency recommendation or past
information generated in our laboratories.
�
�
Duplicate sample analysis is the analysis of the same sample twice in order to determine the
precision of the analysis. The relative percent difference (RPD) between the two determinations
is calculated and compared to values prescribed by EPA or determined by statistical analysis of
past information generated in our laboratories.
Reference materials are samples which contain a known amount of target analyte. These are
� routinely analyzed to ensure accuracy of the analytical procedure. The reference materials may
be from NIST or commercially prepared or they may be prepared in our own laboratories.
Accuracy information determined from reference materials is valuable because variables
� specific to sample matrix are eliminated. The acceptance criteria for this type of quality control
is either dictated by the agency from whom the material is obtained or by statistical analysis of
past information generated in our laboratories.
�
Control samples are similar to reference materials except that the true value of the target
analyte is not known with specific degrees of confidence. Acceptance criteria is developed by
applying statistical techniques to repetitive determinations.
In addition, many of our chromatographic analyses employ surrogate and internal standards to
evaluate analytical efficiency. The acceptance criteria for the recovery of these compounds is
the same as that listed above for spiked samples.
�
�
�
�
�
The results of all quality control samples are entered into the computer in the same way as the
results of client samples. The computer is programmed to compare the individual values with
the acceptance limits and inform the analyst if the results of the quality control tests are in or out
of specification. If the results are not within the acceptance criteria, corrective action suitable to
the situation must be taken. This may include, but is not limited to, checking calculations,
examining other quality control analyzed with the same batch of samples, qualifying results with
a comment stating the observed deviation, and reanalysis of the samples in the batch. Daily
reports of quality control outliers are generated by the computerized system to keep
management informed. The cause and solution to the problem are documented to prevent
recurrence. In addition, computerized reports on the results for all quality control analyses
including mean and standard deviation are generated monthly. ThPGP arp � ��p�+ h., +ho �uality

I IV. INSTRUMENTATION
Qualifications Manua!
� The following list summarizes our major instrumentation or instruments which demonstrate specific
capabilities. We are continuously updating our equipment and instrumentation capabilities to serve our
clients fully and to keep up with advances in technology. In addition, we have numerous other instruments
� (e.g., pN meters and analytical balances), and support equipment (e.g., ovens, centrifuges, incubators,
autoclaves, muffle furnaces, etc.). We also have walk-in refrigerators for sample storage and a reverse
osmosis, deionized water system, which is U.V. sterilized and continuously circulating to all laboratories.
A 75 KVA electric generator is available on a standby basis to supply electrical power to selected areas of
� the laboratory in case of a power outage. 7o reduce spikes and spurious line voltage changes to
instruments which can affect results or damage electronic equipment, "conditioned power" is fed to all
sensitive instruments (e.g., GCs, HPLCs, GC/MSs). All essential computer hardware is on
� "uninterruptable power," a battery system, which provides continuous conditioned power in the event of a
sho�t power outage and is also backed up by an emergency generator.
The automated storage and retrieval system as well as all of our stability chambers are protected by
monitoring systems which continuously record temperature and various other environmental parameters.
An alarm is triggered whenever conditions are outside accep#able ranges.
� Information regarding maintenance and calibration is found in respective SOPs. The SOPs include the
schedule for calibration, routine maintenance and operation, along with acceptance criteria and remedial
action to be taken in the event of instrument failure. All maintenance and calibration information is
documented to substantiate the instrument condition during the time it was used for testing.

'
At Lancaster Laboratories, we track and control movement of samples from the time of receipt until the
samples are returned to our clients. A flow-through diagram is presented in the front of this manual.
Sample Submission and Entry
Samples are received at our laboratories in one of four ways: O personal delivery, O mail, O common
courier, or O laboratory courier service. All samples are received by Sample Administration personnel,
who are responsible for sample unpacking and log-in. During unpacking, samples are inspected for
breakage, paperwork agreement, and temperature. All samples are assigned a unique identification
number and labeled with pertinent client information (e.g., client name, account number, client designation
or description, and analyses requested). Report recipients, invoicing information, disposal, and special
laboratory instructions are also included as entry information. The client receives a verification notice of
this entry. The samples are then placed into a storage location where they are stored until they are
analyzed. Samples and standards are stored under the conditions required by the clients, vendors, and/or
regulatory agencies and methods. After analysis is complete, the remaining sample is returned to the
client upon request or properly discarded.
Sample Storage
Sample Support personnel supply environmental clients with sample bottles and mailing kits, perform
preservation checks and homogenization on samples, maintain the central locked storage facility, and
dispose of samples upon completion of the analytical work. The department maintains 200 square feet of
freezer space, 3430 square feet of refrigerated space, including 2740 square feet equipped for automated
sample retrieval. Samples may be stored in the laboratory automated sample storage and retrieval
system or assigned storage locations within the laboratory.
Sample Reporting
When all analyses are completed, the results are reviewed and approved by technical personnel prior to
mailing. In addition to the hard copy of the analytical report, data is available in a variety of formats.
Fax - Reports can be faxed as soon as all data is reviewed, approved and formatted.
Customized Spreadsheet or Report - A customized spreadsheet or report can be made to accommodate a
project in Excel or Word.
QC Summary Report - The results for the laboratory quality control samples that were analyzed along
with each sample group is provided.
Laboratory Chronicle - The method reference, date analyzed, and analyst are listed for each parameter for
every sample.
Data Package - A variety of data package types are available containing copies of sample raw data and
quality control information, indexed and formatted to meet client and/or agency requirements.

VII. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
�
��
Our firm was founded in 1961 by Dr. Earl H. Hess in response to a perceived need for high quality �
technical services by the agricultural and industrial community in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Initial staff •
consisted of Dr. Hess, one technician, and Mrs. Hess as a part-time secretary and bookkeeper. Our
organization reached its present size of over 650 people through continual growth, which has required 10 ^~�
expansions of the physical plant.
�
In 1995, Lancaster Laboratories was acquired by Thermo Process Systems Inc., a Thermo Electron
company. Thermo Electron is a publicly held company.
The organizational structure of our Environmental Sciences Unit is shown on charts located on the
following pages. Resumes of key technical personnel can be found in Appendix B. ��
Our second shift operates from approximately 4:30 p.m. to 1 a.m., Monday through Friday, while our third �
shift works from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., Sunday through Thursday. In addition, some groups require technical _
staff on Saturday and Sunday to maintain their operations. The operating hours of personnel on various
shifts overlap to ensure good communications and continuity of operations. �
Second and third shift personnel are responsible for a variety of duties. In addition to performing certain "�
standard analytical tests, they are responsible for sample preparation steps such as sample digestion for �
trace element analyses. This shortens the time for turnaround on multiple, repetitive analyses, thus
improving our efficiency. They are also responsible for glassware cleaning, glassware and instrument ,,,,
set-up for the day-shift personnel, autoclaving, media preparation, and certain building maintenance
services. Clients with emergency problems occurring in off-hours can be accommodated with certain �
services (e.g., sample receipt or early alerting of group leaders to the need for RUSH analyses).

VIII. FACILITIES
Qualifications Manual
The physical facility is located on a four-acre lot on Pennsylvania Route 23 (2425 New Holland Pike)
about five miles northeast of the City of Lancaster, PA. In addition to a major building complex, there are
four auxiliary buildings housing a general maintenance shop, archives, stability storage, preparation area,
auto maintenance, and storage areas; solvent storage sheds located at some distance from the other
buildings; and waste storage facilities.
The main building complex has a total area of 140,000 square feet including laboratories, offices,
refrigerated and room-temperature sample skorage areas, library, data processing center, employees'
lunch room, and conference rooms. The facility has undergone 10 expansions to accommodate our
growing staff. The most recent addition completed in 1998, includes a significant amount of undeveloped
space to allow for future growth.
The air-handling system for the main laboratory is specially designed to protect sensitive instruments from
harmful vapors to ensure that samples are not contaminated. In addition, sample preparations and
instrumental analyses are performed in separate rooms.
The building is protected by a sophisticated security and fire alarm system. All outside doors, except the
main entrance, are kept locked at all times to prevent unauthorized entry. Employees are issued cards
which allow them to enter the building, and the main entrance is monitored by an attendant who registers
visitors during normal business hours. During weekends and second and third shift operations, all doors
are locked and personnel assigned to security are on duty to prevent unauthorized entry into the
laboratory and to accept packages.
An automated storage and retrieval system is housed in the largest walk-in refrigerator. The system
combines robotic cranes, carousels, computers, and bar codes to allow samples to be tracked, stored,
and retrieved efficiently without entering the refrigerated area.

X. CERTIFICATIONS, ACCREDITATIONS, AND
REGISTRATIONS
Accreditation is the process by which an agency or organization evaluates and recognizes a laboratory as
' meeting certain predetermined qualifications and/or standards. The terms certification, registrafion, and
others have been used in the past and are currently being used by some organizations, as synonyms for
accreditation, but in recent years a consensus has been reached to restrict the term accreditafion to
' laboratories and other organizations and to reserve certification to individuals (e.g., Certified Industrial
Hygienist, Certified Public Accountant, or to products which conform to certain standards or
specifications).

Accreditation is thus the one generally accepted method by which a laboratory such as ours can
dernonstrate its capability of generating acceptable, professional, quality test results in those areas in
which it claims competence. To this end, we have actively sought accreditation by organizations offering it
in those areas relevant to our technical expertise.
Although organizations offering accreditation differ somewhat in the details of their programs, they
generally evaluate laboratories in four basic areas: personnel (education, training, and experience),
physical facilities, instrumentation/equipment, and quality assurance programs. The evaluation is
performed by one or more of the following procedures: periodic on-site inspection of the laboratory by
assessors experienced in technical operations and management, periodic testing of proficiency evaluation
samples, and periodic updating of the laboratory's file to reflect changes in personnel, equipment, or
services offered.
The following lists the accreditations, registrations, and contracts held by Lancaster Laboratories in
support of environmental work (current as of September 1, 1999):
• American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA): A2LA is a private-sector, non-profit
organization whose sole mission is accrediting laboratories in 12 fields of testing. Lancaster
Laboratories is accredited in the environmental field of testing. Certificate #0001-01.
• American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA): AIHA accredits laboratories for their ability to
analyze collection media used in air pollution sampling for a broad variety of industrial workplace
contaminants. Accreditation #8477.
• Department of Defense (DOD): We have project-based approval experience in compliance with the
requirements of the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC), the Air Force Center for
Environmental Excellence (AFCEE), and the Missouri River Division of the Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE).
• EPA Contract Laboratory Program (CLP): This program is not truly an accreditation program,
although many people consider it a de facto accreditation. In order to receive an EPA contract to
perform laboratory work in support of Superfund investigations, a laboratory must successfully bid on
a contract, obtain acceptable results on performance samples, and pass an on-site inspection by EPA
officials. Lancaster Laboratories has participated as a Routine Analytical Services contract laboratory
for organics analysis and also performs Special Analytical Services (SAS) for the EPA-CLP.
• State Environmental Authorities: We are accredited in the following states, by the appropriate
authorities, for the analysis of drinking water and, where applicable, for wastewat�r analyses:
• Alabama Department of Environmental Management (drinking water), Identification #41080.
� • Arizona Department of Health Services (drinking water, wastewater, hazard ��,,j,,= �., �^ r�i-�

regulatory or legal body, the client is promptly notified. Likewise, the client
agrees to respect all such relationships of trust. Client agrees it will not use
Lancaster Laboratories' name and/or data in any manner which might cause
harm to Lancaster Laboratories' reputation and/or business. Under no

without its approval in w�iting.
Contracts ... All contracts are subject ta review and approval by Lancaster's
legal department and must be signed by a corporate officer.
Payment Terms ... Payment in advance is required for all Gients except
those whose credit has been established with our company. For clients with
Lancaster-approved credit, our standard terms are net 30 days, after which
time a 1-1/2% per month late charge or the maximum amount permitted by
law (if less) is added to all unpaid balances. Any deviation in payment terms
must be agreed to in writing. Lancaster has the right to ask for payment in
advance, if the established payment terms are not adhered to. Lancaster

Billing ... Ali fees are charged or billed directly to the client. The billing of a
third party will not be accepted without a statement, signed by the third party,
which acknowiedges and accepts payment responsibility. It is necessary for
us to assume that the paperwork submitted with a sample describes the
testing protocol desired. Any changes to this protocol must be submitted to
Lancaster in writing. However, if changes are made after the originally
requested testing is initiated or has been completed, the Gient must accept
payment responsibility. We cannot be responsible for holding times that are
exceeded due to such changes. Please send or fax all requests for changes
to: "Client Services — URGENT!"
�Rush Analyses ... A surcharge is usually added to the list fee if rush anaiysis

sample. The surcharge will depend upon the analysis to be performed. Rush
analysis service is offered contingent upon availability and prearrangement
with our Client Services Group.

quality data and data package is always first priority for the
laboratory. GD AIR TESTING, INC. has the following program to
``� make its quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) associate
� with all the data reported.
� Chain of Custody Record: A chain of Custody will be associated
- with all the samples. GD AIR TESTING, INC. designed a chain of
F custody record, which is a duplicate copy for client sampling
�, records. Client may use their own chain of custody design but all
the samples should be associated with a chain to make sure
� samples are correctly recorded.
Protocols: GD AIR TESTING, INC. performs all the air testing
projects according to EPA, NIOSH, OSHA, ASTM and other
standard protocols with the exception of customer research
projects. GD AIR TESTING, INC. will follow QA/QC protocols
set by USEPA guidelines and specified QC in the standard

� The General QC Issue: All the reports from GD AIR TESTING,
INC. will be associated with QC reports. The general QC for most
�....
methods are but not limited as follows:
�.�
�
Calibration: Initial calibrations of at least three points are
performed on the initial instrument set up or when continuing
calibration verification fails. GD AIR TESTING, INC. usually
performs five point initial calibration for most methods.
Continuing calibration verification (CCV) will be performed daily
according the method specification.
� Method Blanks: GD AIR TESTING. INC. will report method
blank associated with all the sample report. The method blank
� should be performed daily or whenever carry over occurs. The
daily blank is also used to adjust the report limits for target
� compounds in case of background hits found in the blanks
especially at very low levels.
� Blank Spike and Blank Spike Duplicate (BS/BSD): GD AIR
r TESTING, INC. reports the BS/BSD as our regular QA/QC
L package associated with sample reports. The spiked compounds
and control limit are based on each methodology requirement. The
� BS/BSD standard basically is from a secondary source. In cases
when a secondary source is not readily available, a different
� dilution batch of the daily standard will be used.
Surrogate Spike: For all the internal standard calculation
`" methods, GD AIR TESTING, INC. will spike the surrogate
standards for analysis check. The surrogate recovery is also
�� reported with the client sam le re orts.

Article 601g of Vernon's Texas Civil Statues (1985) applies to the award of contracts to
non-resident contractors (out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices or principal
place of business are outside of the State of Texas) who are required to proposal projects
for construction, improvements, supplies or services in Texas at an amount lower than the
lowest Texas resident contractors would be required to under proposal a non-resident
contractor in order to obtain a comparable contract in the state in which the non-resident's
principal place of business is located. The appropriate blanks in Section A below must be
filled out by all out-of-state or non-resident contractors in order for their submittal to meet
specifications. The failure of out-of-state or non-resident contractors to do so will
automatically disqualify that contractor. Resident contractors must check the box in
Section B below.
A. Non-resident contractors in (give state), our principal place of
business, are required to be percent lower than resident
contractors by state law. A copy of the statute is attached.
�
Non-resident contractors in (give state), our principal place of
business, are NOT required to underbid resident contractors.

RE: ERMI Environmental Laboratories
Laboratory Standard Operating Procedures Document
Dear Mr. Brungazdt:
On March 19, 1996, the TNRCC Municipal Solid Waste Division, Ground-Water Monitoring
Team received your responses to our letter of January 10, 1996, regarding ERMI laboratory
standard operating procedures (LSOP) documents. The responses were submitted under your
cover letter dated March 15, 1996, and included a revised Table of Consrituents, Tesr Merhods,
and Pracrical Quanritation Limits.
Review of the referenced submittal has been completed. The LSOP documents are hereby
approved, provided that the following comments are noted:

For ease of inspection, you may wish to prepare additional tables summarizing quality-
control (QC) samples (including calibration samples) with corresponding frequencies of
analysis, acceptance criteria, corrective actions, etc. It may be most helpful to prepare
separate tables for each type of analysis (metals by ICP, metals by atomic absorption,
individual organic methods, etc.).
.• - � •� � -� u- ��• .�• •r. • .� . •� u 1'•
We note that the laboratory has elevated PQLs of 10 �cg/L for antimony (maximum
contaminant level (MCL] for diinking water is 6 µg1L), and 4.5 µg/L for thallium (MCL
is 2�cg/L). Please reduce these quantitation limits to levels that are no greater than the
corresponding MCLs.

'� As mentioned in our previous letter, we note that the laboratory has an elevated PQL of
� 4.3 µg/L for vinyl chloride - though the preferred PQL is 2�cg/L, we can accept a PQL
as high as 5 µg/L. Also, we note elevated PQLs of 3.9 �cg/L for 1,2-dibromo-3-
� chloropropane (DBCP) (preferred PQL is 2�,g/L), and 2.2 µg/L for 1,2-dibromoethane
� (IDB) (slighdy g�ater than the preferred PQL of 2 µg/L). VJe se� that lower quantitation
limits ar� available at F1tMI by using a 25-m1 purge. Please remember that if the higher
reporting limits are used, we request that any quantifiable amount below the PQL be
� � flagged to show that the compound is present but below the PQL. Documentation on the
„. two lowest calibration points and the NIDL for the compound should accompany the results
� in such situations. Also, separate confirmation of detected compounds may be necessary.
Please note that active municipal solid waste landfills that monitor ground-water must include a
capy of the ISOP (as part of the Gtound-VJater Sampling and Analysis Plan) in the facility's Site
Development Plan. Therefore, ERMI should provide MSVJ clients with the two ISOP documents
�ferreti to here: (1) ERMI Environmenral Laborarory Qualiry Assurance Plan (January 1993); and
(2) the set of Attachments submitted to ihe TNRCC under your cover letter dated March 15, 1996
(including the revised Table of Consrituents, Test Methods, and Practical Quantitarion Limits).
Also, these documents should be updated or replaced if inethods, criteria, etc. are changed.
� ff you have any questions about this letter, please call Mr. Arten J. Avakian, Geologist, at (512)
� 239-4419.

2. Generally, samples must be analyzed using methods that under rourine condirions «zll achieve
4 .
PQLs equal to or less than established MCLs or acrion levels (ALs) for drinl:ing water. For those
�- constituents that do not have established MCLs or ALs (or if MCLs or ALs are much hi,,n.her than
rypical laboratory detection limits), appropriate methods should be chosen «zth PQLs that «zll
� avoid mas�;ing detecrion at low concentrations and will be protective of human health and the
.� environment.
J 3. If PQLs equal to or less than MCLs (or ALs) cannot be achieved, �ve request that an}� amount
�, detected below the PQL (or AL) be estimated and reported, and flagged to indicate that the result
is an estimate. The value of the MDL shouid be specified on the repor form und distinguished

June 22, 1998
On Tuesday, June 16, 1998, I performed a qualiry assurance inspection at ER1�1I
Environmental Laboratories. As a Texas Namral Resource Conservation Commission
(T�RCC) Qualiry Assurance Specialist, it is my responsibiliry to verify that all data reponed
to the agency meet the qualiry control criteria specified in our regulations. The purpose of rhis
inspection was to review the analytical and qualiry control procedures emplQ}•ed at the
laboratory as they relate to analyses performed under the TNRCC wastewacez monitorin�,
hazardous waste monitoring, underground storage tank, or Clean Rivers proorams.
The TI�IRCC is dedicated to protecting the State's water resources and environment. The
TNRCC intends to enforce ag=ressively all permits and rules under the jurisdiction of the
aQency, including the rules pertaining to the self-monitoring programs for waste�vater and for
solid and hazardous wastes. There are certain minimum guidelines that each laboratory
reponin� data to the TNRCC must meet.. The TNRCC may refuse to accept data from
laboratories that do not meet TNRCC requirements.
` The following areas of the laboratory were inspected: sample receiving and storage,
�� � preparation and extraction procedures, analysis, qualiry control, documentation and record
keeping. My recommendations are listed below:

RECOMMENDATIOKS
Record Keeping:
' 1. Some of the logbooks or computez printouts did not have che initials of the analyst that
" performed the test.
�
� Corrective Action: All records must con�ain the initials oi the analyst for complete
' traceability to the person performing the analysis or preparing the solution.
2. A record of the extractor rotation speed and room temperature for TCLP extraction was
not maintained.
Corrective Action: According to SW-846, 3rd edition, Method 1311, 7.2.11, the
sample must be rotated at 30 ± 2 rpm for 18 ± 2 hours ac 23 = 2°C. A record to
document this should be maintained.
Analvsis:
3. The filters for the total suspended solids (TSS) analysis are not being reweished until a
constant wei�ht is achieved (at least two weighings) as required in htethod 2510 D of
. Standard Methods, 18th ed.
Corrective Action: The filters must under�o at le�st t��•o cvcles of drvina. coolin�,
desiccatin�, and weighin� until a constant wei�ht is achieved as describrd in the methoci.
4. For TCLP ZHE extractions, extraction blanl:s were not processed ac the corre�c
frequency.
Corrective Action: According to SW-8�t6, 3rd ed., htethod 1311, sec. 8.1, a minimum
of one blanl: per 20 extraccions must br conducted in each extraction vessel.
5. For mercury analysis, five standards were not di�ested.
Corrective Action: According to SW-846, 3rd edicion, h[ethods 7�70 and i-� i lA, secs.

For metals analysis by ICP, an interference check standard was not being analyzed.
Corrective Action: According to SW-846, 3rd edition, Method 6010, sec. 8.6.2, the
interelement and background correction factors should be verified at the beginning and
end of each analytical run.
For organic analysis, matrix spike and spike duplicates were not analyzed with each
analytical batch.
Corrective Action: The definition of a batch according to SW-846, 3rd edition, Chapter
One, is a group of samples which behave similarly with respect to the sampling or the
testing procedures being employed and which are processed as a unit." The TNRCC
interprets "processed as a unit" to mean samples extracted or prepared on the same day.
Please respond in writing to this office within thim (30) days to describe corrective actions. If
you have any questions or commenu, please do not hesitace to contact me at (281) 457-52?9.

Corrective Action: The lab is in the proc-�Messes of marking each ZHE
assembly in such a manner that the proce�ssing of blanks can be easi(y
documented.
5. For mercury analysis, five standards were not digested.
��
Corrective Action: The SOP for mercury �analysis is being re-written to
incorporate the use of five standards. The �OP will become effective July
20, 1998. . ,k
�
6. For metals analysis by ICP, an interferenc� check standard was not being
analyzed.
�k
Corrective Action: The SOP for ICP �.nalysis is being re-written to
incorporate interference checic standards. �aThe SOP wi(I become effective
July 24, 1998.
�a
7. For organic analysis, matrix spike and sp �}� e duplicates were not analyzed
with each analytical batch. .
Corrective Action: Historically batches have been established with either
10 samples or 20 samples, depending i�pon the method and particular
�egulations involved. For organic analyses, batches have been left "open"
until all 10 or 20 samples have been pr�'�essed (possibly extending over
a 4 or 5 day period). The lab is now in the process of implementing
procedures that define the batch as thos�e samples (up to 10 or 20) that
are analyzed as a unit (ie. same day). ��These procedures will all be in
place by August 1, 1998.

2.12 Laboratory Qualitv Control and Qualitv Assurance
�
The Contractor laboratory must have defined QA protocois, and have an overall Quality
� Assurance Plan available for review, including standard operation procedures (SOPs) and
analytical methods, internal QA/QC procedures and logs, and data review procedures. The
Contractor laboratory shall be required to handle samples and follow chain-of-custody protocols
that are in accordance with all federal and state regulatory requirements for laboratory quality
,,", assurance. All samples shall be analyzed using EPA approved methods and technology.
When identified on the Chain of Custody, all laboratory records related to environmental site
assessments performed pursuant to the City of Fort Worth Brownfields Economic
Redevelopment Program shall have the EPA assigned QTRAK number placed on them
(QTRAK 99-214).
A Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) will be developed by the City of Fort Worth in
conjunction with the Laboratory on all Brownfields Site Assessments and will require the
Laboratory to identify the lab equipment and/or systems requiring periodic maintenance and
explain:
►�
� • How periodic preventive and corrective maintenance of equipment shall be performed to
ensure availability and satisfactory performance.
• How the availability of critical spare parts, identified in the manufacturer's operation
�"' instructions, will be assured and maintained.
� • Corrective actions for calibration check samples that exceed the control limits, drift in the
calibration curve, or if a reagent blank indicates contamination.
�""" The QAPP will also require the laboratory to identify all lab tools, gauges, instruments and other
equipment used for data collection activities that must be calibrated to maintain performance
within specified limits:
• Calibration procedures to be conducted using certified equipment and/or standards with
known relationships to recognized perFormance standards.
• Procedures on the maintenance of records of calibration.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council: � , -� •`��
� _ , . _ � , °=:s�
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute � professional service contracts with Armstrong Forensic";�
Laboratory, Inc. in the amount of $75,000, and with ERMI Environmental Laboratory in the amount e.�
of $30,000, for analytical laboratory services for the Department of Environmental Management. ;�
Both contracts will begin February 1, 2000, and expire January 31, 2001, with two one-year options'wn�
to,renew; and � � � � � �`�
.�
2: Authorize the transfer of $71,250 from the Undesignated Project to the Laboratory Services Project.,;''
in the Environmental Project Fund. `
DISCUSSION:
The Department of Environmental Management (DEM) requires a professional services contract for the
furnishing of all labor, materials and equipment necessary for performing environmental laboratory .
analyses of air, soil, water, sludge, sediment, tissue and asbestos samples to be taken on various
projects and inspections. �
The propo5ed agreement will commence February 1, 2000, and expire January 31, 2001, with two one-
year options to renew. Renewal may be effected by notice in writing by the City Manager or his
designated representative to the contractor within 30 days of the expiration of the prior term and does
not require specific City Council approval, provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient .
funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term. � �
DEM requested proposals for a Professional Services Contract for Environmental Laboratory Analysis
(Project: DEM99-06LAB) on November 18, 1999. A mandatory Pre-Proposal Meeting was held on °
December 1, 1999, that was attended by five prospective laboratories. Proposal packages were __
received on December 9, 1999, from the following firms: . ,'
Ana-Lab Corporation
Armstrona Forensic Laboratorv. Inc.,
Certes Environmental Labnratories, L.L.C.

ANALYTI�CAL SERVICES
✓
The proposals were evaluated based on a pre-determined combination of qualitative and quantitative
(bid point) measures and a determination was made of the top four laboratories submitting proposals.
These measures included the evaluation of such factors as experience, qualifications of personnel,
testing capabilities, cost, invoicing methods and subcontractors. The top four laboratories were then
audited. Based on the total point distribution of the measures and the lab audit results, staff is
recommending � that contracts be awarded to Armstrong Forensic Laboratory, Inc. as the primary
contractor and to ERMI Environmental Laboratories as the secondary contractor. DEM expects to
utilize Armstrong and ERMI, 75°/a and 25% of the time respectively. Armstrong will be primarily utilized
for storm water, hazardous waste and industrial hygiene projects, while ERMI will be primarily utilized
for the Leaking Petroleum Storage Tank (LPST) Program.
For FY1999-00, the DEM has budgeted $32,000 for this agreement in the General Fund and $3,750 in
the Environmental Operating Fund. The balance of the contract, $71,250, will be paid from the
Environmental Project Fund. ,
A waiver of M/WBE goals were granted for this project because the purchase of services was from
sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. Subcontracting opportunities are
negligible due to quality assurance protocols required of laboratories. Laboratories perform the majority
of the work in-house in order to fulfill the QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Check) requirements set
on them. The contract is based on a per anafysis/test and supply equipment is not allowed to be billed.
