In order for analysis results to be representative of the sample collected in the field, the laboratory has subsampling procedures, see SOP 9.2.3, Sample Pour-Off.

26.5	Sample Storage

        Storage conditions are monitored for any required criteria, verified, and the verification recorded in logbooks.

        Samples that require thermal preservation are stored under refrigeration that is +/-2°C of the specified preservation temperature unless regulatory or method specific criteria require something different. For samples with a specified storage temperature of 4°C, storage at a temperature above the freezing point of water to 6°C is acceptable.

        Samples are held secure, as required. Samples are accessible only to laboratory personnel.

        Samples are stored apart from standards, reagents, food or potentially contaminating sources, and such that cross-contamination is minimized. All portions of samples, including extracts, digestates, leachates, or any product of the sample is maintained according to the required conditions.

26.6	Sample Disposal

        Daily Plant samples are routinely disposed when the analysis is completed. Other samples are retained until they have expired unless other arrangements have been made with the client.

        Samples are disposed of according to Federal, State and local regulations.

26.7	Sample Transport

        Samples that are transported under the responsibility of the laboratory, where necessary, are done so safely and according to storage conditions. This includes moving bottles within the laboratory.

        Sample shipping procedures are described in SOP 2.8, Contract Lab Shipping.

Section 27

QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING
(TNI V1:M1, V1:M2  -  Section 5.9 and Section 1.7
of Technical Modules TNI V1:M 3-7)

Pima County RWRD CRAO Laboratory has procedures for monitoring the validity of the testing it performs. The quality of test results are recorded in such a way that trends are detectable, and where practicable, are statistically evaluated. To evaluate the quality of test results, the laboratory utilizes certified reference materials, second source reference materials, control charting, duplicate analyses, comparison to historical data, analyst demonstration of capability, and correlation of results for different characteristics of a sample.

In addition to procedures for calibration, the laboratory monitors quality control measurements such as blanks, laboratory fortified blanks (LFB), matrix spikes (MS), duplicates, surrogates and internal standards to assess precision and accuracy. Proficiency Testing samples are also analyzed to assess laboratory performance.

Quality control data are analyzed and, when found to be outside pre-defined criteria, action is taken to correct the problem and to prevent incorrect results from being reported. Data associated with quality control data outside of criteria and still deemed reportable will be qualified so that the end user of the data may make a determination of the usability of the data - see Section 28  -  "Reporting of Results".

27.1	Essential Quality Control Procedures

        The quality control procedures specified in test methods are followed by laboratory personnel. The most stringent of control procedures is used in cases where multiple controls are offered in the test method, standard operating procedure or the Quality Manual. If it is not clear which is the most stringent, that mandated by test method or regulation is followed.

        For test methods that do not provide acceptance criteria for an essential quality control element or where no regulatory criteria exist, acceptance criteria are developed. Criteria for each method is defined in the relevant standard operating procedure.

        Written procedures to monitor routine quality controls including acceptance criteria are located in the test method SOPs and include such procedures as:

            use of laboratory fortified blanks and blanks to serve as positive and negative controls for chemistry methods;
            use of laboratory fortified blanks to monitor test variability of laboratory results;
            use of calibrations, continuing calibrations, certified reference materials and/or PT samples to monitor accuracy of the test method;
            measures to monitor test method capability, such as limit of detection, limit of quantitation, and/or range of test applicability, such as linearity;
            use of regression analysis, internal/external standards, or statistical analysis to reduce raw data to final results;
            use of reagents and standards of appropriate quality and use of second source materials as appropriate;
            procedures to ensure the selectivity of the test method for its intended use;
            measures to assure constant and consistent test conditions, such as temperature, barometric pressure, etc., when required by test method;
            use of sterility checks for equipment, media and dilution water for microbiology; and
            use of positive and negative culture controls for new lots in microbiology.

27.2	Internal Quality Control Practices

        Analytical data generated with QC samples that fall within all prescribed acceptance limits indicate the test method is deemed to be in control.

        QC samples that fall outside QC limits indicate the test method are deemed to be out of control (nonconforming) and that corrective action is required and/or that the data are qualified (see Section 12  -  "Control of Nonconforming Environmental Testing Work" and Section 14 - "Corrective Actions").

        Detailed QC procedures and QC limits are included in test method standard operating procedures (SOPs).

        All QC measures are assessed and evaluated on an on-going basis, so that trends are detected.

27.2.1 	General Controls

        The following general controls are used:

        <IP_ADDRESS>	Positive and Negative Controls such as:

                     Blanks (negative)
                     Laboratory fortified blank (positive)
                     Sterility checks and control cultures (positive and negative).

                     cleaning glassware appropriate to the level required by the analysis as demonstrated with method blanks. See SOPs <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, and 7.1.
                     for microbiology, glassware care includes use of borosilicate glassware, use of detergents designed for laboratory use, testing each glassware wash batch for alkaline or acid residue with bromothymol blue, and conduct of the Inhibitory Residue test or file a Certificate of Analysis when the detergent is changed, detergent lot is changed or the detergent is expired.
                     following SOPs and documenting any deviation, assessing for impact, and treating data appropriately;
                     testing to define the variability and/or repeatability of the laboratory results, such as duplicates;
                     use of measures to assure the accuracy of the test method, including calibration and/or continuing calibrations, use of certified reference materials, proficiency test samples, or other measures.

      <IP_ADDRESS>	Test Method Capability (also see Section 22  -  "Environmental Methods and Method Validation") is assured through:

                     establishment of the limit of detection where appropriate;
                     establishment of the limit of quantitation or reporting level; and/or
                     establishment of the range of applicability such as linearity.

      <IP_ADDRESS>	Data reduction is assured to be accurate by:

                     selection of appropriate formulae to reduce raw data to final results such as regression;
                     following specific procedures for data reduction such as manual integration procedures;
                     periodic review of data reduction processes to assure applicability;
                     microbiological calculations, data reduction, and statistical interpretations specified by each test method.

      <IP_ADDRESS>	Sample Specific controls are used to evaluate the effect of sample matrix on the performance of the selected analytical method (not a measure of laboratory performance):

                 Examples:

                     Matrix Spike and Matrix Spike Duplicate (MS/MSD)
                     Surrogate Spikes
                     Sample Duplicates

27.2.2	Specific Controls

        <IP_ADDRESS>	Method Blanks

                 Method blanks are processed along with and under the same conditions as the associated samples to include all steps in the method. A method blank must be analyzed at a frequency defined in the SOP. When no separate preparation method is used the batch is defined as the environmental samples that are analyzed with the same method and personnel, using the same lots of reagents, not to exceed the analysis of twenty environmental samples, not including method blanks, LFB, matrix spikes and matrix duplicates. The matrix of the method blank must be similar to the associated samples and be free from any analytes of interest. Method blanks are not required for some analyses such as Total and volatile solids, pH, temperature, flashpoint, and conductivity.

                 Contaminated blanks are identified according to the acceptance limits in the test method SOPs or laboratory documentation.

                 The laboratory identifies a blank as contaminated when analyte results are greater than the MDL or MRL, according to the method.

                 When a blank is determined to be contaminated, the cause must be investigated and measures taken to minimize or eliminate the problem. Samples affected may be reanalyzed or resampled, as necessary.

                 Data that are unaffected by the blank contamination (non-detects or other analytes) are reported unqualified.

                 Sample data that are suspect due to the presence of a contaminated blank are reanalyzed, qualified, or voided.

      <IP_ADDRESS>	Laboratory Fortified Blanks (Blank spike, Laboratory Control Sample)

                 Laboratory Fortified Blanks (LFB) are prepared from analyte free water or other clean matrix, and spiked with verified and known amounts of analytes for the purpose of establishing precision or bias measurements.

                 Laboratory fortified blanks are analyzed at a frequency mandated by method, regulation, or client request, whichever is more stringent. The standard frequency of LFB preparation and analysis is one per analytical batch or as otherwise stated in a laboratory SOP. Exceptions would be for those analytes where no spiking solution is available, such as Residues, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen. When no separate preparation method is used the batch is defined as the environmental samples that are analyzed with the same method and personnel, using the same lots of reagents, not including method blanks, LFB, matrix spikes and matrix duplicates.

                 The results of laboratory fortified blanks (LFB) are calculated in percent recovery or other appropriate statistical technique that allows comparison to established acceptance criteria. The laboratory documents the calculation in the test method SOP.

                 The individual LFB is compared to the acceptance criteria as published in the mandated test method, or where there are no established criteria, the laboratory established limits as described above.

	<IP_ADDRESS>	Matrix Spikes and Matrix Spike Duplicates

                 Matrix Spikes and Matrix Spike Duplicates (MS/MSD) are environmental samples fortified with a known amount of analyte to help assess the effect of the matrix on method performance.

                 The laboratory procedure for MS/MSD includes spiking appropriate analytes at appropriate concentrations, calculating percent recoveries and relative percent difference (RPD), and evaluating and reporting the results. The procedure can be found in the method SOP.

                 For MS/MSD results outside established criteria corrective action is documented or the data are reported with appropriate data qualifying codes.

	<IP_ADDRESS>	Surrogate Spikes

                 Surrogate spikes are substances with chemical properties and behaviors similar to the analytes of interest used to assess method performance in individual samples. Surrogates are added to all samples (in test methods where surrogate use is appropriate) prior to sample preparation or extraction.

                 Surrogate recovery results are evaluated for acceptance by determining if the concentration (measured as percent recovery) falls inside the required recovery limits. Upper and lower limits are derived using the average recovery +- 3 standard deviations from the mean. The laboratory must calculate results for all surrogates in samples, blanks, matrix spikes and lab control samples. Control charts are generated through Element.

                 For surrogate results outside established criteria, the following is required: Check for matrix interferences, check calculations, surrogate solutions and internal standards for errors. Check instrument performance. Recalculate the sample data if any of the above checks reveal a problem. Reanalyze the sample if none of the above is a problem. If the problem persists, flag the raw data/final report and submit the sample results with an Arizona Data Qualifier, see SOP 9.4, Guidelines for the Use of AZ Data Qualifiers .

27.3	Proficiency Test Samples or Interlaboratory Comparisons

27.3.1	Compliance to Accreditation Requirements

        The laboratory analyzes at least two PT samples per calendar year for each accreditation Fields of Proficiency Testing (FoPT) for which the laboratory is licensed. An exception is made for analytes where there is no PT available from any  approved PT provider at least twice per year. In these cases the lab will run the PTs in the minimum time frame the PTs are available and not at all if they are not available.

        The successive PTs are analyzed at least five months apart and no more than 7 months apart unless the PT is being used for corrective action to maintain or reinstate accreditation, in which case the dates of successive PT samples for the same accreditation FoPT is at least fifteen days apart.  PTs for lead air filter analyses requires in an EPA TSP study where 6 filters at two concentrations are analyzed quarterly.

27.3.2	PT Sample Handling, Analysis and Reporting

        The laboratory does not share PT samples with other laboratories, does not communicate with other laboratories regarding current PT sample results, and does not attempt to obtain the assigned value of any PT sample from the PT provider.

        Proficiency Testing (PT) samples are treated as typical samples in the normal production process where possible, including the same analysts, preparation, calibration, quality control and acceptance criteria, sequence of analytical steps, number of replicates, and sample log-in. PT samples are not analyzed multiple times unless routine environmental samples are analyzed multiple times. Where PT samples present special problems in the analysis process, they will be treated as laboratory samples where clients have special requests.

        The type, composition, concentration and frequency of quality control samples analyzed with the PT samples are the same as with typical samples.

        Prior to the closing date of a study, laboratory personnel do not:

            Subcontract analysis of a PT sample to another laboratory being run for licensing purposes.

            Knowingly receive and analyze a PT for another laboratory being run for licensing purposes.

            Communicate with an individual from another laboratory concerning the analysis of the PT sample.

            Attempt to find out the assigned value of a PT from the PT Provider.

        PT samples are reported in Element as normal samples. Once approved the unit supervisor enters the data online with PT provider.

        The laboratory institutes corrective action procedures for failed PT samples following the guidelines in Section 14  -  "Corrective Action".

        Retention of PT records is similar to that maintained for regular environmental samples. In addition the lab maintains a copy of the online data entry summary when the PT results are submitted online.

27.4	Data Review

        The laboratory reviews all data generated in the laboratory for compliance with method, laboratory and, where appropriate, client requirements.

        All Chain of Custodies are reviewed for errors by QA with a subsequent review by Data Management.

        Initially, the analyst reviews data for acceptability of quality control measures and accuracy of the final result(s). The analyst's initials and date are on all raw data as well as in Element. The data is either uploaded or hand entered into Element. All reagent information is entered in Element as well as all QC including but not limited to blanks, blank spikes, LCS, calibrations, matrix spikes, matrix spike duplicates, CCVs and Tunes. If qualifiers are required the analyst enters them in Element. The analyst updates the status to "analyzed" and locks the data when satisfied the data is correctly entered. All Quality Control not meeting limits are automatically flagged red to facilitate detection.

        When the data status is locked and analyzed, the chemist specialist or a designated chemist conducts a review. The reviewer considers all manual transfers and calculations of data in detail and reviews raw data and electronic data.
        Final reports are compared to raw data either directly or through several reviewed steps. When the chemist specialist is satisfied, they mark it reviewed in Element This automatically forwards it to the laboratory director.

        The laboratory director reviews Quality Control results, sample results, dilutions, Tunes, calibrations, qualifiers, and exceedences in Element and marks it reported in Element.

        The lab director conducts an additional review of each each final report before signing. Review of data includes sample and analysis dates, holding times, MDLs. MRLS, permit exceedences, correct qualifiers. The status is changed to Reportable.

        At any step in the process, questions and errors must be resolved before continuing.

        DMU issues the unsigned report to the Laboratory Director who reviews the sample data, MDLs and MRLs, correctly formatted qualifiers case narrative before signing.

        The QA department reviews 10% of final reports before they go to the lab director for signature. QA reviews the COCs are included in the report, sample IDs are verified against the COCs, sample dates and times are verified, holding times are not exceeded, correctly formatted qualifiers case narrative, report comments, exceedences, correct units of measure, contract lab results, correct methods and MDLs and MRLs.
