1 Because MDLs reported in EPA
Methods 200.7 and 200.9 were determined using a 2× preconcentration step
during sample digestion, MDLs determined when samples are analyzed by direct
analysis, that is, no sample digestion, will be higher. Preconcentration may be
required to direct analysis of lead by Method 200.9, Method 3113 B, and Method
D 3559-90D unless multiple in-furnace depositions are made.
(b) Analyses for alkalinity,
calcium, conductivity, orthophosphate, pH, silica, and temperature may be
performed by any person acceptable to the commissioner. Analyses under this
section for lead and copper shall only be conducted by laboratories that have
been certified by the EPA or the commissioner. To obtain certification to
conduct analysis for lead and copper, laboratories must do the following:
(1) Successfully analyze (PE) samples that
include lead and copper provided by or acceptable to EPA or the commissioner at
least once each year by each method for which the laboratory desires
certification.
(2) Achieve
quantitative acceptance limits as follows:
(A)
For lead, plus or minus thirty percent (30%) of the actual amount in the PE
sample when the actual amount is greater than or equal to five-hundredths
(0.05) milligram per liter.
(B) For
copper, plus or minus ten percent (10%) of the actual amount in the PE sample
when the actual amount is greater than or equal to five-thousandths (0.005)
milligram per liter.
(3)
Achieve the method detection limit for lead of one-thousandth (0.001) milligram
per liter according to the procedures in Appendix B of 40 CFR 136 (July 1,
1991). This need only be done if the laboratory will be processing source water
composite samples under section 39 of this rule.
(4) Be currently certified by EPA or the
state to perform analyses to the specifications described in this
subsection.
(e) All copper levels measured
between the practical quantitation level and the method detection limit must be
either reported as measured or they can be reported as one-half (1/2) the
practical quantitation level (twenty-five thousandths (0.025) milligram per
liter). All levels below the copper method detection limit must be reported as
zero (0).
1 For analyzing lead and copper,
the technique applicable to total metals must be used and samples cannot be
filtered.
