NOTES:

1. Common names are those widely used in government regulations, scientific publications, and commerce; synonyms exist for many chemicals.

2. Chemical Abstracts Service registry number ("CAS RN"). Where "Total" is entered, all species in the sample which contains this species are included.

3. Those parameters marked with an "X" are to be monitored at solid waste facilities other than wood waste or construction/demolition debris landfills. Those parameters marked with a " [TICK] " are to be monitored at landfills for the disposal of wood waste or construction/demolition debris.

4. Any unusual conditions (colors, odors, surface sheens, etc.) noticed during purging or sampling must be reported.

5. VOCs are the 47 organic constituents listed 40 CFR Part 258 Appendix I[v] as amended up to July 1, 2014.

6. ABNs are the organic constituents listed in CFR Part 258 Appendix II[vi] as amended up to July 1, 2014 less the VOCs and Pesticides of these regulations.
