Footnotes

1. Extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (EPH). Analyze for EPH using the method, "Analysis of extractable petroleum hydrocarbon (EPH) compounds in non-aqueous and aqueous matrices," at www.nj.gov/dep/srp/guidance/srra/eph_protocol.pdf, as supplemented or amended.

2. United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Target Compound List volatile organic compounds including 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene, but excluding 1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane, 1,2-Dibromoethane, and 1,4-Dioxane with a library search of the 15 highest Tentatively Identified Compounds (TICs).

TICs for volatiles -- Identify up to 15 organic compounds of greatest concentration that are not surrogates, internal standards, or targeted compounds listed under TCL.

3. EPA Target Compound List volatile organic compounds excluding 1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane, 1,2-Dibromoethane, and 1,4-Dioxane with a library search of the 15 highest TICs.

TICs for volatiles -- Identify up to 15 organic compounds of greatest concentration that are not surrogates, internal standards, or targeted compounds listed under TCL.

4. EPA Target Compound List semi-volatile organic compounds including 1-Methyl Naphthalene, but excluding phenol and substituted phenols with a library search of the 15 highest TICs.

TICs for semi-volatiles -- Identify up to 15 organic compounds of greatest concentration that are not surrogates, internal standards, or targeted compounds listed under TCL.

5. EPA Target Compound List semi-volatile organic compounds excluding phenol and substituted phenols with a library search of the 15 highest TICs.

TICs for semi-volatiles -- Identify up to 15 organic compounds of greatest concentration that are not surrogates, internal standards, or targeted compounds listed under TCL.

6. EPA Target Compound List Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH).

7. Conduct the additional analyses on sample(s) with the highest EPH concentration(s), with a minimum of one sample.

8. May perform synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) extraction to develop a site specific impact to ground water remediation standard for 2-Methyl Naphthalene (see http://www.nj.gov/dep/srp/guidance/rs/index.html, as supplemented or amended).
