The QC procedures and acceptance criteria <br />specified in the EPA.methods and MRI SOPs were used. The procedures included, but <br />were not limited to, (1) sampling equipment calibrations, (2) procedural elements of the <br />methods such as leak checks, proper traversing, placement of sampling probes, verification <br />of the integrity of metering systems prior to the start of sampling, etc., and (3) the use of <br />QC samples and analytical approaches such as reagent blank samples, method blanks, <br />matrix spike samples, duplicate analysis, and surrogate spiking. The performance and <br />results of all QC procedures were recorded on appropriate forms, data sheets, field logs, <br />and laboratory notebooks, as appropriate. <br /> <br />1#0.0'1 <br />: i <br />i <br />J <br /> <br />5.1 Equipment Calibration <br /> <br />"J' <br />.' <br />~ <br /> <br />n <br /> <br />QC procedures, acceptability limits for sampling equipment calibrations, and <br />calibration results are presented in Table 5-1. Calibration data sheets and equipment <br />condition checklists used during calibration are provided in Appendix I. Equipment used <br />for analysis of samples was calibrated according to the procedures in the approved standard <br />methods and manufacturers' manuals. <br /> <br />~-I <br /> <br />U <br /> <br />5.2 Emission Measurement and Data Quality Criteria <br /> <br />:',1 <br />~ .- <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Specific QC procedures were followed to ensure the continuous production of useful <br />and valid data. Table 5-2 presents a summary of specific criteria for assessing overall <br />emission measurement and data quality along with the results of these determinations. <br /> <br />,") <br />J <br /> <br />5.2.1 Blank, Spikes, and Toluene Rinse Results <br /> <br />n <br />~_J <br /> <br />The results for chloride matrix spikes and relative percent difference for duplicate <br />analysis are summarized in Table 5-3. The results for the metals laboratory reagent and <br />field blanks are summarized in Table 5-4. The metals matrix spikes, spiked laboratory <br />reagents, and reference material results are presented in Table 5-5. The chloride and metals <br />data quality objectives as specified in Table 5-2 were met. <br /> <br />f.'1 <br />u <br /> <br />i I <br />LJ <br /> <br />MRI.AED\R49S 1-08.03 55. wpd <br /> <br />q.
