Reports of Sampling Results and QA/QC
Note: Sampling location maps were generated with software that did not have sufficient
resolution in some cases to clearly indicate the grid pattern recorded by global positioning that
was used for sample collection. In addition, some of the maps of beach locations did not match
actual beach locations and waterlines.
The results provided by United Analytical Services, Inc., EMS Laboratories, Inc., and Aeolus,
Inc. are provided in this appendix. There are some differences between these results and final
results and QA/QC calculated by UIC:
1. Locations of samples: Four samples that were collected between Kellogg Creek and 21 st
Street at IBSP North Unit were collected on the same date as samples collected at IBSP
South Unit. These samples were labeled as IBSP-13S through IBSP-16S and included in
the IBSP South Unit grouping by Aeolus, Inc., which was working from sample numbers
and dates, and did not have all of the necessary information. GLCEEH subsequently
corrected the sample results table as presented in Appendix A to reflect the IBSP North
Unit grouping of results.
2. The shipment from EMS to UAS and the analysis of three samples of existing grid
replicates had not been completed by the time the Aeolus, Inc. report was completed.
These samples were subsequently analyzed and are included in the GLCEEH recalculations
included in Appendix B. During these re-calculations, minor data input
errors were found in the Aeolus, Inc. QA/QC calculations, but these are not likely to
impact the conclusions drawn by Aeolus, Inc.
