The sample exhibited the LowLevel of Agreement <strong>for</strong> zinc, ultimately affecting the overall target <strong>for</strong> blind replicate samples.Considering that zinc in soils did not yield concentrations above the acceptance criteria, it is theauthor‟s opinion that the EnviroLab result can be accepted and, there<strong>for</strong>e, no further investigationof soil with regard to zinc is warranted.The ratio of the valid data to the total number of the analyses conducted in the QA/QC programyielded 99.3 %. It appears that the data collected in the course of the investigation meets thetarget result <strong>for</strong> the completeness of the QA/QC program stated in the DQOs (95%).4224 63 North Pde Mt Druitt PSI.v1 final Page 49
