PART 136_GUIDELINES ESTABLISHING TEST PROCEDURES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF POLLUTANTS--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  136.3  Identification of test procedures.

    (a) Parameters or pollutants, for which methods are approved, are 
listed together with test procedure descriptions and references in 
Tables IA, IB, IC, ID, IE, and IF. The full text of the referenced test 
procedures are incorporated by reference into Tables IA, IB, IC, ID, IE, 
and IF. The incorporation by reference of these documents, as specified 
in paragraph (b) of this section, was approved by the Director of the 
Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. 
Copies of the documents may be obtained from the sources listed in 
paragraph (b) of

this section. Information regarding obtaining these documents can be 
obtained from the EPA Office of Water Statistics and Analytical Support 
Branch at 202-566-1000. Documents may be inspected at EPA's Water 
Docket, EPA West, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room B135, Washington, 
DC (Telephone: 202-566-2426); or at the Office of the Federal Register, 
800 North Capitol Street, NW., Suite 700, Washington, DC. These test 
procedures are incorporated as they exist on the day of approval and a 
notice of anys change in these test procedures will be published in the 
Federal Register. The discharge parameter values for which reports are 
required must be determined by one of the standard analytical test 
procedures incorporated by reference and described in Tables IA, IB, IC, 
IE, and IF, or by any alternate test procedure which has been approved 
by the Administrator under the provisions of paragraph (d) of this 
section and Sec. Sec.  136.4 and 136.5. Under certain circumstances 
(paragraph (b) or (c) of this section or 40 CFR 401.13) other test 
procedures may be more advantageous when such other test procedures have 
been previously approved by the Regional Administrator of the Region in 
which the discharge will occur, and providing the Director of the State 
in which such discharge will occur does not object to the use of such 
alternate test procedure.

\4\ For the determination of total metals the sample is not filtered before processing. A digestion procedure is required to solubilize suspended material and to destroy possible organic-metal
  complexes. Two digestion procedures are given in ``Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes, 1979 and 1983''. One (Section 4.1.3), is a vigorous digestion using nitric acid. A less
  vigorous digestion using nitric and hydrochloric acids (Section 4.1.4) is preferred; however, the analyst should be cautioned that this mild digestion may not suffice for all samples types.
  Particularly, if a colorimetric procedure is to be employed, it is necessary to ensure that all organo-metallic bonds be broken so that the metal is in a reactive state. In those situations,
  the vigorous digestion is to be preferred making certain that at no time does the sample go to dryness. Samples containing large amounts of organic materials may also benefit by this
  vigorous digestion, however, vigorous digestion with concentrated nitric acid will convert antimony and tin to insoluble oxides and render them unavailable for analysis. Use of ICP/AES as
  well as determinations for certain elements such as antimony, arsenic, the noble metals, mercury, selenium, silver, tin, and titanium require a modified sample digestion procedure and in all
  cases the method write-up should be consulted for specific instructions and/or cautions.
Note to Table 1B Note 4: If the digestion procedure for direct aspiration AA included in one of the other approved references is different than the above, the EPA procedure must be used.
  Dissolved metals are defined as those constituents which will pass through a 0.45 micron membrane filter. Following filtration of the sample, the referenced procedure for total metals must
  be followed. Sample digestion of the filtrate for dissolved metals (or digestion of the original sample solution for total metals) may be omitted for AA (direct aspiration or graphite
  furnace) and ICP analyses, provided the sample solution to be analyzed meets the following criteria:
a. has a low COD (<20)
b. is visibly transparent with a turbidity measurement of 1 NTU or less
c. is colorless with no perceptible odor, and
d. is of one liquid phase and free of particulate or suspended matter following acidification.

\12\ Carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD5) must not be confused with the traditional BOD5 test method which measures ``total BOD''. The addition of the nitrification inhibitor is not
  a procedural option, but must be included to report the CBOD5 parameter. A discharger whose permit requires reporting the traditional BOD5 may not use a nitrification inhibitor in the
  procedure for reporting the results. Only when a discharger's permit specifically states CBOD5 is required can the permittee report data using a nitrification inhibitor.

\29\ Approved methods for the analysis of silver in industrial wastewaters at concentrations of 1 mg/L and above are inadequate where silver exists as an inorganic halide. Silver halides such
  as the bromide and chloride are relatively insoluble in reagents such as nitric acid but are readily soluble in an aqueous buffer of sodium thiosulfate and sodium hydroxide to pH of 12.
  Therefore, for levels of silver above 1 mg/L, 20 mL of sample should be diluted to 100 mL by adding 40 mL each of 2 M Na2S2O3 and NaOH. Standards should be prepared in the same manner. For
  levels of silver below 1 mg/L the approved method is satisfactory.

\1\ All parameters are expressed in micrograms per liter ([mu]g/L) except for Method 1613B in which the parameters are expressed in picograms per liter
  (pg/L).
\2\ The full text of Methods 601-613, 624, 625, 1624B, and 1625B, are given at Appendix A, ``Test Procedures for Analysis of Organic Pollutants,'' of
  this Part 136. The full text of Method 1613B is incorporated by reference into this Part 136 and is available from the National Technical Information
  Services as stock number PB95-104774. The standardized test procedure to be used to determine the method detection limit (MDL) for these test
  procedures is given at Appendix B, ``Definition and Procedure for the Determination of the Method Detection Limit,'' of this Part 136.

  Agency, September, 1978.
\4\ Method 624 may be extended to screen samples for Acrolein and Acrylonitrile. However, when they are known to be present, the preferred method for
  these two compounds is Method 603 or Method 1624B.
\5\ Method 625 may be extended to include benzidine, hexachlorocyclopentadiene, N-nitrosodimethylamine, and N-nitrosodiphenylamine. However, when they
  are known to be present, Methods 605, 607, and 612, orMethod 1625B, are preferred methods for these compounds.

\7\ Each Analyst must make an initial, one-time demonstration of their ability to generate acceptable precision and accuracy with Methods 601-603, 624,
  625, 1624B, and 1625B (See Appendix A of this Part 136) in accordance with procedures each in Section 8.2 of each of these Methods. Additionally, each
  laboratory, on an on-going basis must spike and analyze 10% (5% for Methods 624 and 625 and 100% for methods 1624B and 1625B) of all samples to
  monitor and evaluate laboratory data quality in accordance with Sections 8.3 and 8.4 of these Methods. When the recovery of any parameter falls
  outside the warning limits, the analytical results for that parameter in the unspiked sample are suspect and cannot be reported to demonstrate
  regulatory compliance.
 Note: These warning limits are promulgated as an ``interim final action with a request for comments.''

\1\ Pesticides are listed in this table by common name for the convenience of the reader. Additional pesticides may be found under Table 1C, where
  entries are listed by chemical name.
\2\ The full text of Methods 608 and 625 are given at Appendix A. ``Test Procedures for Analysis of Organic Pollutants,'' of this Part 136. The
  standardized test procedure to be used to determine the method detection limit (MDL) for these test procedures is given at Appendix B, ``Definition

\5\ The method may be extended to include [alpha]-BHC, [gamma]-BHC, endosulfan I, endosulfan II, and endrin. However, when they are known to exist,
  Method 608 is the preferred method.

\7\ Each analyst must make an initial, one-time, demonstration of their ability to generate acceptable precision and accuracy with Methods 608 and 625
  (See Appendix A of this Part 136) in accordance with procedures given in Section 8.2 of each of these methods. Additionally, each laboratory, on an on-
  going basis, must spike and analyze 10% of all samples analyzed with Method 608 or 5% of all samples analyzed with Method 625 to monitor and evaluate
  laboratory data quality in accordance with Sections 8.3 and 8.4 of these methods. When the recovery of any parameter falls outside the warning limits,
  the analytical results for that parameter in the unspiked sample are suspect and cannot be reported to demonstrate regulatory compliance. These
  quality control requirements also apply to the Standard Methods, ASTM Methods, and other Methods cited.

from the prescribed preservation techniques, container materials, and 
maximum holding times applicable to samples taken from a specific 
discharge. Applications for variances may be made by letters to the 
Regional Administrator in the Region in which the discharge will occur. 
Sufficient data should be provided to assure such variance does not 
adversely affect the integrity of the sample. Such data will be 
forwarded, by the Regional Administrator, to the Director of the 
Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory--Cincinnati, Ohio for 
technical review and recommendations for action on the variance 
application. Upon receipt of the recommendations from the Director of 
the Environmental Monitoring

[[Page 34]]

Systems Laboratory, the Regional Administrator may grant a variance 
applicable to the specific charge to the applicant. A decision to 
approve or deny a variance will be made within 90 days of receipt of the 
application by the Regional Administrator.

Table II Notes
\1\ Polyethylene (P) or glass (G). For microbiology, plastic sample containers must be made of sterilizable
  materials (polypropylene or other autoclavable plastic).
2 Sample preservation should be performed immediately upon sample collection. For composite chemical samples
  each aliquot should be preserved at the time of collection. When use of an automated sampler makes it
  impossible to preserve each aliquot, then chemical samples may be preserved by maintaining at 4[deg]C until
  compositing and sample splitting is completed.
3 When any sample is to be shipped by common carrier or sent through the United States Mails, it must comply
  with the Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR part 172). The person offering
  such material for transportation is responsible for ensuring such compliance. For the preservation
  requirements of Table II, the Office of Hazardous Materials, Materials Transportation Bureau, Department of
  Transportation has determined that the Hazardous Materials Regulations do not apply to the following
  materials: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) in water solutions at concentrations of 0.04% by weight or less (pH about
  1.96 or greater); Nitric acid (HNO3) in water solutions at concentrations of 0.15% by weight or less (pH about
  1.62 or greater); Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in water solutions at concentrations of 0.35% by weight or less (pH
  about 1.15 or greater); and Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in water solutions at concentrations of 0.080% by weight
  or less (pH about 12.30 or less).
\4\ Samples should be analyzed as soon as possible after collection. The times listed are the maximum times that
  samples may be held before analysis and still be considered valid. Samples may be held for longer periods only
  if the permittee, or monitoring laboratory, has data on file to show that for the specific types of samples
  under study, the analytes are stable for the longer time, and has received a variance from the Regional
  Administrator under Sec.   136.3(e). Some samples may not be stable for the maximum time period given in the
  table. A permittee, or monitoring laboratory, is obligated to hold the sample for a shorter time if knowledge
  exists to show that this is necessary to maintain sample stability. See Sec.   136.3(e) for details. The term
  ``analyze immediately'' usually means within 15 minutes or less of sample collection.
5 Should only be used in the presence of residual chlorine.
6 Maximum holding time is 24 hours when sulfide is present. Optionally all samples may be tested with lead
  acetate paper before pH adjustments in order to determine if sulfide is present. If sulfide is present, it can
  be removed by the addition of cadmium nitrate powder until a negative spot test is obtained. The sample is
  filtered and then NaOH is added to pH 12.
7 Samples should be filtered immediately on-site before adding preservative for dissolved metals.
8 Guidance applies to samples to be analyzed by GC, LC, or GC/MS for specific compounds.
9 Sample receiving no pH adjustment must be analyzed within seven days of sampling.
10 The pH adjustment is not required if acrolein will not be measured. Samples for acrolein receiving no pH
  adjustment must be analyzed within 3 days of sampling.
11 When the extractable analytes of concern fall within a single chemical category, the specified preservative
  and maximum holding times should be observed for optimum safeguard of sample integrity. When the analytes of
  concern fall within two or more chemical categories, the sample may be preserved by cooling to 4[deg]C,
  reducing residual chlorine with 0.008% sodium thiosulfate, storing in the dark, and adjusting the pH to 6-9;
  samples preserved in this manner may be held for seven days before extraction and for forty days after
  extraction. Exceptions to this optional preservation and holding time procedure are noted in footnote 5 (re
  the requirement for thiosulfate reduction of residual chlorine), and footnotes 12, 13 (re the analysis of
  benzidine).
12 If 1,2-diphenylhydrazine is likely to be present, adjust the pH of the sample to 4.0+-0.2 to prevent
  rearrangement to benzidine.
13 Extracts may be stored up to 7 days before analysis if storage is conducted under an inert (oxidant-free)
  atmosphere.
14 For the analysis of diphenylnitrosamine, add 0.008% Na2S2O3 and adjust pH to 7-10 with NaOH within 24 hours
  of sampling.
15 The pH adjustment may be performed upon receipt at the laboratory and may be omitted if the samples are
  extracted within 72 hours of collection. For the analysis of aldrin, add 0.008% Na2S2O3.

\16\ Sufficient ice should be placed with the samples in the shipping container to ensure that ice is still
  present when the samples arrive at the laboratory. However, even if ice is present when the samples arrive, it
  is necessary to immediately measure the temperature of the samples and confirm that the 4C temperature maximum
  has not been exceeded. In the isolated cases where it can be documented that this holding temperature can not
  be met, the permittee can be given the option of on-site testing or can request a variance. The request for a
  variance should include supportive data which show that the toxicity of the effluent samples is not reduced
  because of the increased holding temperature.
\17\ Samples collected for the determination of trace level mercury (100 ng/L) using EPA Method 1631 must be
  collected in tightly-capped fluoropolymer or glass bottles and preserved with BrCl or HCl solution within 48
  hours of sample collection. The time to preservation may be extended to 28 days if a sample is oxidized in the
  sample bottle. Samples collected for dissolved trace level mercury should be filtered in the laboratory.
  However, if circumstances prevent overnight shipment, samples should be filtered in a designated clean area in
  the field in accordance with procedures given in Method 1669. Samples that have been collected for
  determination of total or dissolved trace level mercury must be analyzed within 90 days of sample collection.
