a.
QA/QC procedures for Passaic River Estuary management information system (PREmis) datasets as described by TSI
(2004) in Table 3-49 (Sediment) and Tables 3-53, 3-65 (Tissue).
b.
Quantitative QA/QC includes the analysis of field and laboratory duplicates, rinsate blanks, matrix spike/matrix spike
duplicates, and other quantitative measures of precision and accuracy but without specification of implementing USEPA
Region 2 data validation procedures.
c.
Data validation activities were performed by Severn-Trent Laboratories in accordance with the USEPA Method, the
Laboratories’ Standard Operating Procedure, and the Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. Statement of Work.
d.
Includes the 1999-2001 analytical data, in accordance with the work plan published in 1999 by Chemical Land Holdings,
Inc. (CLH).
e.
In addition to internal QA/QC procedures, partial datasets were verified by Booz Allen Hamilton.
