This report in its entirety consists of the documents listed below. All documents contain the Summit
Environmental Technologies, Inc. Work Order Number assigned to this report.
Paginated Report including: Cover Letter, Case Narrative, Analytical Results, Applicable Quality
Control Summary Reports and copies of the Chain of Custody Documents supplied with this sample
set.
Concentrations reported with a J flag in the Qual field are values below the Limit of Quantitation
(LOQ) but greater than -the established Limit of Detection (LOD). There is greater uncertainty
associated with these results and data should be considered as estimated.
Method numbers, unless specified as SM (Standard Methods) or ASTM, are EPA methods.
Estimated uncertainty values are available upon request.
Any comments or problems with the analytical events associated with this report are noted below.
