The samples were received in a sealed cooler at 11.3°C on July 3, 2015. Arsenic speciation analyses were performed via ion chromatography inductively coupled plasma collision reaction cell mass spectrometry (IC-ICP-CRC-MS). All samples requesting iron speciation analysis were analyzed by spectrophotometry. Mn(II) analysis was performed via IC-ICP-CRC-MS. Mn(IV) analysis were performed via digestion and subsequent analysis by inductively coupled plasma triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (ICP-QQQ-MS). Any issues associated with the analyses are addressed in the following report. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Sincerely, Russell Gerads Business Development Director Brooks Rand Labs, LLC 3958 6th Ave NW • Seattle, WA 98107 • T: 206-632-6206 • F: 206-632-6017 • www.brooksrand.com • brl@brooksrand.com Page 8 of 23 Brooks Rand Labs, LLC Report prepared for: Peggy Kendall Duke Energy Analytical Laboratory Mail Code MGO3A2 (Building 7405) 13339 Hagers Ferry Rd. Huntersville, NC 28078 Project: Duke Energy Cape Fear Plant (LIIVIS# J15070268) July 30, 2015 1. Sample Reception Three (3) aqueous samples were submitted for arsenic speciation, iron speciation, and manganese speciation analyses on June 30, 2015. The samples were received in acceptable condition on July 3, 2015 in a sealed container at a temperature of 11.3*C. Brooks Rand Labs highly recommends maintaining a sample temperature of 40C during shipping to mitigate molecular conversions which may bias results. The sample fractions requesting iron speciation analysis were stored in a secure, monitored refrigerator (maintained at a temperature of <6°C) until the analyses could be performed. An aliquot of each sample submitted for arsenic speciation analysis was filtered (0.45µm) into a polypropylene centrifuge tube; all filtrates and original bottles were then stored in a secure, monitored refrigerator (maintained at a temperature of <6°C) until the analyses could be performed. An aliquot of each filtered sample submitted for manganese speciation analysis was decanted into a polypropylene centrifuge tube for Mn(II) analysis. These fractions were stored in a secure, monitored refrigerator (maintained at a temperature of <6°C) until the analyses could be performed. Subsequently, the original bottles (filtered and unfiltered fractions) intended for Mn speciation were preserved to pH < 2 with concentrated HNO3 and then stored in a secure polyethylene container, known to be free from trace metals contamination, until the digestion could be performed. 2. Sample Preparation All sample preparation is performed in laminar flow clean hoods known to be free from trace metals contamination. All applied water for dilutions and sample preservatives are monitored for contamination to account for any biases associated with the sample results. Page 9 of 23 Arsenic Speciation Analysis by IC-ICP-CRC-MS An aliquot of each sample was filtered directly into a sealed autosampler vial. No further sample preparation was performed as a buffered EDTA solution was provided by Brooks Rand Labs for field -preservation of the submitted samples. Iron Speciation Analysis by Spectrophotometry No sample preparation was required as a de - gassed HCL solution was provided by Brooks Rand Labs for field -preservation of the submitted samples. Manganese Mn(II Analysis by IC-ICP-CRC-MS An aliquot of each sample was filtered (0.45µm) directly into an autosampler vial for Mn(II) analysis. No additional sample preparation was performed as any chemical alteration of the samples may shift the equilibrium of the system resulting in changes in speciation ratios. Manganese Mn (I ' Anal sy is by ICP-QQQ-MS Each filtered and unfiltered sample submitted for Mn speciation analysis was preserved with 1 % HNO3 (v/v) upon sample receipt. Each sample fraction was then further digested on a hotblock apparatus with aliquots of 50% HNO3 (v/v) and 50% HCl (v/v), in accordance with the digestion procedure specified in EPA Method 200.8. All resulting sample digests were analyzed for total manganese via inductively coupled plasma triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (ICP-QQQ-MS). 3. Sample Analysis All sample analysis is preceded by a minimum of a five -point calibration curve spanning the entire concentration range of interest. Calibration curves are performed at the beginning of each analytical day. All calibration curves, associated with each species of interest, are standardized by linear regression resulting in a response factor. All sample results are instrument blank corrected to account for any operational biases associated with the analytical platform. Prior to sample analysis, all calibration curves are verified using second source standards which are identified as initial calibration verification standards (ICV). Ongoing instrument performance is identified by the analysis of continuing calibration verification standards (CCV) and continuing calibration blanks (CCB) at a minimum interval of every ten analytical runs. Arsenic Speciation Anal sy is by IC-ICP-CRC-MS Each sample was analyzed for arsenic speciation via ion chromatography inductively coupled plasma collision reaction cell mass spectrometry (IC-ICP-CRC-MS) on July 10, 2015. Aliquots of each sample are injected onto an anion exchange column and eluted isocratically. The eluting arsenic species are then introduced into a radio frequency (RF) plasma where energy -transfer processes cause desolvation, atomization, and ionization. The ions are extracted from the plasma through a differentially -pumped vacuum interface and travel through a pressurized chamber (CRC) containing a specific collision gas. Polyatomic interferences, due to their inherently larger size, collide more frequently with the collision gas and therefore may be separated from the Page 10 of 23 analyte of interest via kinetic energy discrimination (KED). A solid-state detector detects ions transmitted through the mass analyzer on the basis of their mass -to -charge ratio (m/z), and the resulting current is processed by a data handling system. Retention times for each eluting species are compared to known standards for species identification. Iron speciation Anal sy is b�Spectrophotomet�y All samples submitted for Fe speciation quantification were analyzed on July 3, 2015 and in accordance with the scientifically accepted method outlined by: Stookey, L.L., (1970). "Ferrozine - A new spectrophotometric reagent for iron", Anal.Chem., 42:779-81. Manganese Mn(II) Analysis by IC-ICP-CRC-MS All samples for Mn(II) analysis were analyzed by ion chromatography inductively coupled plasma collision reaction cell mass spectrometry (IC-ICP-CRC-MS) on July 9, 2015. Aliquots of each sample are injected onto an anion exchange column and mobilized by an acidic (pH < 7) gradient. An ion pairing agent provides a dynamic ion exchange mechanism for the cationic manganese species on the chromatographic column. The differences in the affinity of manganese species towards the ion pair agent and the column results in separation. The eluting selenium species are then introduced into a radio frequency (RF) plasma where energy -transfer processes cause desolvation, atomization, and ionization. The ions are extracted from the plasma through a differentially -pumped vacuum interface and travel through a pressurized chamber (CRC) containing a reaction gas which preferentially reacts with interfering ions of the same target mass to charge ratios (m/z). A solid-state detector detects ions transmitted through the mass analyzer and the resulting current is processed by a data handling system. Retention times for each eluting species are compared to known standards for species identification. Manganese Mn(IV) Analysis by ICP-QQQ-MS All samples submitted for Mn speciation quantitation were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (ICP-QQQ-MS) on July 7, 2015. Aliquots of each sample digest are introduced into a radio frequency (RF) plasma where energy -transfer processes cause desolvation, atomization, and ionization. The ions are extracted from the plasma through a differentially - pumped vacuum interface and travel through an initial quadrupole (Q1), which filters the target masses prior to their entrance into a second chamber. The second chamber contains specific reactive gasses or collision gasses that preferentially react either with interfering ions of the same target mass to charge ratios (m/z) or with the target analyte, producing an entirely different mass to charge ratio (m/z) which can then be differentiated from the initial interferences. The ions then exit the collision/reaction cell into and additional quadrupole (Q2). A solid-state detector detects ions transmitted through the mass analyzer, on the basis of their mass -to -charge ratio (m/z), and the resulting current is processed by a data handling system. Page 11 of 23 4. Analytical Issues No significant analytical issues were encountered. All quality control parameters associated with the samples were within acceptance limits. Mn(IV) is quantified by analyzing the water samples for total Mn and dissolved Mn. Mn(IV) is operationally defined as the difference between the filtered and unfiltered total Mn concentrations, since it is thermodynamically favored to be in the form of a precipitate. The eMDL value for Fe(II) and total recoverable Fe was set at 5 based on the sensitivity of the instrument. The eMDL for Mn(II) has been generated from replicate analyses of the lowest standard in the calibration curve. The eMDL values for Mn(IV) been calculated using the standard deviation of the method blanks prepared and analyzed concurrently with the submitted samples.
