The samples were received onMarch 14, 1985 and analyzed by March 18, 1985. The sampleswere analyzed in accordance with Exhibit D and E of the U.S.EPA Contract Lab Program protocols. In addition, a matrixspike was added to every tenth sample, (protocol requires 1matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate per case) two levels oftrichloroethylene (10 ppb and 200 ppb) were analyzed as aquality control audit and two field blanks (one for eachcooler) were analyzed.

The results of the analysis are listed in Table 1 and 2.
