Sampling Event Summary

Site: Bluewater, New Mexico, Disposal Site (Private Wells)

Sampling Period: August 13-14, 2013 & October 1-2, 2013

Groundwater beneath the U.S. Department of Energy Bluewater, New Mexico, uranium milltailings disposal site is monitored for mill-related constituents. Monitoring of site wells indicatethat groundwater with elevated concentrations of uranium is leaving the site. Private wells in thevicinity of the Bluewater site were sampled to evaluate the extent of elevated uraniumconcentrations and to ensure protection of human health and the environment.

Samples from six private wells (B00003, BOO050A, BOO050B, B00168, B00518, and B01614)were collected. Sampling and analyses were conducted as specified in the Sampling and AnalysisPlan for U.S. Department of Energy Office of Legacy Management Sites (LMS/PRO/S04325,continually updated). Duplicate samples were collected from locations B00050B and B00518.Analytical results for the constituents are provided in Table 1.

Data Qualifier Summary

None of the analytical results required qualification.

Sample Shipping/Receiving

GEL Laboratories in Charleston, South Carolina, received four water samples onAugust 15, 2013, accompanied by a Chain of Custody form. The air bill number was listed in thereceiving documentation. The Chain of Custody form was checked to confirm that all of thesamples were listed with sample collection dates and times, and that signatures and dates werepresent indicating sample relinquishment and receipt. The Chain of Custody form was completewith no errors or omissions.



Page 9

IPreservation and Holding Times

The sample shipment was received intact with the temperature inside the iced cooler at 3 'C,which complies with requirements. All samples were received in the correct container types andhad been preserved correctly for the requested analyses. All samples were analyzed within the Iapplicable holding times.

Detection and Quantitation Limits

The method detection limit (MDL) was reported for all analytes as required. The MDL, as 3defined in 40 CFR 136, is the minimum concentration of an analyte that can be measured andreported with 99 percent confidence that the analyte concentration is greater than zero. Thepractical quantitation limit (PQL) for these analytes is the lowest concentration that can bereliably measured, and is defined as 5 times the MDL. The arsenic and selenium laboratoryMDLs are greater than the MDLs specified in the applicable line item codes but were acceptedfor this RIN. The reported MDLs for all analytes demonstrate compliance with contractualirequirements.

Laboratory Instrument Calibration 3Compliance requirements for satisfactory instrument calibration are established to ensure that theinstrument is capable of producing acceptable qualitative and quantitative data for all analytes.Initial calibration demonstrates that the instrument is capable of acceptable performance in thebeginning of the analytical run and of producing a linear curve. Compliance requirements forcontinuing calibration checks are established to ensure that the instrument continues to be Ucapable of producing acceptable qualitative and quantitative data. All laboratory instrumentcalibrations were performed correctly in accordance with the cited methods. All calibration andlaboratory spike standards were prepared from independent sources.i

Method EPA 300. 0Calibrations for chloride and sulfate were performed using five calibration standards on VAugust 19, 2013. The calibration curve correlation coefficient values were greater than 0.995 andthe absolute values of the intercepts were less than 3 times the MDL. Initial and continuingcalibration verification checks were made at the required frequency with all calibration checks Umeeting the acceptance criteria.

Methods EPA 310.1/ SM 2320B, SM 2540C *iThere are no initial or continuing calibration requirements associated with the alkalinity or totaldissolved solids methods. 3Method EPA 353.2Calibrations for nitrate + nitrite as N were performed using five calibration standards onAugust 23, 2013. The calibration curve correlation coefficient values were greater than 0.995 and Uthe absolute values of the intercepts were less than 3 times the MDL. Initial and continuingcalibration verification checks were made at the required frequency with all calibration checkresults within the acceptance criteria.

DVP-August and October 2013, Bluewater, New Mexico U.S. Department of EnergyRIN 13085537 and 13095651 December 2013Page 10

Method SW-846 601 OBCalibrations for calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium were performedSeptember 6, 2013, using three calibration standards. The correlation coefficient values weregreater than 0.995. The absolute values of the intercepts were less than 3 times the MDL. Initialand continuing calibration verification checks were made at the required frequency. Allcalibration checks met the acceptance criteria, with the exception of one potassium check. Therewere no reported results associated with this check. Reporting limit verification checks weremade at the required frequency to verify the linearity of the calibration curve near the PQL. Allcheck results were within the acceptance range of 70 to 130 percent recovery with the exceptionof some results for potassium and sodium. This indicates a higher degree of uncertainty inmeasuring potassium and sodium at low concentrations. All affected results were greater than5 times the PQL, so no qualification is necessary.

Method SW-846 6020ACalibrations were performed for arsenic, molybdenum, selenium, and uraniumSeptember 10-11, 2013, using two calibration standards. The calibration curve correlationcoefficient values were greater than 0.995. The absolute values of the calibration curve interceptswere less than 3 times the MDL. Initial and continuing calibration verification checks were madeat the required frequency. All calibration checks met the acceptance criteria. Reporting limitverification checks were made at the required frequency to verify the linearity of the calibrationcurve near the PQL and all results were within the acceptance range. Mass calibration andresolution verifications were performed at the beginning of each analytical run in accordancewith the analytical procedure. Internal standard recoveries associated with requested analyteswere stable and within acceptable ranges.

Method and Calibration Blanks

Method blanks are analyzed to assess any contamination that may have occurred during samplepreparation. Methods without sample preparation do not require the analysis of a method blank.Calibration blanks are analyzed to assess instrument contamination prior to and during sampleanalysis. All method blank and calibration blank results were below the PQL with the exceptionof some potassium calibration blanks. There were no reported results for field samples associatedwith these blanks. Molybdenum was detected in a method blank, but the method blank wasbracketed by a calibration blank with detectable molybdenum; no results for field samples werequalified. In cases where a blank concentration exceeds the MDL, the associated sample resultswere greater than 5 times the blank concentration.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Interference Check Sample Analysis

Interference check samples were analyzed at the required frequency to verify the instrumentalinterelement and background correction factors. All check sample results met the acceptancecriteria.

Matrix Spike Analysis

Matrix spike (MS) samples are used to measure method performance in the sample matrix. TheMS data are not evaluated when the concentration of the unspiked sample is greater than 4 timesthe spike. The spike recoveries met the acceptance criteria for all analytes evaluated. (A sulfate


Page 11

Uspike recovery was above the laboratory acceptance range but less than the validation upperlimit, not requiring qualification.) The matrix spikes for metals, nitrate + nitrite as N, and Ialkalinity were performed on samples from another site.

Laboratory Replicate Analysis 5Laboratory replicate analyses are used to determine laboratory precision for each sample matrix. 3The relative percent difference for replicate results that are greater than 5 times the PQL shouldbe less than 20 percent. For results that are less than 5 times the PQL, the range should be nogreater than the PQL. All replicate results met these criteria, demonstrating acceptable precision.The laboratory replicates for metals and nitrate + nitrite as N were performed on samples fromanother site.

Laboratory Control Sample

Laboratory control samples were analyzed at the correct frequency to provide information on theaccuracy of the analytical method and the overall laboratory performance, including samplepreparation. All control sample results were acceptable.

Metals Serial Dilution

Serial dilutions were prepared and analyzed for the metals analyses to monitor chemical orphysical interferences in the sample matrix. Serial dilution data are evaluated when theconcentration of the undiluted sample is greater than 50 times the MDL. For the serial dilutionanalysis, the laboratory used a sample from another site. This data cannot be used for serial Idilution evaluation.

Completeness i

Results were reported in the correct units for all analytes requested using contract-requiredlaboratory qualifiers. IChromatography Peak Integration

The integration of analyte peaks was reviewed for all chromatography data. All peak integrationswere satisfactory. 3Anion/Cation Balance

The anion/cation balance is used to determine if major ion concentrations have been quantifiedcorrectly. The total anions should balance with (be equal to) the total cations when expressed inmilliequivalents per liter. Table 3 shows the total anion and cation results in groundwatersamples from this event and the charge balance, which is a relative percent differenceIcalculation. Typically, a charge balance difference of 10 percent is considered acceptable. I

applicable holding times with the following exception. Multiple dilutions were required for thechloride and sulfate analysis and some of the dilutions were analyzed slightly outside of theholding time. The results from these dilutions are acceptable as qualified.

Detection and Quantitation Limits

The MDL was reported for all analytes as required. The MDL, as defined in 40 CFR 136, is theminimum concentration of an analyte that can be measured and reported with 99 percentconfidence that the analyte concentration is greater than zero. The PQL for these analytes is thelowest concentration that can be reliably measured, and is defined as 5 times the MDL. Thearsenic and selenium laboratory MDLs are greater than the MDLs specified in the applicable lineitem codes but were accepted for this RIN. The reported MDLs for all analytes demonstratecompliance with contractual requirements.

Laboratory Instrument Calibration

Compliance requirements for satisfactory instrument calibration are established to ensure that theinstrument is capable of producing acceptable qualitative and quantitative data for all analytes.Initial calibration demonstrates that the instrument is capable of acceptable performance in thebeginning of the analytical run and of producing a linear curve. Compliance requirements forcontinuing calibration checks are established to ensure that the instrument continues to becapable of producing acceptable qualitative and quantitative data. All laboratory instrumentcalibrations were performed correctly in accordance with the cited methods. All calibration andlaboratory spike standards were prepared from independent sources.

Method EPA 300. 0Calibrations for chloride and sulfate were performed using five calibration standards onOctober 17, 2013. The calibration curve correlation coefficient values were greater than 0.995 andthe absolute values of the intercepts were less than 3 times the MDL. Initial and continuingcalibration verification checks were made at the required frequency with all calibration checksmeeting the acceptance criteria.

Methods EPA 310.1/SM 2320B, SM 2540CThere are no initial or continuing calibration requirements associated with the alkalinity or totaldissolved solids methods.

Method EPA 353.2Calibrations for nitrate + nitrite as N were performed using five calibration standards onOctober 9, 2013. The calibration curve correlation coefficient values were greater than 0.995 andthe absolute values of the intercepts were less than 3 times the MDL. Initial and continuingcalibration verification checks were made at the required frequency with all calibration checkresults within the acceptance criteria.

Method SW-846 601 OBCalibrations for calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium were performed October 30, 2013,using three calibration standards. The correlation coefficient values were greater than 0.995. Theabsolute values of the intercepts were less than 3 times the MDL. Initial and continuingcalibration verification checks were made at the required frequency. All calibration checks met


Page 19

Ithe acceptance criteria. Reporting limit verification checks were made at the required frequencyto verify the linearity of the calibration curve near the PQL and all results were within the Iacceptance range.

Method SW-846 6020ACalibrations were performed for arsenic, molybdenum, selenium, and uranium October 21, 2013,using two calibration standards. The calibration curve correlation coefficient values were greaterthan 0.995. The absolute values of the calibration curve intercepts were less than 3 times theMDL. Initial and continuing calibration verification checks were made at the required frequency.All calibration checks met the acceptance criteria. Reporting limit verification checks were made 3at the required frequency to verify the linearity of the calibration curve near the PQL and allresults were within the acceptance range. Mass calibration and resolution verifications wereperformed at the beginning of each analytical run in accordance with the analytical procedure. 3Internal standard recoveries associated with requested analytes were stable and within acceptableranges.

Method and Calibration Blanks

Method blanks are analyzed to assess any contamination that may have occurred during sample 3preparation. Methods without sample preparation do not require the analysis of a method blank.Calibration blanks are analyzed to assess instrument contamination prior to and during sampleanalysis. All method blank and calibration blank results were below the PQL. In cases where a mblank concentration exceeds the MDL, the associated sample results were greater than 5 timesthe blank concentration.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Interference Check Sample Analysis

Interference check samples were analyzed at the required frequency to verify the instrumental 3interelement and background correction factors. All check sample results met the acceptancecriteria. pMatrix Spike Analysis

Matrix spike (MS) samples are used to measure method performance in the sample matrix. The IMS data are not evaluated when the concentration of the unspiked sample is greater than 4 timesthe spike. The spike recoveries met the acceptance criteria for all analytes evaluated. The matrixspikes for metals were performed on samples from another site. A matrix spike analysis was not lperformed for alkalinity.

Laboratory Replicate Analysis ULaboratory replicate analyses are used to determine laboratory precision for each sample matrix.Tht relative percent difference for replicate results that are greater than 5 times the PQL shouldbe less than 20 percent. For results that are less than 5 times the PQL, the range should be nogreater than the PQL. All replicate results met these criteria, demonstrating acceptable precision.The laboratory replicates for metals were performed on samples from another site.

Laboratory Control Sample

Laboratory control samples were analyzed at the correct frequency to provide information on theaccuracy of the analytical method and the overall laboratory performance, including samplepreparation. All control sample results were acceptable.

Metals Serial Dilution

Serial dilutions were prepared and analyzed for the metals analyses to monitor chemical orphysical interferences in the sample matrix. Serial dilution data are evaluated when theconcentration of the undiluted sample is greater than 50 times the MDL. For the serial dilutionanalysis, the laboratory used a sample from another site. This data cannot be used for serialdilution evaluation.

Completeness

Results were reported in the correct units for all analytes requested using contract-requiredlaboratory qualifiers.

Chromatography Peak Integration

The integration of analyte peaks was reviewed for all chromatography data. All peak integrationswere satisfactory.

Anion/Cation Balance

The anion/cation balance is used to determine if major ion concentrations have been quantifiedcorrectly. The total anions should balance with (be equal to) the total cations when expressed inmilliequivalents per liter. Table 5 shows the total anion and cation results in groundwatersamples from this event and the charge balance, which is a relative percent differencecalculation. Typically, a charge balance difference of 10 percent is considered acceptable.

meq/L = milliequivalents per liter

The charge balance values met the acceptance criteria, indicating acceptable analyticalperformance.

EDD File

The EDD file arrived on November 1, 2013. The Sample Management System EDD validationmodule was used to verify that the EDD file was complete and in compliance with requirements.The module compares the contents of the file to the requested analyses to ensure all and only therequested data are delivered. The contents of the EDD were manually examined to verify that thesample results accurately reflect the data contained in the sample data package.
