PFAS Guidance Updates – HWRB
https://www4.des.state.nh.us/nh-pfas-investigation/?page_id=130
![Page 9: NH PFAS Assessments...May 17, 2019 · NH PFAS Assessments HWRB approach to screening and site investigations ACEC CQI – May 17, 2019](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040404/5e9347719fbd072d7f4d8e1b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Notifications and Potable Water
• For an exceedance, report as required by rule.
HWRB also requests verbal/email notification
• Potable water for impacted drinking water wells (> AGQS) should be provided by PRP
![Page 10: NH PFAS Assessments...May 17, 2019 · NH PFAS Assessments HWRB approach to screening and site investigations ACEC CQI – May 17, 2019](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040404/5e9347719fbd072d7f4d8e1b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Receptor Surveys – Updated or New• Self-initiate for timely
response• Contact PM with scope
questions
• Distance is site specific –consider:
• Type of release• Age and duration of release• Impacted media and geology• Migration pathways• Contaminant fate and
transport• Prior receptors (if any)
• Subsequent survey may be necessary
• Does not replace DES WMD Notification Program
General recommendations:
• Two weeks …
• confirm connections within 500 to
1,000 feet of sampling location
• notify applicable properties
• Four weeks … sample

Sample Collection Guidance• New studies
• Considerations• Sample collection order
• Does (or did) the equipment contain PFAS?
• Filtering samples
• Personal care products
• Sampling Locations• Air-water interface vs.
multi-depth
• pH, TOC, cations
• Co-contaminants/NAPL
![Page 13: NH PFAS Assessments...May 17, 2019 · NH PFAS Assessments HWRB approach to screening and site investigations ACEC CQI – May 17, 2019](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040404/5e9347719fbd072d7f4d8e1b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Laboratory Testing – Waste Sites*• Routine Methods
• USEPA 537 and 537.1• LC/MS/MS Isotope Dilution
• DOD QSM 5.1 or later
• “MODIFIED”
• Other Methods• TOPA• LC-QTOF-MS (Non-Target) • PIGE• EOF/AOF
• Draft / Pending (2019)• USEPA SW-846
• Method 8327 (screening, 24 PFAS, aqueous)
• Method 8328 (isotope dilution, 25 PFAS, aqueous and solid)
• AFFF and AR-AFFF • 29 PFAS
• Laboratory Accreditation• USDOD ELAP • NELAP• Other - USEPA UCMR3

Data Review and Validation
Consider:
• Linear and branched isomers
• Surrogate recoveries
• Subcontracted lab COCs
• NDs > RLs
EPA and DoD/DOE Guides
