BAnalyte is found in the associated blank as well as in the sample (CLP B-flag).
B-01This analyte was found in the method blank, which was possibly contaminated in the lab during preparation. The reporting limit was raised due to the contamination.
B-06This analyte was found in the method blank, which was possibly contaminated during sample preparation. The batch was accepted since this analyte was either not detected or more than 10 times of the blank value for all the samples in the batch.
B-07This analyte was found in the method blank at levels above the MDL but below the reporting limit.
B-field No field blank was either received or specified in this batch. Therefore, samples were analyzed without field blank.
BOD-01The sample dilutions set-up for the BOD analysis did not meet the oxygen depletion criterion of at least 2 mg/l, therefore the reported result is an estimated value only.
BOD-02The sample dilutions set up for the BOD analysis did not meet the criterion of a residual dissolved oxygen of at least 1 mg/l, therefore the reported result is an estimated value only.
BS-03The recovery of this analyte in the BS/LCS was outside the control limits. The sample result was accepted based on another acceptable BS/LCS and/or MS and MSD that meet BS criteria.
BS-HThe recovery of this analyte in the BS/LCS was over the control limit. Sample result is suspect.
BS-LThe recovery of this analyte in the BS/LCS was below the control limit. Sample result is suspect.

COD_ClCOD result is analyzed with chloride correction.
DryWtThe result is in dry weight basis.
EThe concentration indicated for this analyte is an estimated value above the calibration range of the instrument. This value is considered an estimate (CLP E-flag).
E-01The concentration indicated for this analyte is an estimated value above the calibration range.
FILTThe sample was filtered prior to analysis.
HC-02Hydrocarbon pattern present in the requested fuel quantitation range but does not resemble the pattern of the requested fuel.
I-03Low internal standard recovery possibly due to matrix interference or leak in system. The result is suspect.
I-05Low internal standard recovery possibly due to matrix interference . The result is suspect.
JDetected but below the Reporting Limit; therefore, result is an estimated concentration (CLP J-Flag).
MSample result is matrix suspect.
M-01Result is not valid due to high sample background
M-02Due to the nature of matrix interferences, sample was diluted prior to extraction. The reporting limits were raised due to the dilution.
M-03Due to insufficient sample volume, sample was diluted prior to extraction. The reporting limits were raised due to the dilution.
M-04Due to the nature of matrix interferences, sample extract was diluted prior to analysis. The reporting limits were raised due to the dilution.
M-05Due to the nature of matrix interferences, sample was diluted prior to analysis. The reporting limits were raised due to the dilution.
MS-01The spike recovery for this QC sample is outside of established control limits possibly due to sample matrix interference.
MS-02The RPD and/or percent recovery for this QC spike sample cannot be accurately calculated due to the high concentration of analyte inherent in the sample.
MS-03Multiple analyses indicate the percent recovery is out of acceptance limits due to a possible matrix effect.
MS-05The spike recovery and/or RPD were outside acceptance limits for the MS and/or MSD due to possible matrix interference. The LCS and/or LCSD were within acceptance limits showing that the laboratory is in control and the data is acceptable.
MS-08Due to the nature of matrix interferences, sample was diluted prior to analysis. The MS/MSD could not be quantitated due to the dilution. The batch was accepted based on acceptable LCS recovery.
MS-10Due to insufficient sample, LCS/LCSD were analyzed in place of MS/MSD.
MS-11The QC limits for MS/MSD are not applicable due to positive sample background.
O-04This analysis was performed outside the EPA recommended holding time.
O-05The extraction for this analyte was performed outside of the EPA recommended holding time.
O-07Sample date and/or time was not provided by client. Therefore, default date and/or time has been entered. The analysis may be outside of recommended holding time.
O-08The original extraction and/or analysis of this sample yielded QC recoveries outside acceptance criteria. It was re-extracted/re-analyzed after the recommended maximum hold time.
O-09This sample was received with the EPA recommended holding time expired.
O-11The sample was originally analyzed within holding time. However, it required a dilution and the re-analysis was performed after the recommended holding time had expired.
O-14This analysis was requested by the client after the holding time was exceeded.
O-15The sample was received with the recommended holding time nearly expired. It was analyzed as soon as possible but the maximum holding time was slightly exceeded.
O-25This sample was received unpreserved and with the recommended holding time for preservation of 48 hours expired.
P-2Sample received without proper preservation and was preserved at the lab upon receiving.
Q-02Low recovery of this analyte in the QC sample. The analysis of the low level standard produced acceptable recovery indicating that the sample result might be accurately reported as Not Detected.
Q-08High bias in the QC sample does not affect sample result since analyte was not detected.
Q-10This analyte has high bias in QC sample, the result is suspect.
Q-12The RPD result exceeded the QC control limits possibly due to a possible matrix effect; however, both percent recoveries were acceptable. Sample results for the QC batch were accepted based on the percent recoveries and/or other acceptable QC data.
R-01The Reporting Limit for this analyte has been raised to account for matrix interference.
R-02Elevated Reporting Limits due to limited sample volume.
R-03The RPD is not applicable for result below the reporting limit (either ND or J value).
R-04Due to foaming, the sample was diluted prior to analysis. The reporting limits were raised due to the dilution.
R-05The sample was diluted due to the presence of high levels of non-target analytes resulting in elevated reporting limits.
RAD-1Gross Alpha: DLR (Detection Limits for Purposes of Reporting) = 3 pCi/L, and MCL (Maximum contaminant Level) = 15 pCi/L.
RAD-2Gross Beta: DLR (Detection Limits for Purposes of Reporting) = 4 pCi/L, and MCL (Maximum contaminant Level) = 50 pCi/L.
S-01The surrogate recovery could not be calculated due to sample dilution required from high analyte concentration and/or matrix interferences.
S-02The surrogate recovery for this sample cannot be accurately quantified due to interference from coeluting organic compounds present in the sample extract.
S-03High surrogate recovery for this sample is possibly due to a sample matrix effect. The data was accepted since all target analytes were not detected.
S-04The surrogate recovery for this sample is outside of established control limits due to possible sample matrix effect.
S-05Surrogate recovery was below acceptance limit possibly due to matrix effect. Sample data was justified as acceptable since all target analytes were still not-detected or below the reporting limits when adjusted accordingly to surrogate recovery.
S-07Surrogate recovery out of acceptance limits for this sample is possibly due to sample matrix effect, confirmed by re-extracting and/or re-analyzing the sample.
S-08No surrogate recovery, possibly surrogate spiking was missed.
S-09Wrong amount spiked, quantification is not accurate
S-10Surrogate recovery outside method QC limits due to extraction related problems
S-ACAcid surrogate recovery outside of control limits due to a possible matrix effect. The data was accepted based on valid recovery of remaining two acid surrogates.
S-BLKSurrogate recovery outside of control limits for Method Blank. The data was accepted since all target analytes were not detected
S-BNBase/Neutral surrogate recovery outside of control limits due to a possible matrix effect. The data was accepted based on valid recovery of remaining two base/neutral surrogates.
S-BSSurrogate recovery outside of control limits for LCS. The data was accepted based on valid recovery of the target analytes.
S-GCSurrogate recovery outside of control limits due to a possible matrix effect. The data was accepted based on valid recovery of the remaining surrogate.
