EXH AR019631: Table I — Water MDLs, PQLs, Method B Values Comparison (μg/L)

This document is a technical laboratory reference table listing method detection limits (MDLs), practical quantitation levels (PQLs), and published water quality values for a wide range of chemical compounds in various water matrices, including wastewater, groundwater, and drinking water. It compares laboratory PQL ranges against Method B groundwater and surface water standards for chemicals such as acenaphthene, acrolein, aldrin, arsenic, benzene, and PCB compounds. The table is used to assess whether analytical detection capabilities meet regulatory thresholds for water quality monitoring purposes.

Notes

Administrative Record exhibit AR019631 (Exhibit 282) from the PCHB Third Runway EIS proceeding. Three-page table comparing Method B laboratory PQL ranges against published PQLs for water matrices including wastewater, groundwater, drinking water, and waste/groundwater. Lists MDLs (μg/L) and PQLs (μg/L) for dozens of chemicals by CAS number including acenaphthene, acenaphthylene, acrolein, acrylamide, acrylonitrile, alachlor, aldicarb, aldrin, aniline, anthracene, antimony, aramite, Aroclor 1016/1221/1232/1242/1248/1254/1260 (PCBs), arsenic, asbestos, atrazine, azobenzene, benz[a]anthracene, benzene, benzidine, benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzotrichloride, benzyl chloride, benzyl alcohol, beryllium, bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane. Detection methods include GC/MS, GC-FID, GC-ECD, HPLC, GC-NP, FAA, GFAA, ICP, GH-AA. Methods referenced include 8270, 8240, 8030, 8020, 625, 1625, 610/8310, 503.1, 505, 505.2, 507, 508, 608/8080, 617, 619, 7061, 7090, 7091, 204.1, 6010, 204.2/7041, 140-57-8, 206.2, 200.7/6010, NPDES-400, 611. Compares GW and SW Method B values (μg/L) with flags indicating PQL exceeding Method B GW or SW values. Part of the Sea-Tac Airport Third Runway EIS administrative record filed with the Pollution Control Hearings Board of the State of Washington.
