    1. MCP ANALYTICAL DATA ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMUPDATE Independent Testing Laboratory Association (ITLA) Worcester, Massachusetts 10 April 2002 donald.muldoon@state.ma.us

    2. Data QualityA Relevant and Timely Issue Chemical & Engineering News 1 April 2002 “Some laboratories fall short in quality and/or integrity” Typical problems uncovered by EPA enforcement inspectors Inaccurate manual integrations Dry labbing Method shortcuts and omissions

    7. The Massachusetts Contingency Plan“General Duty Clause” 310 CMR 40.0000

    8. History of the MCP Data Enhancement Program Apr 00: Data Summit in Worcester Jun 00: Convened the Data Enhancement Work Group Jan 01: First MCP Methods Posted on BWSC Web Page Jul 01: Established Data Enhancement Web Page May 02: Conduct Training on Phase I Methods

    9. MCP Data Enhancement Program GOAL: to improve the overall quality and suitability of data used in support of MCP Response Action decision making.

    10. The MCP Data Enhancement Program is …….. Consistent and Complementary with EPA’s Performance Based Measurement Systems (PBMS) Approach Focuses on overall Data Quality with an initial emphasis on Analytical Data Quality Identifies tools that may be used to assess sampling and analytical uncertainty associated with the data used to support MCP risk assessment/characterization decisions.

    11. Basic Elements of Data Quality

    12. Sources of Data Uncertainty

    13. Managing Data Uncertainty

    17. Presumptive Certainty Concept

    18. Presumptive Certainty Concept (continued)

    21. First Training Phase Methods

    22. Second Training Phase Methods

    23. Abridged Implementation Schedule for MCP Data Enhancement Program

    24. MCP Data Enhancement Web Pagewww.state.ma.us/dep/bwsc/files/data/qaqcdocs.htm

    28. Data Evaluation Concepts Simple Approach

    29. Laboratory Responsibility Analyze samples according to the procedures established in SW-846 as modified by the MA DEP for the MCP Report all analytical data for calibrated constituents Provide an exception report based on MA DEP guidelines for MCP deliverables.

    31. Key Elements for Laboratories Specified Analytical Procedures (SW-846, VPH/EPH, etc.) Method-Specific QA/QC Requirements and Performance Standards MCP-Specific Analyte Lists for Applicable Methods Method-Specific Analytical Reporting Requirements Laboratory must Certify Compliance in Case Narrative

    32. Key Elements for Laboratories (contn’d) Required Analytical Deliverables Specified in Method and Non-Deliverables Must Be Available for Audit Evaluation of TICs Required for some GC/MS Analyses Lab Must Report all Analytes Found* to LSP * Analytes identified and quantified in the course of analysis by comparison to an acceptable calibration standard

    33. What changes should laboratories expect? More Informed Client Specific MCP Analytical Requirements More Rigorous QA/QC Analyte Lists Certification and Reporting Increased Field QC Samples More consistent of MADEPAudits of MCP analytical deliverables
