REMARKS.--Samples are filtered through a glass-fiber membrane filter with openings that are 0.7 microns in size to
remove sediment and microorganisms. Therefore, this schedule is suitable for compounds dissolved in water.
Each sample was analyzed for all of the compounds in this schedule. The MDL provides an index to indicate
where measurement uncertainty is increased. When an analyte is detected and all criteria for a positive
result are met, the concentration is reported. If the Concentration is less than the MDL, an 'E' code will be
reported with the value. If the analyte is qualitatively identified as present, but the quantitative
determination is substantially more uncertain, the NWQL will identify the result with an 'E' code even though
the measured value is greater than the MDL. A value reported with an 'E' code should be used with caution.
When no analyte is detected in a sample, the default reporting value is the MDL preceded by a less than sign
(<).
