All data were reviewed for accuracy and precision. The review
included an evaluation of method blanks, matrix spikes and duplicates, and surrogate recoveries to assure acceptable method performance. The laboratory data were reviewed and data qualifiers were added as appropriate. The data qualifiers used were defined as follows: E - Estimated value; U - Concentration is less than the value shown. Data have undergone extensive review and validation. All data entered in the database were reviewed for data entry errors. All detected errors were corrected. No data gaps.
