Method of analysis
portable instruments, mobile laboratory, off-site laboratory, laboratory
procedures, analytical methods, explanation of any nonstandard methods)
♦
Exceptions to standard methodologies
♦
Person responsible for QA/QC
Quality assurance and quality
control (QA/QC)*
♦
Type of QA/QC measures performed
♦
Level of procedures
♦
Exceptions to QA/QC protocol or data quality objectives
♦
Types of residues generated (e.g., off-gases, wastewaters, or sludges)
Other residues
♦
Measurement of mass or volume, and concentration of contaminants in
each treatment residue
*
Note that only general QA/QC information is recommended; any exceptions to the QA/QC procedures should be documented.
c.
For RA reports involving long-term response actions, such as groundwater pump
and treat remedies, interim RA reports should include the most recent performance results, and
information about the project's progress and status in order to indicate how well a technology
has been performing over time. Final RA reports should update the performance data included in
the interim report once the project has been completed.

Factors that Affect Cost and Performance.
a.
The Guide to Documenting and Managing Cost and Performance Information for
Remediation Projects (EPA 542-B-98-007) lists factors that can affect the cost or performance of
a treatment technology and recommends that those factors be documented when reporting
technology cost and performance. These include matrix characteristics, such as soil types, soil
properties, and organic contaminants that may be present in a matrix being treated; and operating
parameters of the treatment system, such as residence time and system throughput. Nonmatrix
characteristics such as geology and hydrogeology for in situ applications are also important to
document. Technologies for which factors are provided are listed in Exhibit 5-2. Suggested
parameters to report for these technologies are provided in Exhibit 5-3.
