DoD Perchlorate Handbook, Revision 1, May 2007 The Department of Defense
(DoD) Environmental Data Quality Workgroup (EDQW) prepared the
DoD Perchlorate Handbook
to assist DoD facilities in complying with current DoD policy governing
perchlorate sampling and testing activities for both environmental
restoration/cleanup and compliance monitoring programs. Intended users
of this document include DoD Remedial Project Managers
(RPMs), contractor project managers, and field-sampling personnel. This
handbook includes guidance on the following:
Sampling and Testing for Perchlorate at DoD installations The 29 September 2003 Interim Policy
directed DoD Components to continue to consolidate data on the occurrence of perchlorate at active and closed installations,
ranges, and Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS). The
Sampling
and Testing Interim Guidance provides interim guidance developed by the Department of Defense Environmental Data Quality Work
Group (EDQw) to assist Components in complying with the Interim Policy. In particular, the
guidance is intended to alert installations and data users about the limitations of currently
approved EPA Methods 314.0 and SW 846-9058 (draft), the potential for false positives, and the
need to verify results by alternate, definitive performance-based methods, such as those
employing Mass Spectrometry technology. The
EDQW is in the process of developing detailed guidance for the characterization
of perchlorate under Environmental Restoration and Range Assessment programs,
expected to be issued late in FY 04.
New Approaches to Perchlorate Analysis IDQTF/EDQW Forum As a follow up to the Joint IDQTF/DoD EDQW Roundtable on the
State of the Art in Analysis of Perchlorate in Environmental Samples,
the DoD Environmental Data Quality Workgroup (EDQW) and the
Intergovernmental Data Quality Task Force (IDQTF) held a Perchlorate
Session at the EPA Region 6 Quality Assurance (QA) Conference on
October 20th 2004.
