Phase I Environmental Investigation Report, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Marion County, Indiana, Volume 2. Revised
Abstract
This appendix describes and presents the results of an evaluation of Fort Benjamin Harrison (FBH) analytical data quality based on data validation of the analytical results, the U.S. Army Environmental Center's (USAEC's) review of the control charts produced by the analytical laboratories, and a summary of the precision, accuracy, representativeness, completeness, and comparability (PARCO) parameters. This evaluation was used to assess whether the data quality objectives (DQOs) established for the FBH Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Facility Investigation and Environmental Investigation (RF/EI) Work Plan (HLA, 1993b) were satisfied. During the Phase I FBH field investigation, six sites were classified as El Sites (El Sites 1 through 5). All remaining sites were investigated as RFI Sites. For this discussion of data validation and data quality, the acronym El refers to El Sites 1 through 6. REl refers to the remaining sites investigated during the Phase I field program. Detailed data validation with subsequent qualification of analytical results was performed on the background and site analytical results with the exception of analytical results for El Sites 1 through 6. However, it is assumed that the findings of HLA's detailed validation can be applied in general terms to the El Sites 1 through 6 data which represents only 12.3 percent of the FBH analytical data. In addition, the USAEC's control chart review includes both RFI and El data. Therefore, the data quality assessment discussed in this appendix relates to the FBH analytical data as a whole.
