    e)         The following endnotes are appended to method entries in subsections (a) and (b):

     

    1   denotes that, for the particular contaminant, the laboratory should substitute a nitrogen-phosphorus detector for the electron capture detector in USEPA 505 (95) (or use another approved method) to determine alachlor, atrazine, and simazine if it needs a lower detection limit.

     

    2  denotes that the laboratory may not use Syngenta AG-625 (01) for atrazine in any system using chlorine dioxide for treatment.  In samples from all other systems, the laboratory must confirm any result for atrazine using Syngenta AG-625 (01) that is greater than one-half the maximum contaminant level (MCL) (in other words, greater than 0.0015 mg/L or 1.5 μg/L) using another approved method and additional volume of the original sample the supplier collected.  If a result from Syngenta AG-625 (01) triggers confirmatory testing, the supplier must use the confirmatory result to determine compliance.

     

    BOARD NOTE:  This Section derives from 40 CFR 141.24(e) and appendix A to subpart C of 40 CFR 141. The Board did not separately list approved alternative methods from Standard Methods Online that are the same version as a method appearing in a printed edition of Standard Methods.  Using the Standard Methods Online copy is acceptable.
