This page contains information about the Inorganic Superfund Methods (ISM02.0) Statement of Work (SOW).
General Information
ISM02.0 defines the analytical methods for the isolation, detection, and quantitative measurement of 23 metals and cyanide in aqueous/water and soil/sediment samples, and total metals analysis in wipes. The SOW also includes Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP) leachate extraction procedures. Analyses are performed using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption (CVAA), and colorimetric techniques.
PLEASE NOTE!!
ISM02.0 is a new statement of work with significant technical and reporting changes. EPA recommends a thorough review of the document.
ISM02.0 in PDF Format
SOW Updates
Please note that ASB intends to make the following modifications to the ISM02.0 SOW:
- Exhibit B Section 2.6.2 – “The format of the PDF file should be Case Number_SDG Number_Contract Number_Submission Type.” to “The format of the PDF file should be HCD_Case Number_SDG Number_Contract Number_Submission Type."
- Exhibit B Section 1.1, Footnote 6 – “The PDF file name should be Case Number_SDG Number_Contract Number_Method.” to “The PDF file name should be PR_Case Number_SDG Number_Contract Number_Method.”
- Exhibit D Section 12.2.4.2 - Under "SA=", the second sentence will now read "is calculated by substituting the spike concentration specified in Section 12.2.3.2. for the “C” term from EQ. 3 or EQ. 4."
- Appendix A Section 1.0 – “The format for the Excel file name shall be SOW Number_Analytical Method_Preparation Method_Instrument ID_Level_Matrix.xls.” to “The format for the Excel file name shall be MDL_SOW Number_Analytical Method_Preparation Method_Instrument ID_Level_Matrix.xls.”
