J The reported value is greater than the Method Detection Limit but less than the Reporting Limit.

H The hold time for sample preparation and/or analysis was exceeded.

D The result is reported from a dilution.

E The result exceeded the linear range of the calibration or is estimated due to interference.

MC The result is below the Minimum Compound Limit.

* The result exceeds the Regulatory Limit or Maximum Contamination Limit.

m Manual integration was used to determine the area response.

d Manual integration in which peak was deleted

N The result is presumptive based on a Mass Spectral library search assuming a 1:1 response.

P The second column confirmation exceeded 25% difference.

C The result has been confirmed by GC/MS.

X The result was not confirmed when GC/MS Analysis was performed.

B/MB+ The analyte was detected in the associated blank.

G The ICB or CCB contained reportable amounts of analyte.

QC-/+ The CCV recovery failed low (-) or high (+).
