A guidance manual is presented by the American Petroleum Institute (API) to assist in arranging for and understanding laboratory analysis of petroleum industry wastewaters. The manual is designed for environmental coordinators, managers, corporate staff, field personnel, and others who must address environmental compliance reporting and regulatory issues. This manual is applicable to wastewaters from petroleum refining, marketing and pipeline terminals, underground storage tank cleanups, and petroleum production facilities. Guidance and information are provided for setting data quality objectives; planning analyses; selecting a laboratory; and reviewing laboratory reports, detection and quantification limits, quality assurance/quality control practices, method references, method-defined analytes, and statistical calculations. The manual contains information on two levels: The first presents the most critical inforrmation in a simple format that can be read quickly, and the second discusses additional detail and related topics. Examples of case studies, laboratory reports, and data calculations are given throughout the manual. Checklists are provided to help users understand, plan, and review laboratory data.
