Table 3. Total organic carbon and purgeable organic compound concentrations and F-pseudosigma estimated sample standard deviations after purging 1 and 3 borehole volumes of water from selected wells during 2004 and 2005, with statistical comparisons of analytical results, Idaho National Laboratory, Idaho.

[See figures 1 and 2 for location of wells. Analytical results and F-pseudosigma uncertainties are in milligrams per liter (mg/L) or micrograms per liter (µg/L). Shading indicates not statistically comparable at the 95-percent confidence level. Z-value, calculated using equation 1 (a Z-value less than or equal to 1.96 suggests statistical equivalence at the 95-percent confidence level). Abbreviations: BHV, borehole volume; F-pseudos, F-pseudosigma (estimated sample standard deviation reported as 1 sigma); MRL, minimum reporting level; NA, not applicable; NS, not sampled; USGS, U.S. Geological Survey; <, less than]
