Unit VIII Discussion Board Question

Consider the Unit VIII Lesson scenario regarding the waste characterization and subsequent disposal of the filter cake from the treatment process. What would be the best “next step” if you accidentally requested total (not TCLP) values for your ordered analytical run, and your initial analytical laboratory report demonstrated a total benzene concentration of 2.5 ppm: (a) dispose of the waste as characterized by the initial laboratory report, or (b) re-run the analysis for TCLP benzene? Why?
