Thank you all for the information so far. I have yet to digest it all!
I think I should help with a couple of clarifications: we are looking at
potentially uneven sampling groups (n1 = 10, n2 = 15) and we do have unequal
variances.
The ultimate task at hand is to determine if the concentrations (of a
constituent) from one area are consistent with the concentrations from the
other area. EPA has requested a ttest with diff = StDev.
