ANALYSIS OF WASTEWATER_CWA - SCOPE OF WORK

Background Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (MCB CAMLEJ) conducts monitoring of wastewater as required by and in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations. Wastewater monitoring is conducted from multiple facilities aboard the installation to include the Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), the Consolidated Water Treatment Plant, and Municipal Solid Waste Landfill, as well as select locations within the New River. MCB CAMLEJ’s Environmental Laboratory Section (ELS) is responsible for collecting all samples for submittal to an outside testing laboratory for analysis. All testing laboratories must be certified by the state of North Carolina (NC) for analysis of compliance samples.
