1. Laboratory Certification

The laboratory shall have a current laboratory accreditation including either the State of Oregon Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program or the Washington State Department of Ecology Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program for the analytes required in the task. If the laboratory cannot conduct a specific analytical process they may contract with another laboratory to perform the analysis. That laboratory must meet this requirement.

3. Supplies

The analytical laboratory will provide enough sample containers to conduct the approximate quantity of samples detailed in the table above. Enough coolers and freezer packs shall be prepared for pickup to sufficiently pack all sets of samples along with chain of custody forms. There will be enough room to add additional ice packs in the coolers to maintain temperature storage requirements. The laboratory will provide specific packaging and handling instructions for the containers and each sample container will labeled for the test it will be used for. Any preservatives will be described. Coolers will be labeled for proper DOT shipment.
