I. INTRODUCTION:

This laboratory was inspected by a representative of the North Carolina Wastewater/Groundwater
Laboratory Certification (NC WW/GW LC) program to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A
NCAC 2H .0800 for the analysis of environmental samples.

II. GENERAL COMMENTS:

Ms. Kimberlie Temple accepted the offer of technical assistance after getting two unacceptable results
on Suspended Residue Proficiency Testing (PT) samples. The laboratory was given the opportunity to
analyze two consecutive quick response PTs with acceptable results in lieu of decertification.

During the technical assistance visit, one PT and a discharge sample were analyzed in front of the
auditor. The other PT was analyzed the following day and both PTs were within acceptance limits.
Suspended Residue was the only parameter reviewed and nothing was revealed as the cause of the
unacceptable results.

The laboratory submitted their Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) document in advance of the
inspection. This document was reviewed and editorial revision requirements and recommendations
were made by this program outside of this formal report process. Although subsequent revisions were
not requested to be submitted, they must be completed by July 21, 2017.

III. FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

No Findings were noted.

IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:

No paper trail was conducted due to the nature of the inspection.

V. CONCLUSIONS:

No Findings were noted during the inspection. The inspector would like to thank the staff for their
assistance. No response is required.
