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.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The laboratory staff contacted this office for technical assistance regarding Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). Successful
technical assistance involving the preparation and analysis of the annual TRC calibration curve verification standards
was provided. Standards from numerous serial dilutions covering the working range of the meter were prepared from
dehydrated potassium permanganate. These standards were compared to the factory set curve. Each standard and
the correlation coefficient of all the standards were within acceptable limits.
This was an abbreviated inspection which focused on TRC. The inspector did verify that all of the Findings from the
previous inspection conducted on July 18, 2014 had been corrected.
The facility has all of the equipment necessary to perform the calibration verification and analysis.
Proficiency testing samples for the 2015 proficiency testing calendar year had not been analyzed, but were in house
ready to be analyzed.
FINDINGS. REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
No findings were noted.
PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:
No paper trail was performed.
V. CONCLUSIONS:
No findings were noted during the inspection. The inspector would like to thank the staff for its assistance during the
technical assistance process. No response is required.
