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 facility has all the equipment necessary to perform the analyses. Proficiency Testing
(PT) samples have been analyzed for all certified parameters for the 2012 proficiency
testing calendar year and the graded results were 100% acceptable
Contracted analyses are performed by Environment 1, Inc. (Certification #10).
Current quality assurance policies for Field Laboratories and the approved procedures
for the analysis of the facility's currently certified parameters were provided at the time
of the inspection. The aforementioned approved procedures have undergone revision
since the inspection and contain new requirements. Current versions will be enclosed
with the laboratory's 2013 certificate.
Ill. FINDINGS REQUIREMENTS COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
pH — Standard Methods, 4500-H+ B-2000
A. Finding: The laboratory is not verifying the calibration with a pH check standard
buffer.
Requirement: In addition to the calibration buffers, the meter calibration must
be verified with a third standard buffer solution. Ref: NC WW/GW LC Approved
Procedure for Field Analysis of pH.

#5070 Harvest Time Foods
B. Finding: The laboratory is not including units of measure for pH on laboratory
benchsheets.
Requirement: Data pertinent to each analysis must be maintained for five years.
Certified Data must consist of date collected, time collected, sample site, sample
collector, and sample analysis time. The field benchsheets must provide a space
for the signature or initials of the analyst, and proper units of measure for all
analyses. Ref: 15A NCAC 02H .0805 (g) (1).
PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:
The paper trail consisted of comparing field testing records and contract lab reports to
Monitoring Reports submitted to the Pitt County Dept. of Environmental Health. Data
were reviewed for Harvest Time Foods (Pitt Co. permit # 13624-99) for June, July and
August of 2012. No transcription errors were detected. The facility appears to be doing a
good job of accurately transcribing data.
V. CONCLUSIONS:
Correcting the above -cited findings will help this lab to produce quality data and meet
certification requirements. The inspector would like to thank the staff for its assistance
during the inspection and data review process. Please respond to all findings.
