Deficient Reporting |
Seeley CWD staff collected effluent samples for Ammonia analysis. Samples were delivered to satellite location with chain of custody. Sample was damaged en route to main laboratory location and due to a miscommunication the effluent Ammonia sample analysis was cancelled and this information was not reported by the lab to Seeley staff. By the time this issue was discovered any remaining sample was past holding times and the quarter had ended. Attached is a letter from the laboratory's quality assurance director explaining the situation. |
We cannot comment on what actions the laboratory will take in the event of a similar event happening again. However, Seeley staff will promptly review laboratory results as they arrive for any missing results. |
