Samples will be accepted Monday - Thursday between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM. We cannot receive stormwater samples on Fridays; this is due to the Aquatic Toxicity analysis, which has a 36-hour hold time, and is sub-contracted. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Notes:
The 4 oz. cup that is supplied with pH strips inside is to measure the pH of the rain. Please open this cup and allow the rain to freely fall inside while you are sampling. When sampling is complete, please close the lid and return to the lab for analysis.
Some permits require additional analyses; please check your permit.
