Looks like the EPA is making changes to a bunch of methods. Oil and Grease, BOD, lots of the 4500 series. I haven't read the entire 167 page document, but am in the process. Does anyone see any changes that will affect very much of their testing in the labs? And are these open for public comment?

Looks like the EPA is looking to make changes to Coliform testing that would affect water wells for smaller communities such as apartments and maybe national parks. Also state the level of E. coli must not be present at all. Levels for Total Coliform of certain levels will require additional testing and actions.

Since this has not been addressed since 1989 Total Coliform Rule, sounds like a good plan for our drinking water supplies.

(ATLANTA – May 26, 2010) – Due to recent flooding in western and central Tennessee, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Region 4 wants to ensure that families are not at increased risk for lead poisoning, because of clean up and/or repair work. EPA urges pregnant women and children to keep away from work that could disturb lead-based paint and that those working on potential lead-based paint surfaces take precautions to prevent the spread of lead dust.

We've talked with a couple of our customers at Environmental Express about the Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Some are doing some analysis as either government labs or commercial work for industries involved. Air Testing near the shore and water chemistry for contaminants in the seawater. What are others doing? Let us know. |
