Sampling Protocols and Their Role in Generating Defensible Data

Sampling Protocols and Their Role in Generating Defensible Data, is a comprehensive and in depth review of sampling protocols including pre-sampling preparations, sampling procedures, and post sampling follow-up. Specific topics include: personnel training and safety, equipment calibrations, paperwork and documentation, bottle preparation, site accessibility, representative sampling, and much more. This workshop touches upon specific sampling protocols for low level mercury, bioassay, and 2F Storm water.

Who Should Attend
This course is aimed at the needs of operators, field technicians and those who perform wastewater sampling.

This course will also benefit those who are responsible for sampling techniques and quality assurance in the field. This includes plant operators and superintendents, consultant and industrial environmental engineers.

Learning Objectives
Attendees will learn the skills necessary to develop a defensible sampling program. The program provides an in depth, hands-on approach to the wastewater sampling techniques.

Upon completion, you will have an understanding of the importance of designing and implementing a defensible sampling program. You will acquire the practical skills and knowledge that supports defensible data.

Course Description
The Environmental Sampling Seminar is a 2-day sampling program. It is offered either as a one day seminar or a two day seminar with Day 1 as the prerquisite to Day 2. This program provides the latest concepts and ideas for wastewater sampling. The course combines lecture with field work.
The participants will gain an in depth, on-the-job training while performing the various sampling techniques during the duration of the course!
The course work covers a wide range of sampling techniques including grab and composite sampling, low level mercury, bioassay, and storm water sampling.
    • Learn NPDES terms that can help you avoid permit violations.
    • Identify safety hazards on the job!
    • Get the right bottle with the correct preservative – every time!
    • Understand hold times and analytical requirements to avoid costly “lab accidents.”
    • Learn why documentation is critical, “If it is not written down, it didn’t happen.”
    • Learn what makes a sample ‘representative.’
    • Prepare to perform measurements in the field – chlorine, pH, Dissolved
      Oxygen, Conductivity.
    • Learn why the ‘clean hands – dirty hands’ technique may be essential for Low
      Level Mercury collection.
    • Learn the ins and outs of bioassay sampling- the techniques that save you
     money.

YOUR PARTNER IN SUCCESS
Alloway provides products and services developed to benefit and support laboratories of all types. Most importantly, Alloway offers many innovative concepts that contribute to laboratory development and the generation of defensible data.

Alloway is a full service, commercial environmental testing laboratory located in Lima and Mansfield, Ohio.

Our vision was developed from our growth and success during the past 20 years at our own testing facilities, Alloway Environmental Testing Services (AETS). AETS provides analytical and field services to municipalities, industries, consultants, and other commercial environmental laboratories.

As AETS grew, we perceived a “void” in our industry. There were limited sources for training, laboratory development, peer review, software, and other support services. We formed our vision to become a laboratory resource to include solutions to these needs, and to compliment our testing services. With the focus being on laboratory support services, Alloway evolved into a global resource provider to the laboratory community.
Our products and services are constantly expanding to meet the needs of the environmental and nonenvironmental testing industries.

Alloway maintains memberships in national, regional and state industry organizations. Being active in the industry allows us to be on the cutting edge of advancements in technology, changes in regulations and opportunities for market growth.
