Making the data work

Laboratory and field data collected during each sampling period were evaluated using project QA/QC protocols, tabulated and reported to the WDNR. Also, reports of the private supply well samples were prepared for each private residence with appropriate explanation and/or clarification of the results.

The accumulated data was submitted to the WDNR Waste Management Program GEMS on a routine basis in accordance with the WDNR Publication, PUB-WA 1357 for preparing and submitting landfill environmental monitoring data.
