Richard, Thanks for the clarifications you sent along. Since Mike will be out this week, | will take a crack at asking some follow-questions to get a better handle on things. (1} How many samples, at each of the 17 facilities you originally requested, were you hoping to have analyzed for the list of various emerging contaminants you had provided in your request? A single sample at each facility ... for a total of 17 samples in 2013? (2) in your 3" paragraph below you stated the following: “The analyses could be conducted by the state laboratory where possible (drinking water or environmental lab} or at a properly cartified/acceptable contract laboratory if the program’, you meant the WRD’s Surface Water Assessment Saction, of which Mike is one of the unit chiefs, correct? It seems obvious, but | just wanted to make sure. (i have attached your original request for in case you want to reference it.)
