Board approves updated nitrate testing policy, lab quality manual and water forms
Summary
Committee approved revised nitrate testing policy and associated lab quality manual, updated water testing forms and a water-sample business acceptance policy by voice votes; staff said changes were minimal and required for an on-site lab review later this year.
Committee members moved and approved a set of procedural documents related to water testing and nitrate lab operations needed for an upcoming on-site lab review. Staff described the changes as minimal and focused on lab procedures and forms.
The items considered and approved by voice vote included: the nitrate testing policy and procedure, the nitrate lab quality manual, updated water testing forms, and the water-sample business acceptance policy. A single bundled approach was used for several items but members also handled individual motions when requested; each motion carried with "aye" from those present.
Staff said the paperwork update is routine and part of annual compliance steps tied to lab accreditation and DNR reviews; committee action cleared the items for implementation. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript; approvals were by unanimous voice vote as documented.
