What Type of Data Must Be Electronically Reported? Begins September 1, 2001 Laboratory Soil and Groundwater Sample Results Begins January 1, 2002 Sample Locations (latitude/longitude) Monitoring Well Elevation Data Groundwater Well Data (DTW, free product & status) Site Map AB2886 Electronic Data Deliverables

Electronic Reporting of Analytical Laboratory Data Began September 1, 2001 AB2886 Electronic Reporting a.k.a. COELT or EDF

Soil Groundwater For all UST samples What Laboratory Data Is Required?

A way to transfer laboratory and field information electronically The electronic version of a laboratory report Includes: –Chain-of custody information –Laboratory results –Quality assurance information 3 “Flat” files or 6 files Laboratory Sample Results- What is EDF?

Examples of EDF Contents Analytical Results Laboratory Ids Analysis Date Preparation batch Results Chain-of-Custody Data Global ID** Field Point Name** Sample IDs Collection Date/Time Preservation ** Client Provided QA/QC data Control Limits Surrogates Blanks Spikes

Format Errors Fields submitted in incorrect order Incorrect valid values Logic Errors, such as… Analysis date prior to sample date Test without results Content Errors Detection limits greater than reporting limits EDCC Error Checking Program

Get Ready For Electronic Reporting Verify that your analytical lab can produce EDF –Review/modify your laboratory contracts –Test your lab’s EDF format by using the desktop EDCC application from SWRCB AB2886 web site Check GeoTracker “AB2886” link for new documents and information
