What Type of Data Must Be Electronically Reported? AB2886 Electronic Data Deliverables 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 Reporting Electronic Reporting of Analytical Laboratory Data a.k.a. COELT or EDF Began September 1, 2001
What Laboratory Data Is Required? • Soil • Groundwater For all UST samples
Laboratory Sample Results-What is EDF? • 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
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
EDCC Error Checking Program • 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
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

EDF Development at Sequoia Analytical • Fields of Information and create EDF module (performed by our LIMS Co.) • Train all Project Managers on EDF Generation • Dry-run with select clients • Take a proactive approach with all UST clients
How Laboratories Produce and Reporting EDF Data EDCC Program Client Analytical Data Hand-Entered or Uploaded into LIMS Six Flat EDF Files Hand-Entered or Uploaded into COELT Historical EDF Generation Process Client Analytical Data Uploaded into LIMS EDCC Program Six Flat EDF Files Sequoia EDF Generation Process
Requirements for Successful EDF Generation • Notify your lab of your new EDF requirement • REQUEST EDF ON THE CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY (COC)!! • Provide Global ID and Field Point IDs on COC • Make sure “report to:” company/consultant has provided information to ArsenaultLegg, Inc.
Results of EDF Planning • Successfully completing over 300 EDFs per month • Reduced generation time to 15-20 minutes per project • EDF generation will add 5-10% to analytical costs
