Project Description:
Procure specialized up-to-date air monitoring, communications, emergency response, field monitoring, and lab equipment to expand laboratory testing capacity and build redundancy to ensure service continuity. The project procures specialized analytical equipment that will be able to perform new required tests, such as monitoring equipment for both air quality and water quality programs. As noted above, the court is only asked to approve FY2025 funding.
Project Scope:
The funding will replace equipment that had reached the end of its warranty, was deteriorating, and was no longer usable. This equipment will expand and fortify the lab, update the existing air monitoring network, and provide new communications, emergency response, and field team equipment.
