Project Description:
Procure specialized up-to-date field monitoring equipment, 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 FY2023 funding.
Project Scope:
To ensure continuity, PCS presented a plan for five years' funding to replace equipment that had reached the end of its warranty, was deteriorating, and was no longer usable such as specialized data loggers, cameras, and canisters. This equipment will expand and fortify the lab, update the existing air monitoring network, and provide new equipment for the emergency response and field teams.
The below tables show the status of requests for the first and second years of the five-year plan.
