The Environmental Analysis Laboratory routinely conducts 
analysis on the following types of samples:

  1. Water (e.g., ground water monitoring wells, drinking-well water, agricultural run-off,etc.) 
  2. Waste Water (e.g., lagoon liquid, food processing, effluent, poultry processing sludge, etc. 
  3. Solid Waste (e.g., poultry litter, compost, manure, etc.) 
  4. Soils ( e.g., waste amended soils, background soils, etc.) 
  5. Plant tissue (e.g., Bermuda grass, corn leaf, etc.)

The procedures are mainly EPA approved wet chemistry analyses of nutrients, mineral demand, and metals. A list of Analysis conducted can be found here.
