| Short Description |
The Department of Ecology′s Environmental Assessment Program collects water samples for Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and other water quality studies. During these studies, field replicate samples are often collected to analyze the overall precision of both the field sampling and laboratory analysis process. This report summarizes replicate data from 12 TMDL studies and recommends precision measurement quality objectives for conventional water quality parameters such as fecal coliform bacteria and dissolved oxygen.

| Abstract | Long Description |
The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) Environmental Assessment Program collects water quality samples for developing Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and other studies. During these studies, field replicate samples are often collected to analyze the overall precision of both the field sampling and laboratory analysis process. This report summarizes replicate data from 12 TMDL studies and recommends precision measurement quality objectives for conventional water quality parameters collected by the Environmental Assessment Program and analyzed by Manchester Environmental Laboratory. |
