Certification

a)         Whenever a deficiency is found, a certified environmental

laboratory may be placed on provisional certification.  Provisional

certification may be imposed for the following periods:

quality of analytical data generated by the environmental laboratory; or

2)         From 90 days to one year in the case of any other type of

deficiency.

b)         A provisionally certified laboratory may continue to analyze

samples for compliance purposes, but shall notify its clients of its

provisionally certified status by providing that information in writing, as

soon as practicable. In no event shall written notice be given later than 3

days after the imposition of provisionally certified status and shall also

include such information on any report of any analysis performed during the

period of provisional certification.
