Regulations Governing the Certification of Non-Commercial Environmental Laboratories [1 VAC 30 ‑ 45]
Action:
Revise Regulation to Update Procedural and Fee Requirements
Action 3726
 
General Information
Action Summary 1VAC30-45 sets out the requirements to certify noncommercial laboratories that analyze environmental samples used to determine compliance with the State Water Control Law, Virginia Waste Management Act, and the Virginia Air Pollution Control Law. The proposed action will eliminate all the requirements related to the initial certification period. These changes mainly affect the application procedures. The process to renew certification will be streamlined, reducing the cost for both the agency and the accredited laboratories. The proposed action will revise the fees charged to laboratories under the program. The current fees are insufficient to support the program because fewer laboratories applied for certification than originally anticipated.
