ABSTRACT
The presentation will challenge a number of the legacy practices in both the laboratory and the environmental industry. We have come to accept that they are the common industry standard does it really add value to the data quality or the program? Is there a technical basis for the practice or has it been an administrative determination that has survived unchallenged for decades? How do we move forward eliminating non-value added practices, using technology to improve data quality and reduce costs. A number of examples will be provided to facilitate discussion among the various stakeholders.
