Details: SUMMARY: TC Positive Alert Response DETAILS: Dan called to let us know that his routine July sample came back TC positive. He usually drops his sample off with the City of Heppner, who takes their samples to the lab on Tuesdays. However, this week Heppner did not drive them in until Wednesday, so the sample bottle sat in a refrigerator overnight and barely made the 30 hour cutoff at the lab. Dan thinks the extra holding time may have caused the bad result. He will collect four repeat samples early next week after he gets the extra bottles form the lab. ACTION NEEDED: PWS to collect repeat samples. Further actions will be based on those results.
