WAC 246-390-075. Reporting

(1) A lab shall report analytical results to the department and the public water system. (2) A lab submitting paper reports shall complete and submit to the department data reports following the procedures and templates in the department's Laboratory Reporting Guidance , Publication DOH 331-530, April 2025. (3) A lab submitting electronic reports shall complete and submit to the department data reports following the procedures in the department's Electronic Reporting Guidance , Publication 331-289, April 2025. (4) Labs shall submit reports to the public water system in the format and time frame that was agreed upon when executing the service agreement between the laboratory and the public water system. (5) Labs shall submit reports of acute contaminant results within 10 business days after receiving the sample. (6) Labs shall submit reports of chronic contaminants within 30 calendar days after receiving the sample. (7) Analytical results must be complete, legible, and accurate. (8) A lab shall report numerical results consistent with the accuracy of the EPA-approved methods and any associated lab instruments, glassware, or tools. (9) A lab shall report numerical results out to, but not exceed, one decimal place past the SDRL in cases where the last definitely known digit exceeds one decimal place past the SDRL as follows: (a) If the digit 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 is dropped, increase the preceding digit by one unit; (b) If the digit 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 is dropped, do not alter the preceding digit; or (c) If the SDRL is 1.1 and the result, out to the last definitely known digit is 1.13, then the value reported to the department is 1.1. If the result is 1.15, then the value reported to the department is 1.2. (10) A lab shall include the following data qualifiers adjacent to the results that are affected: (a) "B" - This data qualifier is used when the target contaminant is detected in the method blank above the lab's established MRL or SDRL, whichever is lower; (b) "J" - This data qualifier is used when the result is an estimated concentration per subsections (13), (14), and (17) of this section; (c) "NDDS" - This data qualifier is used when the contaminant is not detected in duplicate sample; or (d) "U" - This data qualifier is used when the radiochemistry contaminant is not detected at or above the lab's established MDA. (11) A lab shall notate on the report to the public water system and the department when any analysis is completed using a provisional accreditation. (12) At the department's request, a lab shall submit the following information: (a) The method specific QC for any given analytical report. (b) The most recent MDL procedures performed for any given contaminant. (c) The most recent PT study performed for any given contaminant. (13) The SDRLs for organic chemical contaminants are established in Tables 3 and 7 of this section. All contaminants in Tables 3 and 7 are considered chronic contaminants. (a) Labs shall provide a copy of the method specific QC results at the request of the department. (b) A lab shall report organic chemical contaminant results when the lab's established MRL is greater than the SDRL as follows: (i) "Nondetect" or "ND" when a lab's result is less than the SDRL and MRL; (ii) An estimated concentration, notated with a "J" data qualifier when a result is equal to or greater than the SDRL, but less than the lab's established MRL; (iii) A number when a result is equal to or greater than the lab's established MRL. (c) A lab shall report organic chemical contaminant results when the lab's established MRL is less than the SDRL as follows: (i) "Nondetect" or "ND" when a lab's result is less than the lab's established MRL; (ii) "Nondetect" or "ND" when a lab's result is less than the established SDRL; or (iii) A number when a result is equal to or greater than the SDRL. (d) A lab shall report organic chemical contaminant results when their established MRL is equal to the SDRL as: (i) "Nondetect" or "ND" when a lab's result is less than the SDRL and MRL; or (ii) A number when a result is equal to or greater than the SDRL and the lab's established MRL.

(a) Labs shall provide a copy of the method specific QC results at the request of the department. (b) A lab shall report inorganic chemical contaminant results when the lab's established MRL is greater than the SDRL as follows: (i) "Nondetect" or "ND" when a lab's result is less than the SDRL and MRL; (ii) An estimated concentration, notated with a "J" data qualifier, when a result is equal to or greater than the SDRL, but less than the lab's established MRL; or (iii) A number when a result is equal to or greater than the lab's established MRL.

(d) A lab shall report PFAS contaminant results when the lab's established MRL is less than the SDRL as follows: (i) "Nondetect" or "ND" when a lab's result is less than the lab's established MRL; (ii) "Nondetect" or "ND" when a lab's result is less than the established SDRL; or (iii) A number when a result is equal to or greater than the SDRL. (e) A lab shall report PFAS contaminant results when the lab's established MRL is equal to the SDRL as follows: (i) "Nondetect" or "ND" when a lab's result is less than the SDRL and MRL; or (ii) A number when a result is equal to or greater than the SDRL and the lab's established MRL. (f) A lab shall report to the department any tentatively identified compounds (TIC) that are detected while analyzing a PFAS sample if the approved method allows for TIC determinations to be made.
