Amador County – The Sierra Foothill Laboratory President Sandy Nurse appeared before the Amador Water Agency board of directors February 4th to thank them for 31 years of patronage. Nurse told the board her lab is happy to still be in “our community, and employing 24 people, including 17 residents of Amador County.” She said though most people don’t even know about the company, it is prestigiously certified, in the field of testing water. Nurse said the “lab is fraught with detail and was proud to have achieved national accreditation from the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program in 2006. Sierra Foothill Laboratory has been AWA’s primary lab testing facility since 1979. Nurse said they are “1 of 8 labs in the nation” certified to test treated wastewater for discharge into surface water. Locally, they “handle just about everybody.” She said she was visiting AWA as new regulations near, including “the new Ground Water Rule,” to thank the agency for its employment. She also warned about having a lower price. She said SFL is a “partner in the rules” with its clients, and is “local and accessible.” “Many of your field people have our cell numbers,” she said. Their data can be retrieved remotely around the clock, “so they are using it for process control.” She said they are a “for-profit agency,” adding, “we don’t make a huge profit, but who does?” She closed saying “thank you for your trust, loyalty and support.” Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
