Kelso has a dedicated Drinking Water laboratory, which was developed in order to service the growing need for clean water and the associated testing required to verify purity. CAS has been performing drinking water testing since 1989 for inorganic and volatile organic compounds. The expansion into full service testing, including all of the regulated and unregulated compounds of concern allows Kelso to support clients 1 nationwide. A few of the more advanced analytical techniques employed at CAS/Kelso include specialized sample preparation, ultra-trace PAHs and alkylated homologs analyses, GC/ECD analysis for individual PCB congeners, isotope dilution for volatile and semivolatile organics, ultra-trace organotin speciation, pore water sample preparations and analyses, clean room techniques for ultra-trace metals, advanced chemical Y q , separations for ultra-trace metals, purge and trap atomic fluorescence for ultra-trace mercury, specialized inorganic testing (e.g., chromium reducible sulfur, microbially i reducible iron, etc.), explosives testing, and numerous other procedures which have been developed for specific applications and projects. CAS/Redding, California occupies over 17,000 square feet of space. The laboratory specializes in high-end data deliverable packages (i.e. CLP, AFCEE and CLP-like deliverables) for federal (AFCEE, ALOE, Navy, EPA,) and private sector clients. The advanced data management and reporting systems the laboratory uses provides the capability to produce custom, comprehensive electronic data deliverables. Much of the federal client work CAS/Redding performs is routinely validated by third party validation companies. CAS/Redding's laboratory also contains a soil science laboratory to support our agricultural, physical, mining and exploration and production clients. I CASISImi Valley, California is a nationally recognized air-testing laboratory that specializes in the analysis of ambient and indoor air pollution, stationary source emissions, process gas and industrial hygiene samples. The laboratory has performed testing on projects for clients in all the U.S. States, Puerto Rico, Guam and several other countries. In addition, CAS/Simi Valley has provided analytical support to colleges and universities located throughout the United States. CAS/Simi Valley is accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association. i Routine tests performed by the laboratory include: analysis of microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) and speciated hydrocarbons in SUMMA® and Si.lco Page 4 of 29 I
