Sampling and Reporting

Proper sampling of manure produced at the dairy, soils used for land application, green water contained in lagoons, and groundwater is critical for obtaining quality data. This quality data is essential for understanding the current status of your operation and for reporting as part of your permit requirements. Sampling must be performed following methods and standards established by state and Federal agencies.

Reporting Services:

GGI’s staff of trained and experienced technicians strictly conducts the sampling methods as specified in guidelines by the state and Federal agencies. We understand the importance of deadlines and accuracy of reporting results are critical to the regulatory agencies. We apply strict quality assurance/quality control methods in all of our monitoring activities to ensure a report of the highest quality.

Why choose GGI for your sampling and reporting needs? At GGI, we do not just submit the reports, we follow a process. Our qualified experts analyze the laboratory reports, compare results with past reports, and notify the dairy owner of any issues. We investigate all potential sources to determine a cause for the issue (such as laboratory errors, sampling errors, unusual well conditions) and then advise the dairy owner of the cause. If the problem cannot be addressed by this review process, GGI will discuss with the dairy owner a second sampling of the same location to confirm the initial results. GGI then submits your report to the regulatory agency with the quality data.
