The Regional Laboratory located at the General Offices of GBRA in Seguin provides technical assistance and support to GBRA's operations, as well as municipalities, water districts, industries, engineering firms and other organizations as they comply with federal, state and local regulatory requirements that protect water quality.
The Regional Laboratory is equipped to perform physical, chemical and biological analyses of water from natural streams, water and wastewater treatment plants, groundwater wells and treatment residuals. The laboratory is also open to area classroom teachers and civic groups for tours. Students working on science projects often obtain technical expertise from Regional Laboratory employees and these employees frequently provide assistance to local and regional science fair competitions.
A Laboratory Director, two Laboratory Analysts, and two Laboratory Technicians staff the Regional Laboratory. These employees continually educate themselves through training offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Texas Engineering Extension Service, Texas Water Utility Association and other associations.
The National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Congress (NELAC) was formed in 1995 to establish standards and promote the accreditation of environmental laboratories. The program, called the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP) includes standards covering laboratory practices, total quality management, personnel, training and facilities. By the spring of 2004, the TCEQ will become a NELAC accrediting authority and will begin accepting applications from laboratories providing data to the commission. The GBRA Regional Laboratory is adopting the NELAC standards and will apply for accreditation through the TCEQ when it becomes available.
