The samples were analyzed for 69 volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), 8 metals, sulfate, total coliform and nitrate-nitrogen by the Minnesota Department of Health laboratory. Enclosed is the Final Reports on all tests. Please note that all sample results were within an acceptable range. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at 651-430-6703.

The samples were analyzed for 69 volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), 8 metals, sulfate, total coliform and nitrate-nitrogen by the Minnesota Department of Health laboratory. To date, we have received preliminary reports on all tests with the exception of sulfate, scheduled for analysis on December 17, 1998. No VOCs were detected above the laboratory reporting limit. VOCs are a category of chemicals which include solvents, cleaners, and petroleum products. No metals (arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium or silver) were detected above the laboratory reporting limit. Nitrate-nitrogen was not present in your sample and total coliform bacteria was absent. Together, testing for total coliform and nitrate-nitrogen are the EPA established indicators of sanitary drinking water quality. I will forward copies of the sulfate results and final copies of all results referenced above as soon as they are received in this office. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at 651-430-6703.
