Argus provides an extensive range of sampling services. Argus' field technicians are OSHA 40 Hour Certified.
NPDES Sampling
Argus routinely performs grab and composite sampling for all NPDES related parameters. For routine clients, Argus uses preprinted Chain-of-Custodies.
Once your account has been established and your requirements are known, you will not have to call and remind Argus to sample. Your sampling information is entered into a computerized schedule, thus assuring that our field service personnel are always on site when required. Even if you only require a yearly pH and BOD, we will automatically sample as required.
EPA 1669 Sampling
Clean Hands/Dirty Hands is the special sampling technique required for low level metals analysis. This technique requires a minimum of two technicians. Argus' field technicians are well trained in this special sampling technique.
Groundwater monitoring
Argus' field services technicians have the capability to sample monitoring wells up to a depth of 200 feet. Other field measurements include methane monitoring, pH, conductivity, turbidity, and temperature. Extensive field logs provided.
Sample Kits & Containers
Once your routine requirements have been entered into our data base, Argus will automatically ship kits to you well in advance of your scheduled sampling event. For routine NPDES sampling, these kits will include preprinted Chain-of-Custodies and all the required containers with the appropriate preservatives.
For non-routine sampling events, Argus typically supplies sampling kits at no extra cost. However, shipping charges will be applied if overnight courier services are requested. Click on the link provided to order sampling kits. Contact Us
Other Types of Sampling Events
For other sampling activities, such as lagoon closures and land applications, Argus personnel usually work under the direction of the client or an environmental engineering firm. Please contact Client Services for further information.
