This directory of services, materials, and performance evalua-
tions, available from the two Environmental Monitoring Systems Labora-
tories (EMSLs), locatsq in Las Vegas, Nevaca, anc Sesaarcn Triangle
Park, North Carolina, and the one Environmental Monitoring and Support
lascratcry (also EMSL), located in Cincinnati, Ohio, is offered by the
Quality Assurance Management Staff (QAMS) in response to many requests
from 'reel ana! and program office Quality Assurance (OA Officers. Its
surpass 'is to olace uncer cne cover information recarc-ing availaoility

Quality Control (QC) samples are furnished without charge to
interested governmental, industrial, commercial, and private labora-
tories for use as secondary checks on their within-laboratory quality
control programs. The sarnoles are intended as indeoendent measures of

In adaiticn to these services and materials, EMSL-Cincinnati also
provides direct supncrt by administering the Alternate Test Procedure
Program in bctn the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and
the National Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations. All alternate
test procedures intended for limited use aoolications that are con-
sidered for approval at the state and regional level are forwarded to
MSL-Cincinnati for technical 'review and consistency witn previous
actions. Raccnsnencaticns are provided tc trie reauesting region ar.c
