Dear Mr. Siderius;

 

Please find enclosed the results for 3 grain size samples received on July 24, 2003.  These samples

were processed according to procedures described by Plumb, 1981.  All analyses were performed

consistent with our laboratory's quality assurance program, and all samples met the quality control

criteria specified in the above methods and/or our internal SOPs.  This report is to be reproduced in its entirety.

 

We will dispose of the samples in 30 days unless you specify otherwise.  Thank you for allowing us the opportunity of processing your sediment samples and please call if you have any questions.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Sheila Holt
