2023 Sampling

Sampling occurs on the 2nd Saturday of each month from March through November. All samplers must attend a training in order for our data to be accepted by the Ohio EPA. 

​

New Sites for 2023? We are currently looking at our sampling sites to see if we need to add a few more locations. 

SW corner of Butler County - we are currently seeking a sampler for the Ross / Morgan Twp area. If you are interested, please email Lynn. 

​

Lab Volunteers

We use doodle to signup lab volunteers- just to make sure you don't drive to the lab needlessly.  You will need to contact Lynn to receive the link for the parking pass for Miami. 

​

Lab Training Videos

Thanks to Zak Schultz, one of the 2020 awesome graduate students, we now have training videos for each of the lab stations.
