The proposed action on laboratory accreditation needs to be further reviewed and discussed - especially as it relates to the negative effects upon environmental monitoring by citizens groups and colleges and universities in Virginia.  Up to this time, the VA DEQ and many other organizations have worked with citizens groups in establishing an extensive network of environmental monitors across the state.  It's not so much accreditation that is being argued here as much as it is the cost(s) incurred by this legislation.  If this action is voted into law, then Virginia stands to lose a huge data gathering resource for the environment - the concerned citizen.
