Summary

This dataset contains laboratory standard reference sample concentrations analyzed by RTI Laboratories, the analytical laboratory used by the Gwinnett County, Georgia study. These water-quality-control samples are part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Standard Reference Samples (SRS) Project inter-laboratory comparison study. RTI Laboratories sample concentrations along with the included inter-laboratory result statistics (for most probable value and standard error) can be used to assess the laboratory’s analytical precision and bias. Sample concentrations are reported for 12 constituents for 13 round-robin sample rounds, in which prepared samples are sent to participating laboratories twice per year, and were conducted between [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this dataset is to document the U.S. Geological Survey Standard Reference Samples (SRS) Project water-quality-control samples that were analyzed to evaluate laboratory analytical precision and bias of RTI Laboratories, used by the Gwinnett County, Georgia study. Summaries of laboratory precision from these water-quality control samples are contained in Appendix 1, “Quality assurance, quality control, and quality assessment summary” of the USGS Scientific Investigations Report " Hydrology, water-quality, and watershed characteristics in 15 watersheds in Gwinnett County, Georgia, 2002-20". This study is part of a long-term program to monitor and analyze the hydrologic and water-quality conditions of 15 watersheds in Gwinnett County, Georgia by the USGS in cooperation with Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources.
