The vast majority of the Authority's mine water sampling is undertaken by its own staff and term contractors; typically the Scientific Services contractor will only take samples from a few sites mainly for non routine activities or specific projects. The Authority also has occasional requirements to sample matrices other than environmental waters; these might include ferric sludge from treatment scheme settlement lagoons, soils, especially colliery spoil, gas, and radiological sampling. The Authority expects all reported analytical results to be of the highest quality since important decisions can be influenced by the results.
