Soil, Water, and Animal Contaminant Sampling
Travel Fee
State mileage rate to/from College Station ($0.67/mile), and lodging cost (if needed, depending on distance and sample size)
Sampling Fee
$20/hour during the sampling event(s)
Consulting Fee
Variable depending on project budget and needs. The low-cost option includes project report and graphics for client-chosen sampling locations. Full project coverage includes sample location planning, customizing study design based on budget, lab result interpretation, project report, and graphics.
Lab and Shipping Costs
I recommend Eurofins for any environmental sampling, which requires overnight shipping. Most tests for animals can be accomplished for low cost at TVMDL at Texas A&M, which would allow you to save on shipping costs since I can drop the samples off myself. Lab costs are variable depending on sample type(s) and number of samples.
Large Mammal Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Sampling
