In-State Laboratories

An on-site laboratory evaluation will be scheduled for your laboratory approximately two to three months prior to the expiration date on your certificate. You will receive notification of this evaluation by mail. To enable the Office of Environmental Laboratory Certification to perform the evaluation more efficiently, the following items should be available for review on the day of the scheduled evaluation.

• Biosolids Pathogen Certification (2/2017) - This document lists the references that laboratories can use when analyzing biosolids sample for fecal coliform. 
• Enterococci Guidance Document (08/05) - This document lists the requirements for enterococci certification in South Carolina. 

The South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) encourages and supports internships where feasible. Students who are looking for internships at SCDES can use the information on this page as a guide to get started.

Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields they are considering for career paths; and give employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent. - National Association of Colleges and Employers
