The large full-color display and intuitive programming give you access to all your programmable criteria on a single screen--eliminating scrolling through menus and supporting error-free operation. Weighing only 28 pounds (12.7 kg), the AS950 Portable Sampler is designed for accuracy and convenience.
Mechanics
Quickly switch between composite and discrete sampling in the field. Configurable for single- or multiple-bottle applications, it is specifically designed for use in 18-inch manholes. The program status screen instantly communicates alarms, missed samples and program progress for quick and easy troubleshooting.
Maintenance
The rugged, see-through pump cover allows for quick visual inspection. Desiccant and pump tubing can be easily accessed, and replacement is possible without any tools. This, together with the long pump tubing life, keeps maintenance costs low.

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection has detected little to no trace of the chemical MCHM in the Elk River after an industrial stormwater collection trench overflowed into the tributary, according to the Associated Press. Freedom Industries, which owns the trench, alerted state officials five hours after the incident occurred. 
 
The West Virginia DEP conducted water testing near the intake of a treatment plant just 1.6 miles downstream from the spill. Filters at the wastewater treatment plant were replaced and Freedom Industries added additional personnel to monitor untreated water near its plant. 
 
The overflow occurred June 13. The exact quantity of the discharge is not known.

 The nearby community of Parma will divert storm water into a constructed wetland.
