Maine Environmental Laboratory is certified to test storm water to help you comply with Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer System (MS4) and other regulatory demands.

“Stormwater" means the part of precipitation including runoff from rain or melting ice and snow that flows across the surface as sheet flow, shallow concentrated flow, or in drainageways.
