Description:
Abstract:
The Oregon DEQ Laboratory Analytical Storage and Retrieval Database (LASAR) provides access to a comprehensive collection of environmental monitoring data. Information regarding projects, monitoring locations, sample collections, and analytical results are available throughout Oregon. Air and water quality, sediment, soil, hazardous waste, biological tissue and biological population data are included in LASAR.
Purpose:
The purpose is to make environmental data collected by DEQ for program needs or submitted to DEQ under agreement for contractual obligations or as volunteered for consideration in policymaking available to the public.
Supplemental_Information:
The LASAR database was created and is maintained at the Oregon DEQ Laboratory.  The LASAR web access application was created and is maintained by Oregon DEQ Managment Services Division. This is primary data provided by DEQ.

Process_Description:
All analytical data are entered into the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).  Data verification and validation is performed in LIMS prior to release of the data to the Laboratory Analytical Storage And Retrieval (LASAR) system.  All QA/QC data, including replicate, blank, and spike samples, are maintained in a QA archive at the DEQ Laboratory, rather than in the LASAR system.  LIMS, LASAR, and the QA archive are maintained and operated by the DEQ Laboratory Division.  Data from LASAR (a transactional database ) are routinely transformed into a data warehouse maintained by DEQ Management Services Division to make available to the public via the LasarWeb application.
