Around this lab: Frederick County, MD

• Private wells: about 107,440 people, 44% of Frederick County’s 245,322 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 4 of 24 counties in Maryland by people on wells.
• At house sale: Statewide (Real Property Article) has a well_test rule (Md. Code, Real Property § 10-713 (Ch. 587 of 2023, HB 11, Private Well Safety Act of 2023)). What it requires

• EPA radon zone (indoor air): Zone 1: highest potential (average indoor radon may be greater than 4 pCi/L). EPA says the zone map should not decide whether one home needs testing.
• Arsenic above 10 µg/L (USGS model): about 1,098 private-well users (95% range 774 to 1,637; 2010 base), rank 16 of 24 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
• Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 35% of 108,924 housing units were built before 1980, below the state share of 51%. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead solder or fittings, so test tap water for lead there.
• PFAS in public water nearby (public supply, not your well): 9 public systems serving this county reported EPA UCMR 5 results; 4 had a PFOA or PFOS sample at or above 4.0 ng/L.

Before you send a sample

Call the lab to confirm it's currently certified for the exact test and method, that it accepts samples from homeowners, and how to collect and ship them. Bacteria samples have short holding times. Status can change between list updates. To check a status, contact the Virginia certification program.
