The problem
You VLOOKUP every analyte against an MCL table you built years ago — and hope it's still current. One wrong cell reference means a compliance error on a report with your PE stamp. EQuIS solves this but starts at $2,500/year.
- VLOOKUP-ing every analyte against MCL/RSL lookup tables you maintain manually in Excel — and discovering the RSLs updated six months ago when a regulator flags your report
- Spending 60-80% of staff scientist time on data wrangling instead of technical analysis, with no way to scale project throughput without proportional hiring
- Missing the third state: when a non-detect reporting limit exceeds the applicable standard, Excel has no way to flag that compliance cannot be determined — and regulators will catch it
- Reformatting lab EDDs from Eurofins, Pace, SGS, and ALS into your project spreadsheet template every time results come back, introducing transcription errors on every import
- No audit trail for QA review — your PM checks every cell in a 500-row spreadsheet because there is no other way to verify that the right standard was applied to the right analyte at the right location
What it does
Multi-format lab EDD import with auto-mapping
Upload EDDs in CSV, Excel, or standardized formats from major commercial labs — Eurofins/TestAmerica, Pace Analytical, SGS, ALS Environmental — plus government EDD formats including SEDD, NYSDEC v5, GeoTracker ESI, MassDEP, and NJ LSRP. Column mapping auto-detects analyte, result, units, qualifier, MDL, RL, sample ID, and location. Save mappings per lab so repeat imports are instant.
Maintained regulatory standard database — federal and all 50 states
Pre-loaded database of EPA National Primary Drinking Water MCLs, Secondary MCLs, Regional Screening Levels (updated within 7 days of each semi-annual EPA release), and state-specific drinking water and groundwater cleanup standards for all 50 states. Includes state standards more stringent than federal — NJ arsenic at 5 ppb, CA perchlorate at 6 ppb, MA manganese at 0.3 mg/L. Every standard value includes CAS number, effective date, source citation, and link to the source document.
Screening-level comparison with qualifier-aware logic
Auto-compares every analytical result against one or more selected standard sets with correct handling of data qualifiers: U (non-detect), J (estimated), R (rejected), UJ, and B flags. Classifies each result as Exceedance, Compliant, Non-Detect Compliant, Non-Detect — Cannot Determine, or No Standard Available. Handles unit conversions between ug/L, mg/L, ng/L (ppt), and pCi/L automatically.
Detection limit adequacy flagging
Automatically identifies the critical third state: when a non-detect result has a reporting limit above the applicable standard, compliance cannot be determined. Generates a separate Detection Limit Adequacy table listing every analyte/location combination where the RL exceeds the MCL or screening level — the deliverable your PM requires but your Excel workflow rarely produces systematically.
Multi-jurisdiction standard layering
Apply multiple standard sets simultaneously — federal MCLs, EPA RSLs, and state-specific standards — and see which is most stringent for each analyte. A New Jersey site assessment screens against NJ GWQS, EPA MCLs, and EPA RSLs in one pass, with the most stringent standard highlighted. Never accidentally apply the wrong program's criteria.
Professional exceedance table generation
Generate formatted exceedance summary tables with all the columns your deliverable requires: Location, Sample ID, Sample Date, Analyte, CAS Number, Result, Qualifier, Units, Applicable Standard, Standard Type, Standard Value, and Exceedance Factor. Plus data summary tables, comparative exceedance tables across sampling events, and summary statistics tables — all with inline standard citations for defensibility.
PFAS-specific compliance screening
Dedicated PFAS workflow handling parts-per-trillion units, EPA Hazard Index calculation for PFAS mixtures (PFHxS, PFNA, HFPO-DA, PFBS), and the rapidly evolving landscape of state PFAS standards. Tracks which analytical method was used (EPA 533, 537.1, 1633) and what PFAS suite each method covers. Includes a PFAS regulatory tracker showing current standards by state.
Export to Excel, PDF, and Word with configurable branding
Export all tables as formatted Excel workbooks with formulas preserved, publication-quality PDFs with your firm logo and project header, or native Word tables that drop directly into your client report document. State-specific report templates match agency format expectations for California DTSC/RWQCB, New Jersey NJDEP, Massachusetts MassDEP MCP, New York NYSDEC, Pennsylvania PADEP Act 2, and Florida FDEP.
Why switch
Enterprise accuracy at $19/month — not $2,500/year
The pricing gap between Excel ($12/month) and the cheapest purpose-built EDMS (~$2,500/year for EQuIS Cloud Level 1) is enormous. At $19-29/month, you get a maintained regulatory standard database, auto-screening, and professional report output for less than the cost of 15 minutes of billable time. No enterprise contract, no IT department, no dedicated data staff.
Maintained regulatory standards you never have to update
Federal MCLs, EPA RSLs updated within days of each semi-annual release, PFAS MCLs, and state-specific standards for all 50 states — maintained continuously so you never screen against a superseded standard. When EPA updated RSLs in November, your lookup table updated automatically. When your state adopted new PFAS standards, they appeared in your project the same week.
Detection limit intelligence that catches what Excel misses
When a non-detect reporting limit exceeds the applicable standard, compliance cannot be determined from that result. This is a subtle but critical compliance issue that Excel VLOOKUP workflows routinely miss — the formula says 'non-detect, compliant' when the correct determination is 'cannot confirm compliance.' Automatic flagging of every RL-vs-standard inadequacy, with a dedicated summary table for your report.
Practitioner-grade output from your first session
Exceedance tables, data summary tables, and detection limit adequacy tables formatted for direct inclusion in client deliverables — no reformatting required. Professional appearance that competes with EQuIS-generated output. State-specific report templates that match what agency reviewers expect to see. Upload your first EDD and have an exportable exceedance table before your coffee gets cold.
