Always uninstall the previous version first

Validator_Update.zip (2MB .zip file)

If you have the Ochlockonee version of Validator installed, please download the updated version of the underlying databases (eque.val and starter_data_file.mdb). This does not require the user to uninstall and reinstall the Validator software or to reregister (to allow uploading). This WILL overwrite your personal set of synonyms. The .exe also includes a new copy of the Help file (validator.chm). Make sure this file unzips into the Validator folder, which should be: C:\Program Files\FDEP\Validator

The June 2008 eque.val database update:

• This update includes updated copies of both the eque.val and the  starter_data_file.mdb. New permanent synonyms are included in the eque.val file. Some had noticed that Bladder Pump (BP) was not supported as a sampling equipment type and when chosen, did not properly populate the GW Monitoring Report generated by Validator. That has been fixed.

The April 2008 eque.val database update:

• The Florida Administrative Code for Solid Waste Management facilities Chapter 62-701.510. (8)(c) Leachate monitoring parameters lists Bicarbonate which is not a NELAC certified analyte. We are updating the rule to replace Bicarbonate with Total Alkalinity (as CaCo₃). The STORET code 000440 for Bicarbonate as well as the parameter Bicarbonate (and all synonyms) have been removed. In the future please report Total Alkalinity STORET code 000410 instead of the discontinued STORET code 000440 for Bicarbonate.

The February 2008 eque.val database update fixes the issue of Ethane:

• Ethane using analytical method RSK-175 (GC VOC) with a 14-day holding time.

• The STORET code in WACS for Ethane (082045 ug/L).

• There are no standards or criteria for ethane as far as Solid Waste is concerned.

• Additional synonyms have also been added.

The October 2007 eque.val database update fixes these issues:

• New methods have been added:
  • 4500-NH3 D
  • 3500 Cr B
• Eque.val has been updated to reflect the following changes to 62-302, F.A.C. which was updated on 12/07/2006.
• Total Coliform has been dropped from the list of analytes with criteria.
• The Cadmium criteria changed as follows.
  • For Class III Fresh; Cd criteria dropped from = exp(0.7852[lnH]-3.49) to
    exp(0.7409[lnH]-4.719).
  • For Class III Marine; Cd criteria dropped from = 9.3 ug/l to = 8.8 ug/l.
• Validator does not calculate hardness-dependent MCLs but updates to the constants in the RegLev table have been made. Note that 62-777,F.A.C., Surface water Class III Fresh and Marine reference 62-302, F.A.C. for Cadmium. These changes for Cadmium have been made for both 62-302 and 62-777.
• Method Ra-05 for Radium 228 has been added. This method is on the EPA web site and is also a certified method by the Florida DOH.
