"Well, in Texas, the answer is yes...."

We license two types of environmental labs.  Those who are analyzing
environmental samples for radioactive material, and those who are
analyzing for non-RAM constituents.  Both can potentially receive
licensable quantities and really aren't that different from a
licensing standpoint.  They screen all incoming samples for "trigger
levels", handle them with appropriate care, and generally return all
materials to the customer.  We don't worry too much about anything
else unless they are generating a complex waste stream through
additional lab services.
