Systematic Planning and DataAssessment Tools and
Training Program(http//vsp.pnl.gov/dqo/)

• Provides sampling and data evaluation methods
  and tools to facilitate enhanced, timely and cost
  effective approaches to meet regulatory
  requirements, accelerate site cleanup, facilitate
  decommissioning, and support legacy management.
• Visual Sample Plan (VSP) software tool
  development and implementation
• Training courses for systematic sample planning
  and Data Quality Objectives
• On-site sample planning assistance and support
• Support for statistically defensible sampling
  approaches and data evaluation methodologies

SPADAT Visual Sample Planning

• Interfaces with GIS and Autocad
• Supports multiple statistical approaches (simple
  random, sequential, stratified, systematic,
  adaptive cluster, etc.)
• Hotspot Sampling
• Composite Sampling
• Well Redundancy Modeling
• Geostatistical Modeling
• Probability / Uncertainty Mapping
• Seasonality Consistency Testing
• Temporal Redundancy Evaluations

4
VSP Used for Hotspot Sampling

• Using new or existing data, VSP programming will
  automatically and iteratively locate samples in
  the largest un-sampled area

5
VSP Sampling Designs

• Use of VSP to plan sampling designs and data
  analysis for decommissioning or decontamination
  of buildings

• Use of VSP to determine monitoring well
  redundancy while preserving important plume
  information

DOE Consolidated Audit Program(https//doecap.oro
.doe.gov/)

• Performs, coordinates and administers audits of
  Analytical Laboratories and Treatment, Storage
  and Disposal Facilities subcontracted to the DOE.
• Recruits technically qualified auditors from
  across the DOE
• Eliminates redundant audits between DOE
  facilities
• Provides standardized audit methodology and
  procedures
• Improves communication of audit information and
  lessons learned
• Reduces overall Department risks and liabilities

Mixed Analyte PerformanceEvaluation
Program(http//www.inl.gov/resl/mapep/)

• Tests and evaluates environmental analytical
  laboratory performance and ability to provide
  defensible data that instills confidence in DOE
  decision- making.
• ISO 17025 Accredited Performance Test Provider
• Direct traceability to the National Institute for
  Standards and Testing
• Tests radiological, stable inorganic, and organic
  parameters
• Evaluates soil, water, air filter, and vegetation
  media
• Required for all laboratories performing analysis
  for DOE
• Interaction and cooperation with DOECAP auditing
