Ecological Risk Assessment Data Quality Objectives, Sampling and Analysis Plans, and Sampling and Instruction Plans

Developing data quality objectives (DQO) and sampling and analysis plans (SAP) are an important part of the ecological risk assessment process. For two years, EAS staff assisted DOE and Bechtel Hanford, Inc. develop and prepare DQOs, SAPs, and sampling and instruction plans (SAI) to support the 100-BC Pilot Project and the River Corridor Baseline Risk Assessment. We also have presented relevant historical datasets and research to help regulatory agencies and stakeholders assess ecological risk from past and present releases of legacy materials attributable to Hanford operations.
