DQO Implementation Process:Flow Chart and Wall Charts
30 minutes
DQO Training CourseDay 2
Module 8
Presenter: Sebastian Tindall

Key Points The flow chart illustrates how to integrate
a systematic planning process for decision making into an environmental program
Getting decision-makers involved both early and often in the process is a pivotal element of the DQO Process
Use the DQO e-Workbook to document the process
Use SCA and VSP to ensure defensibility

As part of the Scoping process:
• Identify, obtain, gather, assemble, and review allexisting analytical data and historicalinformation that is pertinent to the project task
• Utilize a Scoping Checklist to ensure thatkey information is not overlooked

Identify information/data gaps and major issues resulting from the scoping process.
These issues need resolution and/or input from the decision-makers.

• Compile the results from scoping into aDQO Scoping Summary Report
• The level of detail should be commensuratewith the complexity of the project task

•Use SCA spreadsheet tables in Step 7 to summarize cost versus number of samples and alpha, beta, & delta errors
–Costs include:–unit sample collection cost (USC$)–unit analysis cost (USA$)–aggregate unit sample collection and analysiscost (AUSCA$)–sum of total costs per number of samples

•VSP Software is used to provide inputs to Step 7 in the DQO workbook
–Select the appropriate statistical method, for example:•For data that is normally distributed compared average to fixed threshold via simple random sampling or via systematic grid•For data that are not normally distributed may use Wilcoxon signed rank test or MARSSIM sign test

Process guided by:• Facilitator• Draft DQO Summary Report (Strawman)• Historical scoping information
(Scoping Summary Report)• Decision-maker input
(Interviews/Global Issues outputs)
It is easier for people to react to the “Strawman” than to create something from scratch.
