Validation and Verification Methods Sample Clauses

Validation and Verification Methods. All data reported for this water quality monitoring program will be subject to checks for errors in transcription, calculation, and computer input. These checks are described in section A9 and B10. Field data are initially validated by data graphing and recognition of outliers needing verification. In addition, the NPSTORET database has automatic validation checks, based on known ranges, which run as data is being entered. Questionable data identified will be reviewed, and if necessary, corrected. Any corrections made will be initialed and dated on the data sheet. Each field form (included in Appendix A) contains a validation box that will be checked after review of the data. At this point, separate checklists or forms are not used for verification/ validation. When laboratory data are reported to the Project Leader or technician, outliers or other questions that arise with the data will be investigated. Usually, the individual who reported the data is contacted directly to resolve any discrepancies. The Program Manager or field technician will also review the sampling event field notes to try to explain any possible discrepancies. When the Program Manager or field technician is satisfied with the accuracy of the laboratory data in question, he or she signs the data form and puts it in the proper folder for data entry. Any changes to the data forms will be noted, initialed and dated on the form. Any actions taken as a result of the data review will also be noted on the data sheet. When laboratory forms are accurate and complete, the Program Manager or field technician will then follow standard steps of data processing. Relevant notes regarding the data in question will be included in the comment section of that sample’s form in the database. Also, suspect data will be “flagged” in the database and associated with an explanatory code for the relevant QA/QC issue. Such “flagged” data will not be used for reporting purposes unless accompanied by the associated explanatory code. The WQ Program Manager has primary responsibility for verifying and validating different components of the project data/ information. However, because this individual is also responsible for sample collection and data entry, the QA Officer or other WQ Technical Advisors will assist with data validation. Laboratory data verification and validation processes are in accordance with their operating procedures, and will be consistent with advice in EPA QA/G-8 (EPA 2001), and the SWAMP progr...

Validation and Verification Methods. The Brownfields feasibility decision by the City is for use in evaluating whether response actions have removed asbestos-containing materials such that planned redevelopment activities may be completed. The data will be compared to the previously referenced state and federal clearance criteria for asbestos cleanup. The validation procedures of the Brownfields Project will be general and will focus on determining the proper collection, preservation and delivery of proper amounts of material under proper conditions to the laboratory for measurement and use in the final decision. The Field Team Leader will be responsible for the validation of real time data generated during clearance sampling which will be conducted in order to decide if data generated is of sufficient quality to determine whether cleanup activities conducted at the site have met the project requirements for future use of the site. Once it is determined that cleanup activities have met the project requirements and site cleanup activities have concluded, a final cleanup report will be prepared. An authorized QA Manager identified in Section A-4 will conduct a review of the final cleanup report. The review will consist of a comparison of a draft Response Action Completion Report and supporting field documents relative to compliance to the quality process and QAPP. The review will specifically address the following: ■ A7: Quality Objectives and Criteria for Measurement Data. ■ B1: Sampling Process Design. ■ B2: Sampling Methods. ■ B3: Sample Handling and Custody Requirements. ■ B5: Quality Control Requirements. The QA Manager will summarize deficiencies in writing to the Project Manager for resolution and evaluation of effect on the project decision(s). The Project Manager will rely on standard methods conformance and the laboratory data packages to support valid analytical data.

  • MEASUREMENT AND VERIFICATION The goal of this task is to report the benefits resulting from this project. Project team may use in- house expertise of the project demonstration site or use third party vendor for measurement and verification (M&V) of GHG and energy consumption reduction. The Recipient shall: • Enter into agreement with M&V subcontractor per Task 1.9 • Coordinate site visits with the M&V subcontractor at the demonstration sites • Develop M&V protocol for pre-installation measurement (and calculation): o Electric, natural gas and/or other fossil fuel consumption and GHG emissions (use appropriate emissions factor from Attachment 8 of the grant solicitation) of the equipment/process/system(s)/sub-system(s) that are to be upgraded and/or replaced and/or modified. o Ensure installation of sub-metering equipment and data loggers for pre/post data analysis. • Prepare and provide a detailed M&V Plan for each project demonstration site to include but not be limited to: o Description of the monitoring equipment and instrumentation which will be used. o Description of the key input parameters and output metrics which will be measured. o Description of the M&V protocol and analysis methods to be employed. o Description of the independent, third-party M&V services to be employed, if applicable. • Perform three months (or shorter period as approved in writing by the CAM) of pre- installation measurements (and calculations) based on the M&V protocol for pre- installation. • Prepare and provide a Pre-Installation M&V Findings Report for each demonstration site that includes M&V protocol, pre-install measurements (and calculations), analysis, and results performed in this task. • Develop M&V protocol for post-installation measurements (and calculations) of: o Electric, natural gas and/or other fossil fuel consumption and GHG emissions (use appropriate emissions factor from Attachment 8 of the grant solicitation) of the equipment/process/system(s)/sub-system(s) that will be upgraded and/or replaced and/or modified  Perform 12 months or two seasons, for seasonal facilities, (or shorter period as approved in writing by the CAM) of post-installation measurements based on M&V protocol for post-installation. • Provide a summary of post-installation M&V progress in Progress Report(s) (see subtask 1.5) which shall include but not be limited to: o A narrative on operational highlights from the reporting period, including any stoppages in operation and why; and o A summary of M&V findings from the reporting period. • Analyze post-installation electrical, natural gas and/or other fossil fuel consumption and GHG emissions. • Prepare and provide a Post-Installation M&V Findings Report for each demonstration site that includes M&V protocol, pre and post install measurements (and calculations), analysis, and results performed in this task.
