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

•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
