DOE EH-31 DQO/DQA Training
Course Evaluations and Commendations - Day 1

Evaluation from Vance Fong


May 25, 2000

To: Larry Zaragoza/DC/USEPA/US@EPA
cc: Duane Geuder/DC/USEPA/US@EPA (bcc: Marlon Mezquita/R9/USEPA/US)

Subject: Region 9 Feed Back on the DOE NAMP DQO Training

Dear Larry:

The Region, in coordination with Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory (LLNL)/DOE, coordinated a two-day DQO Process/
Visual Sampling Plan training to R9 staff, state reps, tribal reps,
and LLNL technical staff. This training has been very beneficial
for the course participants and I would like to recommend it to
other Regions, states, and tribes. The training not only provided
a meaningful overview of the Seven-step DQO process, it also
offers the knowledge to operate the effective, electronically-based,
and no-cost Visual Sample Plan software. The Region is planning
adopt the use of Visual Sample Plan software at our sites when appropriate.

I am particularly pleased with the large body of scientific
knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm displayed by the trainers
-- James Davidson (Pacific Northwest National Lab), Sebastian
Tindall (BHI), and Rick Blancq (DOE-RL-ER). It is hard to find
such top knowledge and great energy all in one group.

I urge you to support this great effort.

Best Regards.

Vance Fong, Region 9 QA Manager
