11.2 Reporting and Accountability
All personnel are informed and encouraged to report any discrepancy or deficiency that may exist
in the survey results or site survey procedures. This begins with the review of the documentation
as described and the incorporating of comments and suggestions. The process will continue as
the project goes forward and data are collected. Improvements to the procedures will be
presented in reports to management for approval prior to any implementation.
If at any time during the review and verification process any employee or consultant feels that
data quality may be compromised due to deficient or inaccurate oversight procedures, they will
report the concern and condition to the QA Manager, the Project Manager, and the EPA Project
Officer. If the condition is not satisfactorily addressed, the QA Manager has the authority to stop
work on the project until the condition is resolved.
11.2.1 Active Communication
It is the management philosophy of EEMS that quality starts with communication. By actively
involving all project participants during regular meetings, all quality concerns are brought forth
and addressed. Open communication is also encouraged between EEMS personnel, consultants,
NADP personnel, and EPA personnel. The project management will be transparent with all
aspects of the program available for data users, NADP and EPA clients for examination.
All project personnel are reminded that they are accountable. They are encouraged to actively
communicate with clients to ensure quality issues are addressed and a quality product is
produced.
