Development of Statistics and Limits for DMR-QA (Data Monitoring Report-Quality Assurance) Studies and Summary of Experience in DMR-QA Study 2

摘要

The self-monitoring data generated by permit holders under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and periodically reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in a Data Monitoring Report (DMR), are an important basis for regulatory and enforcement decisions. In the interest of better quality, USEPA's Office of Water Enforcement (OWE) became interested in establishing a quality assurance (QA) program for DMR data.
