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

Evaluation from Thomas Ward, Environmental Director, Miami Tribe of Oklahoma


Monday, June 14, 2004 8:39 AM
To: Ken Skahn, Larry Zaragoza, JoAnn Griffith
Subject: DQO training

I am writing you to convey my appreciation for the Inter-tribal Environmental Council (ITEC) sponsored Data Quality Objective and Visual Sample Plan training which I attended March 12th through the 19th in Norman, Oklahoma. I found the training very engaging, specifically the hands on activities. The instructor was quite competent in the presentation of DQO process, thereby elevating my own analytical thinking as it relates to my duties as an environmental director. It is critical that the DQO process is employed for the generation of defensible environmental data. This training provided the tools (such as the VSP software) and instructions, which increased my confidence level relative to the work I am involved in. It is my hope that this training could be offered annually and extended into a longer training session. There are many Tribal Environmental Directors in my area who have not been exposed to this meaningful and comprehensive DQO process training. A longer training session would allow more one-to-one interactions with the instructor where site specific issues could be addressed.

Sincerely,

Thomas Ward, Environmental Director
