Quality Assurance Program The Quality Assurance Program at Murray and Trettel is approved by management and assures effective implementation of program procedures.
These procedures or instructions assure the monitoring program is conducted in compliance with the appropriate codes and program sper,1 fi ca t ions.
In general, the Quality Assurance Program verifies (through audits) that activities have been correctly performed.
Audit personnel are independent of the activities being audited.
Quality Assurance personnel have sufficient authority and organizational freedom to identify problems, to initiate, recommend or provide solutions, and to verify implementation of the solutions. Any disagree-ments on procedures are resolved through a review of the situation by the president of Murray and Trettel.
Regular reviews of the status of adequacy of the monitoring program are provided through a series of Inspections and audits conducted by the QA personnel. A controlled distribution list is set up and recepients of controlled documents will recieve any alterations or revisions. Tr'aining is provided to all new personnel, and to all personnel when new procedures are incorporated into the program.
Instruments are maintained by qualified personnel and the equipment used for the calibration of the meteorological systems are themselves calibrated on a routine basis.

Document Control A document control system is used to assure that documents such as procedures, specifications, maintenance forms and data handling forms are reviewed for accurracy and approved by authorized personnel.
Such documents are distributed to and used by the personnel responsible for their use.
Changes to these documents are handled similarly and are reviewed and approved by the same personnel that performed the criginal review and approval.
A master controlled distribution list is used to designate the recipients of the documents.
Each document recipient is responsible for insuring that only the latest authorized procedures are in use and void documents are so identified.
The Project Hanager is responsible for instituting the document control system for the project and the Environmental Meteorologist is responsible for assuring the necessary files, logs, and procedures are instituted and maintained in a neat and proper manner.
The Environmental Metdorologist is also respon'sible for assuring that those documents that are to be to the c,lient are prepared and transmitted in a timely manner.
sent Documents pertaining to the maintenance, calibration, and performance of equipnent are retained in a central filing system at Murray and Trettel.

Equipment Calibration A testing program has been established to assure that the meteorological sensors, signal conditioners, and recorders are performing in the required manner.
Calibrations are conducted i
at specified Intervals by trained personnel.
In addition, calibra-tion of the equipment is performed whenever it has been repaired or whenever the quality assurance checks, made on the data, indir.ste that the system may not be performing up to specifications.
The test equipment used by Hurray and Trettel field personnel is calibrated at routine intervals.
Electronic test equipment is calibrated and certified by the manufacturer and thermometers calibrated in house by qualified technicians.
are To assure that all of the required tests and calibrations are performed, specific forms have been developed for each site.
These forms serve to remind the technician of the required tests, to document the results of the tests and to indicate any problems encountered in the procedure. The acceptable tolerances for each test are provided on the form to assure all calibrations are within acceptable limits.
The calibrated systems are affixed with a sticker indicating the date of calibration, the initials of the technician who performed the work, and the date of the forth-coming calibration.

Control of 14easuring and_ Tc. sting Ecuipment The elctronic instruments and thermometerc used to calibrate the meteorological systems are themselves calibrated at routine intervals.
This assures that these itens are maintair.ed within weeptablo limits of accuracy.
Electronic instrumentation is calibrated once each year by the manufacturer in such a manner that the results can be traced to the Itational Bureau of Standards. T'1ese results are certified by the manufacturer and a calibration late 1 is affixed to the instrument.
The label states the date of the calibration and date the next calibration is due.
Thermometers are calibrated at I.!urray and Trettel by trained personnel.
A water bath and 'a precision thermometer, whose calibration is traceaMe to the riational Bureau of Standards, are used in the calibration procedure.
An eight point calibration is performed quarterly on each thermometer and the results are documented. 1:ew thermometers are calibrated before use in the field.

Inspection and Test Results The status of inspection and tests performed on items furnished as part of the program is indicated by means of labels affixed to the items. All instrumentation used in the calibration of the meteorological system have calibration labels Indicating when they were last calibrated, and the date their next calibration is due.
Each time the system is calibrated, a calibration label is affixed.
to the system by the field service personnel.
This label indicates-the date of the calibration, the personnel who performed the call-bration, and the date the next calibration is due.

- 9. Corrective Actior.
A series nf on-site visits, checks, and a weekly review of the strip charts provide several means of detecting problems at an early stage.
Procedures have been developed to identify.promptly any problems in the data base. When defective equipment is identified as the problem
~
~
source, field service personnel are notified and a site visit is scheduled to correct the problem.
It is not possible to eliminate all data loss from the meteorological systems, but it is possible to minimize the loss through quick detection of the problem.
The cause of each problem is identified and documented in the routine course of the project. When appilcable, recommendations of modifications to instrumentation or procedures are made in order to eliminate or minimize the loss of data.

review, and progress reports are retained as part of the quality assurance program.
The timely submission of the reports required by the program specifi-cation is assured by the routine inspection and processing of the data within one month of the date collected.
All quality assurance records are identifiable and retrievable.
Notification will be given to CECO prior to disposing of these records and disposal will not be allowed until permission from CECO is j
obtained. All quality assurance records are maintained in accordance with applicable codes regarding record retention.

The audits verify the Implementation and effectiveness of the monitoring program.
Audits cover maintenance and calibration of tower acquisition systems, data handling, and data reduction.
Procedures and inspections of records are included in the audit.
The audits are conducted twice each year by the Quality Assurance Officer using checklists or an agenda approved by the Executive Vice President.
A report is written af ter each audit and consists of the following:
a Su-ary Sheet, Check 1ists or agenda, and any additional pertinent details recorded on additional sheets necessary to support the findings.
This report is submitted to the Executive Vice President for review and is retained as a part of the quality assurance documentation.
A follow up review of deficient areas or adverse conditions and on corrective action commitments, is carried out to assure effective implementation.
Deficiencies in the execution or implementation of corrective action are brought to the attention of the person responsible for their recti-fication.
Continued deficiencies or failure to I. ale ent carrecti.e action are reported, in writing, to appropriate executives within Murray and Trettel.
