August 7, 2007 Automated Data Review Software (ADR) for EQuIS 5 Laboratory Data Consultants, Inc. 7750 El Camino Real, Ste 2L Carlsbad, CA 92009 Tim Fitzpatrick Senior Scientist / Technical Sales

What is Automated Data Review Software (ADR)? Software developed by LDC for the Sacramento District of the US Army Corps of Engineers in the late 1990s Designed to automate, streamline and establish consistency in data review and data validation processes on 100% of data Produces reports that summarize QC outliers and qualified data Qualifies based on your QAPP specs in addition to the normal lab-specific qualifiers Exports qualified data for upload to an environmental database (EQuIS 5) Used by USACE, CA DTSC, CalTrans, Florida DEP, SC DHEC, IL EPA and multiple engineering consulting firms

Software developed by LDC for the Sacramento District of the US Army Corps of Engineers in the late 1990s

Designed to automate, streamline and establish consistency in data review and data validation processes on 100% of data

Produces reports that summarize QC outliers and qualified data

Qualifies based on your QAPP specs in addition to the normal lab-specific qualifiers

Exports qualified data for upload to an environmental database (EQuIS 5)

Used by USACE, CA DTSC, CalTrans, Florida DEP, SC DHEC, IL EPA and multiple engineering consulting firms

Automated Data Review (ADR) Consists of: Library Tool (eQAPP) ( ADR Library ) – Allows users to easily build an electronic version (.txt or .xml file) of the project specific QC objectives Laboratory Tool ( CCS/EDP ) – Allows laboratories to verify EDD completeness and contract compliance against the ADR project library Data Review Tool ( ADR ) – Allows data users to perform an automated data review against an ADR project library ADR Components
