Application of the Environmental Protection Agency`s data quality objective process to environmental monitoring quality control

“…LLNL originally began monitoring storm water runoff to determine whether pesticides were being transported off-site. Beginning in 1975, quarterly samples were obtained from the drainage ditch at the northwest corner of the site and analyzed for pesticides (Silver et al 1976). This monitoring program continued unchanged for a number of years (Silver et al 1977, Silver et al 1978, Silver et al, 1979, Silver et al 1980, Toy et al 1981, with quantitative results for pesticide monitoring first being published in 1978.…”
