Certifications are coordinated by the contractor directly with the DQM Support Team and local authorities according to the SOPs for the following:

Certifications are based on an on-site inspection by DQM support Team Personnel consisting of the following:

  • A series of data quality checks for Hoppers and Scows: ( Hopper, Scow, Pipeline)
  • Verification of data acquisition and transfer
  • Review of the Dredge Plant Instrumentation Plan (DPIP): (Hopper, Scow, Pipeline)
