The SESP generates an enormous volume of data as a result of surveillance activities on and around the Hanford Site. Effective data management is essential for ensuring quality results that are able to be audited. The primary objective in data management within the SESP is to manage data in a manner that ensures timely collection, analysis, reporting, and validation in accordance with the Hanford Site Environmental Surveillance Master Sampling Schedule. This is achieved using the Hanford Environmental Information System (HEIS) where the SESP maintains data management functions including scheduling sampling events, sample and result accountability/tracking. HEIS is an operational system specifically designed and implemented for Hanford Site environmental data and is a consolidated set of automated resources that effectively manage the data gathered during environmental monitoring and restoration efforts on and around the Hanford Site.
