Step 1: Identify Point of Contacts and submit a POC EDDStep 2: Set up EQuIS account and GeoPlatform Account
E-Data Prime POC - One Person per Site
Have one POC that is the liaison with R4DART and EarthSoft
(field software).
They can do everything in each application (and they likely
spend much of their time in EQuIS). They are responsible for
training their site team.
✓Attends Monthly E-Data Provider Call
✓ Import and Correct Data
✓Set up Sample Plans and Contracts
✓Build Groups and Action Levels (MCLs)
✓Configure EDGE and/or Collect Forms
✓Build/Use Enterprise Dashboards
✓Prepare Tables and Crosstabs
✓Maintain data…
Sampling Coordinator – One Person per Field
Event
This is the person that books the field event with the R4 Sample
Custodian/R4DART. This person likely receives a copy of the field
assignment information from R4 Superfund QA Coordinator.
✓CLP/Regional Lab: Submit 1-Analytical Request Form
(excel spreadsheet) to R4 Sample Custodian.
✓Other Lab: Submit 1-Analytical Request Form (excel
spreadsheet) to R4DART.
✓ Update and resubmit 2-Analytical Request Form (edd)
Field Team Leader – One Person per Field Event
This is the person in the field that signs the Chain-of-Custody.
This person likely receives an automated email confirming the
field assignment locations and requested sample analysis.
✓Use Scribe, EDGE and/or Collect Forms
✓Signatory on the e-COCs
Field Team is to contact the E-Data Prime POC for field
software related issues!
E-Data Provider
They are responsible for emailing site data to
Remember – data must be checked with EDP to auto
create a user certificate!
✓ Import and Correct Data
GIS Data POC
✓Ensure all GIS, CAD, and image formatted files used to develop
maps for any document developed R4 are delivered to the EPA
in approved format.
They are responsible for uploading GIS data to https://r4.ercloud.org/R4_GIS_Data_Submittal/index.html.

Phases of Superfund Process –What is your exit strategy??
• Short Form DMP that references the Removal Program DMP
• No QAPP Required - sometimes prepared on long-term responses
• Primarily Scribe, EQuIS as data archive
Emergency Responses
• Short Form DMP that references the Removal Program DMP
• QAPP Required - may contain the Short Form DMP but does not have to
• Primarily Scribe, EQuIS as data archive
Time-Critical Removal
• Short Form DMP that references the Superfund Division DMP (TBD)
• QAPP Required - should contain the Short Form DMP as an attachment
• Primarily EQuIS, access to all prior data
Typical Remedial Projects or Site Assessments
• DMP as stand-alone document
• QAPP Required - will contain references to the stand alone DMP
• Primarily EQuIS, access to all prior data
Complex Remedial Projects
