Since 1998, The Contaminated Site Clean-Up Information (CLU-IN) website has presented Internet Seminars covering a wide variety of technical topics related to hazardous waste characterization, monitoring, and remediation. For each seminar topic, we have selected the highest-quality offering for placement in our archives. Beginning in May 2005, we began offering these archives via podcast, and this feed contains all seminars archived in the last 6 months. For a complete list of seminars archived since 2000 and videos of selected seminars archived since 2012, please visit http://clu-in.org/live/archive/. Our Rehabilitation Act Notice for reasonable accommodation is available at http://clu-in.org/training/accommodation.cfm. CLU-IN was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) but is intended as a forum for all waste remediation stakeholders.

Audio for "Military Munitions Support Services - Q/A Seeding," Aug 15, 2018
Contractor performance metrics are measured by two blind seeding systems on Munitions Response (MR) projects - Quality Assurance and Quality Control. Quality Assurance (QA) seeding is the primary quality system used by the Government to independently check the Contractor's performance at MR sites. QA seeding consists of Government personnel (or a third-party QA Contractor) burying blind seeds at depths and in locations that allow for easy detection. Whereas the Quality Control (QC) seeding is implemented by the Contractor to continually test the depth of detection of their instruments and verify coverage. While QC seeding is generally a larger program with a higher density and variety of blind seeds, it is operated by the Contractor and can present a potential conflict of interest of performance by either not having or not abiding by a firewall plan. Outside of the initial input into the development of the UFP- or AGC-QAPP, the QC seeding program is reported to the Government and taken at face value. The Range Support Center has several challenging projects that overcame significant hurdles to their quality systems, both QA and QC. This M2S2 webinar will present project case studies and introduces a new template for use in scoping a QA seeding program.
