DOECAP Benefits
Consolidated qualification audits of participating
analytical laboratories and commercial waste treatment,
storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) are conducted
under the DOECAP. The DOECAP model eliminates redundant
audits of labroatories and facilities otherwise conducted
by individual DOE field element sites. Benefits derived
from a multi-site program supporting the DOE mission
include:
-
To DOE by providing a consistent cost saving
multi-site consolidated audit program which reduces
Department/taxpayer costs by at least $1.3M annually.
-
To Analytical Service Organizations at the DOE
field element sites by providing a pool of resources,
a body of technical knowledge and the avoided
need for local program functions.
-
To Waste Management Organizations at the DOE
field element sites by providing a consistent
and cost saving means for meeting DOE Order 435.1
audit requirements.
-
To audited facilities by avoiding lost productivity
costs due to hosting multiple redundant DOE audits.
DOECAP Electronic Data System/Program
Contacts
One of the major tools for sharing program information
is the password protected DOECAP Electronic Data System
(EDS). Access for non-DOECAP participants and audited
facilities is limited to the outer portion of the
EDS which contains key program correspondence and
documents, contractual information, audit schedules,
and program contact information. The non-password
protected portion of the EDS may be accessed at www.oro.doe.gov/DOECAP.
