What data governance practices are in place to avoid irregularities and to build trust in the data?

Data quality is extremely important for the ongoing work at Red Hill. Regulators review the Navy’s environmental laboratory data, which is a critical component of the decision-making process. A certified laboratory analyzes samples submitted by the Navy. The Navy’s laboratory reports are also validated by a third-party. This means that a third-party checks all data and, in some cases, scrutinizes details in the laboratory report to ensure the results are accurately represented. This includes evaluation laboratory quality assurance (QA) processes – systematic processes and procedures that ensure the reliability, accuracy, and consistency of laboratory results.
