Abstract |
A report is prepared for the purpose of presenting guideline information which will assist the user in detailing the needs and requirements of a statewide air pollution control technical services system stressing laboratory operations. A number of appropriate State, regional and local agencies were visited. Their individual situations and operational programs were compiled into 'case histories' which formed the data base utilized in this effort. These data were then analyzed and the subsequent evaluations used to assist in documenting a significant number of elements or factors which will, in a given situation, influence the organization of a statewide laboratory system. This document provides guidelines for operating in the areas of organization, management, program element definition, legal considerations, technical functions, and quality control. (Author) |
