Independent Audit

The South Puget Sound Dissolved Oxygen Study and Puget Sound Dissolved Oxygen Model are undergoing independent, third-party peer reviews. Tetra Tech is conducting the audits under the management of the US Environmental Protect Agency.

The in-depth audits are designed to look at all the details of the two projects to identify any serious deficiencies. Tetra Tech will review the model set-up, the model calibration and sensitivity, “what-if” scenarios, and supporting documentation. The circulation reports and water quality reports for both projects will be audited.

Tetra Tech documents:

• Audit of the Puget Sound Dissolved Oxygen Model circulation report (03/12/10)
• Draft Audit of the South Puget Sound Dissolved Oxygen Study Circulation Report (01/12/10)
• Approach for the model review
