PRESENTING RESULTS IN A LEVEL 4 EI

Melinda Ronca-Battista

ITEP/TAMS Center

GOAL OF THE EI PROCESS

The goal of the EI process is a written report specific to your reservation

A full written EI reportGives enough information that reviewer could duplicate results

Includes summary up front for readers who do not want the details

TEISS includes much of this information, but writing it out allows anyone to see resultsMost people, for example, your boss, your EPA project officer, etc., do not have TEISS on their computer so you need to present the data outside of TEISS
