The communication of these data quality problems to OPS is intended to request troubleshooting, investigation and/or maintenance by OPS technicians on instruments at the site in an attempt to correct the cause of the data quality problem. If a problem is initially deemed critical or beyond Site OPS’ scope to remedy, the DQPR can be entered as, or the status of an existing DQPR should be escalated to the attention of the ARM Problem Review Board (PRB). In addition, problems that cannot benefit from initial OPS action or are of a more severe nature that demand immediate action can be
