1. PRESENTING RESULTS IN AN EI
Melinda Ronca-Battista
ITEP/TAMS Center

2. GOAL OF THE EI PROCESS
The goal of the EI process is a written report specific to your reservation
A full written EI report
Gives 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 results
Most 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
