I research information requests, identify data and coordinate with the Central File Room and other agency personnel on fulfillment. I respond to data requests from the general public, consultants and agency personnel for LPST site information. I review Release Determination Reports (RDRs), provide site status and case closure documentation. I developed an electronic filing system in Microsoft Excel to track the backlog of Release Determination Reports created from the volume of RDRs received by the Division. I've prepared weekly significant meetings reports and complete special projects as assigned. I maintain and update the RDR and Incident Release databases to ensure accurate program data and documentation. I export LPST data from the RDR and IR databases based upon the requested criteria. I research LPST and PST registration data in IDA and Central Registry to fulfill data requests.
