Credible Data is a program that classifies surface water monitoring performed by watershed groups, state agencies, schools, local volunteers and other organizations. Ohio EPA uses the data submitted under the program in ways prescribed by State law.
The link below is a list of current QDCs along with the organization(s) with which they are affiliated, their approved level and specialty, their approved QDC number, and the expiration date of their status. Some QDCs have been approved for multiple specialties and so are listed more than once. Level 3 status, the highest level, expires (needs to be renewed) after two years. Level 2 status expires after five years. Level 1 status does not expire.
