Why Emphasize Quality Assurance?
– Ensure adequate planning in advance so that:• data collected is reliable• analysis supports anticipated decision-making
– Get defensible results– Avoid surprises– Better ensure that data represent actual
conditions
EPA QAPP Requirements
• All organizations conducting environmental programs funded by EPA are required to establish and implement a quality system.
• EPA has developed the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) as a tool for project managers and planners to document the type and quality of data needed for environmental decisions and to describe the methods for collecting and assessing those data.
• EPA requires that all environmental data used in decision making be supported by an approved QAPP.
Region V Project Meeting QAPP Requirements
• Prepared draft QAPP (November 2009)
• Project participants will commit to a final QA plan (November)
• No data collection will occur before QA plan is approved
