| Abstract | Long Description |
Each environmental study conducted by or for the Washington State Department of Ecology must have an approved Quality Assurance (QA) Project Plan. The QA Project Plan describes the objectives of the study and the procedures to be followed to achieve those objectives. The QA Project Plan is a product of a systematic planning process. The preparation of a QA Project Plan helps focus and guide the planning process and promotes communication among those who contribute to the study. The completed plan provides direction to those who carry out the study and forms the basis for written reports on the outcome. This document presents detailed guidance on preparing a QA Project Plan. It describes 14 elements to be addressed in the plan and provides supporting information relevant to the content of each element. This document is a revision of the Ecology publication No. 01-03-003, Guidelines for Preparing Quality Assurance Project Plans for Environmental Studies, February 2001. |
