This document was revised in April 1999 to provide an updated "EDQL - Appendix C." The following document provides the Regional Policy for development of Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPP), which must submitted by facilities who are regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). When addressing these specific project objectives, Workplans must be developed in accordance with Regional Policy(s). Special care must be taken to assure that the collection of data documentation is of known and reliable quality. This QAPP Policy document details how facilities can design investigations utilizing QAPP in such ways that data of an appropriate quality can be generated for regulatory decision-making.
