An attempt has been made to minimize QA Ajargon@ while, at the same time, ensuring the Guidance is inclusive of the national EPA requirements described in the EPA=s requirements and companion guidance documents:  \n$ EPA Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans, EPA QA/R-5  \n$ EPA Guidance for the Preparation of Quality Assurance Project Plans, EPA QA/G-5 (NOTE: Both of these national EPA documents are available in Module 4.)  \nThe Guidance is written mainly in a directive (or Ato do@) format and describes the materials you will need to assemble via lists, questions to think about and/or obtain answers to, and comments or perspective on the contents for each required section. The Guidance follows the same organization structure as the Template and the Model QA Project Plan provided in Modules 2 and 3, respectively. The section titles are designed to follow those of EPA QA/R-5, while the section numbering system has been simplified to be entirely numerical (e.g., here we use Section 1.1 instead of Section A1). For clarity, and to support referring back to the national EPA documents, the associated EPA QA/R-5 section number has been included in parentheses following the title of each section.  \n1.0 PROJECT MANAGEMENT (Sections 1.1-1.9): These sections describe how you will organize and run the project activities.  \n1.1  Title and Approval Page (EPA QA/R-5 A1) - [The purpose of this section is to identify the project title and name of organization conducting the project, as well as to document approval of the QAPP.]  \nEnsure this page includes:  \n$ Title of project and/or of QA Project Plan  \n$ Name of organization conducting the work (e.g., Big River Tribe Environmental Protection Agency) and their associated address  \n$ Signature/date line for all key parties who must approve the QA Project Plan followed by a printed line including their name, organization, and title (Note: Approving officials may include the Tribal Project Manager, Tribal QA Manager, the Tribal Environmental Director, the Tribal Chairperson or Tribal Council Members, consultant staff, contract laboratory director, the EPA Project Officer, the Regional EPA QA Manager or project representative)  \n$ Assistance agreement or contract number(s) funding the activity and knowledge of what program is funding the work (e.g., Clean Water Act 106 program, Brownfields  \nProgram, Drinking Water Program, etc.)  \n1.2  Table of Contents (EPA QA/R-5 A2) - [The purpose of this section is to allow the reader of the QA Project Plan to locate the different information sections.]  \nProvide a list of the various QA Project Plan sections and subsections, tables, figures, references, appendices, etc. Include the section number, section title, and associated page where the information will be found.  \nRecommend including a header on each page (typically, in the upper right corner) of the QA Project Plan denoting the project name, revision number and/or date of version, and page number.  \n1.3 Distribution List (EPA QA/R-5 A3) - [The purpose of this section is to present a list ofall individuals who should receive a copy of the approved QA Project Plan, as well as any subsequent revisions/updates.]  \nProvide a list ofall key personnel that will receive original and updated copies of the QA Project Plan, along with their respective organization and contact information (i.e., telephone number, email address, and/or mailing address). These individuals may include:  \n$ Project manager for tribe  \n$ Field team leader for tribe  \n$ QA/QC manager for tribe  \n$ QA Project Plan preparer for tribe  \n$ Laboratory manager  \n$ Data reviewers  \n$ Any essential contractor personnel  \n$ Project Officer for EPA  \n$ QA Officer for EPA  \n1.4 Project Organization (EPA QA/R-5 A4) - [The purpose of this section is to identify the roles and r","cbCaisS6T7cNR60S","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisS6T7cNR60S","pdf",240412,31,"English","# Project Management\n## Title and Approval Page (EPA QA/R-5 A1)\n## Table of Contents (EPA QA/R-5 A2)\n## Distribution List (EPA QA/R-5 A3)\n## Project Organization (EPA QA/R-5 A4)\n## Problem Definition/Background (EPA QA/R-5 A5)","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of Module 1 in preparing a QA Project Plan?\",\"answer\":\"Module 1 guides the reader on assembling the starting materials needed to prepare a QA Project Plan, while ensuring alignment with national EPA requirements and companion guidance.\"},{\"question\":\"How is Module 1 organized relative to EPA QA documents?\",\"answer\":\"The guidance follows the same organization structure as the template and model QA Project Plan in Modules 2 and 3, and section titles track EPA QA/R-5 while section numbering is simplified to a fully numerical system.\"},{\"question\":\"What must be included in the Title and Approval Page section?\",\"answer\":\"The project title and organization name, organization address, approval signatures and printed lines for key parties, assistance agreement or contract number(s) funding the activity, and the identity of the program supporting the work should be included.\"}]","MODULE 1 - GUIDANCE ON PREPARING A QA PROJECT PLAN | PDF",1789253597]
