Quality Assurance Program Plans (QAPP) and Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPjP)
What is the difference between a QAPP and QAPjP?
A Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) is the overarching plan for a site, a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPjP) is specific for a specific project, event, or task. Data quality objectives for a QAPjP will meet or exceed the QAPP requirements.
What is a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPjP)?
A QA Project Plan is a written document that describes the quality assurance procedures, quality assurance specifications, and other technical activities that must be implemented to ensure the outcome/results of the project or task meet the project specifications and regulations. The QAPjP is developed to ensure the primary data collection, secondary data usage, and data processing meets the Utah DEQ requirements.
Who needs a QAPP or QAPjP and why?
Any entity submitting data to determine compliance with Utah environmental regulations must submit a QAPP or QAPjP for approval to ensure the project or task is defined, documented, reviewed, and meets DEQ requirements before work is started.
Is there a Template or Crosswalk I can use to help me develop/write QAPP?
Yes, EPA/DEQ has developed a crosswalk for guidance.
