Relative <br />to the use for which the data are obtained, the data must be of sufficient known quality to <br />withstand scientific and legal challenge <br />This r .' describes the overall approach used by FGL Environmental to ensure thatt t <br />primary objective of the QA/QC program is met. It outlines quality control procedures 0 <br />use° with field and analytical methods. It also outlines t individual ralysis . <br />standard qualil <br />I objectives which will accomplish the primary objective.
