Appendix A Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL PLAN The primary objective of the Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan (QA/QC Plan) is to provide procedures to obtain representative data which can be used to meet the project goals. In general, quality of the data is assured by adherence to formalized and standardized field and laboratory procedures performed by trained, qualified personnel. In addition to QA procedures employed by Terra Pacific Group (TPG) during this project, analytical laboratories utilized during the course of this investigation will have appropriate State of California certifications which require adherence to their own specific QA/QC procedures. Selected laboratories will follow appropriate procedures to ensure that acceptable levels of accuracy, precision, representativeness, completeness, and comparability are maintained for each data set. This QA/QC Plan addresses the QA procedures to be followed during field investigations as well as the subsequent evaluation and reporting of data. A.1 PROJECT ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES The sampling will be performed under the direction of the Responsible Manager and by a California Professional Geologist or Civil Engineer, as appropriate. All personnel involved with this project are aware of their individual responsibilities, as described in the following subsections, and understand that QA must be applied throughout the entire duration of the project.
