The QA/QC <br /> Manual utilized by Cananie is based upon U.S. Environmental Protection Agency <br /> (EPA) guidance documents, EPA-Office of Solid Waste & Emergency, Response <br /> C' <br /> Publication SW-846, and EPA Contract Laboratory Program Criteria. <br /> The QA program is designed to ensure the reliability in the identification and <br /> measurement data. The QC program is designed to obtain prescribed standards <br /> of performance in the identification and measurement data. The above areas <br /> 4 will be discussed in detail along with sampling, collection and preservation, <br /> sample control (log-in & storage) , instrument calibration and maintenance, and <br /> analytical methodology. <br /> It must be understood by anyone outside of the laboratory staff who may use <br /> this manual that specific projects may require Quality Assurance Project Pians <br /> (QAPP) of greater detail than presented in this manual. Also, data quality <br /> objectives cannot be well defined in this manual for any given project and <br /> must be understood to be a function of the technical work plan for a specific <br /> project. <br /> CanQnielinvironnnenta! <br />
