Quality Management

Environmental Protection Agency: Quality Management Plan

This plan can be found in a pdf format at: http://www.epa.gov/quality/qs-docs/r2-final.pdf 

"EPA is increasingly involved in the use of environmental technology for pollution control and waste clean-up, the use of particular technologies is often specified in permits and regulations. If decision makers are to have the necessary confidence in the quality of environmental data used to support their decisions or that environmental technology successfully performed its intended role, there must be a structured process for quality in place" (epa.gov).

The quality management plan is not only for projects directly performed through the EPA and its counterparts, but for the many organizations/companies conducting environmental programs funded by EPA are required to establish and implement the same quality system. This structured quality system ensures that the highest quality work is completed though an organized and conscientious approach.
