The QMP is an 'umbrella' document which details in broad terms the strategies used to carry out QA/QC during environmental data collection activities and proper data use thereafter. The QMP was prepared in accordance with the March 2001 edition of the EPA requirements document numbered EPA QA/R-2, and entitled Requirements for Quality Management Plans, and to comply with EPA Order 5360.1 A2, entitled Policy and Program Requirements for the Mandatory EPA Quality System"--Page 2.
