Quality Assurance & Quality Control [QA/QC] Program
Description / purpose
The QA/QC Program implements our QA/QC Policy through Water Resources Engineering Memo (WREM) 60 (PDF). WREM 60 establishes our policies and procedures to assure that quality assurance is used in our chemical and physical measurements, data collection, and data measurement and management activities. Our QA/QC Program ensures that all water-related data is collected in a way that is scientifically sound, legally defensible, comparable and compatible with State and federal agencies, and is properly documented. All of our divisions, districts, contractors, and agency cooperators performing measurement activities are subject to the provisions of WREM 60.
QA/QC protocols include:
Standard operating procedures
Quality assurance templates
Quality control standards
Quality assurance assessments
Department-wide quality assurance guidance documents
