<br />DUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />The Fsvironmental Analytical Services (EAS) Division of Sangre Oe Cristo <br />laboratory, Inc, was founded primarily to assist local, Federal, State and private <br />agencies with analytical requirements in She analyses of surface, ground water, <br />drinking water quality control {at every stage of the water path, from the sotxne <br />to the treatment plant, from the distribution system to the Consumer), <br />atmospheric precipitation studies, and other anvirortrnental artalysea_ <br />The objective of our Plan is to perform timely, accurate, and reproducible <br />chemical analyses. The Plan serves both to monitor file reliability of ttva <br />analytical results and also to control the quality of data produced. The Plan <br />addresses the laboraiory staff's activities in the systematic detenninalion and <br />documentation of the precision and accuracy of the data generated. <br />In our Plan, we address the organization and responsibilities; calibration <br />r-- procedures; laboratory instnyrrentation; data analysis, validation and reporting; <br />performance and system audits; corrective action; quality assurance reports and <br />laboratory safety guidelines. <br />A statement of the precision and accuracy of each method is inducted to indicate <br />the reliability of the test results as well as to serve as a basis for the evaluation <br />of other test procedures, alternate methods that may assist the analyst in testing <br />and aid in the training of new personnel. <br />2.0 LABQRATORY ORGAN12A7t0N AND RESPONSIBILITY <br />AS a contract laboratory, the EAS Divislon is agively involved in many baseline, <br />monitoring, and redamalion initiated water analyses projects. We provide <br />service ranging from sampling to analysis, tecttrtical review, utilizing the {steal in <br />available technology. <br />2.1 QA Officer <br />The QA Offrcer has the responsibility of implementing the Plant within the <br />latwratory. The qA Officsr reports to the Laboratory Supervisor who <br />works closely with the QA officer to ensure the appropriate scientific and <br />economic balance between QA and production are achieved. <br />EB 39Vd ~QS L69E6$56tLS 8050 tr6Fi/Fi~..a <br />
