CERP Quality Assurance Systems Requirements (QASR)

This Quality Assurance Systems Requirements (QASR) manual lays out the protocols and procedures for environmental data gathering activities for the implementation of CERP. It is the foundation of the CERP quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program and will be periodically updated and refined in an effort to strengthen the QA/QC program for CERP. All agencies that will provide data during the implementation of CERP will be required to adhere to this manual. Implementation oversight of the QASR is the responsibility of the CERP QA Oversight Team (QAOT) and the key agencies QA/QC representatives or their designees, in coordination with CERP program and project managers.
