ETV report
Description:
This test/QA plan for evaluation the generic test protocol for high speed wind tunnel, representing aerial application, pesticide spray drift reduction technologies (DRT) for row and field crops is in conformance with EPA Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans (EPA QA/R-5), and EPA Guidance for Quality Assurance Project Plans (EPA QA/G-5). USDA-ARS will perform the testing, evaluate the data, and submit a report documenting the results to RTI. RTI will use the data to prepare the project reports and recommend revisions to the GVP. The various QA and management responsibilities are divided among USDA-ARS, RTI, and EPA key project personnel as defined. Management and testing of pesticide drift reduction technologies (DRTs) will be performed in accordance with procedures and protocols defined by a series of Air Pollution Control Technology Center (APCT Center) quality management documents. The primary source for the APCT Center quality system is EPA’s Policy and Program Requirements for the Mandatory Agency-wide Quality System, EPA Order 5360.1 A2 (May 2000).
