Description:
The ETV QMP is a document that addresses specific policies and procedures that have been established for managing quality-related activities in the ETV program. It is the “blueprint” that defines an organization’s QA policies and procedures; the criteria for and areas of QA application; and the different QA-related roles, responsibilities, and authorities of personnel. The first draft of the ETV QMP was developed for the pilot period (1995 – 2000) by a team of writers consisting of the following quality assurance staff members from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development National Risk Management Research Laboratory and National Exposure Research Laboratory: Sam Hayes, Lora Johnson, Ann Vega, and Jeff Worthington. Subsequent revisions included significant input in the form of comments from members of the Environmental Technology Verification Team. Verification organizations also provided comments. The team of writers was joined by the following EPA staff in development of the final document: Nancy Adams, Penelope Hansen, Linda Porter, and Shirley Wasson. The first revision was completed in 2002 and reflected the conversion of the pilot projects to ETV centers targeted to broader classes of technologies was developed by Shirley Wasson, Teresa Harten, and Nancy Adams with input from the team. The second revision was completed in 2007 and addressed the inclusion of ESTE projects in the ETV program, delegation of QA review responsibilities to verification organizations, and revision of the existing data policy. It was prepared by Robert Wright, Evelyn Hartzell, and Teresa Harten with input from the ETV teams, and the verification organizations.
