Common use of Quality Management Plan Clause in Contracts

Quality Management Plan. All data reported under this Agreement will be quality assured and the Illinois EPA will continue to operate in accordance with its current approved Quality Management Plan (QMP), effective through February 28, 2023. A revised and updated draft QMP will be submitted to Region 5 at least six months prior to the expiration of the current approved QMP. Region 5 will review the revised draft QMP and provide written comments to Illinois EPA. Once the revised QMP becomes effective, it will be updated as needed, and changes will be submitted to Region 5 for approval. In addition, Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs) will be developed as needed in each Bureau for project specific initiatives. Illinois EPA will continue to submit an annual letter to Region 5 by January 31: • identifying any minor revisions needed and/or incorporated into the QMP during the preceding year; • confirming that the QMP approved by Region 5 is still in effect; and • providing complete signed electronic (i.e. pdf) copies of all QAPPs, self-approved by Illinois EPA under this PPA during the preceding year.
