SUMMARY:USET OERM Webinar | EPA QAPP Guidance and Overview for Tribal Nations
DESCRIPTION:The USET Office of Environmental Resource Management (OERM) is excited to host a webinar with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)\, focused on breaking down the complexities of the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP). Stephanie McCarthy\, from the EPA will provide an overview of the latest QAPP guidance. A QAPP is a formal document that outlines how organizations will ensure the quality and integrity of their data and project processes. It is an essential component for compliance with EPA standards\, particularly for environmental projects. Most funding for EPA projects that include air and water quality\, erosion studies\, bird/wildlife surveys\, and other environmental activities require an EPA approved QAPP before funding can be awarded and projects can commence. Staying up to date with the latest guidance is crucial as QAPP requirements can vary based on the specifics of each project\, making it vital for teams to continually enhance their skills and knowledge in document development. \nThis webinar is designed to support project managers\, coordinators\, and technical writers who may find the QAPP drafting process complex or time-consuming. Whether you are new to creating a QAPP or have faced challenges with previous submissions\, this session will offer practical insights and tools to help you streamline the process and meet the latest EPA standards. You will learn directly from an EPA Quality Assurance Manager\, who will provide clear\, actionable guidance on how to develop a QAPP\, reducing common barriers and frustrations that can delay the approval process. \nThis session will equip you with a clear roadmap for developing QAPPs and offer opportunities to ask questions specific to your projects. By attending\, you will gain the tools to enhance your skills and reduce the time needed to draft and finalize these critical documents. We encourage anyone involved in creating or reviewing QAPPs to attend and take advantage of this opportunity to learn from an expert and improve their quality assurance processes. \nWhen: November 7 at 11:00 am – 2:30 pm Central \nWho Should Attend: \n\nTribal staff including project managers\, coordinators\, and technical writers tasked with creating or reviewing QAPPS.\nOrganizations and Tribal Nations who need support in ensuring compliance with EPA quality assurance standards.\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nTo understand the purpose of EPA’s QAPP Standard\nTo understand the requirements in the QAPP Standard\nTo be introduced to the updates in EPA’s Quality Program terminology and definitions\n\nRegistration: Register today. \nQuestions: Please contact Jakira Saunders\, USET OERM Lead Program Manager\, at jsaunders@usetinc.org or Ben Peyton\, Lead Senior Technical Specialist\, at bpeyton@usetinc.org. \n
