Can verbal approval be used during the QAPP modification process?
Verbal or electronic (i.e., e-mail, fax) approval of modifications may be obtained to expedite project work. Verbal approvals should be documented in telephone logs. Both verbal and electronic approvals should be retained in the project file. Subsequently, the approved modification must be documented in an amendment to the QAPP and submitted to all approval authority, if applicable, for signature approval within seven working days.
