Is compliance with the UFP-QAPP Manual applicable to both basewide (facilitywide) QAPPs and project-specific QAPPs?
Yes. Generic QAPPs are written to address elements of data collection that generally do not change from site to site or activity to activity. They are always supplemented by project-specific QAPPs, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and sampling and analysis plans (SAPs), that address issues not specifically covered in the basewide QAPP. The UFP-QAPP Manual specifically allows cross-referencing to other documents that contain relevant information. Approved generic QAPPs should not be discarded, but rather should be referenced in appropriate parts of the project-specific QAPP to help reduce redundancies and create a more focused document.
