The attached Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) template was developed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), with support from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

The QAPP describes the planning, implementation and evaluation steps that will be consistently applied by those involved in a School District’s Lead Sampling Plan, including but not limited to School District personnel, NJ Certified Laboratories, and Consulting firms/Licensed Site Remediation Professionals. Following the actions specified in this QAPP will provide a high level of confidence in the results of this and future rounds of sampling. This will help meet the overall goal of ensuring any appropriate remediation measures are quickly identified and implemented.
