Example Quality Assurance Project Plan for Monitoring of Surface Water

This example (fictitious) Quality Assurance Project Plan was created for a fictitious tribe in Northern California who plan to conduct basic water quality monitoring on a river and its tributaries within tribal lands. The intent was to create a basic plan which included some field measurements, along with the collection of samples for analysis for basic water quality parameters (i.e., general chemistry, nutrients, and bacteria) plus metals. The project was assumed to be straightforward, with no legal implications.
