GLIN==> Preparing and reviewing project-level quality documentation

Training will be provided on two topics in four separate training
modules on June 29 and 30, 2010:
Preparing Project-level Quality Documentation, and
Reviewing Project-level Quality Documentation.

The 4 hour webinar, Preparing Project-Level Quality Documentation, will
provide an introduction to the essential elements of quality assurance
project plans (QAPPs). The 4 hour webinar Reviewing Project-level
Quality Documentation will assist in completing a review as well as
understanding the necessary components of quality documentation.  QAPPs
are used to plan and implement the generation, assessment and/or use of
environmental data necessary for decision-making. It is expected that
the scope of many Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) projects
supported by assistance agreements and interagency agreements will
include environmental data and, in turn, will require submission of a
QAPP or other quality documentation as determined by U.S. EPA.

All organizations, which have submitted GLRI proposals that have been
accepted by U.S. EPA, should plan to participate in Preparing
Project-Level Quality Documentation on June 29-30, 2010. Other
organizations which may submit GLRI proposals in the future for
consideration by U.S. EPA are also invited to participate.

Training will be available through on-line webinars (webinar
registration links below). For further information contact Amberina Khan
at 312-886-1503. A certificate of completion will be awarded to
attendees who complete each 4-hour training session, resulting in a
total of two certificates for attendance to the full suite of training.
