APPENDIX C<br />

1. INTRODUCTION<br />

This Base-Wide Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) has been prepared as part of the Kirtland Air<br />

Force Base (AFB) Base-Wide Plan (BWP) required to support environmental restoration activities at<br />

Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Environmental restoration activities include Resource<br />

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Facility Investigations (RFIs), Interim Corrective Actions<br />

(ICAs), Corrective Actions (CAs), monitoring of natural systems and treatment operations, and other<br />

associated work efforts. This appendix was previously included as part of the Data Collection Quality<br />

Assurance Plan (DCQAP) in Volume II of the BWP as Part I of the DCQAP.<br />

Environmental restoration activities planned for Kirtland AFB include:<br />

2.1 Purpose<br />

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Facility Investigations (RFIs)<br />

Interim Corrective Actions<br />

Corrective actions<br />

Monitoring of natural systems and treatment operations<br />

Other associated work efforts<br />

The purpose of this Base-Wide QAPP is to describe the policies, objectives, concepts, systems, and<br />

procedures to support the implementation of environmental restoration activities at Kirtland AFB. This<br />

QAPP identifies and describes the elements of the quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) system<br />

integral to the performance of environmental restoration activities. The QAPP provides the framework<br />

and criteria for establishing project-specific planning documents to plan, implement, and assess the<br />

effectiveness of services associated with projects at the base. Effective implementation of individual<br />

QA/QC requirements, procedures, instructions, and reports developed from this QAPP, together with<br />

project-specific addenda, will ensure that:<br />

All project activities are conducted in a safe manner protecting the public, base personnel,<br />

property, and the environment.<br />

All environmental data are of the appropriate type and are of known, acceptable, and<br />

defensible quality needed for their intended use.<br />

All remedial/removal activities (e.g., waste collection, waste treatment, waste containment,<br />

waste storage, and waste transport) are performed in accordance with defined requirements<br />

and expectations.<br />

All work is performed in compliance with governing regulatory and contractual<br />

requirements.<br />

The QAPP has been prepared in accordance with the requirements and guidelines established by the<br />

United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Air Force (USAF), in<br />

conjunction with base contractors. The references used in preparing this document are:<br />
