Abstract	The purposes of the Quality-Assurance Plan (QAP) for water-quality and water-level activities performed by the USGS INL Project Office are to maintain the quality of technical products and to provide formal standardization, documentation, and review of the activities that lead to these products. The principles of this plan are: 1. Water-quality and water-level programs will be planned in a technically sound manner, and activities will be monitored for compliance with stated objectives and approaches. The objectives and approaches are defined in an annual project work plan. 2. Field, laboratory, and office activities will be performed in a conscientious and professional manner in accordance with specified USGS Water Mission Area practices and procedures by qualified and experienced employees who are well trained and supervised. If USGS practices and procedures are unspecified or inadequate, the procedures used and the assessment of data quality are documented. 3. All water-quality and water-level activities will be reviewed for completeness, reliability, credibility, and conformance with specified standards and guidelines. 4. A record of actions will be kept to document the activities and the assigned responsibilities. 5. Remedial action will be taken to correct activities that are deficient.
