Description:

The Data of Known Quality Protocols (DKQPs) are analytical performance objectives developed by NJDEP to standardize the minimum Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) and reporting documentation expected for analytical laboratory data used by environmental practitioners. This 60-minute presentation will assist environmental practitioners in ensuring that the performance of the laboratory meet the minimum requirements for QA/QC.

Topics to be discussed:

  • Overview of NJDEP DKQPs Technical Guidance
  • What analytical methods/ parameters are included
  • Identifying the minimum requirements for laboratories for reporting (i.e., DKQ Performance Standards)
  • How to ensure that the laboratory has met the requirements for the project specific QAPP (the data quality objectives)
  • How to determine whether the quality of the data is sufficient for its intended purpose to support decision making
  • What QA/QC steps can be helpful when assessing data usability for methods that are not included in the DKQPs, such as draft EPA Method 1633 (PFAS)

The presentation will be followed by a moderated interactive open forum roundtable discussion. Please come prepared to discuss critical issues or concerns you feel directly impact your work.
