Module 1: Phase 1 Introduction to Environmental Site Assessments – 24th February 2021 Workshop Webinar
Module 2a: Phase 2 Sampling, Analysis and Quality Plan - 25th March 2021 Workshop Webinar
Module 2b: Field Investigations - 25th March 2021 Workshop Webinar

MODULE 2a: Phase 2 Sampling, Analysis and Quality Plan
Introduction and Module Overview
QLD Auditor Guidelines Section 3.15: The contaminated land investigation document must demonstrate that the investigation components of an assessment of site contamination listed in Section 1 of Schedule B2 of the contaminated land NEPM have been conducted for every stage of investigation. The components include a conceptual site model, data quality objectives, a sampling strategy, and a sampling and analysis quality plan. Those components should be updated as the investigations acquire better information about the site.
By the end of the session you will:
1. Understand the importance of the systematic planning process in the collection of environmental data
2. Understand why data collected must be representative for site assessment decisions
3. Understand the process for development of Data Quality Objectives (DQOs), identification of Data Gaps and design of Sampling Analysis and Quality Plans (SAQPs)
4. Have the tools and resources to use these design tools for your SAQPs and to assess third-party SAQPs
