Attachment 8. Quality Assurance

Yuba County Water Agency (YCWA) has an appropriate plan to control quality for the Yuba County Groundwater Model project. In general, all work will be performed under the supervision of a professional geologist or engineer licensed in the state of California. Time for review by principal-level professionals is built into each task shown in the project budget and labor detail (see Attachment 6, Table 6-2). Table 8-1 contains a summary of program activities, listing relevant professional certifications of reviewing personnel and reference standards that will be used during model development.
