APPENDIX D Generic Implementation Plans The concluding task of this project is to develop a road map for the adoption of the proposed methods by SHAs. This road map includes a step-by-step outline of the activities and processes that should be undertaken to facilitate change in the philosophy of QA/QC testing and develop familiarity with spectroscopic testing that is fundamentally different in nature from most field QA/QC processes currently used.

manufacturer data on chemical composition to serve as standards. This is because such data typically provide only broad ranges of concentrations, but also because the method has nuances depending on the matrix and the testing conditions, so that a bulk chemistry determined by some other method may not be reflected accurately under field testing conditions.
