EPA National Program Offices Quality Assurance Managers
Each EPA Regional Office, National Program Office and ORD National Research Laboratory and Center develops and implements its own individual system in support of the EPA Quality Program. Below are the contacts for each EPA organization. (Note: All EPA e-mail addresses are of the form lastname.firstname@epa.gov except where specified.)
Several EPA organizations have quality-related web pages that contain information on training, guidance and other items. For your convenience, links to these web sites are provided next to the responsible office.
The Office of Environmental Information's Enterprise Quality Management Division (EQMD) develops Agency-wide Quality Program policies, develops supporting guidance and tools, provides related training and outreach and oversees the implementation by EPA organizations. Katherine Chalfant (chalfant.katherine@epa.gov) is the Director of the EQMD.
