EDQW Guidance
The Uniform Federal Policy for Implementing Environmental Quality Systems (UFP) provides requirements and guidelines to Federal agencies for documenting and implementing acceptable environmental quality systems. The policy was developed as a joint initiative by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of Energy (DOE) to ensure that: environmental data are of known and documented quality and suitable for their intended uses, and environmental data collection and technology programs meet stated requirements. The policy can be used as guidance for developing new quality systems or evaluating the adequacy of existing quality systems.
The DoD Environmental Data Quality Workgroup (EDQW), chaired by the Navy, continues to work effectively with the DoD Components to improve the quality of activities and programs involving the collection, management, and responsibilities of the EDQW as required by DODI 4715.15, Environmental Data Quality, dated December 11, 2006.
