  1. Standards and Practices of MonitoringorMonitoring Standards of Practice Discussion of Potential Work Products At NWQMC Meeting 7/18/06

  2. Suggested Manual of Standard Practice • National ( insert constituent) Monitoring Methods • Outline: • About this series • Significance of (Nutrients) in Water • ( insert constituents in the class) Covered ( and why) • Recommended Data Arrays ( for a spectrum of monitoring needs) • Ancillary data needs • Field methods • Probes • Kits • Laboratory methods • Quality Assurance Concerns • Appendices: • Model contract • Reference numbers • CAS numbers • Parameter codes • References • NEMI • Technical background

  3. Suggest that Manuals of Standard Practice would be prepared for constituents in NMN: • Physical Measures • Flow magnitude and direction • Flood frequency analysis • physical habitat • Sediment loads--suspended • Water-quality characteristics • Inorganic constituents • Major ions, • Nutrients, • Metals • Metalloids • Organic Chemicals • Bulk organics • volatile organic compounds • pesticides • halogenated hydrocarbons, • polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons • Emerging concerns (Pharmaceuticals and wastewater chemicals) • Biological diversity • Biological toxicity

  4. How does this relate to the NWQMC monitoring wheel?

  5. Need to connect standards of practrice for…. • Watersheds above the head of tide • Estuaries • Coastal areas • Atmosphere • Wetlands • Ground water

  6. Webpage links showing Comparability of Field and Analytical Methods for the Network of Networks in NMN

  7. Summary • Probably something that is needed • Rather large and daunting task • Need to scope out in more detail before we go forward • Who would do this--MDCB or private contractor • Need feedback
