Field reconnaissance of Monitoring Stations. The QAPP for the Paired Watershed Study identifies the general locations of monitoring stations for each component of the study’s experimental design. However, prior to full implementation of the study, the locations of these stations must be identified with greater precision. To achieve that objective, monitoring leads identified in the QAPP for each component of the study’s experimental design will conduct field reconnaissance to map the specific locations of all monitoring stations. This will include 14 stations that will be used for hydrologic, water quality, and sediment quality monitoring and 19 stations that will be used for physical habitat and biological monitoring. In connection with each reconnaissance, the specific location of each station will be identified and recorded using a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) unit. Conditions at each station will also be documented photographically. In addition, the necessary flow and water quality monitoring equipment will be identified, bids solicited from vendors, purchased and installed at the field stations. Assumptions Up to six members of the Project Team will participate in the reconnaissance for stations to be used for hydrologic and water quality monitoring. The reconnaissance of all these stations will be completed in an 8-hour day. Up to five members of the Project Team will participate in the reconnaissance for stations to be used for physical habitat, sediment quality, and biological monitoring. The reconnaissance of all these stations will be completed in an 8-hour day. Deliverables for Subtask B 1.1 Table summary of GPS coordinates for each monitoring station.
