Instream Effectiveness Monitoring Objectives Sample Clauses

Instream Effectiveness Monitoring Objectives. All monitoring should be for the purpose of achieving focused objectives, answering specific questions, or testing well-considered hypotheses. This is particularly true for instream effectiveness monitoring. The following are examples of mechanistic null hypotheses that illustrate the types of questions PALCO will answer through its instream effectiveness monitoring program: Hypothesis—There is no significant increase in streambank instability and scouring of Class III waters with gradients greater than three percent by the end of the first winter period after clearcutting through the application of Class III EEZ prescriptions. Hypothesis—There is no significant (less than 20 percent) increase in turbidity in Class II waters from the inflow of Class III waters adjacent to high-lead, cable-yarded clearcut harvest units through the application of the aquatic strategy Class III EEZ prescriptions. Hypothesis—There is no significant decrease in residual pool volume in Class I and Class II waters tributary reaches with gradients less than three percent after clearcutting and high-lead cable yarding through the effectiveness of RMZ widths in holding materials transported from shallow- seated landslides in check. Hypothesis—There is no significant reduction of overstory tree canopy in Class II RMZs from wind throw after commercial thinning because of pre- and post-harvest tree stocking or RMZ widths, or both, reducing wind-related depth-of-edge effects. Hypothesis—There is no significant increase in summer (mid-July to mid-September), late afternoon average maximum temperatures measured in pools in Class I waters because low water temperatures are maintained in contributing Class II waters. These examples of hypotheses to be tested through instream effectiveness monitoring illustrate how carefully questions have to be developed before designing and implementing instream effectiveness monitoring. They point to the need to establish criteria for determining what is significant (e.g., less than 20 percent), to clearly describe what exactly is to be monitored (e.g., turbidity vs. suspended sediment) and to specify where and when monitoring will occur (e.g., in Class III tributaries with gradients greater than three percent contributing to Class II waters from mid-July to mid-September in late afternoon). The hypotheses are stated in mechanistic terms to help ensure that the monitoring is directed toward investigating the linkages between prescriptions applied to the h...
