Monitoring Objectives Sample Clauses

Monitoring Objectives. The objectives of the monitoring program are to assemble, collect and analyze biological, hydrologic and air-quality data that improve the current understanding of baseline conditions and natural variation, and provide early detection of effects from SNWA and Existing Permitted User (EPU) groundwater withdrawals in Snake Valley. Data collected by this program will: 1) support assessments of groundwater-influenced ecosystems inhabited by sensitive or special- status species; 2) include measurements of groundwater-levels and spring discharges where effects may be attributed to groundwater development within Snake Valley; 3) include certain water quality parameters that may be affected by groundwater development within Snake Valley; and, 4) include certain air quality parameters that may be affected by groundwater development within Snake Valley.

Monitoring Objectives. The monitoring objectives outlined in the Plan include assessments of both the implementation and effectiveness of gravel enhancements under Interim Measure 7. Field observations related to implementation were intended to answer three primary questions: 1. Were placement methods cost-effective and implemented within the proposed budget constraints? 2. Were placement procedures safe and effective for getting gravel placed in the intended locations and quantities? 3. Were there any unanticipated problems in either the implementation or the effectiveness of the placements? Effectiveness monitoring was intended to evaluate whether the placed gravel distributed and sorted as intended given the flow regime experienced during the performance period (October through June). Effectiveness monitoring was designed to provide data to answer the following specific gravel distribution/sorting questions for each gravel placement site:  Did the flows that occurred since the previous gravel placement result in movement (scour) of the placed gravel?  Did the flows that occurred since the previous gravel placement result in a change in channel cross section (net scour or aggradation) across the gravel placement site or some distance downstream?  Did the gravel placement result in a change in substrate composition across the gravel placement site or some distance downstream? Methods used for both implementation and effectiveness monitoring are described below.

Monitoring Objectives. The state has identified monitoring objectives critical to the design of a monitoring program that is efficient and effective in generating data that serve management decision needs. EPA expects the state to develop a strategy and implement a monitoring program that reflects a full range of state water quality management objectives including, but not limited to, CWA goals. For example, monitoring objectives could include helping establish WQS, determining water quality status and trends, identifying impaired waters, identifying causes and sources of water quality problems, implementing water quality management programs, and evaluating program effectiveness. Consistent with the CWA, monitoring objectives should reflect the decision needs relevant to all types of state waters.

Monitoring Objectives. The objectives of the monitoring program described in this Work Plan are as follows: • Continue to monitor the stability of the in-channel deposits previously identified under Task 2.1. • Obtain additional bed elevation measurements from the SSTB to confirm the depositional patterns observed from prior surveying activities and evaluate its ability to serve as a sediment trap for solids leaving the Tittabawassee River. • Monitor the topography of the Reach MM and Reach WW in-channel center islands for potential changes relative to prior surveying activities. Data collected under this Monitoring Work Plan, in conjunction with data collected under the Task 2.2 Work Plan dated September 22, 2010, will be used to support the Task 2.3 and Task 2.4 evaluations.

  • Performance Monitoring ‌ A. Performance Monitoring of Subrecipient by County, State of California and/or HUD shall consist of requested and/or required written reporting, as well as onsite monitoring by County, State of California or HUD representatives. B. County shall periodically evaluate Subrecipient’s progress in complying with the terms of this Contract. Subrecipient shall cooperate fully during such monitoring. County shall report the findings of each monitoring to Subrecipient. C. County shall monitor the performance of Subrecipient against the goals, outcomes, milestones and performance standards required herein. Substandard performance, as determined by County, will constitute non-compliance with this Contract for which County may immediately terminate the Contract. If action to correct such substandard performance is not taken by Subrecipient within the time period specified by County, payment(s) will be denied in accordance with the provisions contained in this Paragraph 47 of this Contract. D. HUD in accordance with 24 CFR Part 570 Subpart O, 570.902, will annually review the performance of County to determine whether County has carried out its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) assisted activities in a timely manner and has significantly disbursed CDBG funds and met the mandated “1.5 ratio” threshold. Subrecipient is responsible to ensure timely drawdown of funds.
