State of Utah Monitoring Strategy State is divided into watersheds or areas where we perform monitoring runs. We combine several projects on these runs such that we combine sampling for all projects that have monitoring requests in that area. –Long term –Non point source –Waste load allocation –UPDES –etc

State of Utah Monitoring Strategy

On any given waterbody, at least one site will be established as the primary deep site. This site will represent the deepest point for the water body and may not always be the site next to the dam. At this site all physical parameters, nutrient parameters and field tests including dissolved oxygen and temperature profiles will be gathered. This site will also be defined as the site where metal and chemistry parameters will be obtained if those parameters are required. In addition, phytoplankton sampling will occur at this site. Depending on the depth of this site, a protocol for sampling will be selected. If the site is deeper than five meters then at least four sampling intervals (surface, two intermediate depths, and a bottom sample) will be defined. If a thermocline exists then the intermediate samples will be from above and below the thermocline. If there is no established thermocline then the intervals will be defined equally throughout the waterbody. Water from the surface sample will be collected and analyzed for nutrient parameters, chlorophyll- a, bacteriological parameters and for the following chemistry parameters: total alkalinity, volatile suspended solids, residual suspended solids, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfate, chloride, silica, total dissolved solids, and turbidity (NTU). During the second sampling period (August/September), phytoplankton samples will be sampled and processed at this sample site. The two intermediate water column samples will be collected and analyzed for nutrient parameters. Water from the bottom will be collected and analyzed for nutrients, metals and total hardness. Sediment samples will be collected for metal analysis. In addition, field (physical) data (temperature, conductivity, pH, and dissolved oxygen) will be obtained at one meter intervals throughout the entire water column and a secchi depth (meters) obtained and reported for this site.

There are four types of biological groups in STORET the two groups not shown are –Single taxon frequency classes –Single taxon individuals

Habitat Assessment –All EMAP protocols are available in STORET –All EPA Rapid bioassesment protocols are available in STORET –You can make your own habitat assessments characteristics in STORET

State of Utah Monitoring Strategy & STORET It is a big leap of faith to use STORET as your primary data storage tool. The task of designing a database to handle all the different types of data involved in water quality assessments was daunting. STORET has remained dynamic, and will change with changing technology and assessment techniques.
