Each topic, except Data Management and Bulletins, has two sections: General and Technical. General publications can be easily understood by the lay reader. Technical publications are scientific or regulatory in nature and require an understanding of the program area. The topics are: • Wetlands: wetlands uses, protection and regulation; • Oceans/Coastal: ocean discharges, ocean surveys, marine and estuarine protection; • Watershed Protection: basin-wide lake and reservoir protection and restoration, and total maximum daily loads (TMDLs); • Nonpoint Source: prevention and treatment of agricultural and urban runoff; • Data Management information systems documentation and data quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) guidance; • Water Quality Assessment&Monitoring: volunteer monitoring, ocean discharge, water quality reports, bioaccumulation, and water quality monitoring guidance; and • Bulletins: cut across all topic areas, disseminate information to a targeted group of readers on a variety of production schedules. NOTE: Topic areas are broadly defined. Publications are not cross referenced. Since there may be some overlap, review the entire list.

The model has been formulated on the basis of coastal transport, particle transport, organic carbon cycles, and includes the effects of coagulation and settling of effluent particles and natural organic material. This manual and the accompanying software in the SAS system presents nonparametric statistical methods for trend assessment in water quality, with an emphasis on lakes. The purpose of the manual and software is to furnish lake program managers with guidance on the application and interpretation of methods for the detection of trends in lake water quality. (107 pp.) Provides a discussion of available methods to collect thirty-two biological, sediment, and water quality variables included in 301(h) monitoring programs to evaluate the impact of modified discharges on marine biota, demonstrate compliance with applicable water quality standards, and measure toxic substances in the discharge. (17 pp.) Outlines state monitoring and reporting requirements for watershed projects funded under section 319 of the Clean Water Act. Reviews selection criteria for National Monitoring Program Projects. Describes four information files used in reporting: section 305(b) Waterbody System, Management File, Monitoring Plan File, and Annual Report File. Also includes the data input and reporting software package, Nonpoint Source Management System, Version 3.0, and hard copy report forms.

The Hotline is staffed by Information Specialists who are trained and experienced in answering requests for information about wetlands regulations, legislation and policy pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, wetlands values and functions, and wetlands agricultural issues. They maintain a high degree of current regulatory, programmatic and policy knowledge. The Information Specialists provide in-depth, EPA-approved information, documents, and referrals addressing federal and state regulatory programs, wetlands science, and educational outreach. They can also respond to specialized research requests using the Hotline's extensive reference library as well as other pertinent sources, including the Internet. An extensive list of contacts at regulatory agencies and other organizations is maintained to provide the most appropriate and accurate referrals. The wetlands documents listed in this catalog will be mailed to requestors, as long as supplies last, free-of-charge. Frequently, new documents, including emergent regulatory guidance, technical documents, and other specialized wetlands publications, are added to the Hotline inventory. Each mail order request will include an updated publication list.
