This directory is just one of several essential tools for volunteer
monitoring groups provided by the U.S. EPA's Office of Water.
Others include:
• Guidance documents. EPA has published three guidance
manuals: Volunteer Water Monitoring: A Guide for State
Managers; Volunteer Lake Monitoring: A Methods Manual;
and Volunteer Estuary Monitoring: A Methods Manual.
A manual on river monitoring is under development
• Newsletter. EPA supports The Volunteer Monitor
newsletter.
• Electronic bulletin board. EPA supports a volunteer
monitoring special interest group on the nonpoint source
(NPS) bulletin board. The bulletin board provides volunteers
with a forum for communication as well as access to features
such as a calendar of events and a bibliography of volunteer
monitoring resources.
• Conferences. EPA has sponsored four national volunteer
monitoring conferences (in 1988,1989,1992, and 1994) and
the publication of proceedings for these conferences.

PREFACE
It is with great excitement and pride that we have developed this fourth,
greatly expanded edition of the National Directory of Volunteer Environ-
mental Monitoring Programs. We hope that this directory will prove to
be a valuable resource to a wide variety of people involved in protecting
our environment—beginning monitoring groups, established groups
expanding to meet new challenges, and water resource professionals. It is
thrilling to witness the growth of volunteer monitoring, to dream of the
potential and to have a small part in helping it happen.
We would like to thank the many University of Rhode Island staff
members and students without whose assistance this directory could not
have been produced. Mike Conroy carefully entered initial information
from more than 500 questionnaires into the electronic database. Jean
Krul, Yaqin Li, and Courtney Stirling entered the corrections and
updated information, and we are grateful for their patience and thorough-
ness. Annette Burgess created the maps used in the introduction.
Donna O'Neill designed the layout and the cover.
We would also like to thank the many people whose comments and
advice helped us develop the format for the questionnaire and database,
as well as those who reviewed the introduction and helped us interpret
the statistics.
Funding support was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Rhode Island Sea Grant (NOAA), the University of Rhode
Island, and Citizens Bank.

INTRODUCTION
Since the publication of the first edition in September 1988, the National
Directory of Volunteer Environmental Monitoring Programs has been a
valued resource for networking and information sharing. Established
volunteer monitoring groups have turned to the directory to locate other
groups facing similar challenges, while those new to monitoring have
used it as a source for models of successful programs.
The first edition was a slim pamphlet listing 44 monitoring programs in
24 states. With each successive edition, the directory has grown and
become more comprehensive. This fourth edition, which includes 517
groups in 45 states plus the District of Columbia, clearly demonstrates the
growth of the volunteer monitoring movement—and not only in terms of
numbers. Volunteer environmental monitors are also collecting increas-
ingly sophisticated data and making substantial contributions to scientific
research, resource management, and local advocacy.
This fourth edition represents a much more ambitious undertaking than
earlier editions, in several ways: A standardized survey questionnaire was
developed to gather detailed information on monitoring programs; the
survey was mailed to a much larger audience than ever before; and, for
the first time, the data were catalogued in an electronic database.
Historically, good quantitative data on the nature and extent of volunteer
monitoring activities has been scanty or nonexistent. The directory
questionnaire and database were specifically designed to yield statistics to
fill that gap. The results portray a diverse, widespread, rapidly growing
volunteer monitoring movement that is composed mainly of small
grassroots efforts. These programs cite education as the number one use
of their monitoring data and report that local and state decision makers
increasingly use the information gathered by volunteers.
-------
In interpreting the statistics that follow, bear in mind that undoubtedly
there are some programs that are not included in this directory and the
data are only as good as the responses given on the survey forms. Some
respondents left some questions unanswered or provided a qualitative
response when the questionnaire called for quantitative information.
Therefore, many of the statistics are not based on the entire database but
include only those programs that provided a complete response in a given
category.
Growth of the volunteer monitoring movement
New volunteer monitoring programs are forming at an impressive and
increasing rate (see Rgure 1). Three-hundred-thirty-eight programs, or
65% of those in the directory, were founded between 1988 and 1992,
with more than half founded in 1990 or later. There were almost three
times more programs formed in 1992 than were founded in 1988. It is
impossible to assess whether this trend continued into 1993 since the
survey was mailed early in the year.

1992. Note that the directory also includes 129 programs founded before 1988,
and 36 that started in 1993 (only a partial count since the survey was mailed
early in 1993).
Geographical distribution of volunteer monitoring
The 517 monitoring programs included in this directory are spread
throughout 45 of the 50 states, plus the District of Columbia (see Figure
2). There is a wide range in the number of programs per state. Seven
states include more than 20 programs, with Virginia and Washington in
the lead (39 and 37 programs, respectively), followed by Pennsylvania
(34 programs) and New York (33). At the other end of the scale, five
states have just one program listed in the directory, and there were
another five (Hawaii, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Nebraska) from

(Based on responses from 478 programs)
whiehiio surveys were returned. Monitoring programs are particularly
numerous along the East Coast, around the Great Lakes, and in
California, Washington, and Texas.
Another way to analyze the geographical distribution of volunteer
monitoring is to look at the number of volunteers in each state. The
programs in this directory include a total of 347,313 volunteers, who are
distributed among the states as shown in Rgure 3. Virginia tops the list
with 169,296 volunteers in 37 programs, followed by Texas (33,912
volunteers in 16 programs), Illinois (29,850 volunteers in 12 programs),
Louisiana (25,085 volunteers hi 6 programs), and Washington (12,763
volunteers in 39 programs).
Because each state's situation is different, only limited generalizations
can be made based on these geographical data. For example, Louisiana's
annual statewide cleanup (Keep Louisiana Beautiful), which involves
25,000 volunteers, obviously has a major impact on the reported number
of volunteers for Louisiana. Similarly, the number of monitoring pro-
grams in a state is not always proportional to the amount of monitoring
activity in that state. One state may have a large statewide program
involving hundreds of volunteers and sites while another may have a
large number of small programs representing relatively few volunteers.
The surest way to obtain an accurate picture of the amount and type of
monitoring activity in any state is to review the individual program
descriptions in the directory.
Program size
The number of volunteers per program tends to be fairly small—the
median program size is 25 volunteers. One-quarter of the programs have
10 or fewer volunteers, and 70% have 100 or fewer (see Table 1). This
small size underscores the local, grassroots nature of most volunteer
monitoring activities. The few programs with more than 1,000 volunteers
are mostly statewide, regional, or national monitoring networks, or
programs that organize large cleanup efforts.
Working with schools
A large number of programs in the directory indicated some level of
involvement with schools: 67% work with middle and high school
students, 41% with elementary students, and 35% with colleges (the
percentages add up to more than 100 because many programs work with
more than one school category). Moreover, a closer examination of the
entries in the directory reveals that a substantial number of monitoring
programs are completely school-based, with all the monitoring performed
by students and teachers. School-based monitoring appears to be one of
the fastest-growing elements of the volunteer monitoring movement—not
surprisingly, since monitoring projects offer excellent opportunities for
students not only to do hands-on science but also to become involved in
community issues.

Environments monitored
In the past, volunteer monitoring programs tended to specialize in moni-
toring one specific type of water body. This pattern is changing as more
and more volunteer programs are taking a whole-watershed approach to
monitoring—for example, evaluating a lake hi conjunction with its
tributaries, outlet streams, and associated wetlands. Of the 517 programs
in the database, 195, or 38%, monitor more than one water body type.
Rivers are monitored by the largest number of programs—nearly three-
quarters of all programs in the directory include river monitoring among
their activities (see Figure 4). Lakes follow (monitored by 29% of
programs), with estuaries close behind (23%). Relatively few programs
monitor wetlands, beaches, or wells. This emphasis on rivers, lakes, and,
to a lesser extent, estuaries is also characteristic of nonvolunteer surface
water monitoring nationwide. Monitoring of wetlands and wells may
increase in the future, as states and localities concentrate on nonpoint
source pollution control.
Programs were also asked to report the number of stations sampled for
each environment Programs that do not have established monitoring
stations were not able to furnish this information; however, the 317
programs that did answer this question monitor approximately 16,000
stations nationwide (see Figure 5). The data on stations monitored
provide some interesting insights on the distribution of volunteer

monitoring activity. Even though there are more than twice as many
programs monitoring rivers as lakes (as shown in Figure 4), the number
of stations monitored for lakes is only slightly less than the number for
rivers. The most likely explanation for this finding is that many lake
programs are statewide or regionwide efforts (often run by state water
quality agencies) that sample a large number of lakes per program.
It would be interesting to compare the number of volunteers monitoring
each environment Unfortunately this cannot be done using the survey
data, since the reported numbers of volunteers are for the program as a
whole yet many programs monitor two or more different environments.
Any attempt to calculate the total number of volunteers monitoring a
single water body type would double-count the volunteers from those
programs.
Parameters monitored
Table 2 shows the total number of programs that monitor each of the 32
specific parameters listed on the survey form. In order to characterize and
compare the types of monitoring performed on different types of water
bodies, we also separated out and examined specifically those programs
that monitor just a single water body type—either rivers only (204
programs), lakes only (44 programs), or estuaries only (36 programs).
The top eight parameters tested for each of these three water body types
are shown in Table 3.
In view of the large number of programs that monitor rivers (72%; see
Figure 4), it is not surprising that the overall parameter rankings shown in
Table 2 tend to mirror the parameters tested most often in rivers. Thus,
the top four parameters listed in Table 2—temperature, pH, dissolved
oxygen, and macroinvertebrates—are the same as the top four monitored
by the rivers-only programs.
In general, the parameter rankings for the different water body types
(Table 3) follow logically from the most common water quality concerns
associated with each system. Rivers have historically been affected by,
and regulated for, point sources of organic, oxygen-consuming waste.
Dissolved oxygen, BOD, temperature, flow, and nitrogen are typically
included in monitoring studies designed to assess these problems. All of
these parameters, except BOD, are among the top eight tested by the
rivers-only monitoring programs.
The most common concern in lakes is nutrient overenrichment, which
results in accelerated eutrophication. Secchi depth, temperature,
chlorophyll a, dissolved oxygen, and phosphorus are the parameters most
widely used to characterize trophic status in lakes; these are
also the parameters most frequently tested by volunteer programs
monitoring lakes. Two other common lake problems are acidification,

which can be caused by acid precipitation or mine drainage, and bacterial
contamination of swimming.beaches, which leads to public health
concerns. Volunteer programs assess these problems by monitoring, j
respectively, pH and coUfbrm bacteria.
Estuaries are commonly monitored by measuring salinity, temperature,.
dissolved oxygen, and nitrogen. Whereas phosphorus is generally the
limiting nutrient in fresh water, nitrogen is usually limiting in salt water.
These same four parameters rank high for volunteer estuary monitoring
programs. Coliform bacteria are of particular importance in estuaries
because coliform levels determine which areas are safe for shellfishing.

The parameter rankings reveal that a large number of volunteer monitor-
ing programs are using biological assessment methods. Half the total
programs in the directory (and three-quarters of the programs that
monitor rivers only) monitor macroinvertebrates. Aquatic vegetation is
monitored by 33% of total programs, fish by 29%, and birds and wildlife
by 29% (Table 2). It is likely that in the future volunteer monitoring
programs will incorporate biological assessments to an even greater
extent as they address diffuse nonpoint source pollution problems. The
current emphasis at the federal and state levels on development of
biological criteria will also encourage volunteers to learn and practice
biological methods of monitoring.
Metals, pesticides, and hydrocarbons are expensive to test and accord-
ingly are among the least frequently monitored parameters. However,
volunteer activities such as watershed surveys and fish and macro-
invertebrate monitoring provide screening tools that can indicate the
presence and impacts of toxic discharges.
Uses of volunteer monitoring data
Responses to the survey question about data use confirm that volunteer
monitoring has a major impact at the local level (see Figure 6). The most
common use of monitoring data (selected by 85% of programs) is
education—building public awareness about natural resources and the
threats they face. Two other local activities, problem identification
(watchdogging problems in the water and watershed) and local decision
making, are the next most frequent uses, followed by research, nonpoint
source assessments, watershed planning, and habitat restoration.
Many of the data uses indicated by respondents are state-level uses—for
example, development of water quality standards (127 programs in 35
states), passage of environmental legislation (84 programs in 30 states),
and enforcement (120 programs in 34 states). Fifty-three programs from
27 states provide data to their state for use in the state's biennial 305(b)
report ("the state of the state's waters") to EPA and Congress. These
statistics demonstrate government agencies' growing recognition of the
value of volunteer monitoring data.
Who uses the data
hi order to determine who (besides the volunteer programs themselves)
uses volunteer monitoring data, the survey asked respondents to identify
which of five categories of groups used their data. State and local govern-
ment virtually tied as leading users of volunteer data, with advocacy
groups a close third (see Figure 7).

Funding
Annual budgets range from zero to $500,000. On the whole, volunteer
monitoring lives up to its reputation as a low-cost proposition; the median
annual budget is $4,000, and 63% of the programs report budgets of
$10,000 or less (see Table 4). In fact, the reported figures may overesti-
mate the actual cost of monitoring, since a number of respondents noted
that they had difficulty separating out monitoring costs from other
organizational costs.
The survey listed six choices for funding sources—state, federal, corpo-
rate, foundation, dues, and other. Figure 8 shows the total number of
programs receiving funding from each source.
The category "other" was selected most often—214 programs, or 43%,
receive funding from "other" sources. A number of respondents noted
specific sources for this category; these included local governments (i.e.,
town, city, or county), school districts, local businesses, service clubs,
community groups, member contributions, in-kind donations, and
fundraising events. This reliance on local community sources reflects the
grassroots nature of most volunteer monitoring projects.
Government at all levels emerges as a significant source of funding for
volunteer monitoring, especially considering that the category "other"
includes local government. Some specifically named sources of federal
funding were: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency via Clean Water
Act and Environmental Education grants; U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture (USDA); National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) via Sea Grant and National Estuarine Research Reserves; and
the National Park Service.
xvi
-------
It is interesting that state government ranks high both as a user of volun-
teer data and as a funding source for volunteer programs. These results
suggest that one reason states are willing to support volunteer monitoring
is that they find volunteer data useful in watershed planning and assess-
ment of pollution sources.

Conclusion ,
Volunteer monitoring has become a groundswell of creative activity that
is adding a powerful dimension to environmental protection. It is an
opportunity for individuals to take personal responsibility for their local
environment, to take informed action to make a difference in their
community. We expect that the role for volunteers monitoring the health
of our nation's aquatic habitats will continue to expand over the next
several years as water resource managers increasingly focus on nonpoint
source pollution, integrated watershed management, and public
involvement.

How the directory survey was conducted
A draft of the survey questionnaire was test-mailed to 10 monitoring program coordinators in December 1992 and revised in
response to their comments. In January 1993, the final questionnaire (reproduced below) was mailed to everyone on the
mailing list for The Volunteer Monitor newsletter (nearly 8,000 names).
Over 700 questionnaires were returned. Duplicate surveys were eliminated, as were those from groups not engaged in
monitoring and those that represented individual volunteers rather than organized groups. Respondents were contacted by

More than 500 questionnaires were entered into the database. A report format was designed for summarizing the information
for each program, and in July 1993 printed reports were mailed back to program coordinators for review, updating, and
corrections. Over 225 were returned with changes, and the new information was entered into the database.

•Notes
During the 5th annual Alabama Coastal
Cleanup on September 19, 1992, 3,432
volunteers cleaned 87 miles of beach, picking up
43,091 pounds of debris. The success of the
cleanup can be attributed to the dedication of the
volunteers, zone captains, businesses,
corporations, government agencies, and the
Center for Marine Conservation. The cleanup is
jointly coordinated by the Alabama Department
of Economic and Community Affairs Coastal
Program Office and the Alabama Department of
Environmental Management.
The majority of the funding comes from

The Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies
sponsors an annual Coastwalk in which 200 to
300 volunteers from Homer and other Alaskan
communities walk 135 miles of coastline around
Kachemak Bay, observing the condition of the
beaches. Data on land and sea mammals, birds,
and intertidal life are noted, as well as signs of
human use, including type and quantity of litter,
historic landmarks and prehistoric archeological
sites. Data are tabulated on a computer database
and are available for public use.
In addition to recording useful data, participants
actively contribute to the quality of the beaches
by picking up plastic debris and other types of
litter. The Center's office in Homer has
educational materials available on the marine
debris problem, including activities suitable for
the classroom. These materials are made
available to the schools and the public through
the Center's lending library.

Alaska Water Watch is a statewide umbrella
organization for "hands-on" aquatic stewardship j
activities. Compatible programs across the state
are joined in a partnership. An Interagency j
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) j
formalizes the partnership between three state j
resource agencies: The Alaska Departments of j
Environmental Conservation (ADEC), Natural i
Resources (ADNR), and Fish and Game
(ADFG). Citizens, for Clean Water is the name
of the ADEC volunteer program affiliated with ;
Alaska Water Watch. Monitoring is the
principal activity of the program volunteers. In i
addition to monitoring, other themes include i
education, maintenance and restoration, and j
pollution prevention. These themes provide an j
"awareness to action" philosphy which leads to.
comprehensive environmental stewardship.
Federal funding is through a Clean Water Act
Section 314 grant (20%) and a Section 319 grant j
(80%). !

Notes
The Santa Cruz River Intensive Study is a
yearlong study to assess the status and the
changes in water quality and biotic communities
over distance and time of an effluent-dominated
water. Data will be used to (1) determine if
current designated uses are correct, (2) determine
more accurately the length of the
effluent-dominated water reach, (3) delineate
zones of pollution, and (4) provide information
to local citizens and government agencies
concerned about the safety of recreational water
use. The study will help to fill an information
gap related to effluent-dominated waters in arid
environments and prpvide data fpr calculating
future physical, chemical, and biological water
quality standards.
The volunteers who are collecting the data are
members of the Friends of the Santa Cruz River.
Funding is provided by the ADEQ, Arizona
State Parks, and Santa Cruz County Health
Department, with non-monetary assistance from
Arizona Game and Fish and the International
Boundary and Water Commission.

The Ozark Society Adopt- A-River program is a
volunteer program for monitoring the condition
of streams and lakes in the Arkansas, Louisiana,
Missouri, and Oklahoma region. The primary
duty of a volunteer is to keep an eye on his or her jl
adopted river. Volunteers are asked to float or |
signs of pollution or environmental degradation.
When problems are identified, the Ozark Society
will contact the appropriate regulatory agency
and push for agency action. Volunteers can be
individuals, organizations, or school classes.

CLEAN South Bay (Coalition for Effluent
Action Now in South Bay) is a coalition of sport
and commercial fishing groups, recreational
users of the bay, and environmental
Francisco Bay - especially south of the
Dumbarton Bridge - from toxic pollution in
sewage discharge and stormwater runoff from
Silicon Valley. The group endorses pollution
prevention, source control, and watershed
protection.
CLEAN South Bay serves as an umbrella
organization. Supported by its member groups,
volunteers write letters, organize other
volunteers, give testimony, assist with public
education, and work on media outreach.
Today CLEAN South Bay is expanding its
"Watershed Watchdog" role to build on
successful 1993 negotiations of source control
agreements with the three local sewage treatment
plants. Coalition members are exploring urban
runoff pollution prevention opportunities for the
Santa Clara Valley municipal separate storm
seWer 'systems. Special emphasis is being given
to stormwater pollution caused by automobiles
and provision of alternative, convenient, and
affordable transportation alternatives.

Our goal is to educate the public concerning the
values of urban creeks. We developed an
education packet called "Dipping into Creeks,"
and we present teacher workshops. Monitoring
s not a focus.
The program does not have regular monitoring
stations. Elementary school groups are taken to
local creeks and ponds to learn about biological
monitoring techniques.

Citizen volunteers have formed the
Wildcat-San Pablo Creeks Watershed Council,
which monitors land use proposals, changes in
riparian habitat, visible water quality problems,
sediment transDort fill dumpins obstructions to
Ssh, fish kills, etc.
The citizens have produced a broad inventory
of watershed issues and problems associated
with distinct subbasins located in the more
natural upper watershed; the urbanized central
portion; and the lower watershed, which is in a
poverty area, with flood problems, toxic and
pollution problems, and existing community
involvement.
The Council solicits funding from a variety of
sources to sponsor stream restoration projects;
reports visible pollution problems to state
authorities; and sponsors public education
projects, including tours of the watershed for
government agencies and consultants to educate
them on restoration opportunities' and
constraints.

Notes
The Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project
(MBS&TP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated
to the preservation of native silver salmon and
steelhead trout populations and the water and
riparian habitats that support them. MBS&TP is
primarily concerned with the dwindling wild
species of fish in coastal streams and rivers from
San Mateo County to Santa Cruz and Monterey
as well as Santa Clara and San Benito counties.
The purpose of the hatchery is to supplement
natural production, which has been severely
reduced due to environmental degradation. Over
1,150,000 juvenile silver salmon and steelhead
have been reared and released in local streams
since 1976 when the program was founded.
Over 100 teachers and 5,000 students have
participated in MBS&T classroom projects. The
project makes extensive use of volunteer labor.
Over 15,000 hours were donated by 389
volunteers in support of the project's hatchery
and rearing operations in the past year.

Notes
The Gulf of the Farallones National Marine
Sanctuary currently involves volunteers in two
monitoring programs: Beachwatch and pelagic
surveys.
Beachwatch is a survey program in which
volunteers visit
marine debris at
visitor Use, phot
report natural 01
problems such a
selected beaches, document
:d beachcast organisms, assess
ograph the beach profile, and
human-caused environmental
s oiled birds and tar balls.
Volunteers for pelagic surveys must have
backgrounds in seabird, marine mammal, pelagic
invertebrate, or fish identification. Pelagic survey
volunteers will help conduct transects of Cordell
Bank and the Gulf of the Farallones National
Marine Sanctuaries. Volunteers will document
marine organisms and envrionmental conditions
encountered during transects, log data, and
skipper the transport vessel.

Notes
The San Francisco BayKeeper's mission is to
protect, preserve, and enhance the resources and
health of the ecosystems and communities of the
San Francisco Bay/Delta region. Specific
objectives are: (
report pollution
as necessary, in
(3) to serve as
and as a deterre
L) co monitor water quality ana
incidents, (2) to advocate and,
stitute litigation against violators,
in antenna for citizen complaints
nt to illegal activities on the bay,
and (4) to create an informed voting
constituency which is aware of both the bay's
unique value and its current plight.
BayKeeper places pressure on agencies to
enforce compliance with existing environmental
laws. Its program of ongoing bay patrols and
monitoring provides an example of the way in
which individual citizen action can reduce i
environmental degradation and provide cost -
effective oversight to ensure that environmental ;
laws are being enforced. j
B ay Keeper does not perform regular ;
monitoring, but collects samples as needed for !
enforcement, permit compliance, and other
regulatory and research projects.

Save Our Shores (SOS) is a grassroots
conservation group dedicated to preserving the
unique, biologically diverse environment of
Monterey Bay and California's central coast.
SOS is a non-profit, volunteer-based
organization with over 1,200 supporters.
Since the 1970's, SOS has successfully led the
effort to defend the coast from offshore oil
drilling. They have fought to curtail and prohibit
human activities that threatened the coast. They
were instrumental in the designation of the
Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, the
largest in the nation.
Save Our Shores Sanctuary Watch volunteers
identify and respond to threats within the
sanctuary. The group educates other citizens
about the regulations in the sanctuary and
services a toll-free number to report suspected
violations within the sanctuary.

Notes
The objective of the Water Environment Studies
Program is to promote student understanding of,
and respect for, the San Francisco Bay Delta
Region environment. The program introduces
students to "hands-on" experience in using
scientific equipment and collecting and. ,
analyzing data.
Students (mainly 5th and 6th graders) go on a
3-hour cruise on a research vessel. During the
cruise, they use scientific equipment to collect
and analyze samples. Over 5,000 students use
the vessel each year.

Citizens groups will adopt approximately i
one-mile sections of the South Platte River near
the Denver Metro area. A pilot project with a
1- 1/4 mile segment has been monitored from
August to October, 1992. The project now has ;
four sections adopted for 1993. j
Initially types of data collected include all forms i
of recreational uses (walking, boating, bird i
watching, biking, etc.) and bird counts. All are
quantitative and done bimonthly. j
For 1993 the project intends to add quantitative j
river habitat mapping and identification of areas i
in need of beautification and habitat i
improvement. I

Notes ' . '
The Rivers of Colorado Water Watch Network,
developed by the Colorado Division of Wildlife,
is an aquatic education program, a water quality
monitoring program, interdisciplinary hands-on
network, and a growing dynamic consortium of
students, teachers, natural resource personnel,
private industry, and community representatives.
The three primary goals of the program are:
1. Provide an educational opportunity for
middle/junior high and high school students to
understand and value our river ecosystems. The
students, with supervision and support of their
teachers, schools, and communities, monitor a
stretch of river near their community, collecting
biological, physical, and chemical data over
tune. After data collection, the kids learn how
these three parameters interact to produce the
river ecosystem. They learn that when one of
these three components is disturbed, the other
two are also affected. The students also learn
ethical approaches to taking action in response to
environmental problems.
2. To obtain accurate and consistent baseline
water quality data on the rivers in Colorado.
3. To establish a dynamic communications
network that provides agencies and citizens with
information on Colorado's rivers.
As of fall 1992, 125 schools, including .
approximately
150 teachers and 800 students,
were actively involved in the program.

Notes
The Connecticut River Watch Program (CRWP)
is a community-based volunteer water quality
monitoring, protection, and improvement
program for the lower Connecticut River and its
Soil and Water Conservation District and the
CRWP involves teachers, students, and citizen
volunteers in a long-term study of water quality
and river corridor management issues. River
monitoring activities include collection and
testing of water samples, collection and
identification of benthic macroinvertebrates, and
assessment of river and riparian habitat.
Program participants also take part in data
review and analysis, and in the development of
recommendations for further action. The
program provides a picture of water quality over
time, and allows participants to evaluate the
effectiveness of corrective actions. It is both a
tool for educating the public and building
awareness about the importance of clean water
and an effort to collect high-quality data that can
be used to identify water quality problems and
solutions. The program operates with a Federal
Environmental Protection Agency-approved
Quality Assurance Project Plan.

Harbor Watch, a fully volunteer organization, is
dedicated to monitoring the environmental j
quality of the Saugatuck, Norwalk, and Five j
Mile River harbors. Established by Westport j
resident Dick Hai
measure and quai
juvenile marine a
estuaries so that I
prevent further de
TIS in i y» /, its purpose is to :
itify oxygen content and ;
nimal populations in the :
aselines may be established to j
;gradation of these waterways. i
Measurements of oxygen content and juvenile j
marine animals are taken weekly so that a data i
base may be established which will be the j
foundation for federal and state studies and j
funding to save our harbors and rivers Such :
measurements require a coordinated effort from ;
hundreds of volunteers — those who take the i
actual measurements, those who provide boats i
and materials, and those who work behind the :
scenes in maintaining the equipment. ;
River Watch is conducting research in an effort ;
to determine how nonpoint sources of pollution ;
affect the health of the Saugatuck River. River j
Watch is acquiring valuable data on dissolved !
oxygen levels, pH, and the aquatic life in the i
river. The program is also ppproviding the local !
community with information on common sense i
approaches to property management as it relates i
to the improvernment of water quality. i

The Mystic River Watch Program was initiated
in the summer of 1990 in response to citizen j
concerns about the potential for degradation of
water quality in the Mystic River watershed. j
This watershed comprises an area of
approximately 2
wooded hills, ar
four municipal!)
Land use is prin
with some light
1 square miles of partially ;
id lies within the boundaries of
ies in southeastern Connecticut.
larily agricultural and residential,
industry as well as tourist, i
boating, and fishing industries.
Under the Mystic River Watch Program, water
quality is monitored monthly between May and
September at 30 locations throughout both the :
freshwater and estuarine reaches of the ;
watershed. Water samples are collected and i
analyzed for nitrate, phosphate, and silica i
concentration, pH, and numbers of fecal coliform ;
bacteria. In the estuary, salinity and dissolved ;
oxygen are also measured. The entire program,
including sampling, laboratory analysis, and
data analysis, is conducted by volunteers. The
program is sponsored by the Mystic
River-Whitford Brook Watershed Association
and receives facility support from the Williams
College Maritime Studies Program in Mystic,
CT. Data collected by this program are
forwarded to the four municipalities in the
watershed, as well as the CT Department of
Environmental Protection and the River Watch
Network in Vermont. A data report is published
each year.

Notes
The Aquanaut Program (AP) is an educational
initiative of NOAA's National Undersea
Research Center at the University of Connecticut
at Avery Point. The program was designed to
quest for scientific knowledge that has waned
since the days of Sputnik and Apollo,
The AP attempts to narrow the gap between
scientific discovery and the classroom.
The objectives of the AP fall into two categories
targeted at (1) providing a rewarding
educational experience and (2) developing a
research framework to meet the educational
objectives of the program. Students are
involved in all facets of research in a "hands-on"
style. Students and teachers will be involved in
developing a research project with a
scientist-mentor who has experience in a project
that addresses marine resource or environmental
issues. Funding for AP comes from NOAA.
In addition to testing water quality parameters,
students perform bottom mapping and marine
mammal surveys.

The Search Program is designed to introduce
students in grades 9-12 to the methods and
materials involved in environmental quality
monitoring of air, land, and water.
Schools can be involved in three different types
of monitoring programs: monitoring of water
quality' in rivers, lakes and ponds; monitoring of
wetlands; and monitoring of acid rain deposition.
Technical assistance and equipment are -
provided by the Department of Environmental
Protection during the first year with the
understanding that the program will be continued
in following years under the school's funding.
Cost and commitment vary according to the
program. Students and faculty collect data and
analyze results and provide information in the
form of a report to the Department of ; .
Environmental Protection.

Notes
The West River Restoration Project 's primary
goal has been to clean debris out of the West
liver, a tidal river that feeds into Long Island
Sound. Project volunteers have removed over
2,000 tires, five cars, several shopping carts,
appliances, drums, plastics, machinery, boat
parts, glass, construction material, household
garbage, and fishing line.
The group also cleans along the beaches and
wetlands that border the river.
The West River Restoration Project also
monitors the storm drains along the river and
ceeps an eye on local businesses and gas
stations. ' •
The group canoes and walks parts of the river on
a weekly basis throughout the year.

The SEARCH Program is a river study project
that enlists the help of high school students in
adopting and monitoring the water quality of a
local river. For the past three years, students in
Xavier High School's ecology classes have
become actively involved in real "hands-on"
scientific research by selecting and monitoring 5
sampling sites along the Coginchaug River (a
tributary of the Connecticut River). Four times
during the school year students take a field trip to
the river to collect physical, chemical, and
biological data. At the end of the school year,
the students write a collaborative report on their
results, which the Connecticut Department of
Environmental Protection publishes and
distributes to interested units within that agency,
as well as to other interested community
organizations.
This program benefits both students and their
community. The students learn the value of
teamwork and of using their mathematical skills
in analyzing and interpreting their data. They
also learn to organize their results into a
publishable, written form. At the same time, the
local community benefits by gaining important
water quality data for a river that they
collectively seek to preserve.

Citizen Monitoring Program are: (1) to collect
verifiable water quality data to be used to
support public policy decisions with regard to the
management of the Inland Bays and (2) to
increase public participation and support for the
protection and management of these aquatic
resources.
In addition to water quality parameters,
volunteers also monitor tidal stage air
temperature, and weather conditions.

Notes
The Nanticoke Citizen Monitoring Program is a
technical program established in 1991 by the
Research Task Force of the Nanticoke
Watershed Preservation Committee and the
DNREC to protect the water quality of the
Nanticoke Watershed. The DNREC provided
advice on how to best confront the potential of
urbanization on the Nanticoke River and thereby
prevent the problems that exist in the Inland
Bays area. The goal of this group of concerned
citizens is to collect baseline data that will
determine whether there are pollution threats to
the environmental status of the Nanticoke
watershed and to take the action necessary to
ameliorate the problem.

The Cooperative Game Fish Tagging Program
(CGFTP) was created in 1954 and is a
continuing joint research effort between fisheries
scientists and both recreational and commercial
fishermen. This
information on
of marine fish s
Gulf of Mexico
5 program is designed to provide
the movements and the biology
secies in the Atlantic Ocean, the
and the Caribbean Sea. The
success of the CGFTP is due to the direct
participation of the public in scientific research.
There were over 4,900 active anglers in 1992.
Since the program began, back in 1954, almost
200,000 fish have been tagged and released, and
nearly 8,000 have been recaptured.

Florida LAKEWATCH is coordinated by the
Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences at
the University of Florida. The goal of the
program is to train people who live on lakes to
take water samples and basic data which can be
used to evaluate and monitor the quality of their
lake's water. Volunteers document nutrient
level, algae content, and water clarity. The
information obtained is made available to
interested individuals, homeowner groups, and
agencies involved in lake management.

Notes ;
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is working with
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) in implementing a coral
reef monitoring program in the Florida Keys
National Marine Sanctuary. Volunteers are
being trained through a course given at a
community college in the Florida Keys. The
volunteers are SCUBA divers that are trained for
two different jobs:
1) Community reconnaissance survey of reefs.
Volunteers estimate the area coverage of corals,
sponges, and algae across a reef community.
2) Coral identification, colony numbers and
measurements. This survey requires more
expertise in biology; volunteers need to learn to
identify small and large colonies of a targeted
coral species. Surveys include the counting and
measuring of coral colonies to determine colony
numbers and the size distribution of colonies at a
given reef site of interest.
A Florida Bay Watch Water Quality program is
under development.

project in 1991. Volunteer monitors come from
four local high schools the Lake Allatoona
Association, and the Lake City B.A.S.S. Club.
This wide array of monitors serve to educate the
public, students, and individuals who use the
lake.
Lake Allatoona is a 12,010-acre lake located in
north Georgia. The lake covers three counties
and is currently being studied under a U.S. EPA
Phase 1 Diagnostic-Feasibility Study Grant. The
citizens monitor the tributaries surrounding the
lake and also collect data from various lake
stations. The data that are collected are stored in
a computer data base and are analyzed to
monitor the status of the lake.

The Lake Lanier Citizen's Monitoring Program
is conducted as a Continuing Education class at
Gainesville College. Volunteers pay for the
class, and some of the money is used to cover lab
expenses.
Volunteers collect water chemistry samples at
100 stations on the lake. At each station, samples
are collected at the surface, at 1 m above the
bottom, and, where deep enough, at the
thermocline. Volunteers also work in the lab,
performing various tests including fecal
coliform, total phosphorus, and chlorophyll.
Thirty-four of the 100 stations are also sampled
Dy professionals at other times. 1. he professional
results are used as a quality control check for the
volunteers' work.

Friends of Lime Creek is a loosely organized
group. Most monitoring consists of reports of
observations by recreational hikers, bikers,
hunters, and fishers when they visit the area. The
group's appeal and settlement of the Sawtooth
National Forest management plan resulted in an
agreement that Forest Service and state
environmental quality personnel would conduct
baseline water quality and fisheries monitoring.
Lime Creek volunteers stand ready to assist in
any such monitoring efforts as needed.

The Idaho Citizen Volunteer Monitoring
'rogram, designed by the North Idaho Lake
Association and the Idaho Department of Health
and Welfare, Division of Environmental Quality
(DEQ), began in 1987. The objectives of the
jrogram are to (1) address changes in lake
renditions over time where baseline studies have
seen completed; (2) determine general lake
conditions where no information has previously
jeen collected; and (3) provide information for
the state's biennial Water Quality Report.
Funding is from a Section 314 CWA grant and a
:>hase 2 grant for one project.
Monitors generally try to sample once in spring,
twice in summer, once in fall.

The River Advocate Team (RAT) is a volunteer
river protection program of Idaho Rivers United.
Volunteers participate in this program in order to
protect free-flowing rivers. The volunteers,
known as RATs, take reponsibility, individually
or in small teams, for monitoring Idaho's
free-flowing rivers. The volunteers do not
conduct water quality testing. They evaluate
development proposals and monitor grazing and
logging activities. Through monitoring activity
on the river, and communicating with state and
federal resource management agencies and the
public, the RAT can help protect his or her
adopted river.

Streamwalk is a standardized, easy-to-use
screening tool for monitoring stream corridor
health. It is designed to be used by lay people,
including teachers and their students, who are
interested in learning more about streams and
rivers. To date, 350 middle and high school
teachers and 250 volunteers in Idaho have been
trained to use Streamwallc. The data collected
can be used to focus attention on areas that may
be of concern and to help direct further
evaluation by experts. The goal is to collect
enough good data so that agencies can make
comparisons and evaluate trends over time.

About 90% of the volunteers in this program are
teachers and students. Teachers take their
students to monitoring sites along the DuPage
liver. At each site, participants use kick-seine
nets to collect macroinvertebrates within the
substrate. The students can then determine the
quality of the stream by the amount of diversity
in the .species of macroinvertebrates collected.

Notes 1
The Illinois Rivers Project is an integrated,
multi-dimensional, science, technology, and
society project developed to introduce water
quality studies into Illinois high schools. At the
present time, 250 schools from 23 states form the
"River Watch" network, tied together through
SOILED NET, a telecommunications system
located at Southern Illinois University at
Edwardsville. The Rivers Project involves high
school science, social studies, and English
teachers in an integrated study of their local river
and community. Science teachers and students
conduct water quality tests; social studies
teachers and their students evaluate cultural and
historical impacts on the river, along with their
relationships to water quality; English teachers
and their classes process this information into a
publishable collection of writings called
"Meanderings," which spans all aspects of river
life: past, present, and future.
The "Meanderings" book is available for $12.

Notes
Over 250 volunteers take part in the Illinois
Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program, which
began in 1981 with funding via the Clean Water
Act, sections 106 and 205(j).
Volunteers are trained by Illinois EPA and
areawide Planning Commission personnel to
measure Secchi transparency and total depth and
to record field observations on their chosen lake.
The information is used by a variety of
government and private organizations. This
program has attained tremendous success by
rewarding volunteers with achievement awards
and maintaining contact with the volunteers
through publications, training sessions, and
annual meetings.
Funding is via Clean Water Act sections 106
and 205(j).

RiverWatch Network is an environmental
education and volunteer stewardship program
involving 6,000 students and citizens in three
stewardship programs: (1) Citizen Stream
Monitoring; (2) Annual Fox Rescue; (3)
Adopt-A-Stream 2000.
RiverWatch stream monitoring programs
provide baseline data, teach stream ecology, and
engage citizens in restoration projects.
Fox Rescue is an annual basin-wide cleanup.
Adopt- A-Stream 2000 offers monitoring groups
the opportunity to go beyond monitoring and i
engage in one or more of 10 planned citizen i
action activities. The program's long-term goal is i
to enable the adoption of every river and stream j
mile in the watershed by citizen groups by the
year 2000.
The RiverWatch Network's science and
technical advisory committee is implementing a i
GIS information system to report on the health of
the watershed.

The program targets an area above and below a
manmade waterfall. The upper station creates a
profile of the stream using meters to measure the
parameters. The station below measures the
chemical parameters.
On a monitoring day, a school group monitors
both sites using the two different techniques.
College students, volunteers, and staff personnel
are at each site to help the high school students
monitor.
Funding is provided by the Forest Preserve
District of DuPage County.

Notes
The Indiana Volunteer Lake Monitoring
Program was created in 1989 as a component of
the Indiana Department of Environmental
Management's Indiana Clean Lakes Program.
The program is administered through a grant to
Indiana University's School of Public and
Environmental Affairs. The Indiana Clean Lakes
Program is a comprehensive, statewide public
lake management program with five
components: public information and education,
technical assistance, volunteer lake monitoring,
lake water quality assessment, and coordination
with other state and federal lake programs.
The citizen volunteers allow the Indiana DEM
to monitor water quality on many other lakes
than would otherwise be possible. In 1992,
volunteers on 80 lakes made 556 Secchi disk
measurements. In addition, 1992 marked the
beginning of an "expanded" program in which
volunteers on 30 lakes collected monthly water
samples for total phosphorus and chlorophyll
analyses. The analyses are conducted in SPEA's
Clean Lakes Program laboratory.

Notes
The nonpoint source pollution section of the
Kansas Department of Health and Environment
has recently initiated a project, with partial
funding from the EPA, called the Kansas High
School Stream Project. This project provides
analytical and computer equipment, stream
monitoring supplies, stipends to participating
teachers, and guidance to several high school
biology instructors around the state to help them
establish local stream and lake monitoring
networks. The project is designed to educate
students and teachers about water quality and
conditions in their local area through regular
collection and analysis of water samples and
physical evaluation of streams and the
surrounding watershed. The participants will
also identify known and suspected pollutant
sources and initiate local public information
campaigns to educate communities about the
importance of controlling nonpoint source
pollution.
Eleven high schools throughout the state are
participating in the project. The participating
schools will report their data to the Kansas
Department of of Health and Environment and
the many other schools around the state via
computer link called the Kansas Environmental
Monitoring Network (KEMNET).

Notes
Citizens for a Clean Tangipahoa (CFACT) is a
nonprofit grassroots organization dedicated to
the restoration and protection of the Tangipahoa
River in southeastern Louisiana as a natural and
scenic waterway. Prior to 1987, the Tangipahoa
River was a major recreational waterway for
southeast Louisiana. Some 200,000 visitors used
the river each year for activities such as
swimming, tubing, canoeing, and fishing.
Unfortunately, environmental degradation of the
river has increased in recent years. Water quality
studies of the river showed fecal coliform levels
which posed a significant health risk, and in
1988 the river was posted as unsafe for boating
and swimming. The resultant economic loss to
the region has been estimated at $4.5 million per
year. CFACT was formed in February 1991 as a
citizen action group to publicize this situation
and its causes, and work on possible solutions.

The Bagaduce Water Watch was formed in 1992
to implement a program of ongoing water quality
monitoring of the marine estuary in the Castine,
Jrooksville, and Penobscot area. The purpose of
he program is to assist the .Department or
Vlarine Resources and local officials in
dentifying sources of pollution in the estuary,
with the hope that pollution can be abated and
that areas closed to shellfishing can be reopened. .
Another goal is to establish baseline data to
determine the present condition of the estuary ,
and to evaluate the effect of future shoreline
development on water quality.

In 1988, the University of Maine Cooperative
Extension began helping two midcoast citizen
groups develop and implement monitoring
programs. The program is now called the Glean
Water Program and provides organizational and
technical assistance and training statewide to
coastal volunteer monitoring programs.
Cooperative Extension works with these local
programs in conjunction with the State Planning
Office's Partners in Monitoring Program.

The Deer Isle Partners in Monitoring Program
was begun in the summer of 1992 under the
auspices of the Shore Stewards Program. The
focus of the group has been on shellfishing
access. The group works with the Department of
Marine Resources and is hopeful that data
collected will eventually lead to the re-opening
of closed shellfish beds.

The Georgetown Shellfish Committee (GSC) is
a town committee appointed by the Selectmen.
The committee is very active and works closely
with area biologists from the Department of
Marine Resources (DMR) to monitor the area's
water. Committee members participate in a
regular water sampling program. Samples,
which are taken biweekly April through
December and monthly the rest of the year, are
analyzed by the DMR. The GSC compiles a
database which they share with other shellfish
committees and groups working for coastal
clean-up and improved water quality.

Notes
The Kittery Water Monitoring program is a
two-purpose effort designed to involve the
community in water quality awareness and to
improve local tidal waters for recreational uses.
After two years of water monitoring by volunteer
adults, the program has now expanded to the
local school system. The high school has been
equipped with water testing equipment in its
science lab, and middle school teachers are
working on designing a curriculum unit on
nonpoint pollution. The latter two efforts have
been supported
in part by small state and
foundation grants solicited by the Conservation
Commission.
Results of the group's findings have been used
to alert enforcement agencies to water quality
violators and to
gain state approval to open a
large tidal embayment to depuration harvesting
of softshell clams, which is an important industry
in Maine. In time, we look forward to further
improvement in water quality so that these
waters may be opened to recreational harvesting,
as well.

The Scarborough Coastal Pollution Commission
(SCPC) is a nine-member town committee, with
members from diversified educational and
professional backgrounds. The committee acts as
an advisory bodv (not as an enforcement bodv)
to the town cou
pollution affect
icil on the types and sources of
ng the town's coastal and inland
waters and Scarborough's active clamming
industry. The SCPC is working diligently to get
rid of the pollution responsible for the closure of
25% of the town's 150 acres of clam fiats.
Volunteer monitors collect samples and measure
temperature, salinity, pH, and fecal coliform
bacteria biweekly (year-round). Dissolved
oxygen profiles are performed at least monthly,
and complete watershed surveys have been
performed for the past two years. At least 24
monitoring stations are located throughout the
Scarborough River watershed, which
encompasses more than 58 square miles of
marine/estuarine waters and freshwater
tributaries. Volunteers include students and
teachers from Scarborough High School, as well
as several citizens from the community.
A grant from the Shore Stewards Partnership
(administered by the Maine Coastal Program)
enabled the SCPC to fully equip the high school
laboratory with state-of-the-art instrumentation
for water quality testing. Members are actively
developing pamphlets, an educational display, a
public workshop, and a video presentation with
funds awarded from an EPA 319 grant. .

The Shore Stewards Partnership at the Maine
State Planning Office brings together citizen
volunteers, educators, policy makers and
scientists in an effort to help Maine's coastal
communities reduce marine pollution and protect
coastal waters. The Partnership (in existence
since 1990) uses a unique combination of
technical and organizational contributions from
the state government, Cooperative Extension, the
University system and private philanthropy to
offer assistance to local groups such as
conservation commissions, shellfish committees,
land trusts, and watershed associations. The
Partnership facilitates its objectives through
work in four primary areas: information,
funding, data management, and a pilot project
with schools and communities called "Partners in
Monitoring."
The Partnership receives part of its funding from
a CZMA section 306 grant. In the future,
information collected by the Partnership will be
used in preparing the state's 305(b) Water
Quality report.

The program started in 1974 and has been under
the supervision of the DEP since 1977. The
>rogram's objectives are: collection of a
ong-term data base, education, and cross
communication between state and public sectors.
Over 275 volunteers monitor transparency
biweekly in conjunction with the DEP' s periodic
sampling. On many lakes temperature 'and
dissolved oxygen are also recorded. The
srogram involves individuals, lake associations,
and state and federal agencies, and recently
became international in scope by involving New
Brunswick citizens to monitor Canadian waters
that flow into international boundary waters.
This program has proved invaluable iti obtaining
data on lakes that otherwise would not be
sampled.

Notes
The Water Quality Monitoring Program was
formed in 1992 and expanded in 1993. A total of
80 volunteers from communities along Casco
Say's shore and islands will be involved in
monitoring the Bay.
The program has three segments. In the first
segment, which will run April through October,
each volunteer will be responsible for taking
surface samples biweekly at one of
approximately 40 sites. The samples will be
analyzed on-site for temperature, dissolved
oxygen, pH, and salinity. Secchi disks will be
used to get an indication of clarity.
In the second segment, volunteers will assist in
taking water column profiles from the Baykeeper
boat. Profiles will be taken for temperature,
dissolved oxygen, and salinity using YSI meters.
Sampling will be conducted year-round,
biweekly March through November arid monthly
December through February, at approximately 8
sites in deep water, mid-channel, off a
submerged discharge, or some other area
accessible only by boat.
In the third segment, fecal coliform monitoring
will be conducted at approximately 1 1 closed
shellfish beds. One or two volunteer boat crews
will collect samples monthly, May through
November, and transport them to the Maine
Dept. of Marine Resources lab in Boothbay for
immediate analysis.

Estuarine tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay are
monitored by volunteers at approximately 100
stations. Water parameters measured include pH
(LaMotte wide range color comparator),
dissolved oxygen (LaMotte Winkler kit), water
clarity (Secchi), depth, salinity, and temperature.
Air temperature, rainfall, and current weather
conditions are also monitored. Funding comes
primarily from the county budget, but has also
been provided through grants from the
Chesapeake Bay Trust. The monitoring data are
used for baseline studies, education,
watchdogging, and long-term trend assessment
for planning and development within the
watershed.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service coordinates
an annual citizen effort to locate Chesapeake Bay
grass beds. These grasses, known as submerged
aquatic vegetation (S AV), are an important
indicator of overall water quality. These
underwater grasses provide habitat and shelter
for fish, provide food for waterfowl, add
much-needed oxygen to the water, help trap
suspended sediment, and reduce erosion of the
shoreline. The increase or decline of these
grasses is of great interest to Bay managers and
scientists.
Volunteers who wish to participate in the annual
"S AV Hunt" receive a data sheet, a map of the
area they wish to survey, and a field guide to
help identify the various species of submerged
aquatic vegetation. The volunteers map the
location of S AV beds and identify the species
found at each location. About 100 sites are
surveyed.

The Foster Branch Watershed Improvement
Project is a community effort to clean up,
monitor and maintain the Foster Branch
watershed for the enjoyment of the local
population and to provide a model for other
communities.
The Joppatowne High School has been
monitoring the water quality of Foster Branch
since 1990. Students perform monthly testing at
three sites on the stream. The information is
forwarded to the MD Department of Natural
Resources.

Notes
The Maryland Stream Restoration Program
trains teachers and students to monitor their local
streams. The program trains over 60 groups a
year on their local streams. Data collected by the
groups are used to develop water quality trends
on their own streams. Groups design and
implement their own conservation projects as
part of their stream surveys. These projects
include seedling planting, trash cleanups, and
wildlife habitat improvements.

Notes
The Severn River Monitoring Project was
organized to create a data base for use in making
decisions that impact on the Severn River.
Trained high school science teachers take groups
of ten students on a research vessel during the
school year and the summer. Monitoring
stations have been identified along the river, and
a standard data sheet has been created to ensure
uniform collection at each site. Data are
summarized each season and sent to interested
agencies. Students and teachers benefit
educationally by experiencing the collection of
field data. Funding from this program comes
from both the state and Anne Arundel County.
Twenty teachers have been trained and 600
students have collected data.

The Sierra Club, Montgomery Group is
cooperating with the Audubon Naturalist Society
in setting up a water quality monitoring program
in Montgomery County. Members are trained by
Audubon and are planning to adopt several
streams in Montgomery County. The group also
plans on holding demonstrations to introduce
more citizens to the problem of water quality.

for development, they are often thought of as
wastelands. The program will help' teachers and
students to better understand wetlands and-to
become involved with the community in '
protecting these valuable areas.
"A World in Our Backyard" is a three-part
multi-media education program geared for
middle school students and their teachers. The
program consists of two videos and a workbook.

The Buzzards Bay Citizen's Water Quality
Monitoring Program, co-sponsored by the
Coalition for Buzzards Bay and the Buzzards
Bay Project, began in April 1992 with over 100
volunteers monitoring 30 major embayments.
The volunteers test the water on a weekly basis
for dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, and
water clarity. Sampling is less frequent in the
spring and fall. Training was provided by the
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. In
addition to routine parameters, four rounds of
nutrient samples are collected in selected
embayments for analysis during the summer.
The data generated are entered into a database
for analysis by the Buzzards Bay Project and are
presented annually in a newsletter to volunteers
and environmental managers. Funding for the
project comes from federal CWA sec. 320,
National Estuary Program grants.

The Chicopee River Watch Program was started
in 1992 with assistance from the Massachusetts
Water Watch Partnership. Funds for start-up
were solicited from local businesses. The local
Monsanto facility enabled start-up and
continuation of the program by providing
funding and volunteers. A certified EPA lab has
donated analysis services for more complicated
tests, although much of the testing is done by
trained volunteers in the field. The program has
affiliated with the Greater Springfield Water
Watch Program, a project of the Springfield
Science Museum. In the next year the group
intends to start testing for flow and to begin
watershed mapping, habitat assessments, and
debris cleanups.

Notes
Concern over the potential deterioration of water
quality in near-shore coastal ponds led to the
development and implementation of a water
quality monitoring program in Falmouth,
Ayfacea^hnciattQ in 1 QR7 The core of the uroiect
involves the active participation of citizen
volunteers who conduct water quality sampling
in five coastal ponds and one harbor. This
project, known locally as the Falmouth Pond
Watchers Program, represents a unique
partnership between scientists from WHOI, local
citizens, and town government. The scientific
information generated through the efforts of
citizen volunteers, under the guidance of WHOI
scientists, is applied directly and immediately to
planning decisions and management objectives
for the town.
More than 50 volunteers actively participate in
this effort, periodically collecting nutrient
samples and making physical measurements as
well as participating as the "eyes, ears, and
noses" of the ponds, promptly reporting any
unusual occurrences or characteristics such as
algal blooms or fish kills. Volunteers also
maintain rain and tide gauges, shellfish growth
experiments, fish censuses and bird counts, and
biofouling experiments. The project has
generated a significant body of information on
these ponds and is considered to be one of the
few long-term databases for these types of
systems that yields both scientific and
management value.

Notes
The Green River flows through southern
Vermont and northern Massachusetts. It is
currently not protected by any designation and
the Preservation Alliance is working on an
application for the Outstanding Resources Water
designation in Vermont. They will also seek
comparable protection in Massachusetts. Water
qualify monitoring of the river is strongly
recommended for the application.

The Pilayella Monitoring Project was designed
to monitor the amount of Pilayella littoralis, a
free-floating brown algae that creates an
unpleasant odor when it decomposes, on beaches
in Nahant Bay and Broad Sound. Volunteers
check the beaches daily for this seaweed and
report monthly to Dr. Cheney and graduate
student Verena Gross.

Part of the Plum Island Sound/Rivers MiniBay
study is the volunteer monitoring of the Plum
Island Sound/Rivers ecosystem. Volunteers are
grouped into teams; each monitoring team will
collect water samples from several sites within a
particular area. Analysis of these samples will
focus primarily on fecal coliform levels so that
contamination within the sound can be evaluated.
Funding for this program comes from theMass
Bays Program.

Wetland Watchers is a volunteer network of
concerned citizens who survey wetland sites to
record all wildlife use and habitat status.
Volunteers adopt a favorite wetland to observe
through the year, particularly during the
important breeding season, and record the
presence of birds and other wildlife. In addition,
Wetland Watchers monitor the habitat status of
theu: site and report violations of wetland
protection laws to local agencies.

Notes
Nearly 700 students from 25 classrooms have i
been involved in the Black River Project (also
known as the Port Huron River Project). The i
project was a result of a consent decree between j
Public mterest Research Group in Michigan
(PIRGIM) and Mueller Brass. Approximately
$130,000 from'the settlement was given to the
University of Michigan to establish an
environmental education program in the Port j
Huron Area School District. i
University students trained the younger students j
to do water quality monitoring. After the
monitoring was finished, a student congress was
held. Five representatives from every classroom
attended workshops and shared their data with
the rest of the students .
Data records are kept and will be compared with i
data collected next year. The results, of the ;
program are also available to the public. j

The Clinton River Watershed Volunteer
Monitoring Program combines aspects from a
number of established monitoring programs to
provide a comprehensive monitoring program
designed specifically for the Clinton River
watershed. The goals of the program are to
develop awareness among watershed residents of
the common values associated with the Clinton
River system, provide credible information on
the water quality of the system to local decision
makers, and develop opportunities for citizen
participation in river cleanup, maintenance,
restoration, and protection from further
degradation.

Notes
GREEN is an innovative, action-oriented
approach to education that uses water monitoring
to bridge classroom disciplines as well as
community members.
The GREEN o
hub of this inter
and refine progi
and educational
nice in Aim ATUUI serves as me n
•national network. They develop |
methodologies as well as
distribute information, water curricula, and
resource materials.
Presently, over 120 countries are involved in
GREEN. There are three main ways that
members communicate:
•The GREEN Newsletter. This quarterly
publication features updates on participant ;
nations, research innovations, teacher/student i
sheets, and new educational materials.
•Computer Conferencing. EcoNet, the U.S. node
of the Association for Progressive i
Communications (APC), hosts ten GREEN i
computer conferences. EcoNet is accessed in
over 80 countries. By subscribing to EcoNet,
GREEN members in the U.S. can communicate •
with others in their watershed as well as with
others around the world.
•The GREEN Cross Cultural Partners Program.
Through this program, our office matches
schools of different cultures to enable students to
learn about each other's customs, exchange water
monitoring data, and share possible avenues for
improving their rivers.

Notes :
The Adopt- A-Stream Program provides
participants with knowledge, assistance, and
equipment to enable them to protect and restore
the local river system through a variety of
activities. Workshops and activities enable
people to learn by doing the measurements of
creek characteristics and the evaluation of creek
health. Adopters annually survey and map their
segment of the creek, usually 300 ft. The study
is the same assessment used by the Michigan
Department of Natural Resources to assess the
quality and needs of Michigan rivers. Twice a
year all locations are sampled on the same day to

Students from the Lakewood Jr. High School,
under the supervision of Ron Barch, are
currently studying and monitoring the Coldwater
River system. This project began as an
outgrowth of the student stream team program ,
sponsored by the Environmental Education
Advisory Council. Historically, the concept of
student stream monitoring has been actively
supported by W.M.E.A.C. and the Western
Michigan chapter of Trout Unlimited.
Mr. Barch's students began their monitoring
project this past September after receiving a
grant from E.E.A.C. The Coldwater River was
selected for study as it is one of the few
remaining Michigan streams able to sustain trout
and related macroinvertebrates (mayflies, caddis,
and stoneflies).
Also, the student volunteers
participating in the actual monitoring live on or
near the stream,
thus ensuring interest is genuine
and knowledge first-hand.
The first priority of the group was to map the
watershed and select monitoring sites. This task
was accomplished early in September with water
sampling locations designated on Tyler and
Duck Creeks, tributaries to the Coldwater, along
with two sites on the mainstream approximately
one mile apart.
Students record and study seven parameters:
weather conditions, water clarity, stream bottom
type, pH, temperature, velocity, and biotic index

Notes
The Stream Teams of Kent County has received
foundation funding that enabled the organization
to grow from a loose confederation of 10 teams
to 35 active teams. Monitoring is performed
quarterly, although several teams perform testing
on a more frequent basis.
The group is initiating a data base to be shared
with local environmental groups and a large
university. They have made contacts with the
Michigan DNR Division of Surface Water
Quality and the Health Department to initiate a
data-sharing program.
The goal of the program is to have 75 teams in
schools in the county by the end of the 93-94
school year. An additional goal is to gain
ongoing foundation funding or institutional
adoption of the project.

The West Michigan Environmental Action
Council's Adopt- A-Stream Program began in
1991 with startup funding from the Michigan
Department of Natural Resources and the Frey
Foundation of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The
program focuses on adult community, civic,
church, and outdoor sporting groups. Also
included are active middle and high school
students with strong leadership from teachers.
Interested organizations and school groups are
turning their environmental concern about
pollution and erosion into real action through the
Adopt- A-Stream Program. Groups make a
difference by conducting streambank cleanups,
sampling stream insects, inventorying stream
corridor conditions, and performing stream
enhancement projects such as bank stabilization
and wildlife habitat improvements.

Notes
The Cannon River Watch began in 1992
primarily as an educational experience for school
students. Teachers have attended three training
sessions on testing technique, class logistics, and
potential curriculum applications. Four area
schools have either added water quality
monitoring or have modified existing programs
to meet criteria of the Cannon River Watch. It is
expected that the program will be expanded and
standardized as interest and funding become
available. As materials on macroinvertebrate
indicators are developed for this area, there will
be more emphasis on this aspect of the program.

The Citizen Lake Monitoring Program (CLMP)
was initiated in 1973 at the University of
Minnesota's Limnological Research Center by
Dr. Joe Shapiro and originally included 74 lakes.
This program involves the voluntary
participation of citizens residing on lakes or
hose who are frequent lake users. The
jarticipants are asked to take weekly
ransparency measurements throughout the
summer months. Data from this program are
extremely valuable to those interested in
assessing lake water quality or performing trend
analyses. For many lakes, this is the only water
quality information available. Data from the
CLMP are entered into the US EPA's water
quality database (called STORET). An annual
report is sent to all volunteers and any other
interested parties.

The Forest Lake Watershed Management
Organization (FLWMO) was formed in 1982 by
joint powers agreement between the City of
Forest Lake and the Towns of New Scandia and
Forest Lake. In the process of preparing a
watershed management plan, it was determined
that addditional information on the quality of
area lakes was necessary in order to properly
establish goals and objectives. An intensive
watershed monitoring program was conducted by
Wenck and Associates. During and following
this study volunteers of the FLWMO have been
collecting runoff and lake samples for chemical
analysis. A nutrient and water budget was
prepared for setting in-lake phosphorus, Secchi,
and chlorophyll goals. Ongoing monitoring is
conducted by volunteers to measure progress in
the watershed management activities.
In 1989 a study of surface and groundwater
interaction was conducted using stable isotopes
of oxygen and hydrogen. This study provided
information on the lake hydrologic budget that
has made the group rethink their protection
program. Volunteers were used in this study,
along with staff of the University of Minnesota.

The Lake Assessment Program is a cooperative
lake study involving Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA) staff and local citizens.
It was initiated in 1985 as a pilot program to fill
the gaps between the Citizen Lake Monitoring
Program, and intensive studies done by MPCA
involvement is the principal focus of the Lake
Assessment Program. Citizens participate in
sampling, watershed and lake review, defining
the lake's history, and water quality. The
program provides valuable information for the
local citizens, MPCA, and others interested in
protecting or improving the quality of a lake.

Notes
The Adopt-a-River program has as its mission
"to empower Minnesotans to become stewards of
Minnesota rivers." Adopting groups registers for
a specific portion of the river and agree to visit
and clean that site at leas once a y
consecutive seasons.
Those who have "adopted" a portion of river
secome eligible to be networked with other
concerned people who can combine efforts to
prevent the continued proliferation of rubbish in
and along the river. The program therefore
stresses learning, by personal observation, how
nonpoint pollution is affecting our rivers.
The program offers free rubbish bags, gloves, a
cleanup-reporting system,' a newsletter, and
recognition in the form of a certificate of
commendation from the Governor and
Commissioner. .
This program is designed to get the general
population involved in river preservation in a
most tangible way, and then to continue their
interest by addressing related nonpoint pollution
problems.

The St. Croix Watershed Research Station's
(SCWRS) volunteer program had a humble
beginning in 1989 with one volunteer collecting
and preserving plants. After three years, the
program has grown to include 18 volunteers.
Volunteers play a key role in the success of
SCWRS. The volunteer Trail Walkers are an
important cog in the mechanism of SCWRS.
Their observations assist in everything from land
management to phenology. Volunteers have
braved woodticks and mosquitoes in their search j
for both the common and the rare. The
phonological data that are collected contribute to j
an important SCWRS database that will support \
field research in various ways, guiding j
investigators to known sites and providing a j
measurement of change. i

Notes
The St. Louis River Watch is a citizen-based
water quality monitoring program, administered
by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency,
which focuses on the St. Louis River (a major
tributary to Lake Superior). Students and
teachers from 16 schools cooperate in
conducting water chemistry tests and survey the
benthic macroinvertebrate community to obtain
information on water quality. Other projects
include a survey of frog populations, a youth
service learning program with the Ojibwe School
on the Fond du Lac Reservation to conduct
sediment tests, and student-produced radio
programs on public radio.
The St. Louis River has been identified as an
Area of Concern, one of 43 in the Great Lakes
region. The St. Louis River Watch is an
education arm of the Remedial Action Plan and
the Citizens Advisory Committee who are
working to reduce pollution in the St. Louis
River.

Superior Lakewatch is a way for citizens to help
scientists monitor Lake Superior's water quality.
Volunteers are boaters from Ontario, Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota who are on the water
between May and October. They use Secchi
disks to determine the transparency of the water.
The information is collected by regional
coordinators and forwarded to a university where
it is entered onto computers. The data will
enable scientists and policy makers to make
informed decisions about lake management.

The Heartland Water Watch Network is a school i
and community regional network that attempts to ;
empower all local groups to build regional water !
quality consciousness in the greater Kansas City
area. Activities planned include a newsletter, two
annual conferences, a traveling musical variety
show, and grants of testing equipment to groups. ;
,The program is just getting started, with $7,800
already contributed toward a projected annual i
budget of $56,000. The Network will work with i
the 15 Missouri Stream Teams and dozens of i
active school monitoring programs in the region.
They plan to facilitate monitoring efforts, collect
data locally, and produce independent analyses
of the collected information. \

The Stream Ecology program was developed as
part of the Henry Shaw Academy to provide
middle school students with the hands-on
opportunity to study rivers, streams, and
watersheds.
Students participate in four canoe trips, one each
season. Each canoe trip incorporates water
monitoring and aquatic field research to study
and assess the river's biological and chemical
health.
The chemical and biological data that are
collected will be submitted via computer
telecommunications to TERC (Technology
Education Research Centers), GREEN (Global
Rivers Environmental Education Network), and
the Conservation Federation of Missouri/Mo.
Department of Conservation Stream Team
Project. All data will be analyzed and compared
with other regions and databases around the
country.

Missouri Stream Team has a total of 378 groups
doing a wide variety of conservation work on all
river basins in the state. The 'Stream Team is
looking toward the future with the following
goals: (1) to create a "Stream Team Institute" to
begin a more comprehensive education/training
effort; (2) to formalize the network of existing
groups into a self-empowered association, and
(3) to focus on landowner interests more
intensively now that the "pilot stage" is over.

Notes
The Connecticut River Watch Program is a
community-based volunteer water quality
monitoring, improvement, and protection
program for the Connecticut River and its
tributaries in Vermont and New Hampshire. The
program involves volunteers in collecting high
quality, scientifically credible data on the
physical, chemical, and biological indicators of
water quality. Data are used to supply baseline
information and to initiate improvement and
maintenance projects.

Notes
The dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonta
heterodon), was placed on the Federal
Endangered Species list in 1990. The Ashuelot
River is one of only a few rivers where the
mussel is known to still exist. Unfortunately,
recent data seer
declining in this
A number of sc
ns to indicate that it is rapidly
s area.
;ientists have visited the region in
an attempt to inventory the population of the
mussel and to test possible hypotheses regarding
its decline. Keene H.S. biology students have
been asked to assist in the research.
Students form groups to test their hypotheses.
Their work measures various parameters of the
river at three different sites and they attempt to
correlate their data with population studies taken
at the same sites.
Students conduct a formal seminar to present
their data and conclusions. Funding is provided
by the Keene school district. Additional support
is given by local organizations such as the Keene
Conservation Commission, and national
organizations such as the Nature Conservancy
and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Students
also raise funds for the project by designing and
producing T-shirts publicizing the dwarf wedge
mussel and the habitat it depends on.

The Great Bay Watch was established in 1989
with a grant from NOAA. Past and current
funding has been provided by the UNH/
University of Maine Sea Grant Marine Advisory
Program, UNH Cooperative Extension, the Great
Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, the
NH Coastal Program, the UNH undesignated
gifts fund, and the Dover Conservation
Commission.
Monitoring teams take samples twice a month
from April through November. The information
gathered is reported monthly, and is maintained
in a computer database. It becomes partof the
ecological picture of the estuary and is a valuable
source of information for planners, governing
bodies, government agencies, and researchers.

Notes
The primary goal of this recently developed
program is to collect long-term stream quality
data to establish trends. These trends can be
utilized to describe and identify changes in
stream quality. Volunteers and state biologists
collaborate on both testing and evaluations of
whether water quality is improving, declining, or
remaining stable.
The monitoring process employed covers both
chemical and biological parameters. While the
chemical assessment provides information about
what could be affecting the ecosystem in either a
positive or negative way, the program's main
focus is biological assessment.
Members of the Piscataquog Watershed
Association, which includes seven New
Hampshire towns in the watershed of the
Piscataquog River, volunteer to work with three
biologists provided by the New Hampshire
Department of Environmental Services to
conduct tests on two different occasions each
spring. Early in the spring water samples are
collected from the mouth and source of each
branch of the river and evaluated in state
laboratories. Later the group collects samples of
macroinvertebrates from the river. Through the
state the diversity of samplings is evaluated and
a report written for the membership of the
watershed association. The tools and
instruments used by the group belong primarily
to the state. A generous gift from an association
member covers the costs of monitoring.

The Barnegat Bay Watch Monitoring Program
provides for ongoing monitoring of ecological
conditions in Barnegat Bay (New Jersey). The
srogram objectives include detecting episodic
habitats and water quality. Data collected by
volunteers will provide elected officials and
resource managers with information on the
health and vitality of the Barnegat Bay
ecosystem and be useful to scientists
investigating problems associated with nonpoint
source pollution,
eutrophication;
nutrient enrichment, and
the development and distribution
of nuisance algae blooms; and identification of
critical habitats. The program is also designed to
heighten public awareness and understanding
about the importance of Barnegat Bay and the
need for proper management of the resources of
the bay.
Monitoring sites have been selected throughout
the bay to include locations in all major
enibayments and at the mouths of major
tributaries. In addition to the parameters listed
(at left), volunteers are collecting information on
water depth, weather conditions, water color and
odor, algal bloom conditions, distribution and
relative abundance of submerged aquatic
vegetation, and observations of fish and wildlife
species utilizing the various habitats in the bay.

New Jersey Water Watch Program provides a
channel for positive citizen involvement with
New Jersey's water resources. Participants in the
program are encouraged to play a role in
maintaining or improving the quality of their
local waterways. Activities include litter
cleanups, water quality monitoring, canoe trips,
nature trail development, wildlife surveys, and
community education.
New Jersey Water Watch currently supports 120
groups involved in volunteer monitoring of a
variety of parameters. Sampling regimes and
parameters monitored vary from group to group.

Notes . .
The Water Quality Monitoring program of the
NY/NJ Harbor Baykeeper currently consists of
27 monitoring stations around the NY/NJ
Harbor. We are in the process of expanding the
program to 40 stations.
Testing is performed every two weeks by
approximately 80 volunteers in New York and
New Jersey. Volunteers include school groups,
civic groups, environmental groups, boaters, an
urban canoe club and local citizens. Test
findings that indicate dangerous levels are
reported immediately to the proper authorities.
All test results are stored on a computer
database. An annual report is distributed to
various local, state and federal agencies and is
available to interested parties.

Waterwatch, which is associated with a network
of water monitoring, conservation, and
environmental organizations, is a coalition of
nonprofit monitoring programs around the U.S.
and the world. Initiated in 1970 in association
with the American Littoral Society, Waterwatch

water quality and environmental information for
over 20 years.
This information has been used to educate
through the publication of books, and through
syndicated newspaper articles and numerous TV
interviews and specials. Waterwatch has also
utilized its resources to bring legal suit against
polluters on a local, national, and international
basis.
Information in the form of reports and petitions
has been used to lobby national legislation into
law from 1972 to the present. These include:
the 1972 Clean Water Act; the Wetlands Act; the
current Beach Bill (HR-12) and the reenactment
of the Clean Water Act.
Waterwatch travels to different parts of the
country, doing one-time sampling. In 1990, they
sampled from New York to Florida, along the
intercoastal waterway, taking 7,000 samples.
Waterwatch plans to travel from Scandinavia to
the Mediterranean and from China to Indonesia
gathering water samples within the next two
years.

Notes
Project del Rio is a cooperative water quality
monitoring project with high school students in
Mexico and the United States. The project is
intended to improve science skills, create an
awareness of environmental issues, promote
effective participation in community affairs, and
provide students with a sense of the importance
and complexities of international cooperation in
protecting the earth's natural environment.
The project is designed to be integrated into any
semester-long science class. Students from both
countries conduct a variety of tests to determine i
the water quality of the Rio Grande at different
school is responsible for testing the river at a
particular location. Each school shares its results
with other participating schools via a computer i
conference network, making it possible to
develop collectively a water quality profile of the ;
river in the border region. The project is by no
means limited to science education. Students are
encouraged in classroom and computer
discussions to examine the cultural, political, and
economic influences on water quality, with
particular emphasis on cultural differences in the
way natural resources are viewed and used.

Notes
In 1986, Delta Laboratories, Inc., initiated a
community-based program for monitoring water
quality. Called Adopt-A-Stream, the program
invites people who are concerned about our
nation's waterways to take an active role in
assuring their well-being. Groups supported by
local cosponsors (civic organizations or
sportsmen's clubs) agree to evaluate their
adopted waterways and take action together to
improve their lake, stream, pond, or wetland.
As of March 1992, more than 141 schools and
communities in 29 states and the District of
Columbia are participating in the
Adopt-A-Stream program. The Adopt-A-Stream
program is flexible enough to fit nearly every
school, community and waterway.
Adopt-A-Stream has developed curriculum
materials for all grade levels.

Once a week students from Freeport High
School's Marine Science classes collect water
samples. These samples are collected from the
tidal flow region connecting Woodcleft Canal to
the bay.
Woodcleft Can
developed comi
canal connects 1
•
al is one of the most highly
o Freeoort Creek, which
distributes the outflow over one of the largest
marsh complexes in Nassau County.
The students take air and water temperatures at
the site and bring water samples back to school.
These samples are analyzed by the students for i
pH, salinity, nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, carbon
dioxide, chlorine, detergents, copper, iron,
manganese, sulfates, sulfides, ammonia, i
hardness, and coliform bacteria. • :
By measuring these specific indicators of • . . ]
environmental health they hope to learn more ;
about the ecosystem and its reactions^ to human |
• activities. These results may also be used to
measure discharge compliance and water quality.

Notes
For nearly ten years the Boquet River j
Association, Inc. (BRASS) has monitored water I
quality for baseline data along 24 to 32 reaches i
of the Boquet River. Several years ago, BRASS i
began to monitor six to eight specific areas along
the neighboring /
collect water sam
in its laboratory.
With recent fund
uiaable River. Volunteers j
ing from the Lake Champlain i
Basin Program and the Clean Water Act 604(b), i
BRASS will be conducting specific in-stream, ;
multiple-episode sampling during runoff events, i
Utilizing equipment and protocols equivalent to i
those used by professionals at the mouths of all :
Lake Champlain major tributaries, BRASS ;
volunteers will hopefully contribute valuable i
data regarding in-stream phosphorus loadings
and transport.
BRASS volunteers also construct and install ;
sediment collection boxes and transport box ;
contents monthly to the lab. At the lab, sediment ;
is sieved, oven dried, and weighed. Results will j
help determine areas of sediment accumulation, i
and possible transport capacities and loading j
rates for cold water fish habitats. • j

The Coalition to Save Hempstead Harbor has
initiated a water monitoring program that
includes publicizing hotline numbers for
residents to call in the event that they observe
unusual changes in water color or clarity or other
unusual events. Water testing is performed with
the support of volunteers and other organizations
and includes an educational partnership with
high school students from a local school district
who help with sample collection and testing.
Local boat owners and members of sports fishing
groups assist in obtaining and testing midharbor
samples.

Through its Marine Program, Cornell
Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County
sponsors a Citizen Water Quality Monitoring
Program on Eastern Long Island. Marine surface
monitored for chemical and biological
parameters Stations are monitored on a monthly
(or sometimes a biweekly) schedule, 12 months a
year.
The program presently supports four separate
monitoring efforts, in four different areas, staffed
by four different sets of volunteers. These
programs have
generated much interest in the
• communities. In
addition to the Suffolk County
Marine Environmental Learning Center, various
school groups also have been active with the
monitoring programs. •
The data from these monitoring programs are
being used to supplement water quality studies
being conducted by Cornell Cooperative
Extension; to help provide baseline data for
selected harbors for the Long Island Sound and
Peconic Bay National Estuary Programs; to
provide information to local decision makers;
and for marine environmental education.

Friends of the Bay is a nonprofit environmental
watchdog group established in 1988, consisting
of 3,000 members dedicated to maintaining
water quality in Oyster Bay, Long Island.
Current activities include public education,
preventing irresponsible development,
monitoring the sewage treatment plant, and
actively participating in government
environmental planning. The volunteer water
quality monitoring program will augment these
activities by utilizing standardized methods to
establish a longterm database acceptable to all
levels of government to aid in planning,
legislative, and regulatory decisions. Financial
support will play a key role in determining the
scope of the program.

The Kingfisher Alternative Sewage Project
works to keep sewage out of the St. Lawrence
River. The group is active in the Thousand
Islands area of the river. In addition to the
group's monitoring of the river, they also inspect
waterfront sewage disposal systems and lobby
for legislation that would require onsite sewage
system inspections whenever a building permit is
needed and before a property is sold. The group
has tested approximately 800 waterfront
residences.

Notes
The federal government has deemed a 73-mile
stretch of the Upper Delaware River worthy of
special protection, designating it the Upper
Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, under
the auspices of the National Park Service.
Though there is some governmental water
quality monitoring, the Audubon Society of New
York felt the valley needed a citizen-based
volunteer water monitoring program.
The goal of this grassroots effort, which started
in 1992, is education and a heightened awareness
of water quality and conservation techniques as
well as monitoring the streams and lakes in the
The Audubon Society has joined forces with a
local "Friends of the Upper Delaware" citizen
group to recruit and train volunteer monitors, to
provide environmental outreach programs to the
community, and to administer a water
conservation education program in the schools.
Because of the wide expanse and rural nature of
the Delaware River Valley, it is hoped the New
York Audubon Water Watch Program can help
fill some gaps in current and future monitoring
programs and become a year-round, credible and
effective watchdog group that will help keep the
Delaware River clean.

The New York Citizens Statewide Lake
Assessment Program (CSLAP) monitors New
York lakes, ponds, and reservoirs for physical,
chemical, and biological parameters. Volunteers
transparency, and make visual assessments of
productivity, clarity, and aesthetics. They collect
water samples using equipment and sampling
techniques provided during onsite training and
quality control visits. The samples are field
preserved and filtered, and sent to NYS
Department of Health. Samples are analyzed for
at least water temperature, pH, conductivity, true
color, nitrate, total phosphorus, and chlorophyll
a. Most volunteers also monitor and collect
samples for rooted vegetation, phytoplankton,
zooplankton, and zebra mussels (with all species
identified by professional staff), and measure
temperature and dissolved oxygen profiles, lake
levels, and precipitation.
In 1992, CSLAP involved more than 500
volunteers at over 100 public and private lakes
statewide, ranging in size from 12 acres to
45,000 acres. All participating lake associations
are members of the NY Federation of Lake
Associations, a not-for-profit coalition based in
Cazenovia. Data are used by the state and local
communities for determining baseline trends,
lake management and watershed planning, water
quality reports and for educational purposes.
Results are communicated through annual and
five-year summary reports, newsletters, press
releases, and local and statewide lake association
meetings.

The Oatka Creek Adopt- A-Stream project came
out of the 8-year partnership between the
Eastman Kodak Company and the Rochester
School District's Benjamin Franklin High
School's Bioscience and Health Careers
Academy. The Adopt- A-Stream project is a ]
hands-on learning project for the ninth-grade
students. Through this effort, students
participate in annual testing of the Oatka Creek,
20 miles south of Rochester, New York. The !
creek supports both warm water and cold water j
fisheries and the segment that is studied is a i
unique habitat for populations of natural
breeding rainbow, brook, and brown trout.
Working with Kodak scientists, the students j
collect and analyze stream water for hardness, i
phosphates, nitrates, chlorides, ammonia, zinc, i
copper, iron, dissolved oxygen and carbon
dioxide, as well as color, turbidity, temperature,
and acidity. Sampling will continue indefinitely
to ensure that the natural breeding of the trout
continues.
The information gathered by the students is of
particular interest to members of Trout
Unlimited, who are interested in the impact of
sprawling urban developments approaching the
Oatka Creek watershed. The data are provided
to the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation as well as Trout
Unlimited and other concerned citizens groups.

Notes
The Onesquethaw Creek Water Watch was
founded in 1993 to promote conservation of the
Onesquethaw Creek and its watershed in Albany
County, NY. The program is designed to
educate the public about the unique geology and
hydrology of the Onesquethaw Creek and to
raise awareness on water quality issues. The
Onesquethaw Creek Watershed is a karst terrain,
which means that groundwater flow rates within
the watershed are high. Because the watershed
area is quickly becoming a suburb of Albany,
NY, development pressure has increased in
recent years. Onesquethaw Creek Water Watch
hopes to get community residents thinking about
a watershed approach to management.

SoundWatch is a 100% volunteer environmental
organization advocating environmentally sound
policies for the Long Island Sound. One of our
more popular programs is the Water Testing
Program. We produce a technical report at the
end of the season documenting our findings. The
report includes all dissolved oxygen, salinity and
temperature data collected in the field. The data
are collected weekly on a diurnal basis (6 a.m.
and 1 p.m.) every Saturday from May through
September. The data are collected at six
sampling stations in the Eastchester Bay and the
Hutchinson Creek, Bronx, New York.

Notes
Myers Park High School has an ecology club
called the "Student Environmental Union."
Streamwatch is one of the volunteer activities of
this group. The group does qualitative and
quantitative tests for ammonia-nitrogen,
chromate, silica, dissolved oxygen, lead,
cyanide, iron, pH, copper, chlorine, phosphate,
nitrate, sulfide, and fecal coliforms, and
biomonitoring of aquatic vertebrates and
invertebrates biweekly. If students obtain results
that are outside the range of "acceptable water
quality" they report these results to the North
Carolina Resources Commission and the
Charlotte, NC, EPA. The group concentrates on
streams that are within the Charlotte city limits.

The Surface Water Assessment Team (SWAT)
is composed of volunteers trained to make a i
general assessment of stream health. Volunteers j
identify aquatic insects, complete a stream i
survey, and take temperature, pH, and Imhoff <
cone readings. SWAT conducts preliminary . j
investigations for ordinary people concerned i
about the health of their streams. This project
educates all ages about stream ecology and seeks
to motivate citizens to become active in water I
quality protection. SWAT investigators are i
helpful to citizens seeking stream classification i
upgrades or concerned about pollution problems, i
SWAT is a project of the Clean Water Fund of ^
North Carolina, a nonprofit environmental
organization dedicated to serving the grassroots.

Notes
The Volunteer Water Information Network was
established in January 1990 through the joint
efforts of the French Broad River Foundation
and the UNC-Asheville Environmental Quality
Institute (EQI) laboratory. This volunteer-based
program monthly monitors 68 stream sites
located within the watershed of the French Broad
River. Volunteers are given training in proper
sampling techniques and are provided with
interpretation on results of all sites in the
network. This program has the unique capacity
of providing STORET-acceptable data, while
simultaneously functioning as an
education/awareness program.
The UNC-Asheville EQI is able to offer its
technical assistance in making lake and
watershed monitoring programs a success by
offering low-cost laboratory analysis as part of a
research cooperative. Because of the substantial
volunteer time, the program is able to function
on a budget of approximately $350/site/year,
while providing an extensive water quality
database for effective watershed management.
The EQI is willing to provide analytical support
to any volunteer group.
For more information, contact VWIN at the
address listed above; or the French Broad River
Foundation at 70 Woodfin PI., Ste. 327,
Asheville, NC 28801; or the Environmental

Notes
Despite the ecological, economic, and aesthetic
importance of river and stream ecosystems, the
public is largely uninformed, and thus
unconcerned, about the rich biological diversity
and unique and threatened habitats present in
rivers and streams around them. This makes it
difficult to generate the public pressure
necessary to foster effective regulations and
policies to protect aquatic resources.
Recognizing both challenge and opportunity, the
Western North Carolina Alliance (WNCA), a
grassroots environmental organization, and the
Tennesssee Valley Authority (TVA) have
collaborated on a successful project which uses
community volunteers to help conduct Index of
Biological Integrity (IBI) surveys of fish and
invertebrate diversity and assess complex land
use impacts in two western NC watersheds.
Over the past four years, WNCA has been able
to give "everyday" people a hands-on lesson in
stream ecology, inspiring many to activism. On
a shoestring budget, the project uses IBI to
prioritize future conservation efforts.

The Lake Erie Basin Tributary Biomonitoring
and College Education Network (BIONET) was
established in 1992 to accomplish longterm
stream biomonitoring, provide experiential
learning in the college curriculum, and enhance
faculty proficiency in the practice of freshwater
ecology.
The program has just started. Funding sources
are being sought to cover the estimated $1,000
annual budget. The program hopes to expand to
monitor 10 - 20 sites on tributaries to Lake Erie.

Notes
The Maumee Bay Watershed Project is an
educational component of the Lower Maumee
River Remedial Action Plan, or Maumee RAP,
administered by the Toledo Metropolitan Area
after the River Rouge Project in Detroit, is
networking with a worldwide stream monitoring
program known as GREEN - Global Rivers
Environmental Education Network. The Maumee
Bay program began with schools in the Swan
Creek Watershed in 1989. In the 1990-91 school
year, the program was expanded to include the
schools in the Ottawa River watershed. Last
year schools within the Maumee River mainstem
and the Maumee Bay watershed were added.
Participants include schools in three Ohio
counties; nearly 30 public and private schools are
represented.
The program involves teachers and their
students in a two-week water quality monitoring
program. Schools are supplied with water
quality test kits, a field manual, curriculum
guide, computer modems, and a videotape about
their watershed. The videos, which were
developed for each of the major watersheds,
detail historical and present land uses and
associated water quality problems. Teachers
have also been
able to take advantage of a unique
water quality testing course at the University of
Toledo, funded by an Ohio EPA Environmental
Education grant.

Notes
The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council
of Governments Watershed Monitoring and
Mapping Project goals are threefold. The first
goal is to increase public involvement in water
quality issues through the formation of stream
teams to monitor local watersheds. The second
goal is to obtain stream data that can be used by
the Ohio EPA to make nonpoint source
designations. Finally the group hopes to map
one of the monitored watersheds, showing the
potential sources of point and nonpoint source
pollution at a mapping scale of 1"= 2,000'.
Stream Team volunteers will collect
macroinvertebrate data from two or more
stations in their watershed. Sampling should
consistently occur at the same stations and
should be performed four times from September
to mid- June.

Notes
The Waterway Sweep Program is administered
by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources
Division of Watercraft. The program's activities
include:
and/or volunteer groups coordinate cleanup
efforts The Division provides technical
assistance and some needed materials and
supplies (i.e., trash bags, patches, certificates,
canoes). The Division encourages the local
group to take the leadership role in event
coordination, volunteer recruitment, sponsorship
recruitment, media relations, education and
awareness activities, etc.
(2) Administering the Adopt-A-Waterway
Program. This program offers volunteer groups
the opportunity to care for the waterway of their
choice at their convenience. The volunteer
group signs a contract with ODNR in which they
promise to adopt two miles of waterway for a
two-year period and conduct a minimum of two
cleanups a year. In exchange, the Division

This project is part of an EPA 319 grant: Tulsa
Urban Water Quality Improvement Project. It is
a cooperative project coordinated between two
agencies: Tulsa County Conservation District
and Tulsa County O.S.U. Cooperative Extension
Service.
training in aquatic ecology, chemistry, geology,
and monitoring methods. In return, teams of
volunteers agree to monitor selected sites once a
month through the life of the grant (September
1995). Trained volunteers are certified Master
Environmentalists, patterned after the Extension.
Master Gardener, Program.
Data collected are used by volunteers to teach
neighborhood workshops on prevention of urban
nonpoint source (NFS) pollution. Major
emphasis is on lawn and garden product abuse
and presentation of IPM alternatives that citizens
can use.
Volunteers form neighborhood watchdog teams
called Blue Thumb Brigades. Homeowners are
told that any gardener can have a green thumb,
but with NPS pollution prevention awareness
they may have a blue thumb, too.

Notes
The purpose of the Adopt- A-Stream project is to
facilitate hands-on, integrative learning on an
important issue: the condition of local streams
and the impact of urbanization. At least six
teachers and their students from elementary to
high school will participate in "adopting" a
section of stream. They will conduct biological
and physical surveys of the stream reach,
measure the stream flows, and conduct regular
monitoring of several water quality parameters
using field test kits. They will also perform a
survey of local land use activities in order to
correlate any changes in stream quality to
changes in the watershed. The information will
be recorded on data forms for use by city and
state agencies.

Notes
The Citizen Lake Watch Program was
established in 1988 by the Oregon Department of ;
Environmental Quality with funding from the
Clean Lakes Program of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (CWA Section 3 14). The j
purpose of the program is to collect reliable
water quality data, montitor long-term water
quality trends, and increase public participation
in water quality monitoring. In 1992, the
Department of Environmental Quality contracted
Portland State University to manage the j
program. Additionally, the university agreed to i
collect more detailed data on a number of i
coastal lakes and provide basic liminology ;
seminars to volunteers and the general public.
During 1992, 36 volunteers monitored 34 lakes
located in four Oregon ecoregions: Blue
Mountain, Cascade, Coast, and Willamette.
The basic monitoring program consists of
weekly measurements of Secchi depth, surface i
pH, surface water temperature, and air
temperature. In
1992, the program expanded on j
a trial basis at several lakes to include weekly i
dissolved oxygen testing at selected depths; j
monthly collection of surface phytoplankton i
samples; mapping of aquatic plant distribution; ;
and collection, identification, and quantification i
of aquatic plants.

Interested groups or citizens contact the Bureau
of Environmental Services (BBS) to receive a
Streamwalk kit and training. The kit consists of
a plastic file box containing a topographic map,
clipboard, data forms, Streamwalk schedule, and
list of phone numbers to call to report spills or
other emergencies.
Volunteers record a number of visual
observations, including vegetation, stream depth,
and stream bed composition. Data forms are sent
to the BES where they are recorded on a
computerized database. The information is also
sent to Region 10 EPA.

The Student Watershed Research Project
(SWRP) is a three-year project funded by the
National Science Foundation and local
cooperating agencies. Fourteen teachers and 500
students are presently monitoring 29 different
stream sites. Sites are monitored a minimum of
twice during the school year (fall and spring).
Data are validated through a quality assurance
program conducted through cooperating agency
laboratories. By means of computer
conferencing, students contribute their data to a
regional database and discuss findings with
cooperating scientists and students from other
schools.
The goals of the program are to:
• Promote collaboration between science
teachers and practicing scientists.
• Develop and pilot-test training and materials
for watershed monitoring.
• Develop a computer telecommunications
system for sharing between students, teachers,
and cooperating scientists.
• Develop and maintain a database of student
collected data.
• Develop and pilot-test a mechanism for
dissemination of the program.

To date, Oregon's volunteer nitrate testing
program has involved over 1,300 well owners
and close to 70 trained volunteers in a statewide
effort to map nitrate levels in well water.
Funded by an EPA 319 grant, and coordinated by
the Department of Environmental Quality, the
program just entered its second year of offering
groundwater education events and free well
water nitrate testing to citizens across the state.
A GIS map of nitrate levels in Oregon will be
produced and used in assessment of groundwater
quality in the state and design of groundwater
management and monitorkig programs.

Beginning in 1991, volunteer monitors have
participated in an ongoing atmospheric
deposition study in the Conodoguinet Creek
basin. Rain samples from eight sites
representing agricultural, forested, and urban
land use areas are collected and analyzed at the
U.S. Geological Survey laboratory for nitrogen
and triazine herbicide concentrations. The study
is a cooperative project between the Alliance for
the Chesapeake Bay, PA Department of
Environmental Resources, and the U.S.
Geological Survey and is funded by the U.S.
EPA through the Chesapeake Bay Program.

The Poconos is one of the fastest-growing
regions in Pennsylvania. Along with unplanned
and rapid growth come a host of problems
impacting on the environment.
formed in 1989 to address these issues. A
watershed approach brings together the
environmental, economic, political, and social
factors embedded in resource protection".
The Association's Streamwatch Program began
back in July of 1991. Our goals are: to educate
and involve interested residents in local water
quality issues; to develop a baseline of
information; and to continue monitoring the
current status of the Brodhead, Paradise, Pocono, "
Marshalls, and McMichaels creeks and their
tributaries.
The program currently has 75 volunteers . ,
monitoring over 90 sites on a monthly basis.
Our parameters consist of water temperature,
turbidity, and pH in addition to visual
observations. We are in the process now of
expanding into another aspect of monitoring
which focuses on the presence and quantity of
insect life in the stream (using EPA's Rapid
Bioassesssment Protocol I).
Through BWA's Streamwatch Program citizens
are finding that individuaLefforts can and do
make a difference.

The Bushkill Streamwatchers Program is
designed to allow citizens to "adopt" a portion of
a local stream and monitor it for physical and
chemical parameters based on the needs of that
local stream and its watershed. If properly
trained and permitted, a participant may also
monitor biological parameters in addition to the
standard physical and chemical parameters.
A minimum of monthly monitoring of assigned
stations is required, along with corresponding
monthly reports. More frequent monitoring is
encouraged.
Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center is
responsible for:
- Providing the equipment, training, and
technical support necessary for program
implementation.
- Collecting and compiling monitoring data for
participant and network use.
- Developing and conducting workshops and
seminars addressing specific water quality topics
and issues for participants.
- Producing an annual report/newsletter for
distribution to participants.

between EPA and local citizen conservation
groups in Delaware and Chester counties,
including the Natural Lands Trust, Girl Scouts,
Sierra Club, and local fishing and environmental
organizations. The group includes Ph.D.
biologists as well as high school teachers.
The group uses LaMotte monitoring kits to
monitor water quality on many points along the
Ridley and Crum Creeks, which drain into the
Delaware River south of Philadelphia. Core
sampling (performed at all sites) consists of
dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, and
turbidity. At about 1/4 of the sites the volunteers
also test for ammonia, alkalinity, carbon dioxide,
chloride, hardness, nitrate, phosphate, and
sulfide.
The members gather as a group on a quarterly
basis to review their monitoring and to hear
guest presentations on water quality,
volunteerism, land use, and conservation
practices.

Notes
The Lackawanna River Corridor Association's
River Watch Program, begun in 1990, monitors
the water of the Lackawanna River. The
Lackawanna is a 39.5-mile tributary to the
Susquehanna and has suffered enormously the
effect of pollution, including acid mine drainage
entering the river, sewage, urbanization, illegal
dumping, and point source discharges.
The past few years have brought about increased
awareness in the community about the river's
problems. Improvements have taken place, and
the River Watch Monitoring Program has grown
and intensified. Approximately 50 community
volunteers monitor 8 stations for dissolved
oxygen, pH, temperature, and benthic
macroinvertebrates. Recently, with the aid of an
EPA appropriation, Lackawanna River Watch
purchased a Hach PR700 Colorimeter and hired
a River Watch coordinator.
Lackawanna River Watch will continue to grow
and expand, involving students and all citizens in
creating awareness of the Lackawanna River.

The PA Bureau of State Parks Water Quality
Monitoring Program requires quarterly
monitoring of physical, chemical, and biological
parameters of a nearby stream or river. Before
participating in the program, volunteers must
undergo training provided by the Bureau. After
each monitoring session, participants record and
tabulate their data and submit the data to a state
park facilitator. Participants in this program
include high schools, colleges, and other
interested groups or individuals.
The program also has an 800 number
(800-63-PARKS).

This program is designed to provide early
warning on the spread of existing zebra mussel
populations and to describe the seasonal
population dynamics of these mussels. Sampling
is done twice a month by water users throughout
Pennsylvania. Information is reported to the
Pennsylvania DER Bureau of Water Quality
Management, which functions as a database
manager and clearinghouse in coordination with
New York, New Jersey, and Delaware Sea
Grant programs.

The Piedmont Streamwatchers Coalition
originated in the fall of 1991 as a joint effort of
the Perkiomen Valley Watershed Association
(PVWA) and the Unami Audubon Society
(UAS). The objective of this organization is to
provide appropriate authorities with early
warning of degradation of stream quality within
the Perkiomen Creek watershed. To 'accomplish
this objective, selected sites within the watershed
are monitored on a regular basis by a group of
volunteers recruited from the membership of
PVWA and UAS, as well as other environmental
groups, local schools, and the general public.
The group currently monitors six sites in the
Perkiomen Valley Watershed — one on
Perkiomen Creek, one on Swamp Creek, and
four on Unami Creek. Equipment was purchased
with funds provided by the Perkiomen Creek
Watershed Improvement Corporation.

Using funds made available by the American
Clean Waters Project, the Pocono Environmental
Education Center has established a water quality
monitoring program for the Middle Delaware
Scenic and Recreation River. The program links
education to a real-world environmental
issue — clean and healthy streams, lakes, and
rivers.
Participants evaluate the water quality of a
Delaware River site or tributary by conducting a
series of physical, chemical, and biological tests;
analyzing the results; and preparing a water
quality "report card" for the site. Results are
entered into a database for sharing with local
agencies. Information gathered by this program
is also shared with the National Park Service, the
Izaak Walton League, and the Alliance for Acid
Rain Monitoring (ALLARM).
A typical research cycle can be completed in
two full days and includes classroom, laboratory,
and field work.

The Prudence Conservancy Citizens Monitoring
Program was initiated in October 1988 to
maintain equipment, collect data, and take
samples. This was part of a University of Rhode
the atmospheric deposition and input of nitrogen
and its compounds into Narragansett Bay.
In 1991, another scientist began research to
determine levels of organic contaminants in wet
deposition. Prudence Conservancy volunteers
support this study and continue to collect
precipitation samples for nitrogen and pH
analyses.
The volunteers also conducted stream flow
gauging and water table observations to provide
data for a project to determine the available
groundwater for use as the local drinking water
source.
Marine water quality monitoring started in
September 1991 with one station in Narragansett
Bay adjacent to the weather station at the
Narragansett Bay Estuarine Reserve, also the site
of the atmospheric research projects. In 1993
four additional stations in the vicinity of
Prudence Island will be added. This project is in
support of the NBNERR long-term monitoring
program and is intended to identify status and
trends of water quality parameters.

The University of Rhode Island's Watershed
Watch Program is a statewide volunteer
monitoring program that focuses on providing
current information on water quality of surface
water resources
throughout Rhode Island,
including lakes, ponds, reservoirs, rivers, and
streams. The heart of the program consists of
biweekly measurements taken by numerous
trained volunteer monitors.
The program emphasizes watershed-scale
monitoring because the water quality of a given
water body is a reflection of the activities in the
lands and waters that surround it and lie
upstream. This program is intended to
encourage communities and shoreline residents
to understand the need to cooperatively manage
and improve the water quality of all the water
bodies within a watershed. In this way we can
ensure that Rhode Island's bays, estuaries, and
freshwater resources remain one of the state's
great assets.

The River Rescue program is a cooperative
sartnership between Citizens Bank, the
Jniversity of Rhode Island, and Rhode Island
Sea Grant. Citizens Bank funds the program and
jrovides promotional support, while URI and RI
Sea Grant provide supplemental funding and
technical expertise for the monitoring program.
Citizens Bank supports several additional
projects under the River Rescue umbrella,
including an annual bicycle ride along
Providence rivers, a road race, and a story teller
who tells stories about the rivers.
River Rescue volunteers can particpate in
several projects, including one-day river
cleanups and biological monitoring surveys,
storm drain painting events, watershed mapping
exercises, and water quality testing. During the
first year, volunteers also participated as
combined sewer overflow watchdogs.
Total petroleum hydrocarbon data were
collected biweekly from most downstream
stations in four rivers for the program's first year.

The Salt Pond Watchers are a group of
volunteers concerned with the eroding
environmental quality of the salt ponds along the
southern coast of Rhode Island. The ponds are
intensively used for summer recreational
activities and also support important recreational
and commercial fisheries for scallops, oysters,
quahogs, and soft-shell clams.
The staff of Salt Pond Watchers includes a
part-time director, a part-time editor and
demographer, and a volunteer
coordinator/trainer. Additional funding for the
program comes from contributions from local
fire districts and towns
Data collected by the program have also been
used to create policy in harbor management
planning and to change inground septic delivery
system construction standards.
Every five years volunteers conduct a shoreline
survey, and test the quality of household
drinking water wells.

Notes
The Boone Lake Association was formed in
1983 in response to the dumping of raw sewage
into Boone Lake. The association led a
successful campaign to get the municipality
responsible for the discharge to remediate
damage to the lake and improve their treatment
facility. The association now acts as a watchdog
group, monitoring five wastewater treatment
facilities. The group makes all of its findings
available to the public.
The association also sponsors debris cleanups
and monitors various physical and biological
parameters.

The Tennessee Save Our Streams Program
involves approximately 200 citizen volunteers in
activities which contribute to the preservation or
restoration of Tennessee's network of 57,000
miles of rivers and streams. Launched as a
statewide program by the Izaak Walton League
of America in 1990, Tennessee SOS coordinates
and supports the stream monitoring and water
quality education activities of approximately 70
school and community groups. It recruits and
trains volunteer monitors, maintains a water
quality database, promotes grassroots citizen
activity, and provides water quality education for
both adults and children.
Stream assessment data are provided to the
Tennessee Valley Authority and the Tennessee
Department of Environment and Conservation.

The Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA)
Teacher/Student Water Quality Monitoring
Network began in 1986 with a two-fold
objective. The primary purpose of the network is
to develop basic water aualitv data on small
streams and lakes
Limited financial
personnel to mon
the valley. Throi
; in the Tennessee Valley. 4
itor all of the water resources in
igh their studies, teachers and
students are able to develop baseline water
quality data, discover subtle changes in water
quality, and detect potential use impairments.
Teachers and students become the "eyes and
ears" in the field for water resource
professionals. The other purpose of the Network
is to incorporate water quality management
concepts into secondary school curriculum and
to instill a water quality ethic in students.
The Network is funded from appropriations
from the U.S. Congress to the TVA's Water
Resources and Ecological Monitoring Program.

Notes ;
The Adopt-A- Wetland Program (AAWP) is a i
second-year pilot effort based in Corpus Christi,
Texas, which currently is recruiting volunteers
from around the state to teach youth about the
importance of wetland conservation.
The program is supported through a cooperative
partnership between the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department,
and the Center for Coastal Studies at Texas A &
M University-Corpus Christi. Other programs,
such as Texas Natural Resource Conservation
Commission's Citizen's Monitoring and TPWD's
Aquatic Wildlife Program, tie into the AAWP,
thus providing a network effect.
Initial participants in the AAWP include school
children and other youth groups, including 4-H,
scouts, and boys and girls clubs.
The program emphasizes the ecological and
economic importance of wetlands and utilizes a
hands-on approach, including monitoring, site
surveys, and classroom activities.

Notes
The City of Sugar Land has successfully
planned and implemented a volunteer
community monitoring program in the Upper
Oyster Creek (Fort Bend County) area. The
city's decision to start the program grew out of
concerns about water quality in Oyster Creek,
which has experienced almost 40 fish kills since
1969. The immediate cause of the fish kills has
typically been determined to be low dissolved
oxygen. The program involves citizens, local
businesses, and state, local, and regional
governmental entities. Successful
implementation of the program is a result of
up-front consensus-building at all levels, strong
local citizen support, and sufficient financial and
technical assistance from local businesses.

The Colorado River Watch Network (CRWN)
began in 1988 and now encompasses 49
monitoring sites along the lower Colorado River
basin in Texas. Over 500 vounteers—citizens,
teachers, and students—monitor weekly for nine
chemical parameters. The goals of the program
are: (1) to promote hands-on education about
water quality and the environment; (2) to
complement and assist the Lower Colorado
River Authority's (LCRA) professional water
quality monitoring efforts; (3) to promote water
quality protection; and (4) to promote
environmental stewardship through community
outreach.
The LCRA supports the Network with several
activities including workshops, training, student
symposiums, quarterly data analysis and reports,
a newsletter and an annual report. The majority
of the program's funding comes from the LCRA.
LCRA was recently awarded an EPA 319(b)
grant to expand the Network. Activities to be
undertaken include: (1) develop a biological
monitoring component; (2) develop a computer
bulletin board network; (3) evaluate several
phosphate detergent bans initiated by CRWN;
and (4) assist in efforts to establish monitoring
sites in watersheds that affect the lower Colorado
River basin.
CRWN won a 1992 EPA Region 6
Environmental Excellence Award in Education.

In 1985 a local chapter of the Audubon Society
adopted the Friedrich Wilderness Park in San
Antonio, Texas. In 1986 the group began a
long-term monitoring program of the park's
avifauna.
Trained volunteers census the bird life of the
park four times per year.
The information has been used by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service to determine endangered
species status and trends. The data will also be
used by the Park for planning decisions, and by
state and federal agencies to better understand
urban impacts on native biodiversity.

Notes
The Salado Creek Preservation Committee
(SCPC) of the Salado Historical Society (SHS)
was reactivated in March of 1991 in response to
SHS concerns about creek pollution. The Texas
Natural Resource Conservation Commission and
the Brazos River Authority helped train 22
volunteers to monitor streams. Salado Creek is
now monitored at five sites every month. To
date, tests indicate very good water quality.
In addition to their stream monitoring efforts the
SCPC has helped bring leaky underground
storage tanks and leaking water pipes to the
attention of the proper authorities, resulting in
prompt action. As part of their public education
effort, the SCPC visits local schools to educate
and to recruit volunteers.

The Adopt-A-Beach, Clean Rivers, and
Lakeshore Cleanup Programs are all-volunteer
efforts initiated by the Texas General Land
Office to involve civic organizations, private
companies, schools, youth groups, and
individuals in cleaning Texas beaches and
waterways.
The objectives of the program are to raise public
awareness of the problems of beach garbage in
Texas; to educate citizens about the sources of
marine debris and beach litter; to alleviate the
problem of litter and garbage illegally dumped
on public lands and on public waters across the
state; and to generate public support for state,
national, and international actions supporting
these goals. These programs promote recycling
to keep trash out of the environment.

Notes
The Valley Water Watch Project (VWWP) is
the first year-round volunteer water monitoring
program along the Rio Grande River in the state
of Texas. The VWWP is affiliated with the
Texas Natural Resource Conservation
Commission's Texas Watch program. Training
of volunteers was begun in the summer of 1992
and the first month of testing was November
1992. There has been great interest in the
project. Currently 16 volunteers test 13 sites in '
and around Brownsville, Texas. These
volunteers represent all age groups and a variety
of backgrounds.
The city of Brownsville
provides the support staff. Funding for the test
equipment has been provided by local
businesses. The local school district and the
University of Texas at Brownsville also provide
support for the project. •.
The goals of the project are to establish a
baseline database for the resacas (old Rio Grande
meanders), the Lower Laguna Madre,, and the
Rio Grande; to provide advocacy for the entire
Rio Grande watershed through education; to
improve wildlife habitat and expand recreational
opportunities; and to raise community-wide
awareness of the natural heritage of Brownsville
and the entire Rio Grande Valley;

A River Watch Network Chapter was started at
Lake Region Union High School three years ago.
Students in two general chemistry classes
conduct water quality testing on two rivers in the j
Lake Memphremagog watershed. Lake ;
Memphremagog is a 29- mile-long lake located
mostly in Canada. The group tests the Black and
the Barton rivers, two small rivers that run
through agricultural land. Funding for this
program is provided by the local school board.

Notes
Vermont's Lay Monitoring Program, begun in
1979, has collected water quality data on 69
lakes and 35 Lake Champlain stations since its
inception. Since nutrient enrichment caused by
human activities is the primary threat to
Vermont's lake water quality, the program
emphasizes measuring water quality parameters
that relate to increased nutrient enrichment.
Baseline data are collected for chlorophyll
concentration (EPA fluorometric method), total
phosphorus, and Secchi disk transparency. The
program has one full-time staff member, one or
two summer assistants, and about 115
volunteers. Funding for the program,
approximately $26,000 yearly, comes from the
state Water Quality General Fund, and in 1992
substantial support was received from the
federally funded Lake Champlain Basin
Program. The state uses the data for resource
management decisions (data were used as the
basis for obtaining a federal grant to conduct a
watershed survey on Lake Champlain) and for
new legislation (data were used to set water
quality standards for the state). The program
publishes a biannual newsletter and an annual
report.

Central Elementary School's chapter of Save
Our Streams monitors a portion of a stream
which eventually feeds into the Chesapeake
Bay. The students collect pollution-sensitive
aquatic insects. The students then write up a
report on their findings and send it to the state.
The state is concerned about the water quality of
this stream because the students' results show it
to be poor quality. The group is working to
upgrade a sewage treatment plant and to educate
local farmers on nonpoint source pollution
control. The students' involvement in Save Our
Streams gives them a sense of real
accomplishment while teaching them to
appreciate our natural resources.

Notes
In 1985 the Virginia Citizen Monitoring
Program began with 12 volunteers monitoring 12
sites on the James River. The program now has
120 volunteers monitoring 100 sites on 10 rivers.
Monitoring is done weekly.
Data from this program are used to augment the
State Water Control Board's mid-channel
monitoring program. Citizen monitoring data are
collected at near-shore sites and provide a means
of analyzing the correlation between near-shore
and mid-channel data.
Citizens interested in monitoring learn about
water quality and naturally develop a
stewardship for their rivers. The program has
worked closely with other groups interested in
the conservation and preservation of the rivers
monitored.
Currently, funding for the program is provided
by grants from EPA Chesapeake Bay Program
and the Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality.
In 1992, for the first time, citizen monitoring
data were included as a component in Virginia's
305(b) report to Congress.

Creeks 'n Critters evolved from 4-H and from
Izaak Walton League training, as well as
Chesapeake Bay Foundation information. Each
summer there is a 1 - 3 day workshop, teaching
4-H youth about the waters of Culpeper County
and their impact on the bay. The group learns
map-reading skills, and also what kinds of plants
and animals they share their environment with.
Creeks 'n Critters is a 4-H workshop.

Eastern Earth, a club created and formed by the
students of Eastern Mennonite High School,
monitors a stretch of the North River near Mt.
Crawford, VA, using a system created by the
Save Our Streams program of the Izaak Walton
League. The program focuses on using
biological monitoring as a way of determining
the overall health of the stream. The bulk of the
program's data are collected from a survey of
macroinvertebrates that inhabit the stream.
These macroinvertebrates are gathered by using
a kick-seine net. The group then grades the
stream using the Save Our Streams method.
SOS supplies the group with nets, report forms,
thermometers, magnification boxes, and
macroinvertebrate guides, making the program
simple, inexpensive, and easy for the group to
carry out. SOS compiles the data submitted by
all of their monitors and publishes a book of
Virginia stream conditions. They also share their
data with various local, state, and federal
agencies.

about the Elizabeth River
watershed, local land uses, and river history.
They learn and conduct 10 water quality tests,
and with the results they develop a water quality
index for each test as well as a total score for
their test site.
Testing occurs at nine different sites on the
Elizabeth River at the same time on the same
day. Students share their results with each other
and compare the results obtained at their
individual test sites with those of other schools.
After obtaining a general picture of the river at
that time on that day, students identify problems
and develop projects to address those problems.
Students are volunteers working after school and
on weekends, and teachers from each school
participate and oversee the work of their student
volunteers and help develop and coordinate the
project. Testing occurs in October, January, and
April, and a student conference is held in May.
This project began organizing in February 1992,
and testing began in October 1992.

Friend of the North Fork conducts several
monitoring programs:
(1) Benthic and Water Quality Monitoring: This
five-year-old program is the most comprehensive
river monitoring program in the Commonwealth
of Virginia. Basic Hach Fish Farming Kits are
used to test for the chemical parameters. The
program plans to extend water quality research
into groundwater, to determine the extent of :
groundwater pollution in order to protect and i
maintain surface water quality. The 52 i
volunteer monitors take water quality samples, i
which are tested in the Friends' laboratory.
(2) River Trends: The Alliance for the
Chesapeake Bay River Trends program has
provided Friends with computer software and the I
initial monitor instructions and handbook for this i
program. Friends is responsible for training
monitors and keeping them supplied with
equipment.
(3) River Rangers: This is a pilot program
funded primarily by EPA. The program teaches
fourth grade students methods for testing and
protecting the water and analyzing for pollution
sources. It emphasizes the effects of the river on
the local community. The effects of the North
Fork on the Potomac River and eventually on the
Chesapeake Bay are also studied.
(4) Well Testing: A pilot program was
conducted in 1991. In June 1993 a
comprehensive well testing program was started
in an area where the pilot program had revealed
that 19 percent of wells were contaminated with
fecal coliform.

This program is still in its developing stages. It
is cosponsored by several organizations,
primarily the Virginia Museum of Natural
History at Virginia Tech and the New River
Valley Environmental Coalition. About 20
volunteers, many of them professionals in natural
resource fields, have been trained to be trainers
under the Izaak Walton League Save Our
Streams Program. These individuals give
presentations to clubs and organizations
throughout the New River Valley. Further
training is provided to groups that decide to
adopt a stream, and a trainer accompanies the
group tne iirst time tney monitor tneir stream.
Collected data are submitted to both the Museum
and the Izaak Walton League. A map will be
kept of streams that are monitored and of their
condition based on invertebrate samples. An
area is provided at the museum where stream
monitors can practice identification of aquatic
invertebrates. Materials are also available on
loan from the museum's education resource
center.

The Virginia Nongame and Endangered
Wildlife program began in 1981. Funding comes
primarily from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Pittman-Robertson funds and from sportsmen in
the form of license fees and taxes on hunting and
fishing equipment. The program has built a
network of individuals and organizations to
cooperate at the federal, state, and local levels.
Individuals belonging to civic, academic,
governmental, conservation, and education
groups across the state assist the Department in
promoting sound wildlife conservation and form
the "nongame network."
A dynamic, systematic program for conserving
nongame species begins with surveys, including
inventories and censuses. Once this information
is collected it is entered into the agency's
computerized Fish and Wildlife Information
System. The information is then used to protect
endangered species and sensitive habitats.
Volunteers conduct surveys, provide biological
observations, disseminate information, and
conduct presentations, workshops, and training
sessions.

Notes
The Save Our Streams Program is the grassroots
river monitoring and restoration program of the
Izaak Walton League of America. The project
was begun iri Maryland in 1969 and has trained
volunteers in every state.
The League runs statewide volunteer stream
monitoring programs in West Virginia and
Virginia with a total of 350 stations. Data are
used in state 305(b) reports and for assessing the
impacts of nonpoint source pollution.
IWLA chapters in 37 states use the SOS
program. Thousands of other organizations also
use SOS methods to monitor stream quality.
SOS assists other states in organizing and
running volunteer monitoring networks and has
provided assistance with monitoring network
design, creation of slide shows, resource
materials, and data management. SOS tracks
projects in all 50 states through the MONITORS
database, which includes volunteer monitoring
projects for rivers, wetlands, lakes, and estuaries.
SOS has produced a variety of
easy-to-understand booklets, factsheets, training
videos, and habitat restoration guides, as well as
an environmental curriculum for grades one
through twelve.

Notes
The Smith Mountain Lake volunteer monitoring
and public education program combines public
involvement and accurate water quality
monitoring. Many lake residents take samples of
lake water every week during the summer for
chemical analyses at Ferrum College. For the last
six years, with the support of Virginia
Environmental Endowment (1987-1989), the
Smith Mountain Lake Association (SMLA),
Ferrum College, and the State of Virginia
(1990-1992), measurements and water samples
have been taken on Smith Mountain Lake to
provide a baseline of water quality data to help
predict future water quality and provide an early
warning system for potential water pollution
problems.

The Virginia Department of Forestry Water
Quality Program does chemical and biological
monitoring to provide site-specific
measurements of forest water quality.
Monitoring is done at eight sites. Sampling
locations are selected as representative of typical
logging operations and natural resource
locations. Water quality sampling equipment is
located above and below each sampled forest
disturbance. Chemical water quality parameters
are analyzed by Consolidated Laboratory
Services in Richmond using Ion
Chromatography. Biological water quality
parameters are analyzed by VDOF using rapid
bioassessment techniques. Hydrologic flow data
are analyzed by the VDOF using modern flow
metering technology. All data are stored in a
computer database at the Virginia Department of
Forestry.

The Black River Watch Cooperative Monitoring
Project is composed of Black River shoreline
residents, fish farms, Thurston County, and the
Washington State Department of Ecology.
Citizen volunteers and members of two fish
farms that border the river monitor water quality
year-round on the river, sampling weekly during
the summer/fall season and monthly in the winter
and spring.
In 1989 the Black River, near Olympia,
experienced a massive fish kill. This event
created a strong concern among river residents
that the river was being polluted. In addition,
fish farms that discharge water from their
operations into the river felt they were unfairly
implicated in the fish kill. The Black River
Watch Cooperative Monitoring Project was
formed by shoreline residents, fish farms, and
Thurston County in order to build trust and help
citizens take an active role in assessing the health
of their river.
The main purpose of the River Watch volunteers
is to monitor and record the ambient conditions
of the Black River throughout the year and
collect baseline data. The data are provided to
local and state agencies.

Notes
In response to the need for informed, pro-active
citizenry, public and private organizations and
individuals are sponsoring the Budd
Inlet/Deschutes River Project GREEN (Global
Rivers Environmental Education Network).
Through GREEN, students and teachers
communicate with others in their own
community and around the world who are active
watershed citizens.
The study of watersheds is used as the basis for
this project. Watersheds lend themselves to
interdisciplinary studies of the social, economic,
and environmental "overlays" shaping
communities. Students from schools in the
Budd/Deschutes watershed monitor the river
system for 10 chemical water quality parameters
as well as biological and physical parameters.
Students share data and information with one
another via computer modems for a clear picture
of water quality throughout the watershed. Each
year students participate in a Student Congress
where they learn problem-solving skills, and
present resolutions for solving problems in the
watershed. Working with community members,
students then plan and implement community
service projects.

The Forest Project is a group of concerned
volunteers that monitors the timber industry, the
Forest Service, and county law. The group
monitors for watershed collapse and forest
fragmentation, land conversion, fish, plant and
animal populations, and slope failure. They also
verify that regulations are met and that necessary
permits are obtained. Volunteers also monitor
habitats pre- and post-logging.

WSU Beach Watchers have been working to
develop a bioassessment and beach profile
process that is simple enough for volunteers to
conduct yet scientific enough to produce useful
information. They currently have several
volunteers conducting quarterly beach profiles
and bioassessments, and many volunteers doing
a journal-type recording of changes on their
beaches (photos, lists of plant and animal life,
invertebrates, bluff erosion, changes noted, etc.).

Notes
The Kitsap Diving Association has been very
active in cleanups of beaches and underwater
dive sites. The group has also been instrumental
in pushing for legislation to create a system of
state marine parks for the purpose of providing
diverse recreational diving opportunities and
protecting unique marine resources in the state of
Washington. On May 7, 1993, Senate Bill
#5332 was signed into law for underwater parks
in Washington State. j
The Kitsap Diving Association works with the
Washington Scuba Alliance and the Central
Kitsap County School District.

Notes
The Nisqually River Education Project GREEN
is a water quality monitoring network through
which students safeguard the river's health.
Approximately 200 4th- to lOth-grade students
conduct monthly chemical, physical, and
biological tests, which contribute valuable data
to the Nisqually Indian Tribe's fisheries program.
Action projects through which students improve
the water quality are an important element of
NREP. Currently students are working on
restoring Yelm Creek through stream bank
revegetation, planting salmon egg tubes, and
constructing a streamside nature trail.
The Nisqually River Education Project is a
member of the Global Rivers Environmental
Education Network (GREEN). Through
GREEN, participating classes communicate via
computer networking with other students
throughout the region and the world who are also
active in GREEN.

Notes
The goal of the Sammamish River Revegetation
Project is to protect and restore the Sammamish
River, which was dredged and straightened in the
early 1960s by the Army Corps of Engineers
with the single'objective of flood protection. A
sample 0.6 miles of Sammamish River bankline
has been revegetated over the last 4 years.
Hundreds of volunteers have donated their time
to plant native riparian species. Corporate
donations and seed money from local
government were used to acquire thousands Of
trees and shrubs. The group's major efforts at
this point are monitoring the success of
plantings; cutting back competing invasive
species, such as Himalayan blackberry and reed
canary grass; and education.

Notes
Streamwalk is a simple, direct, "user-friendly"
monitoring tool designed to assess the quality
and heath of our streams. It leads the interested
citizen, student, or teacher through an
observation and notation of stream
characteristics. The data observed are recorded
quality trend database.
The Streamwalk program was instituted by
Region 10 of EPA to meet two purposes: (1) to
promote experiential learning about stream
ecology and the importance of clean water and ,
(2) to gather trend information on the health
status of streams in Washington,, Idaho, Alaska,
and Oregon.
The unique administration and implementation
process has contributed to; a response which, has
motivated over 13,000 adults and students to
take a closer look at miles of streams usually not
monitored by other programs. Various
enhancements to the basic assessment tool, such
as sharing of student findings via computer, a
stream game for kids, and a teachers manual,
have increased the attraction and excitement of
the project.

Notes
This program started in 1989 with 49 lakes and
55 volunteers. The number of lakes monitored
each year depends on the budget.
All volunteers measure Secchi depth and
temperature at their site every two weeks from
mid-May through mid-October and complete a
questionnaire on lake and watershed issues.
Some volunteers also measure dissolved oxygen
and pH.
Volunteer data are used in the state's 305(b)
report. The data are also being used for
developing a water quality standard for
phosphorus in lakes and for ranking lakes in
order of their need for eutrophication
management.
Monitoring equipment is provided by the
Department of Ecology. Volunteers provide their
own boats. The program is grant-funded,
primarily through Clean Water Act Sections 314
(Clean Lakes Program) and 205(j).

The Allegheny National Forest Program will be
initiated this year. The coordinator plans to
recruit volunteers to monitor 10 rivers in the
Allegheny National Forest. Sampling will be \
done three times a year: once in March, once in
August, and once in November. Data collected
will be available to the federal government and
to the public. The primary use of the data will be
to provide monitoring of activities such as
logging and the use of pesticides and herbicides, i
and to establish a data bank.
A similar monitoring program for the
Monongahela National Forest is planned to start
in 1994.

Notes
In April 1991 the Blue Heron Environmental
Network was established for educational and
scientific environmental preservation and
protection. Soon after, the group organized the
Back Creek River Keeper 2000 program. The ;
organization does stream monitoring on an j
eight-mile stretch of the Back Creek River,
using the Izaak Walton League Save Our
Streams method of biological assessment as well
as chemical monitoring for contaminants, in ;
Back Creek and its tributaries. The group plans
on expanding their volunteer monitoring efforts ;
to include the entirety of the creek from the \
mouth at the Potomac River to the headwaters at :
the Virginia line, as well as ongoing wetlands
studies throughout the watershed area. A i
complete chemical analvsis is beins planned for
total evaluation

The Nicholas County Mountaineers for Rural j
Progress is a small citizens group that is i
interested, among other things, in safeguarding i
the quality of the area's surface water. Water j
from the rivers monitored serves as drinking
water for the area. The group has found that the ;
quality of the water is degraded due to coal
particles and raw sewage found in the river. j

Notes i
Since 1978, LoonWatch has been soliciting j
information on the distribution and reproductive i
success of common loons on lakes in Wisconsin, i
Each year, volunteers observe loon activity on i
one or a number of lakes of their choice during i
the ice-free season and fill out standardized lake i
monitoring forms, which are returned to i
LoonWatch. An annual report summarizing the
year's data is produced and sent to all ;
participants. Every five years, 225 pre-selected i
lakes are surveyed for loons during a one-day j
count. The five-year-interval survey allows j
LoonWatch to make an estimate of the statewide |
population and determine trends in tne size of the •
population. The annual survey provides more j
comprehensive information on individual lakes, i
which is useful in recommendations for
protective actions. In 1989, LoonWatch was
expanded to include Minnesota. LoonWatch
assists in an annual non-random survey j
coordinated by
the MNDNR and coordinates
volunteers for a periodic population monitoring
program in MN. Volunteers in two states also
assist in education programming.

Notes
The Bill Cook Chapter of the Izaak Walton
League has an ongoing stream improvement
project on the Tomorrow River in Portage
County, Wisconsin. The project consists of
instream habitat and bank cover work. Over the
years the stream has become very wide and
shallow. The main objective of the group is to
narrow the stream and increase the flow of water.
They also put in structures for fish habitat. :

Notes
Residents of Southeastern Wisconsin face a
major environmental problem involving the
Milwaukee River watershed. A consortium of
public and private organizations have jointly
developed and are executing a comprehensive
pilot program dedicated to educating teachers
and students in grades 9-12 about local surface
water, groundwater, nonpoint source pollution,
and pollution abatement issues.
Currently, 36 high school classes are monitoring
streams in the Milwaukee River watershed for 10
water quality parameters. Each class is
responsible for monitoring an area of the river
close to their school. The data collected are
entered into a computer database.
Organizations involved in this venture include:
Riveredge Nature Center, Department of Natural
Resources, Milwaukee River Priority Watershed
Program, Milwaukee County Extension, Schlitz
Audubon Center, Havenwoods Environmental
Awareness Center, Wehr Nature
Center/Extension, and the Milwaukee
Metropolitan Sewage District.
Funding for the program comes from a
Department of Natural Resources Local
Assistance Grant for Nonpoint Pollution, the
Milwaukee Foundation, and the Miller Brewing
Company.

Notes
The Self-Help Lake Monitoring Program is the
result of a partnership between involved citizens
and the Wisconsin DNR inaugurated in 1986.
Over 500 volunteers participate statewide.
water quality of a lake changes over time by
measuring water clarity with a Secchi disc. This
simple procedure can provide a "pulse" on the
health of a lake, crucial for long-range planning.
After participating in the Self-Help program for
one year, a volunteer may choose to take on
additional responsibility by becoming a Trophic
Status Index (TSI) volunteer. TSI volunteers
collect data on water temperature, phosphorus,
and chlorophyll in addition to Secchi depth. This
information is then used to determine the trophic
state of the lake. A small group of Expanded
Self-Help volunteers measure all the TSI
parameters, plus dissolved oxygen.
In 1992, the Self-Help Lake Monitoring
Program added a zebra mussel monitoring
program. Volunteers now monitor over 60 lake
stations and over 60 river stations for zebra
A Eurasian Milfoil Watch program will be .
added in 1994.
