ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Chesapeake Bay Liaison Office Monitoring Program Staff would like to acknowledge
the many contributors of information to the Monitoring Atlas, without whose cooperation
the Atlas would have been much less complete and more difficult to compile. We would
also like to acknowledge the Monitoring Subcommittee Members and their alternates whose
efforts to obtain program documentation facilitated our job tremendously. Lastly, we
would like to recognize the many people involved with the production of the Atlas. Among
those who assisted are Patrick Wenning and Susan Vienna at Fishergate Publishing and
many members of the Computer Sciences Corporation staff, including Joni Blackwood,
Nina Fisher, Mollie Heist, Lynda Liptrap, Melanie Rippon, and Michele Watt.

INTRODUCTION
The Chesapeake Bay Basin Monitoring Program Atlas was compiled by staff from the EPA
Chesapeake Bay Liaison Office at the request of the Chesapeake Bay Program's
Monitoring Subcommittee. The Atlas builds upon the initial effort of the Monitoring
Subcommittee to bring together descriptions of ongoing monitoring programs. That
collection was published as an appendix to the 1985 State of the Chesapeake Bay Report.
The objective of the Chesapeake Bay Basin Monitoring Program Atlas is to provide a
source of information under one cover, describing current long-term environmental
monitoring programs in the Chesapeake Bay basin. Its structure reflects the interests of
program coordinators, managers and researchers in the Bay basin states but readers from
any organization should find it informative. We hope that its publication will result in
increased coordination and integration of environmental monitoing programs between
jurisdictions and across various areas of concern, and ultimately encourage the collection of
comparable monitoring data basinwide.
For the purposes of the Atlas, we have defined "long-term monitoring" as any program or
research study involving routine data collection which will be continued into the foreseeable
future. Every attempt has been made to produce a comprehensive overview of these
programs. Information is included from the entire Bay basin and covers a wide scope of
program types, ranging from water quality, living resources, toxics, and physical
processes, to air quality, acid deposition and climate monitoring programs. It is important
to note that this document is meant to provide an overview. All readers are encouraged to
contact the listed individuals or agencies for more in-depth information on specific
programs.

-------
USING THE ATLAS
ORGANIZATION
The Chesapeake Bay Basin Monitoring Program Atlas is organized by six major headings, each
representing a broad category of related programs. These headings are Water Quality, Biological
and Living Resources, Toxics, Radiological, Ecosystem Processes, and Physical Processes.
Within the major headings are subheadings further specifying and grouping the types of programs.
Under these subheadings, programs are listed in an order which roughly corresponds to their
geographic location; New York programs are typically first, followed by Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Delaware, the District of Columbia, Virginia, and West Virginia respectively.
There is no cross-referencing of programs within the Atlas. For example when an individual water
quality monitoring program includes, but does not primarily consist of, toxics monitoring of the
water column, it can be found under Water Quality and not under Toxics. Likewise, nonpoint
source programs often include collection of precipitation and other meteorological data, but they
will be listed only once under Water Quality. However, utility-sponsored monitoring programs are
listed separately under each grouping since they often cover a vast array of monitoring types.
CONTENT
For each program listed, there is a 1-2 page narrative description which includes a general account
of the program, its objectives, listings of the agencies involved and the parameters measured, a
brief enumeration of sampling techniques and frequencies, and mention of coordination efforts
with other monitoring programs. More specific information on each section of the narrative
program description is laid out on page xiv. If a program has additional stations outside the
Chesapeake Bay watershed, only those stations within the Bay basin are included in the Atlas. An
outline of the drainage basin within the context of its surrounding states is pictured in Figure 1.
Descriptions are accompanied by a station listing and map where appropriate. Station listings
include specific information about the location of each site within the Bay drainage basin. The
"CBP segment" refers to the Chesapeake Bay Program's segmentation scheme as illustrated in
Figure 2 and further detailed on page xvii. The river basins listed are shown in Figure 3. Sub-
basin notations correspond to the USGS Hydrologic Unit designations which are mapped out in
Figure 4 and described on page xx.
All information reflects program operation in the most recently available year. Readers are
encouraged to contact the listed individuals or agencies for information on historical parameters,
stations, methodologies and other elements of the program.
FUTURE UPDATES
This Atlas will be updated on a biennial basis, with the first update scheduled for 1991. An initial
supplement to the Atlas will be published in 1990. Any suggestions for changes or information
about additional programs should be sent to the attention of:

MARYLAND CHESAPEAKE BAY WATER QUALITY MONITORING
PROGRAM: MAINSTEM CHEMICAL/PHYSICAL COMPONENT
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Maryland Mainstem Component consists of a 22 station
network which is sampled 20 times per year. In addition to providing a long-term record of water
quality trends, the program is designed to provide data to annually characterize the Chesapeake
Bay. The Maryland Department of the Environment coordinates the technical program with the
complimentary mainstem program in Virginia through the EPA Chesapeake Bay Liaison Office.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To characterize present conditions, detect long-term trends in
water quality responses to management actions and increase understanding of water quality in
relationships between habitat, ecosystem processes, and living resources.

STATIONS: There are 22 stations located in the mainstem of the Chesapeake Bay from the
Susquehanna Flats to the Virginia state line off the mouth of the Potomac River.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Sample collection is conducted 20 times per year once a month
between November and February, and twice a month between March and October. Sampling
times are coordinated with Virginia's mainstem sampling program, except when weather
conditions prohibit the sampling of certain stations on schedule.
At each station the water column is profiled for temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and
pH at 0.5 meters, 1 meter, 2 meters and 3 meters. Thereafter, profiles will be taken at a minimum
of 2 meter intervals and at a depth that is closest to 1 meter above the bottom. If the change in
D.O. exceeds 1 mg/1 or if the change in conductivity equals or exceeds 1,000 micro mhos/cm over
any of the 2 meter intervals, profiles will be taken at 1 meter intervals between these two readings.
Depth and secchi depth are also recorded. Water column samples are collected with a submersible
pump. At stations where stratification occurs, samples are collected at 0.5 meters below the
surface, 1.5-2.5 meters above and below the calculated upper and lower limits of the pycnocline
respectively, and 1 meter above the bottom. At stations where no stratification is observed, water
column samples are collected 0.5 meters below the surface, 1 meter above the bottom, and at 1/3
and 2/3 the distance between the surface and bottom sample depths. At designated stations (CB1.1
and CB2.1) which have a depth of less than 6 meters and no indications of stratification, water
column samples are only collected at 0.5 meters below the surface and 1 meter above the bottom.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Sampling cruises are coordinated between the Maryland and
Virginia programs with overlapping sampling stations located at the states' boundary off of the
Potomac River (CBS.3). A quarterly field split sample program between the Maryland and
Virginia mainstem and tidal tributary monitoring program laboratories has been established.
Selected mainstem stations are also sampled regularly for phytoplankton and zooplankton as
integrated components of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Water Quality Monitoring Program.

VIRGINIA CHESAPEAKE BAY MAINSTEM WATER QUALITY
MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Virginia Chesapeake Bay Mainstem Water Quality
Monitoring Program is a 28 station network in which sampling is carried out 20 times per year.
The program is designed to provide a long-term record of water quality trends in the Chesapeake
Bay and to assist in a current assessment of the state of the Bay. The Virginia Water Control
Board coordinates this program with the complementary mainstem program in Maryland through
the EPA Chesapeake Bay Liaison Office.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To characterize present Bay conditions, detect long-term trends in
water quality responses to management actions and establish a further understanding of the
relationship between water quality and living resources.

STATIONS: There are 28 stations located throughout the Virginia portion of the mainstem
Chesapeake Bay, from the Maryland state line to the mouth of the Bay between Cape Charles and
Cape Henry.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Sample collection is conducted 20 times per year - once monthly
between October and March and twice monthly between April and September. Sampling times are
coordinated with the mainstem sampling program in Maryland, except when weather conditions
prohibit certain stations from being sampled on schedule.
At each station, the water column is profiled for temperature, conductivity, salinity and dissolved
oxygen every meter from 1 meter below the surface to 1 meter above the bottom. Measurements of
pH are taken at the surface and bottom. Secchi depth is also recorded. Water column samples are
collected with a submersible pump at 1 meter below the surface and 1 meter from the bottom at all
stations. At designated stations (CB7.4, CB7.3, CB6.4) when stratification occurs, additional
water samples are collected 1.5 meters above and below the calculated upper and lower limits of
the pycnocline respectively. When no stratification is observed at these stations, additional water
samples are collected at 1/3 and 2/3 the distance between the surface and bottom sample depths.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Sampling cruises are coordinated between the Virginia and
Maryland programs with an overlap sampling station located at the state boundary off of the
Potomac River (CB5.3). A quarterly field split sample program between the Maryland and
Virginia mainstem and tidal tributary monitoring program laboratories has been established.
Selected mainstem stations are also sampled regularly for phytoplankton, mesozooplankton, and
benthic infauna as integrated components of Virginia's Chesapeake Bay Monitoring Program.

MARYLAND CHESAPEAKE BAY WATER QUALITY MONITORING
PROGRAM: TRIBUTARY CHEMICAL/PHYSICAL COMPONENT
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Maryland Tributary Chemical /Physical Component
consists of 57 stations covering the tidal reaches of virtually every tributary in Maryland that drains
directly into the Chesapeake. All stations are sampled 12 times per year with selected stations
being sampled 20 times per year. The program is designed to establish a record of water quality
trends for Bay tributaries which can be compared with water quality conditions in the mainstem of
the Chesapeake Bay. Existing tidal monitoring programs in the Patuxent and Potomac Rivers were
brought under the umbrella of this program in 1984.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To characterize water quality conditions in the Maryland tidal
tributaries, create a record of long-term trends in water quality for these tributaries, and increase
understanding of the relationships between habitat, ecosystem processes, and living resources.

STATIONS: There are 57 stations located throughout the tidal reaches of Maryland's
Chesapeake Bay.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Samples are collected monthly throughout the year at the following
stations: WT 8.3, 8.2, 8.1, 7.1, 6.1, 4.1, 3.1, 2.1, 1.1; EE 3.0; ET 10.1, 9.1, 8.7, 7.1, 6.1, 6.2,
3.3, 2.3, 2.2, 2.1, 1.1. The remaining stations are sampled twice a month between March and
October. The latter stations include all Patuxent and Eastern Shore estuary stations, Choptank and
Chester River stations, and selected Potomac River stations.
At each station, the water column is profiled for temperature, conductivity, salinity, dissolved
oxygen, pH, and Oxidation-Reduction Potential at 0.5 meters, 1 meter, 2 meters, and 3 meters and
at 2 meter intervals to 1 meter above the bottom. Water column samples are collected by
submersible pump. At stations where two depths are sampled, the samples are taken at 0.5 meters
below the surface and 1 meter above the bottom. At stations where 4 depths are sampled and
where there is no discernable pycnocline, samples are collected at 0.5 meters below the surface,
1/3 and 2/3 of the distance between the surface and the bottom sample depths, and 1 meter above
the bottom. At stations where a pycnocline is observed, samples are collected at 0.5 meters below
the surface, at least 1.5 meters but not more than 2.5 meters, above and below the calculated upper
pycnocline boundaries, and 1 meter above the bottom. If dissolved oxygen concentrations exceed
1.0 mg/1 or if the change in conductivity exceeds 1000 micromhos/cm, physical profile readings
are taken every 1 meter in that 2 meter depth interval.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: A quarterly field split sample program between Maryland and
Virginia mainstem and tidal tributary laboratories has been established. Selected tidal tributary
stations are also sampled regularly for phytoplankton, zooplankton as integrated components of
Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Monitoring Program.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA WATER QUALITY
MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The District of Columbia Water Quality Monitoring Program
consists of a 76 station network in which water quality is monitored in the Potomac and Anacostia
rivers, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the Washington ship channel and the Tidal Basin.
Sampling is conducted on a monthly basis with the exception of selected CORE stations which are
monitored 20 times per year. In addition to ongoing water quality monitoring, the program
oversees several short-term projects and conducts an intensive survey of the District's smaller
tributaries for which a different stream is chosen annually. The monitoring of the Potomac River is
coordinated with the Maryland Department of the Environment and the Virginia Water Control
Board in conjunction with the U.S. EPA Chesapeake Bay Program and Metropolitan Washington
Council of Governments.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To characterize present water quality conditions and long-term
trends in water quality response to different control strategies in order to maintain the
environmental integrity of District waters, protect the public from potential health hazards, and
continue to use these waters as a valuable resource.

STATIONS: There are 76 stations located on the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers and other tidal
and non-tidal tributaries which drain into these rivers.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Stations are divided into three types - Abbreviated, Intercalary and
CORE. Water quality samples are collected monthly throughout the year at all the Intercalary and
CORE stations, with samples at selected CORE stations collected twice monthly from March
through October and monthly from November through February. Only in-situ physical parameters
are profiled at Abbreviated stations.
At every station, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and pH are measured at the surface
from November to March. Secchi depth is also measured. These parameters (barring Secchi
depth) are profiled at 1.0 meter intervals from April through October at all stations. At the
Abbreviated stations, only these physical parameters are monitored. At the Intercalary stations,
these physical and selected chemical parameters are monitored in samples collected at 0.5 meters
below the surface. At CORE stations, all listed chemical parameters are monitored in samples
collected at 0.5 meters below the surface.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Selected stations are regularly sampled for phytoplankton and
zooplankton as part of the District of Columbia's integrated monitoring program. A subset of these
stations are also part of the Potomac Regional Monitoring Program and the Coordinated Anacostia
Monitoring Program, a multijurisdictional monitoring program coordinated by the Metropolitan
Washington Council of Governments. CORE stations are part of the EPA's national water quality
monitoring network.

STATIONS: There are 32 stations located in the tidal reaches of Virginia's major western shore
tributaries - James, York, Pamunkey and Rappahannock rivers. Station sites are selected to
characterize the salinity and circulation regimes found in larger tributaries (tidal fresh, riverine-
estuarine transition, lower estuarine) and to determine environmental conditions in smaller rivers
flowing into these major tributaries.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Stations are sampled once a month between November and
February and twice a month between March and October. At each station, the water column is
profiled in-situ for temperature, conductivity and dissolved oxygen every 2 meters. Secchi depth
and pH are also measured. In addition, water column grab samples are collected at 1 meter below
the surface and 1 meter above the bottom. These samples are usually collected by submersible
pump, although some may be collected with a manual sampling unit.
PROGRAM INTERGRATION: A quarterly field split sample program between the Virginia
CBP participants (VIMS, DCLS, ODU, HRSD), has been established. Selected stations are also
sampled regularly for phytoplankton, mesozooplankton, and benthic infauna as integrated
components of Virginia's Chesapeake Bay Monitoring Program.

MARYLAND CHESAPEAKE BAY WATER QUALITY MONITORING
PROGRAM: RIVER INPUT COMPONENT
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Maryland River Input Component is comprised of four
stations where the river-borne load of nutrient concentrations and various pollutants entering the tidal
portions of Maryland's tributary rivers of the Chesapeake Bay is quantified. This program monitors
four major tributaries chosen to represent the range of different sources of runoff to the Bay. The
Maryland Department of the Environment and the U.S. Geological Survey, Towson Office, monitor
the Susquehanna, Paruxent and Choptank rivers. The Occoquan Watershed Monitoring Laboratory,
in conjunction with the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, monitors the Potomac
River fall line.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To establish existing conditions in the quality of runoff entering the
Bay and its tributary estuaries in order to determine improvements resulting from efforts to reduce
non-point pollution in the Chesapeake Bay from surrounding watersheds.

1 Choptank, Patuxent and Susquehanna river stations only
2 Potomac river station only
STATIONS: The four river input stations are located on the Choptank River near Greensboro, the
Susquehanna River at the Conowingo Dam, the Patuxent River at Bowie, and the Potomac River
near Chain Bridge.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Samples are collected one to four times a month, depending on the
station, and the number of storm events. Because the majority of runoff and associated pollutants is
carried by storms, this project emphasizes flow-weighted storm event sampling.
On the Susquehanna River at Conowingo Dam, cross-sectionally and depth-integrated grab samples
are collected across the well-mixed turbine outflow. During storm events, samples are taken off the
top of the spill gates in addition to the turbine outflow. OMWL collects baseflow samples on the
Potomac. MDE collects grab samples on the Patuxent, Choptank and Susquehanna Rivers. USGS
collects cross-sectionally and depth-integrated samples on each of the 4 rivers by lowering a bottom
weighted sampler to the bottom at various widths of each river. All stations, with the exception of
the Susquehanna River, are equipped with automatic sampling devices for storm event sampling.
The samplers collect up to 24 discrete samples at a single intake over any period specified by the
user. Linked to a flow meter, the sampler can be programmed to take samples at user-specified
increments of flow. As a result, flow weighted composite samples can be obtained. In addition,
regular USGS cross-sectional, depth-integrated samples and MDE grab samples are periodically
collected during storm events.
All parameters are measured on all samples (including flow weighted composite samples), with the
exception of the field parameters, chlorophyll, bacteria, and biological and chemical oxygen demand,
which are measured during each site visit only.
USGS samples are sent to their Denver Central Laboratory. USGS treats all nutrient samples with
mercuric chloride/sodium chloride ampules and chills samples to less than 4°C. Aluminum and other
metals are treated with nitric acid. Total Organic Carbon samples are shipped in glass and never
touch plastic. MDE samples are chilled to 4°C. OMWL samples are chilled and preserved with
sulfuric acid for nitrogen and phosphorus constituents if analyses are not performed immediately.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Potomac River river input station is also a component of the
MWCOG Potomac Regional Monitoring Program. In addition, each monitoring site is a part of the
USGS National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN). Split sampling is performed
between USGS and MWCOG on the Potomac River at Chain Bridge, between USGS and MDE (as
part of the Patuxent Slack River Survey) on the Patuxent River at Bowie, Maryland and between
USGS and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission on the Susquehanna River at Conowingo
Dam.

NEW YORK WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The New York Water Quality Assessment Program has recently
been developed and is performed in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey. Through this
program, 23 locations in all basins are monitored during the full sampling cycle with additional
locations monitored during intensive cyclical basin studies. For these intensive studies, major
drainage basins of the state have been divided into three groups, with each being intensively
monitored during two successive years within a six year cycle. The Susquehanna River basin has
four permanent stations and is scheduled to begin its first two year intensive monitoring in 1991.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To produce timely, definitive statements on water quality by
clustering sampling into two consecutive years. To discern trends in water quality within 15 years
through detailed, interrelated, uniformly collected information, integrating water column, bottom
sediment macroinvertebrate and fish monitoring.

PENNSYLVANIA WATER QUALITY NETWORK
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Pennsylvania Water Quality Network consists of 73
stations at which routine monthly sampling is conducted in the Chesapeake Bay basin - 69 in the
Susquehanna River Basin and four in the Potomac River Basin. Parameters have been added to
those normally evaluated at 10 stations on the lower Susquehanna River, in order to provide data
comparable to other Chesapeake Bay monitoring programs. The number of stations in the program
has recently been decreased as a result of a comprehensive review and modification of the Water
Quality Network in 1988.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To assess long and short-term water quality trends, to monitor
the progress of the Commonwealth's water quality management program, and to provide a data
base for water users and public inquiries.

indicates additional parameters at stations designated as Chesapeake Bay Program stations.

-------
STATIONS: There are 69 stations in the Pennsylvania Water Quality Network located in the
Susquehanna River Basin, and four stations in the Potomac River Basin. Additional parameters
are measured at 10 of these stations (201, 204, 206, 212, 213, 231, 240, 259, 260 and 263) in
order to make their parameters consistent with the Chesapeake Bay Program.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Sample collection is conducted monthly for all parameters. Field
sampling is carried out by six Bureau of Water Quality Management regional offices. At most
stations a measurement of stream discharge is taken at the time of sample collection. Field analysis
of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and flow may be taken at USGS gauges. Composite lab
samples are generally obtained from bridges at the mid, third, or quarter points across the
waterway depending on its size. Many samples taken are grab samples although they are
increasingly being integrated by depth. Samples obtained at the Chesapeake Bay Program stations
are integrated by depth.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Two of these water quality stations overlap with the
Susquehanna River Basin Commission's interstate water quality stations. SRBC assists in the
collection of samples at these stations (when they visit the stations on a quarterly basis) as well as
at other stations as needed.

SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASIN COMMISSION INTERSTATE
WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Susquehanna River Basin Commission Interstate Water
Quality Monitoring program samples 12 stations on the New York - Pennsylvania and the
Maryland - Pennsylvania borders for a variety of nutrients and metals. These stations, which were
sampled on a monthly basis for the first 1 1/2 years of the program, are now sampled quarterly
with an expanded lab analysis. In addition, an annual survey of all interstate streams began in
1988.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To monitor interstate streams that receive point and nonpoint
discharges which can potentially impact water quality, and to collect data for future trend
assessment.

STATIONS: There are 12 stations sampled on a quarterly basis. All stations are located near
either the New York or Maryland borders of Pennsylvania. In addition to these, 24 more stations
on these borders are sampled once a year in an attempt to cover all interstate streams in the basin.
This annual sampling is performed with the intent of sighting prospective or new water quality
problems.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: At all stations, composite samples are taken across the stream with
depth-integrated samplers. Field measurements for temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH,
conductivity, alkalinity, acidity, and free chlorine are performed. Metal samples are fixed with
nitric acid and all samples are chilled. Lab analysis is carried out by PADER.
Sampling is coordinated with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PADER)
Water Quality Program where two stations overlap. SRBC collects samples for PADER at these
stations when they perform their quarterly sampling, adding turbidity, hardness, copper, lead and
zinc to their list of parameters in order to keep PADER's data complete.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: SRBC's annual macroinvertebrate monitoring is performed
along with water quality monitoring at all stream border stations.

MONITORING PROGRAM - WATER QUALITY COMPONENT
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Philadelphia Electric Company Susquehanna River
Monitoring Program - Water Quality Component is part of a long-term environmental monitoring
study on the Susquehanna River in southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. Through it,
water quality parameters were measured twice a month from the spring through the fall in the
Conowingo Pond at three stations from 1980 to 1988 with monitoring of water temperature and
dissolved oxygen performed continuously at the Conowingo Dam. Prior to 1980, the scope of
ecological studies was greater with monitoring conducted at these three stations plus additional
stations. As of 1988 only monitoring of temperature and dissolved oxygen at Conowingo Dam
has been maintained.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To establish environmental baseline conditions in the lower
Susquehanna River and to evaluate the long-term environmental impacts of the Muddy Run
Pumped Storage Reservoir and Power Station, the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Plant and the
Conowingo Dam and Hydroelectric Station.

STATIONS: There are three sites in the vicinity of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. The
control site is 230 m upriver from the intake structure and 40 m from the west bank, the Bell Bend
indicator site is 690 m downriver from the discharge diffuser and 40 m from the west bank, and
the Bell Bend I indicator site (established in 1986) is 400 m downriver from the discharge diffuser
and 55 m from the west bank.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: River temperature and level are recorded continuously on 7-day
graphs at the Susquehanna SES Biological Laboratory 495 m upstream from the Susquehanna SES
intake structure. Sensors for both recorders are located on the river bottom within 30 m of the
bank. Depth is converted to river level above mean sea level. Flow is calculated from river level
data, and daily means of temperature and level are determined by averaging hourly values, with
maximum and minimum values tabulated.
Physicochemical data are collected at the three sites once per week from April through September
and twice per month from October through March. All samples are collected between 1200 and
1400 h. Air, surface water temperature and prevailing weather conditions are recorded, and a grab
sample and dissolved oxygen sample of surface water is taken while drifting over each site in a
boat. Samples are immediately transported to the laboratory and analyzed for turbidity, DO, total
alkalinity, pH, conductivity, sulfate and solids. Analyses are conducted within the holding time
recommended by the U.S. EPA. Aliquots of each grab sample are fixed for analyses of total and
dissolved iron.
Physicochemical data at the Susquehanna SES control site are compared to data collected since
1973 and nonparametric statistics are used to determine if 1) year-to-year changes occurred in any
parameter and 2) if the changes constitute a trend.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Monitoring Program -
Water Quality Component is one component of an ongoing ecological study of the Susquehanna
River in the vicinity of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station.

DELAWARE WATER QUALITY MONITORING NETWORK
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Delaware Water Quality Monitoring Network monitors
statewide including various rivers and creeks in the Chesapeake Bay Basin . Monitoring at these
locations may not be as frequent as in other areas of the state because sites surrounding the
waterways are not highly populated or impacted by development.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To provide data for long-term trend analyses and use attainment,
evaluation and analysis for NPDES permitting, and problem solving for nonpoint source
dischargers.
DATE INITIATED: Early 1970s with major revisions in 1983 and 1989

+++ Chesapeake Drainage System
STATIONS: There are 21 stations within the Delaware water quality network which drain into
the Chesapeake. These are located on the Choptank, Nanticoke and Pocomoke Rivers, the C&D
Canal, Broad Creek, Marshyhope Creek and in the Chesapeake Drainage System which contains
the headwaters of the Chester and Sassafras Rivers and Bohemia Creek.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Samples are collected monthly at the Chesapeake Drainage System
(112011, 112021, 112031), and at the CORE station (304021) in the Nanticoke. They are
collected quarterly in the Choptank (207011, 207021, 207031, 207041), and quarterly and
monthly June through August, in Broad Creek and the rest of the Nanticoke (307021, 307031).
Samples are taken quarterly except in the winter, November to March, in the C&D Canal
(108031), semi-annually in the Pocomoke River (313011), and annually in the Marshyhope Creek
(302011,302021).
All samples are surface grab samples collected in a stainless steel bucket. Dissolved Oxygen is
fixed in the field, metals are acidified and the samples (except DO) are chilled on ice.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: These stations which drain into the Chesapeake Bay are part of
a larger statewide monitoring network. The CORE station is one of the EPA's national water
quality monitoring sites.

VIRGINIA NORTHERN REGIONAL AMBIENT WATER
QUALITY MONITORING NETWORK
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Virginia Northern Regional Ambient Water Quality
Monitoring Network consists of approximately 57 stations located in the northern region of
Virginia. Sampling is conducted on a monthly basis at these stations with the exception of four
Potomac embayment stations where sampling is conducted twice a month from April through
September. The network is evaluated on an annual basis and the stations are changed or retired
and new stations added.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To determine water quality within the region, and to identify
short-term and long-term water quality trends. To monitor point and non-point source inputs.

STATIONS: There are currently 57 stations in this network located in the Potomac River (30),
the Rappahannock River (17), and the York River (10).
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Sampling is conducted on a monthly basis at most stations, with
the exception of four Potomac embayment and two Chesapeake Bay stations where sampling is
conducted twice a month from April through September. Weather, flow severity, temperature,
DO, pH, residual chlorine and secchi depth measurements are profiled in the field. All samples are
taken from the surface except chlorophyll samples which are taken 1 foot below the water surface.
Chesapeake Bay stations are collected 1 meter below the surface and 1 meter above the bottom.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Nineteen of the Northern Regional Water Quality Monitoring
stations (9 free flowing and 10 embayment stations) are sampled in a coordinated effort with
Maryland and Washington, D.C. and data is submitted to MWCOG as part of the Coordinated
Potomac Regional Monitoring Program. A quarterly split sample program between VWCB, MDE,
and DCRA has been established. Two of the Northern Regional Water Quality Monitoring stations
are sampled in a coordinated effort with other VWCB regions. Data is collected as part of the
Chesapeake Bay Program.

NATIONAL STREAM QUALITY ACCOUNTING
NETWORK IN PENNSYLVANIA
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN)
in Pennsylvania consists of four stations on streams draining into the Chesapeake Bay basin. All
of these are in the Susquehanna River basin. Daily records are kept of streamflow and water
quality sampling is performed on a bi-monthly or quarterly basis. The National Stream Quality
Accounting Network was established by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1973 to provide a uniform
basis for continually assessing the quality of streams in the U.S. Similar parameters are measured
and similar sampling techniques, frequency of sampling, and analytical methods are utilized at
NASQAN stations throughout the nation.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To provide a long-term record of water quality data to be used for
planning and management purposes.

STATIONS: The four NASQAN stations are located within the Susquehanna River basin in
Pennsylvania. Two of these are located on the Susquehanna River at Danville and Harrisburg, one
is located on the West Branch Susquehanna at Lewisburg, and the fourth is located on the
Raystown Branch Juniata River at Saxton.
Note: NASQAN sampling efforts on the Juniata River were transferred to the Saxton location
from a site near Newport in 1987.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Sampling is conducted on a quarterly basis at the Danville and
Lewisburg stations, and on a bi-monthly basis at the Saxton and Harrisburg stations. Depth-
integrated sampling is conducted along the stream cross-section at equal width increments in order
to accurately sample the stream's depth and cross-sectional variability. At each section the sampler
is lowered through the water column at equal transit rates. The samples are then composited in a
churn splitter.
All samples are sent to the USGS National Water-Quality Laboratory for analysis. Nutrient
samples are treated with a mercuric chloride/sodium chloride solution, and chilled to less than 4
degrees C. Aluminum and other metals are treated with nitric acid to reach a pH of less than 2.0.
Suspended Sediment analyses are performed at the USGS sediment laboratory in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The NASQAN program is a subset of the USGS Collection of
Basic Records Program.

NATIONAL STREAM QUALITY ACCOUNTING
NETWORK IN MARYLAND
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN)
in Maryland consists of three stations on streams draining into the Chesapeake Bay. The Towson,
Maryland Office of the Mid-Atlantic District samples these stations. Daily records are kept of
streamflow and water quality sampling is performed on a bi-monthly or quarterly basis depending
on the station. The National Stream Quality Accounting Network was established by the U.S.
Geological Survey in 1973 to provide a uniform basis for continually assessing the quality of
streams in the U.S. Similar parameters are measured and similar sampling techniques, frequency
of sampling, and analytical methods are utilized at NASQAN stations throughout the nation.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To determine surface-water quality trends and to account for
mass transport of constituents.

STATIONS: The three NASQAN stations located in Maryland are on the Chop tank River near
Greensboro, the Susquehanna River at the Conowingo Dam, and the Patuxent River at Bowie.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Sampling is conducted on a regular basis at all NASQAN stations
as well as during storm events. Cross-sectional and depth-integrated samples are collected
quarterly on the Choptank and bi-monthly at the other two stations. Depth-integrated sampling is
conducted along the stream cross-section at equal width increments in order to accurately sample
the stream's depth and cross-sectional variability. At each section the sampler is lowered through
the water column at equal transit rates. The samples are then composited in a chum splitter.
On the Susquehanna River at Conowingo Dam, cross-sectionally integrated grab samples are
collected across the well-mixed turbine outflow which precludes the need for depth integrated
samples. During storm events, samples are taken off the top of the spill gates in addition to the
turbine outflow.
The stations on the Choptank and the Patuxent Rivers are equipped with automatic sampling
devices which are used during storm events. These devices collect up to 24 discrete samples at a
single intake over any period specified by the user. Linked to a flow meter, the sampler can be
programmed to take samples at user specified increments of flow. As a result, flow weighted
composite samples can be obtained.
All samples are sent to the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory for analysis. Nutrient
samples are treated with a mercuric chloride/sodium chloride solution, and chilled to less than 4
degrees C. Aluminum and other metals are treated with nitric acid to reach a pH of less than 2.0.
Suspended Sediment analyses are performed at the USGS sediment laboratory in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. Total Organic Carbon samples are shipped in glass in order to prevent
contamination of the sample.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The NASQAN program is a subset of the USGS Collection of
Basic Records Program (CBR). The three Maryland NASQAN stations are monitored as a part of
the Maryland River Input Water Quality Program.

USGS STREAMFLOW GAGING STATION
NETWORK IN NEW YORK
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) maintains a network of
23 streamflow gaging stations around the state of New York within the Chesapeake Bay basin.
The data collected from this long-term streamflow gaging network represent part of the information
gathered through the National Water Data System conducted by the USGS and cooperating State
and Federal agencies in New York. In addition, since desired streamflow information cannot be
fully achieved by the number of streamflow gaging stations, USGS collects limited streamflow
data at 21 crest-stage, partial-record stations. Measurements are also made at various other
stations.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To provide basic information for hydrologic appraisals, environ-
mental impact assessments, and energy related studies.

data, together with supplemental information such as weather records, are used to compute average
daily discharges.
All stations are equipped with digital recorders for continuous records of stage, and most are
outfitted with satellite telemetry. Graphic recorders are also located at stations where ice frequently
occurs. Measurements of discharge are made with current meters using methods adopted by the
U.S. Geological Survey. Stations are visited every 6 weeks to ensure that all equipment is
working properly. At this time, partial-record stations are also visited and measurements taken.

USGS STREAMFLOW GAGING STATION
NETWORK IN PENNSYLVANIA
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) maintains a network of
88 streamflow gaging stations around the state of Pennsylvania within the Chesapeake Bay basin.
The data collected from this long-term streamflow gaging network represent part of the information
gathered through the National Water Data System conducted by the USGS and cooperating State
and Federal agencies. Since desired streamflow information cannot be achieved with this number
of streamflow gaging stations alone, the USGS also collects limited streamflow data at 95 partial-
record stations within Pennsylvania's Chesapeake Bay basin. Measurements of discharge are also
made at various other stations.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To provide basic information for hydrologic appraisals, environ-
mental impact assessments, and energy related studies.
DATE INITIATED: 1890 - 1983, (depending on station)

PARAMETERS:
Average Discharge Extremes for Current Year
Extremes for Period of Record Mean Daily Average
Extremes Outside Period of Record
STATIONS: This network consists of 88 stations located throughout the Pennsylvania portion
of the Chesapeake Bay basin. In addition to these, 95 partial-record stations are also monitored.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Data obtained at a complete-record gaging station consists of a
continuous record of stage, individual measurements of discharge throughout a range of stages,
and notations regarding factors that may affect the relationship between stage and discharge. These
data, together with supplemental information such as weather records, are used to compute average
daily discharges.
Every complete-record station is equipped with a digital recorder and most are equipped with data
collection platforms or graphic recorders. Stations are visited approximately every six weeks to
ensure that all equipment is working properly. At this time, partial-record stations are also visited
and peak-stage measurements recorded. Miscellaneous stations are visited approximately once a
year when a discharge measurement is taken for historical records.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Pennsylvania Streamflow Gaging Network is a subset of a
national program coordinated by the U.S. Geological Survey.

USGS STREAMFLOW GAGING STATION
NETWORK IN MARYLAND
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The USGS Streamflow Gaging Station Network in Maryland
consists of 66 streamflow gaging stations within the Chesapeake Bay basin. The data collected
from this long-term streamflow gaging network represent part of the information gathered through
the National Water Data System conducted by the USGS and cooperating State and Federal
agencies in Maryland.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To provide basic information for hydrologic appraisals, environ-
mental impact assessments and energy related studies.

-------
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Data obtained at a complete-record gaging station consist of a
continuous record of stage, individual measurements of discharge throughout a range of stages,
and notations regarding factors that may affect the relationship between stage and discharge. These
data, together with supplemental information such as weather records, are used to compute daily
discharges.
Continuous records of stage are obtained with analog recorders that trace continuous graphs of
stage or with digital recorders that punch stage values onto paper tapes at selected time intervals.
Measurements of discharge are made with current meters using methods adopted by the U.S.
Geological Survey. Stations are visited every 6-8 weeks to ensure that all equipment is working
properly.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Maryland Streamflow Gaging Network is a subset of a
national program coordinated by the U.S. Geological Survey. Although all of these stations are
located in Maryland, streamflow gaging stations on the Delmarva Peninsula are operated by the
Dover, Delaware Office of the Mid-Atlantic District.

SAMPLE COLLECTION: Data obtained at a complete-record gaging station consist of a
continuous record of stage, individual measurements of discharge from a range of stages and
notations of factors that may affect the relationships between stage and discharge. These
data together with supplemental information such as weather records, are used to compute average
daily discharges.
Records of stage are obtained using digital recorders and backed up with graphic analog recorders.
Measurements of discharge are made with current meters using methods adopted by the U.S.
Geological Survey. Stations are visited every five weeks to ensure that all equipment is working
properly. At this time, partial-record stations are also visited and measurements taken.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Delaware Streamflow Gaging Network is part of a
national program coordinated by the U.S. Geological Survey.

USGS STREAMFLOW GAGING STATION IN THE
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) maintains one streamflow
gaging station in the District of Columbia. The data collected from this long-term streamflow gaging
network represent part of the information gathered through the National Water Data System conducted
by the USGS and cooperating State and Federal agencies.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To provide basic information for hydrologic appraisals, environ-
mental impact assessments and energy related studies.

STATIONS: One streamflow staging station is maintained on Rock Creek at Sherrill Drive.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Data obtained at a complete-record gaging station consist of a
continuous record of stage, individual measurements of discharge throughout a range of stages and
notations regarding factors that may affect the relationship between stage and discharge. These data,
together with supplemental information such as weather records, are used to compute average daily
discharges.
A continuous record of stage is obtained with both a digital recorder and a backup graphic analog
recorder. Measurements of discharge are made with current meters using methods adopted by the
U.S. Geological Survey. The station is visited every 6-8 weeks to ensure that all equipment is
working properly.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: This streamflow gaging station is part of a national program
coordinated by the U.S. Geological Survey.

USGS STREAMFLOW GAGING STATION
NETWORK IN VIRGINIA
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Streamflow Gaging Station Network in Virginia, operated
by the USGS and the Virginia Water Control Board, consists of 101 gaging stations within the
Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay basin. The data collected from this long-term Streamflow
gaging network represent part of the information gathered through the National Water Data System
conducted by the USGS and cooperating State and Federal agencies in Virginia. In addition, since
desired Streamflow information exceeds the number of Streamflow gaging stations, USGS collects
limited Streamflow data at 47 crest-stage partial-record stations. Measurements of discharge are
also made at various other stations.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To provide basic information for hydrologic appraisals, environ-
mental impact assessments and energy related studies.

continuous record of stage, individual measurements of discharge throughout a range of stages and
notations regarding factors that may affect the relationships between stage and discharge. These
data, together with supplemental information, such as weather records, are used to compute daily
average discharges.
All stations in Virginia are equipped with digital recorders to measure stage and current meters are
used to measure discharge. Stations are visited every four to eight weeks (depending on site) to
ensure that all equipment is working properly. At this time, partial-record stations are also visited
and measurements taken.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Virginia Streamflow Gaging Network is a subset of a
national program coordinated by the U.S. Geological Survey.

USGS STREAMFLOW GAGING STATION
NETWORK IN WEST VIRGINIA
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The USGS Streamflow Gaging Station Network in West
Virginia consists of 13 Streamflow gaging stations within the Chesapeake Bay basin. Ten stations
are maintained by the USGS West Virginia District and three are maintatined by the USGS Mid-
Atlantic District. The data collected from this long-term Streamflow gaging network represent part
of the National Water Data System collected by the USGS and cooperating state and federal
agencies.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To provide basic information for hydrologic appraisals, environ-
mental impact assessments, and energy related studies.

-------
STATIONS: There are 13 stations located throughout the Chesapeake Bay drainage area in West
Virginia.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Data are obtained at 13 stations - three are maintained by the
Cumberland, Maryland office of the Mid-Atlantic District and ten are maintained by the USGS
office in West Virginia. These data consist of a continuous record of stage, individual
measurements of discharge throughout a range of stages, and notations regarding factors that may
affect the relationship between stage and discharge. It is used, together with supplemental
information such as weather records, to compute average daily discharges.
Continuous records of stage are obtained with digital recorders or by a satellite data collection
platform. Measurements of discharge are made with current meters using methods adopted by the
U.S. Geological Survey. Stations are visited approximately every 6 weeks to ensure that all
equipment is working properly.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The West Virginia Streamflow Gaging Network is a subset of
a national program coordinated by the U.S. Geological Survey.

MARYLAND OBSERVATION WELL NETWORK
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Maryland Observation Well Network was initiated in 1943 as
a cooperative program between the Maryland Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey
with the purpose of monitoring ground water levels throughout the state of Maryland. Throughout
this network, 157 wells are monitored approximately monthly. Four additional wells are equipped
with analog continuous recorders, and one well is equipped with a digital continuous recorder.
Eighteen wells are measured semi-annually.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To observe groundwater level fluctuations through time, to identify
areas of natural and stressed conditions, and to provide historical water level records for
groundwater management.

SOUTHERN MARYLAND OBSERVATION WELL NETWORK
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Southern Maryland Observation Well Network grew out of
the statewide Maryland Observation Well Network in order to expand the groundwater monitoring
program in southern Maryland. Through this network, 384 wells are monitored in the spring and
fall of each year. Selected wells have continuous water level recording devices to observe daily
changes in level due to nearby pumpage. Potentiometric surface maps of water levels in the
Magothy and Aquia formations are published annually using the fall values.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To obtain water level and pumpage data in the increasingly
populated southern Maryland area.
DATE INITIATED: 1950s

PARAMETERS:
Water Level
STATIONS: There are 384 wells located in Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Prince Georges
and St. Marys counties.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: All wells are measured on a semi-annual basis in the spring and
fall. Spring measurements are intended to indicate high water levels before the increase in
pumpage during the summer months, and fall measurements are intended to indicate low water
levels before the summer pumpage has been reduced. Selected wells have continuous water level
recording devices to observe daily changes due to nearby pumpage. These wells are visited
monthly.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Selected wells in this network are also part of the statewide
Maryland Observation Well Network.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Delaware Observation Well Network, monitored in
cooperation between the Delaware Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey,
contains five wells within the Chesapeake Bay basin and 74 wells throughout the state.
These wells are constructed in water table and artesian aquifers. Groundwater levels are
monitored every 4-6 weeks.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To characterize present conditions and long-term trends
(both natural and man-induced) in groundwater levels, and to provide background water
level data which are used to support detailed investigations of groundwater systems.
DATE INITIATED: 1957 (or later depending on well)

VIRGINIA OBSERVATION WELL NETWORK
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Virginia Observation Well Network contains 139 wells
within the Chesapeake Bay basin which are monitored either on a continuous, weekly, bimonthly,
monthly or quarterly basis. This network is designed to provide a long-term data base to determine
the general response of the hydrologic system to natural climate variations and induced stresses.
This information will be used to support proper planning and management. Water quality
monitoring may be performed from time to time but not on a regular basis.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To provide a long-term data base to help with the analysis of the
short-term records acquired in areal studies. To measure the effect of long-term ground water
withdrawals on land subsidence.

VIRGINIA LAKE MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Virginia Lake Monitoring Program is conducted at
approximately 250 significant non-federally owned public lakes in Virginia. Through it, regional
staff perform lake monitoring field surveys and compile summaries of regional lake data. In 1987
a five year cycle of lake water and sediment quality monitoring was initiated whereby significant
non-federally owned public lakes are monitored one or two times per season, at least once within
the five year cycle.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To assess trophic status and to monitor trends in the trophic
status of lakes in Virginia.

CONESTOGA HEADWATERS RURAL CLEAN WATER PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Conestoga Headwaters Rural Clean Water Program was
set up to assist in the determination of efficient and effective means of reducing and managing non-
point source pollution from farming enterprises. The monitoring strategy for this program includes
three components or monitoring phases. The first component, consisting of general monitoring on
a regional scale in the entire Conestoga headwaters region, has been completed. The second
component involves more detailed monitoring in a small watershed area of about 5.8 miles. There
are nine stations designated for this phase - five base-flow stations to be monitored on a monthly
basis and during selected storm events, three ground water stations to be monitored three times per
year and one precipitation gauge with continuous monitoring. Two of the base-flow stations also
serve as stream gauges which continuously monitor water level. This phase is scheduled to
continue through September 1989. The third component consists of intensive monitoring at two
field sites. Monitoring at one field site will continue through September 1989 and monitoring at
the second field site will continue through September 1990, with a possible extension (not as a
Rural Clean Water Program) beyond this time if funding sources are found.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To compare surface and ground water quality before and after the
implementation of agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs). Nutrient management BMPs
have been emphasized in the monitoring components.

STATIONS: There are nine stations under Component 2 in the Little Conestoga Creek small
watershed area of about 5.8 miles until September of 1989. Five of these are base-flow stations,
three are ground water stations, and one is a rain gauging station. Two of the baseflow stations
also serve as stream gauging (or continuous level recording) stations. After September 1989
(Component 3), two surface runoff stations, two precipitation gauges, and 13 groundwater
stations will continue to be monitored.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Under Component 2, water chemistry samples at the five baseflow
stations are collected monthly. Storm surface water sample collection is also conducted at two of
these stations (gauging stations) which are equipped with automated stage recorders and automatic
sampling devices. A rain gauge is located in the small watershed. Grab samples are collected at the
ground water stations three times a year.
Under Component 3, groundwater, surface runoff and precipitation will be monitored at one field
site through September 1989, and groundwater and precipitation will be monitored at the second
field site through September 1990. Groundwater is sampled monthly with water levels being
measured continuously. Precipitation is also recorded continuously.
Soil samples for nutrient analysis are collected twice a year at the small watershed area and both
field sites.

NUTRIENT CONTROL PROJECT
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Geological Survey Nutrient Contol project is
designed to determine the effects of agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) and other
innovative techniques on controlling nutrient and sediment discharges in small watersheds
underlain by non-carbonate rock. The monitoring program is structured so that results can be
compared with data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in small watersheds underlain by
carbonate rock. Sampling is conducted on a monthly basis and during selected storms at one
location in York County, and at one location in Adams County. This project was initiated as a
five-year study to end in 1990, but its fate as of spring 1989 is undetermined.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To determine the effects of BMPs on controlling nutrient and
sediment discharges in agricultural watersheds that are less than one square mile in drainage and
underlain by non-carbonate rock, and to provide information that can be compared with results
from monitoring of small watersheds underlain by carbonate rock.

Creek during selected storms to determine seasonal variations in nutrient and sediment
concentrations and discharges. At the Brush Run site, samples are collected prior to the rise of
stream stages and during the rise and recess to determine possible contributions from dry
deposition of ammonia. Soil samples are collected prior to spring applications of fertilizers and
after the harvesting of corn.

DOUBLE PIPE CREEK RURAL CLEAN WATER PROJECT WATER
QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Double Pipe Creek Rural Clean Water Project Water
Quality Monitoring Program is an agricultural Best Management Practice (BMP) implementation
program intended to promote the establishment of agricultural BMPs in order to improve water
quality in the watershed. There is one station located at the USGS Gaging Station in Big Pipe
Creek. A second station is located on a farm near Union Bridge on Little Pipe Creek. Runoff
samples are being collected prior to and after BMP installation. Monthly samples are collected as
part of the state's CORE water quality sampling program and runoff samples are collected during
approximately 12-15 runoff events per year.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To characterize base flow and runoff water quality in this highly
agricultural watershed. To determine if the agricultural BMPs implemented have had an
observable, beneficial impact on water quality.

NOMINI CREEK WATERSHED WATER QUALITY
MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Nomini Creek Watershed Water Quality Monitoring
Program is conducted at two surface runoff stations (one of which also serves as a biological
station), four groundwater stations and seven rainfall gauging stations (one of which also serves as
a weather station) in the 3700 acre Nomini Creek Watershed. Water sampling is conducted weekly
and during storm events, biological sampling is conducted every two weeks, groundwater is
sampled monthly, and rainfall and climatological data are monitored on a continuous basis.
This small, representative watershed in the Virginia coastal plain was selected for monitoring in
order to document water quality changes as a result of the implementation of Best Management
Practices (BMPs). The monitoring schedule includes an initial period of sampling to collect
baseline data, followed by the installation of BMPs and continued monitoring. These practices are
encouraged by the program through a series of incentives to area farmers, and by the
establishment of demonstration fields set up within the watershed.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To quantify water quality benefits (short- and long-term) that are
derived from BMP application in an actual watershed, and to establish a database for nonpoint
source modeling.

also the weather station) within the Nomini Creek watershed.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Continuous hydrologic data are gathered at two fully automated
runoff stations, at four pairs of groundwater stations, and at seven rainfall gauges around the
watershed. Water samples are collected for sediment and nutrient analysis weekly and at every 0.1
foot change of stage during storm runoff. Ground water samples are collected monthly. Initially,
this sampling was conducted at existing wells but, in March of 1986, four pairs of monitoring
wells were drilled for better quality assurance in groundwater sampling and to investigate the
movement of fertilizers and pesticides on a field basis.
Pesticide analysis is conducted on groundwater and surface water samples monthly and on storm
runoff samples. Precipitation and meteorological monitoring are conducted on a continuous basis.
Biological sampling is collected every two weeks from artificial substrates (polyurethane foam)
which are placed at the main sampling site in order to develop replicated protozoan communities.
Soil cores are also sampled periodically to monitor nutrient movement through the soil column.
Land use data, which includes crop, cropping practice and percent cover are recorded quarterly by
a field observer.

OWL RUN WATERSHED MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Owl Run Watershed Monitoring Program is conducted at
four surface runoff stations, various biological stations above and below each surface runoff
station, eight rainfall gauges, and one weather station in the 2800 acre watershed. Surface stations
are sampled weekly and during storm events, biological stations are sampled monthly, and rainfall
and weather are sampled on a continuous basis.
This program is designed to monitor the effect of Best Management Practices (BMPs) on the water
quality of runoff draining from dairy operations in this small watershed in Fauquier County,
Virginia. The monitoring schedule includes an initial period of sampling to collect baseline data,
followed by the installation of BMPs and continued monitoring. Installation of BMPs are
encouraged through an incentive program. Some groundwater monitoring is also conducted as a
part of this BMP effectiveness monitoring.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of animal waste BMPs in improving
the water quality of affected streams, and to establish a database for nonpoint source modeling.

nutrient analysis (baseflow) are collected weekly. Discrete sampling during wet weather is
collected at approximately every 0.2 foot change in water level. Coliforms are collected every two
weeks. Pesticide analysis is conducted on surface water samples monthly and on storm runoff
samples. Rainfall and climatological data are monitored continuously. Biological samples are
collected monthly by sampling the water for algae populations and substrates for protozoans and
other related organisms. Standardized substrates are used to allow direct comparisons between
stations. Soil cores and ground water are sampled periodically to monitor nutrient movement
through the soil column. Land use data will also be collected periodically.
Biological samples are transferred to VPI&SU and analyzed within 24 hours. Water quality
samples are stored in a refrigerated sampler at the main station until collected and frozen. Samples
from the unrefrigerated sampler at other sites are collected daily and frozen. COD is treated with
Sulfuric Acid. All samples are transferred to the Water Quality Laboratory at VPI&SU for
analyses which normally occurs 2-3 weeks later.

POTOMAC REGIONAL MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Potomac Regional Monitoring Program consists of a
network of approximately 50 stations located in the tributaries, embayments and mainstem of the
Potomac River from approximately 40 miles above the fall line at Point of Rocks to Point Lookout
at its confluence with the Chesapeake Bay. This program is conducted as a cooperative effort
between state and local governments and coordinated by the Metropolitan Washington Council of
Governments. It was established to provide water quality data which was not available after the
termination of both EPA and USGS water quality monitoring programs in the Potomac River.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To provide data on current status and long-term trends in the
water quality of the Potomac River.

STATIONS: Approximately 50 stations are located in the tributaries, embayments and mainstem
of the Potomac River from Point of Rocks to Point Lookout approximately 150 miles downstream.
Stations vary somewhat as participation in the program from year to year is voluntary.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: All stations are sampled monthly, with selected stations sampled
twice monthly from March or April through October and monthly from November through
February and certain others sampled weekly. Every effort is made to perform same day sampling
on a low slack tide schedule.
Water temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and pH are measured in the field. Samples for
laboratory analysis are taken with a bucket, bottle, submersible pump, Van-Dorn sampler or PVC
bailer between the surface and 18 inches in depth depending on the agency doing the sampling.
Certain stations, again depending on agency, are also sampled at mid-depth and 1 foot to 1 meter
above the bottom.
Split sampling is conducted at the Key Bridge (PMS-10) station between DCRA, MDE and
VWCB.
In addition to the network of grab sample stations, the Potomac monitoring program also supports
the operation of an automated sampling station located on the fall-line at Chain Bridge. This station
is operated by the OWML and provides automated storm event sampling capability which
allows for more accurate quantification of upstream pollutant loadings.
All data is compiled, computerized and stored by MWCOG as part of the Potomac Data Base.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: This program is a cooperative water quality monitoring effort
funded and maintained by participating agencies, and state and local jurisdictions.

* Parameters may vary according to agency.
STATIONS: There are approximately 42 stations located along the Anacostia River, from the
upper reaches of its tributaries to its confluence with the Potomac River. Stations vary somewhat
as participation in the program from year to year is voluntary.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Stations are sampled monthly, with selected stations sampled twice
a month from March to October. Water temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and pH are
measured in the field. Samples for lab analysis are taken with a bucket, bottle, submersible pump,
Van-Dorn sampler or PVC bailer between the surface and 18 inches in depth, depending on the
agency. Certain stations (again depending on agency) are also sampled at mid-depth and 1 foot to
1 meter above the bottom. Every effort is made to perform same day sampling.
All data is compiled, computerized and stored by MWCOG as part of the Potomac Data Base.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: This program is a cooperative water quality monitoring effort
funded and maintained by participating agencies and local jurisdictions.

CHESAPEAKE BAY CITIZEN MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Chesapeake Bay Citizen Monitoring Program was initiated
to assist managers in detecting and assessing long-term ecological trends for the near-shore habitat
of the Bay. The program has also served to demonstrate that volunteers can collect reliable water
quality data.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To augment data collected through Chesapeake Bay Program
Monitoring by providing for a significant increase in the geographic range and scope of coverage
of the overall monitoring program into important nearshore living resource habitats.
DATE INITIATED: July 1985

STATIONS: There are 15 locations on the James, 19 locations on the Patuxent, two locations
each on the Middle and the Severn, 9 locations on the Conestoga and 1 location on the Choptank.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Sampling is conducted weekly. Monitors obtain a surface water
sample with a bucket from the shore or dock, mostly on their own property. Dissolved oxygen is
determined by using a micro Winkler titration kit, pH and nitrate nitrogen are determined using a

color comparison kit, and turbidity is determined using a visual comparison kit. In addition to the
parameters listed, weather conditions and general ecological observations are recorded.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: This program is designed to augment state supported water
quality monitoring performed in Maryland and Virginia. It was previously coordinated with a
citizen's monitoring program at the Maryland Department of Natural Resources which may be
resumed in the future.

NEW YORK POINT SOURCE COMPLIANCE
MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The New York Point Source Compliance Monitoring Program
involves annual sampling at each major facility in the state, and less frequent sampling on a rotating
basis covering all facilities within a three to four year period. Municipal and industrial facilities are
handled by different units within the Department of Environmental Conservation.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To ensure compliance with State Pollution Discharge Elimination

PENNSYLVANIA POINT SOURCE INSPECTION
MONITORING PROGRAMS
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Pennsylvania Point Source Inspection Monitoring
Programs are conducted at approximately 5000 inspectable facilities, about half of which are
located in the Chesapeake Bay basin. Every effort is made to inspect every permitted facility at
least once per year, with the highest priority given to emergency situations, complaints by the
public, enforcement support and inspections associated with federal grant requirements. Once
these demands are met, routine inspections are conducted (either quarterly, semi-annually or
annually) based on volume of discharge, characteristics of discharge, uses of the receiving waters,
reliability of the facility's management and operating staff and public concern.
Reconnaissance Inspections are conducted to evaluate compliance status. Generally this involves
observation of all treatment facilities and discharges, field tests of the effluent, and collection of
grab samples. Pennsylvania's NPDES permits contain instantaneous maximum effluent limits for
nearly every parameter to provide a basis for enforcement action based on grab sample results.
Compliance Evaluation and/or Compliance Sampling Inspections are conducted on all major
dischargers (approximately 400 statewide and 119 in the Chesapeake Bay basin). These are more
detailed than reconnaissance inspection in part because they involve composite as well as grab
samples.
Performance Audit Inspections are conducted in instances where the Discharge Monitoring Report
quality assurance studies show poor performance by the discharger's laboratory. These
inspections are performed in addition to any routine inspections.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To insure facility compliance with applicable laws, rules,
regulations and permit standards, particularly effluent limitations. To build a long-term effluent
quality history as well as to determine immediate compliance.

DELAWARE POINT SOURCE COMPLIANCE
MONITORING PROGRAMS
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Delaware Point Source Compliance Monitoring Programs
involve major municipal and industrial NPDES permitted facilities. In the Compliance Sample
Inspection (CSI) a representative sample(s) of every major permittee's effluent is collected and
chemically analyzed once per year. The Reconnaissance Inspection Program involves both major
and minor facilities. Reconnaissance Inspections (RIs) are conducted every other month at major
facilities and a minimum of four times per year at minor facilities with the exception of those
facilities exclusively used for cooling water which are sampled a minimum of twice per year. The
results of both analyses are used to verify the accuracy of the permittee's self-monitoring program
and reports, gather evidence for enforcement proceedings, and determine the quantity and quality
of effluents.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To verify permittee compliance with NPDES permits and
regulations. To provide technical assistance, and improve permittee performance and data quality.
To develop and enhance enforcement information, and maintain a regulatory presence. To respond
to citizen complaints and water quality problems.

-------
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Compliance Sampling Inspections (CSIs) are conducted at each
major industrial and municipal facility once a year. Prior verbal contact is made with each facility
to arrange a mutually agreeable date for the visit. A composite sample of the permittees effluent is
collected during the inspection according to permit specifications and this sample is chemically
analyzed. All CSIs are performed in accordance with the NPDES Compliance Inspection Manual.
In addition to this, unannounced Reconnaissance Inspections (RIs) are made at each major facility
once every other month and a minimum of 4 times per year at minor facilities with the exception of
those facilities exclusively used for cooling water which are sampled a minimum of twice per year.
During the RI, the inspector performs a visual inspection of the permittee's treatment facilities,
effluents, receiving waters and collects grab samples of all discharges.
Compliance Evaluation Inspections, which do not include sampling, are used to follow up on
major and/or unresolved problems identified during a CSI (and are conducted annually at specified
municipal and wastewater treatment facility).
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Performance Audit Inspections and Diagnostic Inspections are
conducted in conjunction with CSIs, RIs and CEIs and focus on quality assurance of the
permittee's self-monitoring program.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Virginia Point Source Compliance Monitoring Program
involves various types of inspection although only one, the Virginia Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (VPDES) Permit Program, samples point source dischargers. In this program,
all major municipal and industrial dischargers are inspected once a year, minor municipal and
industrial dischargers are inspected once every other year, and small industrial and municipal
dischargers are inspected once every five years. Sampling during these inspections is conducted
on an optional basis. The major focus of this program is on technical and laboratory inspections
with sampling occurring only rarely.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To ensure that self-monitoring information is representative and
accurate and that obligations under state and federal grant agreements are met. To provide
guidance and assistance for operating plan commitments, budgeting and resource requirements.
To maintain a regulatory presence.

categorized as those with over 1 MGD of effluent, minors have between .04 and 1 MOD of
effluent and small facilities are those with between 0.001 and 0.04 MGD of effluent. Sampling
226
-------
during these inspections is conducted on an optional and very infrequent basis. Two types of
sampling may be performed; 1) a cursory inspection which usually involves collection of a grab or
24-hour composite sample, and 2) an enforcement (legal) survey of sufficient duration to evaluate
the data reported by the discharger for permit limit compliance. Most sampling inspections are of
the cursory type and there may be no direct comparisons of the results of these samples to the
permitted limitations as far as enforcement actions are concerned. The data obtained, however, are
used to assist in evaluating the acceptability of the permittee's self-monitoring data and in
determining if there is potential non-compliance with the permitted effluent limitations.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Virginia Point Source Monitoring Program also includes
Compliance Inspections, usually performed after significant violations are found, Virginia
Pollution Abatement (VPA) inspections, and No Discharge Certificate (NDC) inspections, which
are evaluations of facilities that are designed to have no discharge.

STATIONS: There are no fixed stations for this program. Random sampling is done on a
regular basis and carried out within defined segments in the upper Chesapeake Bay, and the
Nanticoke, Choptank and Potomac Rivers.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Sampling is conducted during the survey period, which ranges
from the end of March or beginning of April through June, depending on the system. Sampling
occurs at randomly selected stations within spawning reaches. In the upper Chesapeake Bay, 2-3
stations are sampled each day for four days out of the week. This area is divided into a grid and
stations are randomly selected according to their grid numbers. Likewise, on the Choptank River,
2-3 samples are collected each day for four days out of the week. The area sampled on the
Choptank River is divided into 21 sections and stations are selected based upon their river mile
number. The Potomac River is divided into seven sampling areas with 21 stations sampled weekly
(in one day), three each in the seven sampling areas. An additional shoal sample is collected in
waters 2 meters in depth at each station where striped bass larvae are found. Weekly samples are
also taken on the Nanticoke River at six random stations, with additional downstream stations
added if striped bass larvae are caught in trial tows.
At each station, the water column is profiled for temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and
pH at the surface (0.5 meters), mid-depth and the bottom. Secchi depth is also measured and
filtrations for chlorophyll are performed. Composite water quality samples are collected using a
bilge pump with attached hose to integrate over the water column.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Water quality sampling and physiochemical profiling is
performed concurrently with the ichthyoplankton sampling component of Maryland's Striped Bass
Monitoring Program.

MARYLAND CHOPTANK RIVER
SUBMERGED AQUATIC VEGETATION PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION: The Maryland Choptank River Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Program was
initiated in 1985 with the goal of revegetating areas of the Bay which historically supported
Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV). Through this program, water samples are collected and
measurements are taken at 14 stations in the Choptank River on a monthly basis between April and
September, and every other month from October through March.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To characterize current and historic SAV beds, to determine water
quality parameters necessary for regrowth and to assess planting and transplanting techniques.

STATIONS: There are 14 stations located on the Choptank River.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: All stations are surveyed on a monthly basis between April and
September and every other month from October to March. All samples are collected in areas of the
river less than 2.0 meters deep. Sediment analysis is undertaken by the use of water squeezing
techniques and dialysis on sample interstitial nutrients. Sediment grain analysis is carried out by
removing organics, washing, dispersing organic solvents, wet sieving to remove sand and
determining silts and clays into phi sizes.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Data collection is evaluated in conjunction with the
Chesapeake Bay Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Aerial Survey. In addition, determination of
water quality parameters which are necessary for the regrowth of SAV will assist in the
establishment of future water quality standards.

RHODE RIVER WATERSHED ENVIRONMENTAL
MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Rhode River Watershed Environmental Monitoring
Program is a long-term interdisciplinary landscape level study of the Rhode River, its watershed
and airshed, and is conducted by the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. Some
sampling is conducted on an event basis although most monitoring is performed on a fairly long-
term basis. The focus of this program is on the impacts of human use of the land, air and water
upon water quality and biological populations and ecosystems. Comparative studies are used to
assess the generality of results from this site to the Chesapeake region.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To distinguish the effects of weather variation from those of local
land use and air quality. Ultimately, to develop predictive models to synthesize and test our
understanding of the overall system.

STATIONS: See accompanying stations listing and map.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: A network of permanent instrumented stations for weather,
precipitation, watershed transects, stream weirs, tidal flux and water quality are distributed within
the Rhode River and its watershed. The main weather station is located near the lab and the other
that is monitored consistently is at the dock. Bulk precipitation, wet precipitation, dry deposition,
throughfall, overland flow and infiltration are sampled by event by automated machinery. Ground
water chemistry, although sampled with a rainfall event, is sampled approximately monthly.
Integrated stream water discharge samples are composited over 1 week intervals with discrete
samples taken during storm events. Tidal water quality is sampled weekly or biweekly.
Fish populations are monitored at a fish weir three times per week, accompanied by shoreline
seining which is conducted three times per year in the spring and the summer at 25 stations in order
to obtain young-of-the-year numbers, and by trawling at the end of the year. Due to ongoing crab
ecology studies, crab populations are monitored at the fish weir and through the use of
transmitters. Benthic populations are monitored at three stations. Forest bird populations are
surveyed once a year in the spring for pairs of nesting birds and this territory is mapped.
Total solar radiation and UV spectral irradiance are monitored at the main laboratory. Physical
water parameters and tidal measurements are made at the dock.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center coordinates
and synthesizes many different aspects of the program and its findings.

GUNSTON COVE ECOSYSTEM MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Gunston Cove Ecosystem Monitoring Program carried out
by George Mason University involves long-term monitoring of physical and biological
components of the ecosystem in Pohick Creek, Gunston Cove, Dogue Creek, and the adjacent
Potomac River. These studies include physical water parameters, and phytoplankton,
zooplankton, benthos, fish, bird, amphibian, reptile and mammal surveys. In conjunction with
this monitoring, Fairfax County conducts water quality monitoring in order to determine the effects
of sewage outfall from a tertiary treatment plant which empties into Gunston Cove. Sample
stations and dates are coordinated between the two programs.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To provide a description and analysis of seasonal and spatial
patterns of abundance and activity of major groups of aquatic organisms in the Gunston Cove
vicinity. To assess current ecological conditions as well as to provide long-term baseline data for
evaluating the effects of changes in land use and/or sewage treatment occurring in the future.

STATIONS: There are 13 stations located in Pohick Creek, Dogue Creek, Gunston Cove, and
the adjacent Potomac River, 25 miles downstream from the head of the tidal influence and 100
miles upstream from the mouth of the Potomac River. Bird, amphibian, reptile, and mammal
surveys are conducted in Pohick and Accotink Creek marshes.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Benthos sampling and amphibian, reptile, and mammal surveys are
conducted annually. The bird survey is conducted quarterly. All other parameters are measured
monthly from March through November, with additional spring ichthyoplankton and summer
phytoplankton sampling.
At cove stations, depth-integrated water samples are obtained at 0.3 m, mid-depth and 0.5 m above
the bottom using a submersible pump for pH, alkalinity, chlorophyll and photosynthetic activity
analyses and 100 ml are preserved in 1% Lugol's iodine for the phytoplankton analyses. At stream
stations a grab sample is used for alkalinity and pH analyses. Simultaneous profile readings of
temperature, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity are performed at 0.3 m, 1 m and at every meter
thereafter using YS1 meters. A surface sample is also collected for chlorophyll analysis and
protected from direct sunlight. Photosynthetic rate is determined on depth-integrated samples
maintained at in-situ temperature using 14C-labelled sodium bicarbonate.
Zooplankton samples are obtained by pumping known quantities of water from 0.3 m, mid-depth
and the bottom through a 73 (im mesh net. These are preserved with buffered formalin.
Ichthyoplankton samples are obtained by using a 333 |im mesh net towed for two minutes at three
depths (unless very shallow) and preserved in 5% formalin. Benthic samples are obtained using a
Ponar sampler with an opening of 23x23cm. The samples are washed in the field through a 0.35
mm mesh screen and preserved in formalin. In the laboratory they are sieved through a 0.5 mm
mesh screen. Macrophytes are collected for biomass determination by randomly placing a 0.5m x
0.5 m metal quadrat by snorkeling, which are retrieved and placed in a plastic bag for transport to
the lab. They are then dried at 85°C and weighed to the nearest mg. Fish are sampled by trawling
at stations 7,8,10, 14 and 15 with a try-net bottom trawl with a 15 foot horizontal opening, a 3/4
inch square body mesh and a 1/4 inch square cod end mesh at 2-3 miles per hour for 10 minutes.
Fish are identified, measured in length and weighed. Fish along the shoreline are sampled by
seining at 4 stations with a 45-50 foot, 4 feet high, 1/4 inch square mesh seine.
Fairfax County water quality monitoring is conducted every two weeks from April through
November and monthly from December through March at these same stations.

STATIONS: There are 22 stations located in the mainstem, 37 stations located in the tidal
tributaries and an additional nine stations within the Patapsco River (Baltimore Harbor).
SAMPLE COLLECTION: These mainstem stations are sampled every 3-5 years with the tidal
tributary stations and Baltimore harbor stations being sampled annually. At each station, three
replicated sediment samples are obtained with a Van Veen grab sampler. The top 2 centimeters
are collected from each grab sample. Samples are homogenized in the field and stored in three
glass containers. One sample is frozen and two are refrigerated. Equal portions from the triplicate
grab samples are weighed out, composited and homogenized in the laboratory just prior to
analysis.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Most of the 22 stations sampled within this program are
sampled routinely for various water quality parameters as part of the larger Maryland Chesapeake
Bay Mainstem and Tributary Water Quality Monitoring Programs.

HART-MILLER ISLAND SEDIMENT MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Hart-Miller Island Sediment Monitoring Program is
designed to continually assess the environmental effects of constructing and utilizing a diked
containment facility at Hart-Miller Island which receives bottom sediments dredged from Baltimore
Harbor and its approaches. Through this monitoring program, chemical analysis is performed on
box core and surficial sediment samples in the spring and fall of each year.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To examine metal and organic contaminants in sediments
surrounding the Hart-Miller Island Dredged Material Containment facility.

STATIONS: There are approximately 30 surficial sediment stations and seven box core stations.
Stations do change slightly from year to year. Those listed were sampled in 1986-1987.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Field sampling is conducted twice a year in the spring and the fall.
At each surficial sediment station, two grab samples of the top 8-10 cm of the sediments are
collected with a dip-galvanized Van Veen sampler, one for textural and trace metals analysis, and
one for organic contaminant analysis. Trace metal subsamples were taken several cm into the grab
and away from the sides using plastic ware. Samples for organic analyses are taken using stainless
steel or aluminum devices and stored in glass containers.
At each of the Box Core stations, one core sample is collected by use of a benthos-type gravity
corer. Visual and radiographic observations of the cores are then made.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Hart-Miller Island Sediment Monitoring Program is
coordinated by MDDNR in conjunction with the Hart-Miller Benthic Monitoring Programs. In
addition, water quality at the containment facility is monitored by the Maryland Environmental
Service.

VIRGINIA CHESAPEAKE BAY MAINSTEM SEDIMENT
MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Virginia Chesapeake Bay Mainstem Sediment Monitoring
Program was initiated in 1984 by the Virginia Water Control Board to monitor for toxic organic
components including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Surface sediment samples are
collected at eight stations every three to five years.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To establish a baseline and monitor long-term trends of toxic
organic compounds in the sediments of the Chesapeake Bay.

Principal Investigator Robert Huggett VIMS
PARAMETERS:
Compound name
Compound chemical abstract name (CAS)
Concentration of compound
Aromatic retention index
STATIONS: There are eight stations located in the Virginia mainstem Chesapeake Bay.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Sediments are collected every three to five years. Samples are
collected with a clean stainless steel Smith Maclntyre grab sampler. The top 2 cm of sediment is
transferred to glass jars which are refrigerated until they are returned to the laboratory (within eight
hours). The samples are freeze dried, soxhlet extracted with dichloromethane, fractionated by gel
permeation chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography, and analyzed by
capillary gas chromatography.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The sediment stations are a subset of the Virginia Chesapeake
Bay Mainstem Monitoring Program stations which are routinely sampled for water quality
parameters.

VIRGINIA CHESAPEAKE BAY TRIBUTARY SEDIMENT
MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Virginia Chesapeake Bay Tributary Sediment Monitoring
Program is concerned with the accumulation of toxic compounds in tributary sediments. Since the
upper reaches of the James River have been studied in other projects only two stations in the river
were incorporated in this program. Sampling was conducted in 1984 and 1985. Due to low levels
of temporal variations in the characteristics of the substances found, subsequent sampling is not
planned until 1990.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To assess the levels of potentially toxic organic compounds in the
sediments of Virginia's major tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay.

VIRGINIA KEPONE SEDIMENT MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Virginia Kepone Monitoring Program was established as a
result of the contamination of the James River and Hopewell, Virginia area by disposal and
wastewater discharges of kepone. The program was initiated to asses the magnitude of the kepone
contamination. In December 1975, the Virginia Kepone Task Force developed a comprehensive
kepone monitoring program with responsibilities divided among the Virginia Water Control Board,
the Virginia Department of Health and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. The sediment
monitoring program consists of 25 stations in the lower James River which are integrated with
groundwater and finfish kepone monitoring programs.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To detect any unexpected movement of the kepone reservoir
downstream toward the Chesapeake Bay. To evaluate the relationship between James River
dredging and disposal activities and kepone. To determine the removal or stabilization of kepone -
contaminated sediment.

MARYLAND SHELLFISH CONTAMINATION
MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Maryland's Shellfish Contamination Monitoring Program,
comprised of a network of 37 sampling stations, monitors heavy metals and pesticides in
Maryland's shellfish. Stations are selected to provide representative data in each shellfish growing
area and to reflect the effects of potential pollution sources.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To assure that toxic substance levels in oysters and clams do not
exceed acceptable levels. To identify areas of contamination as well as spatial and temporal trends
of contaminants, and to assist in identification of pollution sources. To provide baseline data on
contaminant levels in marine organisms.

STATIONS: There are 37 stations located throughout the Maryland portion of the Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries. The network has been comprised of up to 95 sites in the past. The number
274
-------
of stations sampled was reduced to the current 37 sites in the spring of 1987. Samples have not
been collected since 1987.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Sampling occurred each year in the spring and fall. Current data
indicate that this frequency may be substantially reduced. Consideration is being given to sampling
once every three years.
Composite samples from each station are comprised of 50 market-sized oysters or 60 market-sized
soft clams. Samples of shellstock are collected, scrubbed clean, shucked into one liter hexane
rinsed glass jars, and frozen for delivery to the laboratory.

VIRGINIA SHELLFISH SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Virginia Shellfish Surveillance Program consists of 41
stations which are sampled for heavy metals and/or pesticides. Sampling is conducted twice a year
in the spring and the fall, although some stations are sampled once a year in either the spring or the
fall. This program is in compliance with the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP)
guidelines.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To protect the health of consumers and to facilitate the interstate
sale of products by the Virginia shellfish and crab meat industry.

STATIONS: There are 41 stations located in the Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Thirty-three stations are visited twice per year, with the other eight
visited either in the spring (PRNB, PRCR, RRFL, YRPM), or in the fall (PRLM, PRYR, RRBR,
YRBR). Approximately 10 oysters are collected per station, although triplicate samples are
collected and analyzed at certain stations established by the FDA. Shellfish tissue (shellstock) is
analyzed for heavy metals and, at selected stations, pesticide scans are performed for
organochlorines, chlorinated hydrocarbons and Organophosphates. Four stations are analyzed for
pesticides only.

NOAA NATIONAL STATUS AND TRENDS PROGRAM -
MUSSEL WATCH PROJECT
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program makes a wide range of environmental measurements
to assess impacts of human activity on coastal and estuarine regions. The Mussel Watch project is
a component of the NS&T program in which chemical contaminants in sediments and bivalve
tissues are assessed at 150 sites nationwide. This program is similar to that originally sponsored
between 1976 and 1978 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Six Mussel Watch
stations are located in the Chesapeake Bay. Three of these were also sampled between 1976 and
1978 through the EPA program. The American oyster is the target species in the Bay. Selected
Mussel Watch samples are stored at the National Institute of Standards and Technology through the
NS&T Program's Specimen Banking project for potential future research.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To assess chemical contamination of in sediments and bivalve
tissues as a means of documenting the status and long-term changes of environmental quality in the
Bay and in coastal and estuarine environs nationwide.

STATIONS: The six Mussel Watch stations are located along the mainstem of the Chesapeake
Bay from the C & D Canal to Hampton Roads.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Samples for the Mussel Watch Program are collected annually at all
the Chesapeake Bay sites. Each site is comprised of three bivalve mollusc and three sediment
stations. Sediment collections are made as close to the bivalve collections as possible. Sediment
samples are collected with a Kynar coated modified Van Veen-type grab for chemistry and grain
size analyses. From these grabs, composite samples are made for each station and the sediment is
analyzed. Bivalve samples are obtained by dredge, sampling fork, tongs or hand collection. Three
discrete bivalve samples are taken for chemical analysis, gonadal indexing and histopathological
tests. In addition, for each site, composite samples consisting of 80 -100 individual oysters are
collected from three different stations. The composite is divided into three samples and then
shucked, with the gonadal and histopathological samples stored in Dietrich's preservative and the
chemical samples frozen on dry ice. Two additional sediment samples and 20 oysters or 36
mussels are collected at selected sites and archived through the Specimen Bank Project at NIST.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Chesapeake Bay is sampled as part of a nationwide
sampling program which includes 150 Mussel Watch sites.

PENNSYLVANIA FISH TISSUE SAMPLING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Pennsylvania Fish Tissue Sampling Program is designed to
supplement data obtained through the water quality network on the condition of Pennsylvania's
waterways. Through it, approximately 30 fish tissue samples are collected at fixed water quality
stations each year throughout the state. Stations are rotated each year with the goal of covering the
state over a period of years (approximately five) and then restarting the rotation. Routine sampling
of approximately 20 stations where problems have been identified will continue. Sampling occurs
annually between August 1 and September 31. The rotational sampling schedule began in 1988.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To detect organic compounds and metals in fish tissues as an indicator
of the water environment.

STATIONS: Approximately 30 stations from the Pennsylvania Water Quality Network are sampled
each year on a rotating basis. All stations are sampled over a period of time after which the rotation
will continue. In addition, annual sampling is done at approximately 20 stations with identified or
suspected problems.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: All sampling occurs annually between August 1 and September 31.
Fish are collected through a variety of means including electrofishing, seine, gill net, rotenone or
angling.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: This program is operated in conjunction with, and at the same
stations as, Pennsylvania's Water Quality Network.

STATIONS: Finfish are collected at 33 EPA national water quality monitoring network, or
CORE stations located throughout Maryland.
289
-------
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Annual collections of finfish are made using techniques determined
by the characteristics of the station. At nontidal stations, finfish are collected by electroshocking a
section of the river. At tidal stations, otter trawls of 10 minute duration are used for sample
collection. Attempts are made to collect two species at each station consistently over time,
preferably representing both bottom feeding and predator species. At all nontidal stations, a census
is taken during each sampling event. Total weight, range of lengths and total numbers of
individuals of each species are recorded for all stations.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: These stations are a subset of Maryland's CORE monitoring
network which monitors both tidal and nontidal tributaries, and the mainstem of the Chesapeake
Bay.

HART-MILLER ISLAND BENTHIC MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Hart-Miller Island Benthic Monitoring Program is one
component of a program designed to continually assess the environmental effects of constructing
and utilizing a diked containment facility at Hart-Miller Island which receives bottom sediments
dredged from Baltimore Harbor and its approaches. Through it, benthic communities are assessed
for species composition, distribution and abundance, and chemical analysis is performed on biotic
samples in the spring and fall of each year. Finfish monitoring is performed on the same day but is
limited to metals and organic analysis.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To examine benthic community structure, as well as metal and
organic contaminants in biological organisms surrounding the Hart-Miller Island Dredged Material
Containment facility.

STATIONS: There are approximately 18 benthic stations in the vicinity of the Hart-Miller
Containment facility. Station locations do change slightly from year to year. Those listed were
sampled in 1986-1987.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Field sampling for benthic and finfish is conducted three times a
year in the spring and the fall. At each benthic station, three replicate benthic samples are obtained
with a Van Veen grab from 6-15 cm in depth depending on the texture of the bottom. These are
then washed separately on a 1mm screen and preserved in 10% formalin solution. Epifauna
samples are obtained at various depths from the concrete pilings which support the fishing and boat
piers and are spaced at intervals around the perimeter of the island. These samples are treated as
the infaunal samples.
Finfish are sampled using bottom net trawls conducted to the north, south, east, and west of the
dike. Crabs occasionally caught in trawls are also analyzed.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Hart-Miller Island Benthic Monitoring Program is
coordinated by MDDNR in conjunction with the Hart-Miller Sediment Program. In addition, water
quality within the containment facility is monitored by the Maryland Environmental Service.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA FINFISH TISSUE
MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The District of Columbia Finfish Tissue Monitoring Program
has been conducted annually since 1980. This program monitors fmfish tissue at four discrete
areas in the Potomac and Anacostia rivers.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To protect public health and analyze possible trends in the
bioaccumulation and tissue loading of certain toxic substances. The survey has been designed to
screen for those priority pollutants found harmful to human health, with certain finfish species
targeted by virtue of their relative popularity as food fish.

STATIONS: Collection areas are in the upper Potomac River, the lower Potomac River, the
upper Anacostia River and the lower Anacostia River. Within these collection areas, four
individual sites are sampled.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Collections of finfish are made annually using one or more of the
following techniques: gill nets, shore seines, otter trawls, or electrofishing. Finfish targeted
include bottom feeders such as channel catfish or carp, predators such as pumpkinseed, white
perch, or small/largemouth bass, and anadromous fish such as river herring, blueback herring,
American shad, and striped bass. Each sample consists of at least five whole finfish of the same
species caught at the same location to make an aggregate weight of 500 grams.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Finfish tissue data are compared with routine ambient
monitoring data for collaboration and support of trend analyses.

WEST VIRGINIA FISH TISSUE SAMPLING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The West Virginia Fish Tissue Sampling Program consists of
approximately 20 locations statewide, three of which are located within the Chesapeake Bay basin.
Fish populations from these locations are sampled in order to carry out analyses for heavy metals
and organic compounds as well as for other target constituents associated with specific concerns.
Efforts are made in choosing the target species to include one bottom-feeder and one top predator.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To measure substances not readily detected in the water column.
To monitor spatial and temporal trends and determine the biological fate of specific chemicals. To
provide information to be used in making human health risk assessments from ingestion of fish.

SAMPLE COLLECTION: All samples are collected during the fall. Every two years, three
composite samples of no fewer than five finfish are collected at each station. Two of the composite
samples are composed of resident bottom feeding finfish such as carp, suckers or catfish. The
third composite sample is composed of resident predator finfish species (i.e. bass). Starlings and
duck (mallard and black) wings are collected every three years. The duck wings are submitted by
hunters within the Atlantic Flyway region near the designated station.

NOAA NATIONAL STATUS AND TRENDS PROGRAM - BENTHIC
SURVEILLANCE PROJECT
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program surveys a wide range of environmental
measurements to assess impacts of human activity on coastal and estuarine regions. The Benthic
Surveillance project is a part of the NS&T Program in which chemical components are assessed in
surficial bottom sediments, and in muscle tissues and livers of bottom-feeding fish at
approximately 50 stations nationwide and up to five locations in the Chesapeake Bay (depending
on resources). The target species in the Chesapeake Bay is the Atlantic Croaker. Selected Benthic
Surveillance samples are stored at the National Institute of Standards and Technology through the
NS&T Program's Specimen Banking project for potential future research.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To assess chemical contaminants in sediments and fish tissues as a
means of documenting the status and long-term changes of environmental quality in the Bay and in
coastal and estuarine environs nationwide.

STATIONS: There are five benthic surveillance stations located in the lower, middle and upper
Bay, the Elizabeth River and the Baltimore Harbor.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Fish and sediment samples for the benthic surveillance program are
collected at five stations in the Chesapeake Bay annually. At each sampling site, three stations are
sampled. Trawls for bottomfish are conducted as close to the sediment stations as possible.
A sediment sample is taken with a box corer or a Smith-Macintyre bottom grab at each of the three
stations at the site. These samples are then combined to form a composite sample.
Sampling of the target species of fish, the Atlantic Croaker, is performed in 15-20 minute trawls
which are made to minimize net damage to specimens. Visible lesions are noted and liver, stomach
and bile samples are taken for histopathological, organic chemical and trace metal analyses, and for
archiving. Interim storage of tissue and sediment does not exceed one day. Samples designated
for the speciman bank are frozen with liquid nitrogen.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Chesapeake Bay is sampled as part of a nationwide sampling
program which includes approximately 50 benthic surveillance sites.

MARYLAND RADIONUCLIDE MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Environmental levels of radionuclides attributed to natural
sources, atmospheric nuclear weapons testing and nuclear power plants are monitored to quantify
their temporal and spatial distribution in an effort to assess the radiological impact of nuclear power
plants on Maryland ecosystems.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: To determine the environmental and human health impact of
releases of radioactivity by the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP), the Peach Bottom
Atomic Power Station (PBAPS) and the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (TMINS). To
determine the transport and fate of plant-related radionuclides (and by analogy, of stable heavy
metals) in the Susquehanna River/Chesapeake Bay. Determine radionuclide uptake and elimination
rates, and concentration factors for riverine/estuarine organisms.
DATE INITIATED: Most monitoring program elements in the vicinity of the CCNPP were
initiated in 1977, and in the vicinity of PBAPS and TMINS in 1979.

STATIONS: There are three stations in the vicinity of Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant that
are routinely monitored for biota, with 28 and 24 stations respectively for routine and intensive
grid sampling of sediments. In the upper Chesapeake Bay and the Susquehanna River, six stations
are routinely monitored for biota and 37 stations are monitored for sediment.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: At the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant oysters from nine natural
bars are collected quarterly; oysters from an artificial tray are collected quarterly; blue crabs (flesh
and shell), finfish (whole forage species and flesh, bone and gut of edible species), grass shrimp
and algae samples are all collected each spring and fall; routine sediment samples are collected
quarterly; and intensive grid sediment samples are collected annually.
At the upper Chesapeake Bay and Susquehanna River stations, finfish samples (whole forage
species and flesh and gut of edible species) are collected each spring and fall; mussel (flesh)
samples are collected monthly from May through December; crayfish (whole) samples are collected
monthly from June through December; submerged aquatic vegetation and sediment samples are
collected every spring and fall.
Concentrations of gamma-emmiting radionuclides are determined by non-destructive analysis
employing solid-state detectors (GeLi or Ge) coupled to a computer-based pulse height analysis
system. Spectral data are archived on hard disk. Radiostrontium determination employs sample
destructive chemical separation and beta analysis of the yttrium daughter.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Results of monitoring and research projects relevant to each
nuclear power plant affecting Maryland are published periodically. Cumulative radiological impact
is addressed in a biannually published document. Research results are also submitted to open
literature.

MARYLAND CHESAPEAKE BAY WATER QUALITY MONITORING
PROGRAM: ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES COMPONENT -
VERTICAL FLUX
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Maryland Chesapeake Bay Water Quality Monitoring
Program: Ecosystem Processes Component - Vertical Flux (VFX) measures the vertical rate of
deposition of organic particulates to deep waters and the sediment surface. Measurements for
vertical flux are made at one station on an almost continuous basis in the summer with lower
frequency in the spring and fall and occasionally in the winter.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To characterize the present state of the Bay, and determine long-
term trends relative to the vertical rate of deposition of organic particulates. To integrate this
information with other elements of Maryland's monitoring program to gain a better understanding
of the processes affecting water quality.

STATIONS: There is one station located in the Maryland mainstem of the Chesapeake Bay, in
the central deep trough.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Measurements for vertical flux (VFX) are made on an almost
continuous basis in the summer (July and August) with lower frequency in the spring and fall, and
occasional sampling in the winter.
At each station, water column profiles of temperature, salinity and oxygen are obtained at 2 meter
intervals from the surface to the bottom to characterize general features of the water column. Water
samples are collected and analyzed at 5 discrete depths using a submersible pump system .
A surficial sediment sample is obtained at each station using either a Van Veen grab or the Bouma
box corer. Samples are analyzed and subsamples are examined to determine the composition of
surficial sediment particulates (algal species, zooplankton fecal pellets etc.). Collecting arrays,
maintained in a vertical position through the water column by a subsurface buoy, are attached at
approximately 5, 9 and 14 meters beneath the surface. The sediment trap string is routinely
deployed and retrieved, with normal sampling periods lasting 1-2 weeks. The contents of the
collecting cup are removed and aliquots taken for analysis. A 10 ml sample is also preserved and
examined to determine characteristics of collected paniculate material (algal species, zooplankton
fecal pellets etc.).
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Sediment Oxygen and Nutrient Exchange and the Vertical
Flux studies are both components of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Water Quality Monitoring
Program: Ecosystem Processes Component - Vertical Flux deposition rate measurements (VFX)
are coordinated with SONE measurements of the sediment-water exchanges monitored at the end
of each intensive VFX deployment period. These results are integrated with other MDE
monitoring components of the Maryland Chesapeake Bay Monitoring Progam to provide a more
complete understanding of these rate processes.

STATIONS: There are 10 station locations for oxygen and nutrient flux (four of them located
along the mainstem salinity gradient).
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Measurements for sediment oxygen and nutrient exchange (SONE)
are made on a quarterly basis. At each SONE location, temperature, salinity and oxygen are
obtained at 2 meter intervals from the surface to the bottom immediately prior to obtaining intact
sediment cores for incubation. Near-surface (approximately 1 meter below) and near-bottom
(approximately 1 meter above) water samples are also collected using a high volume submersible
pump system.
Three intact sediment cores are obtained at each SONE station using a modified Bouma box corer.
After deployment and retrieval of the box corer, the plexiglass liner containing the sediment sample
is removed and visually inspected for disturbance before being held for further processing. Cores
are placed in a darkened water bath of bottom water which is gently circulated to closely
approximate in-situ conditions. Oxygen concentrations are recorded every 15 minutes and water
samples are extracted from each core every 30 minutes over the 2-5 hour incubation period. As a
nutrient sample is extracted for a core, an equal amount of ambient bottom water is added. An
additional sample of bottom water is incubated and sampled to serve as a blank. Water samples are
filtered, frozen and later analyzed for nutrients. Nutrient and oxygen fluxes are estimated by
calculating the mean rate of change in concentration over the incubation period and then converting
the volumetric rate to a flux using the volume to area ratio of each core.
In addition to this, an intact sediment core is obtained and Eh measurements immediately made at
1 cm intervals to a depth of about 10 cm. Once a year in October, sediments are sampled for
vertical distribution of both dissolved and paniculate nutrient concentrations and water content.
Several intact cores are obtained at each station using the Bouma box corer with subcores taken and
later sliced at 1 cm intervals to a depth of 10 cm. Samples are then analyzed.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Sediment Oxygen and Nutrient Exchange and the Vertical
Flux (VFX) studies are both components of Maryland's Ecosystem Processes Program. Vertical
deposition rate measurements are coordinated with SONE measurements in the sediment-water
exchanges monitored at the end of each intensive VFX deployment period. These results are
integrated with other components of the Maryland Chesapeake Bay Monitoring Program to provide
a more complete understanding of these rate processes.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Pennsylvania NOAA National Weather Service Climatological
Data Network is part of a national network of climatological (weather) monitoring stations. There are
85 stations in the Chesapeake Bay basin in Pennsylvania (as of 1986) with at least temperature and
precipitation records. There are three stations at Wilkes-Barre, Harrisburg, and Williamsport which
are designated Local Climatological Data (LCD) stations where additional parameters are collected on a
more frequent basis.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To provide a long-term climatological data base.
DATE INITIATED: Earliest 1877 [Varies for each station]

PARTICIPATING
AGENCIES: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
INVESTIGATORS: N/A
PARAMETERS:
While parameters vary, they include one or more of the following:
Temperature Barometric Pressure
Degree Days Sunshine
Precipitation Sky Cover
Precipitation Type Weather Type
Wind Speed Evaporation
Wind Direction Soil Temperature
STATIONS: There are 85 stations located in the Pennsylvania portion of the Chesapeake Bay basin.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Frequency of collection varies. Measurements are generally taken on a
daily basis with calculations of daily, monthly, and annual maximums, minimums, averages and
departures from normal. Totals for precipitation and precipitation types, evaporation and wind
movement and number of days above and below maximum and minimum temperatures are also
quantified. Seasonal heating-degree days, snowfall and cooling-degree days are calculated as well.
There are three Local Climatological Data (LCD) stations at Wilkes-Barre, Harrisburg, and
Williamsport where hourly measurements are taken, and hourly and 3-hourly averages are calculated in
addition to the above.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: These stations are part of a national network for climatological data.

SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION MONITORING
PROGRAM - METEOROLOGY COMPONENT
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Monitoring Program
Meteorology Component is one part of an ongoing ecological study of the Susquehanna River in
the vicinity of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (Susquehanna SES). Through this
program, recording of temperature and barometric pressure is performed on a continuous basis,
and observations of fog, cloud cover and collected precipitation are recorded one time per day.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To supplement additional environmental monitoring data used to
evaluate the environmental impact of the Susquehanna SES by comparing preoperational (pre-
1983) and operational data.

STATIONS: There are two stations; one at the Susquehanna SES Biological Laboratory and one
at the Transmission Corridor Field just north of U.S. Route 11.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: At the Susquehanna SES Biological Laboratory, temperature,
barometric pressure, precipitation collections and fog and cloud cover observations are made and,
at the Transmission Corridor Field just north of U.S. Route 11, additional fog and cloud cover
observations are made. Temperature and barometric pressure are continuously recorded using a
Taylor Weather-Hawk Recording Thermometer and Barometer respectively. Maximum and
356
-------
minimum temperatures, with times of occurrence, are tabulated daily and barometric pressure
readings are tabulated at 1200 and 2400 hours. Precipitation is collected in a U.S. Weather Bureau
Rain Gauge at the Biological Laboratory with the amount recorded daily except on weekends, and
weekend precipitation measured Monday morning. Fog observations are made at the Biological
Laboratory and at the Transmission Corridor Field between 1700 and 1800 hours daily except on
weekends. Fog is categorized as "light" (visibility 1/4 mile or more) or "dense" (visibility less than
1/4 mile) as done by the National Weather Service. Photographs of the cooling towers are taken at
each location to document the presence of or absence of fog using a 35mm Minolta XF-M camera
with a macrozoom lens set at 70 mm. Slides are stored at the Biological Laboratory. Weather
conditions, including cloud cover and type of precipitation, are recorded at the same time as fog
observations. Since conditions differ little between the two stations, data are combined for
reporting purposes with fog reported if it occurs at either station. Presence or absence of a plume
from the cooling towers is determined from the photographs. In the cases of dense fog where
plume presence cannot be determined, no report of plume is made.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: The Susquehanna SES Monitoring Program - Meteorology
Component is one component of an ongoing ecological study of the Susquehanna River in the
vicinity of the Susquehanna SES.

MARYLAND NOAA NWS CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA NETWORK
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Maryland NOAA National Weather Service Climatological
Data Network is part of a national network of climatological (weather) monitoring stations. There
are 50 stations in the Chesapeake Bay basin in Maryland with at least temperature and precipitation
records. One station at Baltimore is a designated Local Climatological Data (LCD) station, which
collects additional parameters on a more frequent basis.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To provide a long-term climatological data base.
DATE INITIATED: Earliest 1869 [Varies for each station]

on a daily basis with calculations of daily, monthly, and annual maximums, minimums, averages
and departures from normal. Totals for precipitation and precipitation types, evaporation and wind
movement and number of days above and below maximum and minimum temperatures are also
quantified. Seasonal heating-degree days, snowfall and cooling-degree days are also calculated.
The Local Climatological Data (LCD) station in Baltimore, Maryland takes hourly measurements,
and hourly and 3-hourly averages are calculated in addition to the above.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: These stations are part of a national network for climatological
data.

PENNSYLVANIA AIR QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAMS
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Pennsylvania Air Quality Monitoring Programs consist of
three air monitoring networks operated by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Air Quality Control. These
three networks are the High Volume Network, the Pennsylvania Air Quality Surveillance System
(PAQSS) and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Air Monitoring System (COPAMS). There are
40 air monitoring stations located within the Chesapeake Bay basin. Monitoring for each of these
programs may occur at common stations.
Thirty-six of the 40 monitoring stations within the Chesapeake Bay basin are part of the EPA's
State and Local Air Monitoring (SLAM) program by which EPA monitors specific criteria deemed
important to the vicinity. They may also be a part of the National Air Monitoring (NAM) Program
which is designed to monitor national trends for certain criteria.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To judge compliance with air quality standards, to provide real time
monitoring of air pollution episodes, to provide data for trend analysis, regulation evaluation and
planning, and to provide information to the public on a daily basis concerning the quality of the air.

Note: All parameters are not measured at every station.
STATIONS: There are 40 air monitoring stations located in the Pennsylvania portion of the
Chesapeake Bay basin. Many of these serve as monitoring stations for more than one of the three
Pennsylvania air quality networks.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: The High Volume Network consists of 91 stations throughout the
state where samples are collected for total suspended paniculate once every six days with selected
filters analyzed for sulfates, nitrates, lead, beryllium and benzo-a-pyrene, and selected stations
measuring for PM10. Through this network monthly samples are also taken at selected stations for
settleable particulates by means of a dustfall jar.
The COPAMS network is a totally automatic, computer-controlled system which consists of 17
stations in the major population areas of the state connected by dedicated telephone lines to a central
station in Harrisburg. Each station measures wind speed and direction, temperature difference
between 4 and 16 meters above ground, dew point and ambient temperature, soiling, sulfur
dioxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. Soiling is determined by drawing ambient
air through a filter tape for an hour and measuring the percent reduction in light transmittance
through the tape with a photocell. Sulfur dioxide is monitored by a pulsed fluorescence monitor.
Ozone is monitored by an analyzer using the ultraviolet photometric method. Nitrogen dioxide and
other nitrogen oxides are monitored by chemiluminescent analyzers. Carbon monoxide is
monitored by gas filter correlation non-dispersive infrared analyzers. Two stations also measure
for methane, total organic compounds and non-methane organic compounds for a portion of the
year.
The PAQSS network consists of 22 microprocessor-controlled, stand-alone systems which
measure wind speed and direction, sulfur dioxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide.
The data are either recorded on magnetic tape on-site and manually retrieved on a biweekly basis,
or retrieved on a daily basis via telephone lines.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Twenty-five stations are a part of the National Air Monitoring
(NAM) Program which is designed to monitor national trends for certain criteria. Twenty
Pennsylvania air monitoring stations are part of the EPA's State and Local Air Monitoring (SLAM)
program by which EPA monitors specific criteria deemed important to the vicinity. Nine of the
aforementioned stations are part of both of these networks.

MARYLAND AIR SURVEILLANCE NETWORK
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Maryland Air Surveillance Network consists of 55 stations
located within the Chesapeake Bay Basin. Air quality data is collected for both criteria air
pollutants (paniculate matter, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and lead)
and for air pollutants for which air quality standards do not exist. Monitoring is performed on
either a continuous or a 6-day basis. Selected stations are part of the State and Local Air
Monitoring (SLAM) program and/or the National Air Monitoring (NAM) program.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To provide a daily air quality index to the public based on current
levels of criteria pollutants. To assist other environmental agencies with enforcement activities. To
respond to chemical emergencies (determine safe levels to return to an area). To determine
compliance with air quality standards, and to perform long-term studies of non-criteria pollutants.

Note: All parameters are not measured at every station.
STATIONS: There are 55 stations located within the Maryland portion of the Chesapeake Bay.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Gaseous pollutants are measured at 22 locations on a continuous
basis (24 hours a day) while paniculate matter is collected every six days at 35 stations. At a
selected number of these locations, paniculate matter is analyzed for sulfate, nitrate, lead,
chromium, arsenic and benzo-a-pyrene.
A 24-hour sample is collected every six days for hydrocarbon and chlorinated hydrocarbon
analysis. These samples are collected on multisorbent tubes and analyzed on a gas chromatograph
equipped with a mass selective detector.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Selected stations in the Maryland Air Surveillance Network are
part of the EPA National Air Monitoring (NAM) program, in which specific criteria are monitored
in order to determine national trends, and/or a part of the EPA State and Local Air Monitoring
(SLAM) program, by which monitoring is performed on specific criteria deemed important to the
vicinity. In addition, MDE participates in the Metropolitan Washington Council of Government's
Air Quality Index which reports daily on air pollution levels in relation to federal air quality
standards in the Washington metropolitan area.

PENNSYLVANIA ATMOSPHERIC DEPOSITION
MONITORING PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Pennsylvania Atmospheric Deposition Monitoring Program
consists of nine stations located in the Chesapeake Bay basin and 16 acid precipitation monitoring
stations throughout the state. Two of the nine stations are part of the National Atmospheric
Deposition Program/ National Trends Network (NADP/NTN) and one station is run by the
National Park Service. Although coordinated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Resources, monitoring at many stations is conducted by the Pennsylvania State University.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To determine the magnitude and distribution of atmospheric
deposition in Pennsylvania and to assess its environmental impacts. To determine temporal trends
in the chemistry of Pennsylvania's precipitation, to evaluate the influence of local emissions and
variations in precipitation amounts on wet deposition patterns, and to determine the optimum
number of sites needed to define spatial variability in atmospheric deposition.

STATIONS: There are nine stations located in the Pennsylvania portion of the Chesapeake Bay
basin.
SAMPLE COLLECTION: Weekly samples (Tuesday to Tuesday) are collected at each station
with an Aerochem metric wet/dry precipitation collector. Recording and standard nonrecording
rain gauges are installed at each site with each recording rain gauge equipped with a timer/chart
recorder keyed to the sampling interval of one week. The opening and closing of the sampler is
determined by an event recorder mounted on the recording rain gauge. The nonrecording rain
gauges are used to determine the total amount of precipitation.
Sample buckets are collected each Tuesday at 9:00 AM unless it is raining or snowing in which
case they are removed when the precipitation ceases or, at the latest, at the end of the working day
on Tuesday. The entire collection bucket is then shipped to the Environmental Resources Research
Institute or, in the case of NADP/NTN samples, to the Central Analytical Laboratory, Illinois State
Water Survey in Champaign, Illinois.
In addition to the precipitation samples, dry deposition samples are collected at each site every eight
weeks and shipped to the aforementioned water quality labs for analysis. One liter of deionized
water is added to each sample, which is then left to equilibrate for 24 hours and analyzed using the
same procedures used for precipitation samples.
PROGRAM INTEGRATION: Two stations within the Pennsylvania portion of the
Chesapeake Bay basin are part of the National Atmospheric Deposition Program/ National Trends
Network (NADP/NTN), and one station is run by the National Park Service.
