REGIONAL OFFICE: Workshop on Biological
Indicators for Lakes: A workshop, "Developing
Fish and Macrobenthos Indicators for Lake Assess-
ments," was held at the New England Association of
Environmental Biologists (NEAEB) in March (see
related story below). EPA's Environmental Moni-
toring and Assessment Program (EMAP) and
Biological Criteria Program (BCP) are currently
developing a series of biological indicators for
assessing the ecological condition of lakes. This
workshop focused on a number of the issues associ-
ated with evaluating the potential of lake fish and
benthic invertebrate assemblages as ecological
indicators. The first section of the workshop in-
cluded presentations based on data collected from
Northeast lakes. The second section was a panel-led
discussion focusing on selection and standardization
of sampling methods, evaluation of candidate
metrics, reference site selection, and comparison of
indicator requirements for making region-level
(EMAP) versus lake-specific (BCP) assessments.

Volunteer Monitoring in Casco Bay: Casco Bay has
been included in the National Estuaiy Program since
April 1990. As part of the program, local citizens,
agencies, universities, and other participants have
jointly developed the Citizen’s Water Quality Monitor-
ing Program.
Coordinated by the Friends of Casco Bay, volunteers
have successfully completed their first year of monitor-
ing. The program sampled at 40 surface sites, 8 water
column profile sites, and 11 fecal coliforin sampling
sites (coordinated with Maine Department of Marine
Resources). This year, the program is planning to add
up to 20 surface sampling sites, 2 profile sites, and
additional fecal coilform sites.
The Casco Bay Program includes 11 active monitoring
groups in addition to The Friends of Casco Bay and has
successfully integrated with existing area programs,
working toward full coverage of the Bay and its water-
shed.

Delaware River Basin Commission: Nonpoint
Source Regulations Adopted for Portion of Dela-
ware Basin: At its February 23,1994 meeting, the
Delaware River Basin Commission adopted regula-
tions to control nonpoint source pollution emanating
from the drainage area to waters classified by the
Commission as “Special Protection Waters.”
The Commission’s Special Protection Waters regula-
tions, minus the nonpoint source control regulations,
were previously adopted on December 9, 1992. The
regulations expand the Commission’s nondegradation
policy by providing additional protection to waters
with “exceptionally high scenic, recreational, ecologi-
cal, and/or water supply values.”
The overriding policy of the Special Protection Waters
regulations is that no measurable change to the existing
water quality of the Special Protection Waters will be
allowed. A unique feature of the regulations is that
existing water quality is numerically defined in the
regulations. 11 definition of existing water quality
was statistically derived from water quality monitoring
data and adopted as water quality criteria. The criteria
included biocntena.
Copies of the regulations are availbie from the Dela-
ware River Basin Commission, Public Information
Office, P.O. Box 7360, West Trenton, NJ 08628-0360;

REGIONAL OFFICE: Platte Watershed Pro-
gram: The Platte Watershed Program is a partner-
ship to protect and enhance the ecosystem of the
Platte River and its alluvial aquifer in Nebraska.
The Platte River in Nebraska is a national ecologic
treasure—an area of high biodiversity and a vital
link in the Central Flyway migratory bird route. The
surface and water resources of the Platte Basin also
support multiple uses, provide drinking water for
two-thirds of Nebraska’s citizens, and sustain an
economy based on rich agricultural production. A
watershed approach based on the principles of
problem identification/targeting, stakeholder in-
volvement, and comprehensive, coordinated action
provides the conceptual framework for the Platte
Watershed Program. This ecosystem management
project implements new citizen monitoring, ecologi-
cal risk assessment, pollution prevention, environ-
mental education, and ecological restoration activi-
ties in the Platte watershed. EPA serves as a facilita-
tor in the Platte Watershed Program by performing
scientific assessments and providing resources to
build state and local capacity for long-term ecologi-
cal and economic sustainability. For more informa-
tion, contact Donna Sefton at (913) 551-7500.
The Water Monitor is produced monthly to
exchange surface water assessment informa-
tion among states and.other interested parties.

Rapid Bloasessment Study of Urban Streams in
Denver, CO: The Denver Public Health Depart-
ment Is conducting a comprehensive study of Cherry
Creek and the South Platte River within the bound-
aries of the City and County of Denver. The Depart-
ment will collect physical, chemical, biological and
habitat Information at approximately 100 sites within
the watershed, with the primary goal of Identifying
significant nonpoint source pollution impacts to
these streams.
The Department will also conduct biological assess-
ments and habitat characterization based on EPA’s
Rapid Bloassessinent Protocols (RBP) four times per
year at each site. Other parameters measured
Include fecal coilforin, fecal streptococci, tempera-
ture, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductivity,
phenols, and total ammonia.
This study Is fairly unique due to the intensity of
sampling within an urban area (100 sites are sampled
four times per year along approximately 15 miles of
stream). Sites were selected such that the majority
will bracket storm water outfalis or similar potential
sources of pollutants. ‘fl Department will analyze
the data collected dwing the project In conjunction
with land use Information In an effort to identify and
prioritize the most Impaired areas In Denver. Once
the Initial assessment Is completed, the study will
focus on identifying the cause(s) of impacts at
several of the highest ranked sites. Contact Maureen
Dudley, Denver Public Health Department (Environ-
mental Protection Division), at (303) 436-7305 for

IDAHO: The Idaho Division of Environmental
Quality (IDEQJ recently published a report titled
Squaw Creek—Beneficial Use Assessment. IDEQ,
In its 1988 Water Quality Assessment [ section
305(b)] Report, noted that all beneficial uses were
supported but threatened due to forest practices and
range management IDEQ identified sediment as
the pollutant of concern. A cooperative monitoring
project between the U.S. Forest Service, Boise
National Forest, and IDEQ was implemented in
1991 to(1)assessbeneficialusestatusand
(2) determine whether problems existed. The proj-
ect monitored a series of physical and biological
parameters in an attempt to answer these two
objectives.
Physical habitat monitoring revealed higher percent
fines, lower substrate permeability, sorting, and
porosity in Third Fork Squaw Creek than in the main
Squaw Creek. Third Fork is the more intensely-used
system of the two based on timber harvest and road
density. Main Squaw Creek had lower density and a
more clumped distribution of large woody debris
than did Third Fork. Main Squaw Creek warmed
faster and to a higher degree in summer than did
Third Fork, while Third Fork cooled more quickly
and to a lower degree in the fall than did Squaw
Creek. Third Fork has a lower interstitial space
index and higher macroinvertebrate pollution
tolerance than Squaw Creek. Brachycentrus, a
sediment-intolerant species, was found in main
Squaw Creek but not in Third Fork.
Despite having inadequate physical habitat and more
pollution-tolerant macroinvertebrates, Third Fork
had higher numbers, densities, and recruitment of
trout than main Squaw Creek. It would appear based
on the data that Third Fork is exhibiting cumulative
impacts from the combined activities of timber
harvest and grazing. However, despite the apparent
degradation in physical habitat, Third Fork continues
to support wild trout recruitment. For more Informa-
tion, contact Michael McIntyre of IDEQ at (208)

EPA Spatial Data Management Workshop: The
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program
(EMAP) Information Management (IM) group
hosted a Spatial Data Management Workshop in
Research Triangle Park, NC, to discuss common
requirements and strategies for managing computer
core spatial data resources used in support of EPA
programs. Attendees included representatives from
the EMAP Landscape Characterization and Forests
groups, the Office of Water, the Office of Informa-
tion Resources Management, and the National Data
Processing Division.
Participants discussed the need to develop a national
spatial data reposi-
tory for commonly
used data sets, such
as land use and land
cover, hydrology
(Reach File),
transportation,
demographics, and
site locations from
EPA program
systems Including
the Superfund
National Prloirlty
Ust and Toxic Release Inventory. A national
network of regional or project-specific repositories
that draws on the national repository and contributes
to it was also proposed. There was agreement on the
need to develop a spatial data certification process
that would produce appropriate documentation,
including quality assurance information, and ensure
compliance with relevant federal spatial data stan-
dards. The EMAP Chesapeake Bay landscape data
set and OW’s Reach File were proposed as candi-
dates for a spatial data certification pilot project to
begin this year. For more information, contact
Tommy DeWald at (202) 260-2488.
