Georgia monitors its rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, beaches, wetlands, and groundwater. Water quality monitoring in Georgia began in the 1960s. The data collected by EPD is maintained in the Georgia Environmental Monitoring and Assessment System, also known as GOMAS. This water quality data, in addition to water quality data collected by municipal wastewater permit holders as part of their Watershed Assessment and Watershed Protection Plan requirements, is available through the GOMAS Public Database Portal. The database contains data for common water quality parameters as measured in streams, rivers, and lakes across the state. The User Interface allows the user to enter search criteria by monitoring station number, waterbody name (stream name), geopolitical boundary (county), watershed boundary (Hydrological Unit Codes, River Basin), and other parameters.

Georgia EPD monitors water quality and water levels in eight aquifers and periodically conducts special studies on groundwater quality such as arsenic, radionuclides, and pesticides. The Georgia Ground-Water Monitoring Network is designed to evaluate the ambient groundwater quality present in Georgia. Groundwater monitoring data, as well as geological maps and information, are published in the Georgia Geologic Survey Publications.

The Monitoring Coalition Program is a voluntary, ambient monitoring program that provides an effective and efficient means for assessing water quality in a watershed context. A monitoring coalition is a group of stakeholders that combine resources and expertise, to collectively fund and perform an in-stream monitoring program. If any members of the monitoring coalitions are NPDES wastewater or drinking water permit holders, the monitoring performed by this Program can be done in lieu of the in-stream monitoring required by their individual permits. 

By forming a coalition, members have a medium to gather more information about their watersheds, evaluate member-specific interests and collaborate on watershed specific issues. Coalition members work with DWR to develop a monitoring network that uses strategically selected, mutually agreeable sampling locations to evaluate water quality beyond the point-source outfall. The monitoring locations are coordinated with the State's existing ambient and biological monitoring networks, to provide a more comprehensive picture of watershed conditions without duplicating efforts.

Since February 1996, the Lower Cape Fear River Program has monitored from Lock and Dam 1 down to Southport. Thirty-one stations are currently monitored on a monthly basis. Details of the current monitoring program can be found in the Memorandum of Agreement. The LCFRP has supported research at UNC-Wilmington in a variety of water quality studies. Currently the members are working with DWR on the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Cape Fear Estuary.

The members of the Lower Neuse Basin Association have monitored the Neuse River basin downstream of Falls Lake since December 1994. Currently the LNBA monitors 55 stations monthly. Details of this monitoring program can be found in the Memorandum of Agreement. The association, in cooperation with the Neuse River Compliance Association (NRCA), has actively supported nutrient management within the basin through upgrades to nutrient removal systems at member wastewater treatment facilities, and has provided financial assistance to academic researcher on nutrient loading. The Association is working with DWR and academia, to evaluate the effectiveness of the TMDL in reducing the nitrogen load to the Neuse estuary.

Since July 1998, the Middle Cape Fear River Basin Association has monitored from the confluence of the Haw and Deep Rivers to Lock and Dam 1. Today the association monitors 36 stations monthly. Details of the monitoring plan can be found in the association's Memorandum of Agreement. The MCFRBA has helped expand water quality knowledge within the river basin, by supporting academic research and conducting studies on fecal coliform and low level metals.

The Tar-Pamlico Basin Association has monitored the basin since March 2007. The Association currently collects monthly data at 37 stations. Details of the monitoring plan can be found in the Memorandum of Agreement. The TPBA has worked cooperatively with DWQ to comply with the Tar-Pamlico Nutrient Strategy and is preparing for Phase IV negotiations.

The Upper Cape Fear River Basin Association has monitored the waters of the Cape Fear River Basin from the headwaters to the confluence of the Haw and Deep Rivers since April 2000. The group currently monitors 40 stations monthly. Details of the monitoring plan can be found in the Memorandum of Agreement. The association has worked with the US Geological Society (USGS) to study sediment and nutrients within the watershed. Members were also active in the development of the Jordan Lake TMDL.

The Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin Association has monitored the Yadkin basin from the headwaters to the South Carolina border, since June 1998. The association currently monitors 71 stations monthly. Details on the monitoring program can be found in the Memorandum of Agreement. Association members have also supported water quality improvement efforts within the basin through stream restoration projects and participation in watershed planning. Currently the association is working with DWR and other stakeholders in the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for High Rock Lake.

Ultimately, the framework creates a flexible, yet consistent, monitoring and evaluation approach. This approach will help us determine if a project is successful, improve the effectiveness of our work, and measure progress towards our desired program outcomes. The details outlined below demonstrate how the Community-based Restoration Program implements the framework.

Implementation monitoring allows us to evaluate whether a project was executed as designed. It is required for all project types shortly after implementation is complete. Implementation monitoring is essentially quality assurance for project construction.

Effectiveness monitoring (Tier 2) investigates more complex physical, biological, and geochemical processes, and/or restoration technique effectiveness questions. With effectiveness monitoring, we are evaluating whether the project is functioning as intended. Tier 2 monitoring is longer-term and often requires detailed field investigations of multiple parameters. It can be expensive, so we only fund effectiveness monitoring for a subset of our primary project types. We try to choose Tier 2 monitoring sites carefully so that they represent commonly found habitats and priority project types. This allows us to generalize what is learned at one Tier 2 site to the larger setting it represents and increase the cost-effectiveness of our monitoring program.

Federal law requires the state to monitor all workforce programs receiving federal funds. The purpose of the monitoring review is to periodically assess and evaluate whether the 24 Local Workforce Development Boards (LWDBs) are complying with program laws, regulations, state and local plans, and appropriate FloridaCommerce administrative policies and guidance in administering statewide workforce programs.

The EPA uses the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR) to collect data for contaminants that are suspected to be present in drinking water and do not have regulatory standards set under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The monitoring provides the EPA and other interested parties with nationally representative data on the occurrence of contaminants in drinking water, the number of people potentially being exposed, and an estimate of the levels of that exposure. These data can support future regulatory determinations and other actions to protect public health.

UCMR 5 was published in the Federal Register on December 27, 2021. UCMR 5 requires monitoring for 29 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and lithium. Sample collection under UCMR 5 will be from January 2023 through December 2025. The data released to date represent approximately 15% of the total results that the EPA expects to receive. Occurrence data will be updated on a quarterly basis until completion of data reporting in 2026. Data are added and possibly removed or updated over the course of this reporting cycle following further review by analytical laboratories, public water systems (PWSs), states, and the EPA.

UCMR 4 was published in the Federal Register on December 20, 2016. It required monitoring for 30 chemical contaminants (nine cyanotoxins and one cyanotoxin group; two metals; nine pesticides; three brominated haloacetic acid [HAA] disinfection byproducts groups, three alcohols, and three semivolatile organic chemicals).

The Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring-State (UCM-State) Round 1 dataset contains PWS monitoring results for 62 then-unregulated contaminants (some have since been regulated). These data were collected by 40 states and primacy entities between 1988 and 1992.

Volunteers are an integral part of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources approach to monitoring hundreds of species and habitats in forests, grasslands, wetlands, lakes, rivers and streams throughout the state. This public involvement, called citizen-based monitoring, leads to high-quality scientific data, offers rewarding and educational outdoor opportunities for volunteers and promotes information sharing and collaborations between members of the public and the DNR. Working together, we can better inform natural resource management and conservation.

Citizen-based monitoring projects are active in every county in the state, with volunteer opportunities available for everyone, regardless of initial skill level, science or nature experience or time availability. No matter who you are or where you are in Wisconsin, you can contribute to the management of our precious aquatic and terrestrial natural resources. e24fc04721
