  3. Flow Monitoring • Required flow monitoring • All CRP supported sites on unclassified waterbodies • Highly encouraged on all classified waterbodies if possible • Uses • Flow status verification • Loading calculations • Modeling

  4. Nitrate & Nitrite • TCEQ Priority Order • 00620 - NITRATE NITROGEN, TOTAL (MG/L AS N) • 00630 - NITRITE PLUS NITRATE, TOTAL ONE LAB DETERMINED VALUE (MG/L AS N) • 00593 - NO2 PLUS NO3-N, TOTAL, CALCULATED VALUE (MG/L) • 00631 - NITRITE PLUS NITRATE, DISS 1 DET. (MG/L AS N) • 00618 - NITRATE NITROGEN, DISSOLVED (MG/L AS N) • Partner Parameters • TRWD – 00630 • LLP – 00615 & 00620 • AR – 00615 & 00593 • TRA – 00615 & 00593 (amended to 00620) • GP – 00620 & 00593 • IR – 00593

  5. Turbidity Monitoring • May be useful for predicting E. coli levels

  6. Initial Requirements for CRP Data Submittal Plans Trinity River Authority CRP Team

  7. Problems • Delay and Infrequency of Data Submittals • Inconsistent Format of Data Deliverables • Data Entry Accuracies (incorrect decimal places, incorrect date/time formats, incorrect site IDs/units, illegible hand-writing…) • Lack of Information regarding Missing Data

  8. Highlights of Changes • Timelines for Data Submittals • Standard Format of Data Deliverables • Data Review Checklist • New Plan Implementation

  9. Data Submittal Timelines

  10. Required Data Format

  11. Data Review Checklist

  12. Implementation • Designated QA officer from each entity • Communication using emails preferred (wuh@trinityra.org) • Provisional period – May to August • Return unacceptable data w/ directions • Get manager’s attention
