Design Workgroup National Monitoring Network
Introduction • Overview of Progress to Date • Al Korndoerfer, Chair of Design Workgroup
Applying Charge from CEQ • 10 Resource Areas • Concentrated on first two Environmental Issues • Oxygen Depletion • Nutrient Enrichment • Developed Geographic Areas of concern • Developed Parameter list from charge & existing programs
Oxygen Depletion • Parameter list, sampling frequency, spatial resolution, probabilistic vs.. Targeted, sampling protocols • See spreadsheet
Nutrient Enrichment • Parameter list, sampling frequency, spatial resolution, probabilistic vs. Targeted, sampling protocols • See spreadsheet
Next Steps • Finalize design of first two environmental issues for all resource areas • Decide whether rivers are to be fully characterized within NMN or only monitored for loading to coastal/estuaries. • Expand concept to remaining environmental issues
