“It is in the marriage of credible data use and increased stewardship behavior that the true potential and vitality of citizen monitoring begins to emerge.” – Steven Hubbell ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welcome friends, colleagues, and conference participants,

On behalf of the extensive volunteer monitoring community, we welcome you to this conference and invite you to experience presentations highlighting the broad spectrum of volunteer monitoring activities. Across the country, and indeed throughout the world, volunteer monitors watch over watersheds, often where no one else is looking. They monitor the condition of streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, coastal waters, wetlands, and wells. They do this because they want to help protect or restore a favorite water body near where they live, work, or play. They do this to ensure safe drinking water. They educate themselves, their community, and decision-makers. They recognize the importance of their role as watershed stewards. They make a difference. Volunteers do physical, chemical and biological monitoring. They measure Secchi depth in lakes, identify stream benthic macroinvertebrates, and monitor bacteria levels. They make visual observations of habitat, land uses, and storm impacts, and assess the abundance and diversity of plants, fish, birds, and other wildlife. Some have undertaken more exotic activities, examining water samples for toxic phytoplankton or monitoring the health of coral reefs. Volunteers count and catalog beach debris, participate in restoring degraded habitats, and help monitor the success of restoration efforts. When you talk to state agency staff about uses of volunteer monitoring data, they tend to focus on state-level uses like EPA’s 305(b) report and 303(d) listing. And indeed volunteer data are increasingly finding their way into state reports and TMDL plans. But volunteer organizations are quick to point out that state-level uses are not the holy of volunteer data use. Volunteer monitoring is for the most part a local activity with local impacts. Watershed associations, lakefront homeowner associations, and other community groups use their monitoring data to guide their own restoration projects and management activities. They present their data to local planning committees or town councils to support proposals for protective ordinances and policies. Volunteer monitoring of lakes and streams began in the 1970s and grew rapidly. Many volunteer monitoring programs have been going strong for more than 20 years, providing an unparalleled long-term record of water quality and the ability to assess whether water quality improvement and restoration projects are truly working. As volunteer monitoring has grown and matured, programs increasingly emphasize assuring data quality and documenting metadata so that the comparability of their data to that of others can be recognized. Credibility is key. We invite all conference participants to take advantage of workshops, presentations, and informal exchanges, indeed to Connect for Clean Water with all members our vibrant monitoring community, especially those at this conference!

Colleagues and Conference Participants,

On behalf of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program, I am pleased to welcome you to the 5th National Monitoring Conference in San José, California. I am honored that the National Water Quality Monitoring Council offered the NAWQA Program an opportunity to play a major role in the conference.

In particular, we in NAWQA are excited to share with you our recent national-scale findings on pesticides and volatile organic contaminants from data collected in the first decade of the Program, 1992-2001. In addition, we bring to the conference our latest approaches and methods, for example, models that make the important step of moving us forward from monitoring to prediction of water quality conditions. Prediction of water quality conditions in unsampled waters is an important next step because water quality-assessment is something we need for all waters, not just those we can afford to monitor. We also bring to the conference early results on approaches to assessing and understanding the sources, fate, transport, and effects of contaminants in ground water and streams, and the effects of mercury and urbanization on aquatic ecosystems.

The quality of this conference is the reason we return each biennium. The quality is the result of the activities and contributions of a large number of individuals that make up the membership of the National Water Quality Monitoring Council. I want to thank all those who made this week possible and wish you a beneficial and productive time in San José.

Sincerely,

Donna N. Myers, Chief National Water-Quality Assessment Program

Collaborative Partnership for Water Quality Monitoring

Introduction Responding to the Challenge: The National Water The National Water Quality Monitoring Council (Council) Quality Monitoring Council provides an opportunity for the monitoring community to The Council provides guidance and technical support develop consensus-based approaches and tools for monitoring for voluntary implementation of actions that advance the and reporting on water quality. The Council promotes science of monitoring. This is best accomplished in an arena partnerships that foster collaboration, advance the science, of collaborative and coordinated efforts communicated to and improve management of our water resources. The all interested parties. In sum these actions will ultimately Council strives to represent the full range of the monitoring improve water quality monitoring. The Council encourages community. use of metadata, lab accreditation, methods documentation, and other procedures that contribute to the broadest possible acceptance, sharing, and use of water quality data. The Council Council Mission promotes effective communication of monitoring results and fi ndings to decision-makers and the general public. In some Provide a national forum to coordinate consistent and cases, Council work groups develop tools and techniques. scientifi cally defensible methods and strategies for improving water quality monitoring, assessment, and reporting. Examples of these are the National Environmental Methods Index and Water Quality Data Elements. In other cases, the Council provides a venue for wide-ranging discussion and dissemination of new methods and technologies developed The Challenge of Multi-Agency Monitoring by others through its Web site and at its National Monitoring Each year government agencies, industry, academia and Conferences. private organizations devote enormous amounts of time, energy, and money to monitor, protect, manage, and restore water resources and watersheds. Differences in project design, methods, data analysis, and data management have often made it diffi cult for monitoring information and results to be shared and used by all. The restoration and protection of water quality is dependent upon detailed, understandable, and easily accessible data and information.

A National Water Quality Monitoring Network for U.S. Coastal Waters and their Tributaries

The annual cost of water resource monitoring is hundreds of millions of dollars. Yet, numerous reports in recent years indicate that monitoring remains insufficient and lacks coordination to provide comprehensive information about U.S. water resources. The final report of the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy recommended a National Monitoring Network (Network) to assure effective stewardship of ocean resources. The National Water Quality Monitoring Council of the Advisory Committee on Water Information was asked to design such a Network, in part because of its broad membership, including federal, tribal, state and local agencies, water associations, universities and the private sector. The proposed Network shares many attributes with ongoing monitoring efforts but is unique in that it uses an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to address a broad range of resource components, from upland watersheds to offshore waters. Key design features include:

• Clear objectives linked to management questions • Linkage to the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) • Flexibility in design over time • Importance of metadata, quality assurance, comparable methods and ready access

The Network provides critical information about the quality of coastal waters and their tributaries at regional and national scales, but does not incorporate or replace all ongoing water quality monitoring. State and local agencies must continue to meet many regulatory and local needs, (e.g., monitoring for drinking water) that will be outside the scope of the Network. However, many existing state and regional monitoring programs may well become “network compliant” and both contribute to and benefit from the National Network.

Table 3-2 in the Executive Summary (available at the NWQMC exhibit booth) provides an at-a- glance overview of the Network design by resource component, including estuaries, nearshore, offshore, Great Lakes, rivers, ground water, atmospheric deposition, beaches and wetlands. Constituents to be monitored include physical characteristics, inorganic and organic chemical concentrations, and biological conditions. Continuity of measurements among all resource components will provide a better understanding of the linkages among resources.

Full implementation of the Network will require the use of data collected by a number of federal, tribal, state, local, academic, and private sources. Data must be comparable to allow integration into a coherent assessment of the condition of and trends in the quality of the Nation’s coastal waters and their tributaries. The use of models to interpret environmental data will facilitate understanding of complex environmental issues.

Plenary talks, special sessions and exhibits throughout the conference will provide opportunities for you to learn more about the Network design, and to provide important feedback to the National Water Quality Monitoring Council.

ELIZABETH JESTER FELLOWS AWARD ANNOUNCEMENT

Elizabeth J. Fellows headed the Assessment and Watershed Protection Division in USEPA’s Office of Water. She dedicated her career to natural resources management and environmental protection including envisioning the creation of the National Council. She was an effective advocate for developing a nationwide framework for coordinating, collecting, assessing, and communicating water quality monitoring information and results. In her memory, the National Water Quality Monitoring Council has established the Elizabeth Jester Fellows Award to recognize individuals for outstanding achievement, exemplary service, and distinguished leadership in the field of water quality monitoring.

In recognition of her contributions to water quality monitoring, the NWQMC is pleased to present the 2006 Elizabeth Jester Fellows Award to

Eleanor Ely Editor The Volunteer Monitor

In recognition of her contributions to water quality monitoring, the National Water Quality Monitoring Council is pleased to present the 2006 Elizabeth Jester Fellows Award to Eleanor Ely, editor of The Volunteer Monitor newsletter.

For sixteen years, Ellie has been the editor and driving force behind The Volunteer Monitor, the national newsletter for those who train and oversee the huge population of citizen volunteers across the country. Volunteer program coordinators all over the U.S. – and in many other countries – rely on the newsletter for technical advice on monitoring, sustaining programs,

2006 National Monitoring Conference-San Jose, CA-EJF AWARD ANNOUNCEMENT

15 training volunteers, and many, many other topics. This newsletter is, in fact, the critical link connecting the thousands of diverse members of the volunteer monitoring community. Ellie’s persistence, patience, and unique editorial ensure that her publication is timely and timeless, an invaluable resource for the entire monitoring community, from volunteer to professional.

Ellie devotes a tremendous amount of time, effort, and energy into writing, editing, and producing each issue of The Volunteer Monitor newsletter. She has a critical eye for details, and researches and thoroughly masters each newsletter topic – from data management to bacteria monitoring. Most remarkably, Ellie can translate the most arcane bureaucratic doublespeak or scientific technospeak into plain, clearly understandable English. She cares very much about the newsletter’s technical and editorial quality, and is just as wholly dedicated to the volunteer monitoring movement itself; she knows more about individual volunteer monitoring programs and their leaders than any other person in the U.S. She is always eager to share her knowledge, experience, and connections with others, and to help forward the cause of volunteer environmental monitoring.

Ellie is a gifted writer, editor, and advocate of community-based environmental monitoring. Her selfless effort to enhance and advance the efforts of citizen volunteers has given them a greater voice in protecting and restoring the nation’s water resources. Her colleagues in the volunteer monitoring community nominated her for this award as an expression of their admiration and gratitude.

Congratulations, Ellie!

2006 National Monitoring Conference-San José, CA-AGENDA 27 Tuesday, May 9 5:15 - ? Special Session on National Ground Water Monitoring (Meeting Room A1) The purpose of this brainstorming session is to discuss the formation of a work group to help develop a consistent, nationwide monitoring and assessment program leading to an accurate estimation of ground water stored volume, availability, and sustainability. We will focus on defining the need for coordinated national ground water monitoring and developing recommendations for the planning and initial implementation of such monitoring. See strawman document at http://water.usgs.gov/wicp/acwi/monitoring/workgroups/wci/ 5:15 - 6:30 Volunteer Monitoring Coordinators Meeting (Meeting Room C1) Discussion leaders: Linda Green, USDA-CSREES National Facilitation of Volunteer Monitoring and Alice Mayio, U.S. EPA

This informal meeting is to encourage discussion and networking among volunteer monitoring coordinators. What’s working in the world of volunteer monitoring, what needs more work, and where are we headed? Share some examples of your program successes, challenges, needs and desires! 6:30 - ? Gathering of Volunteer Monitoring Coordinators -- location TBA 7:00 - 9:00 Panel Discussion: Effects of Urbanization on Streams (Meeting Room A8) Facilitator: Cathy Tate, USGS National Water-Quality Assessment Program

This panel discussion will build upon earlier technical sessions on “Evaluating the Effects of Urbanization on Water Quality I & II” and will include 5 to 6 panelists who will provide perspectives on urban water-quality studies that represent the diverse interests of conference attendees. A brief introductory discussion by panel members will be followed by a general Q&A period. We will focus on the following questions: 1) Urban designs...what’s worked, what hasn’t?; 2) What types of data are being collected, what data are most useful in assessing the effects of urbanization on stream quality?; 3) Which data or information are most useful to planners, regulators, and watershed groups, and how is data from urban water quality studies being used by stakeholders?
