This
paper
provides
general
guidance
for
establishing
procedures
to
ensure
data
quality,
develop
baseline
and
maintenance
monitoring
programs,
and
analyze
and
manage
the
water
quality
data
obtained
through
these
programs.
In
general,
PWD
leveraged
existing
monitoring
programs
and
historical
data
and
added
monitoring
locations
to
obtain
needed
information
to
complete
the
baseline
database.
The
maintenance
monitoring
sampling
parameters,
locations
and
frequencies,
and
laboratory
analyses
were
selected
based
on
the
results
of
the
baseline
monitoring
program.
The
maintenance
monitoring
sampling
parameters,
methods,
locations
and
frequencies
are
largely
based
on
the
existing
routine
monitoring
program
because
PWD’s
routine
monitoring
program
provides
(1)
adequate
coverage
of
the
detectable
contaminants,
(2)
continuous
water
quality
data,
and
(3)
the
maintenance
of
sampling
and
laboratory
analysis
capabilities
