In November 2001, the District began collecting biweekly grab samples at 19 water quality monitoring stations in tributaries upstream of the St. Lucie River and Estuary. There are no active mandates or permits governing the sampling requirements for this project. All stations are visited bi-weekly. The water quality data obtained under this program will be used to: Establish a water quality baseline for the tributaries, determine the effectiveness of voluntary BMPs, and Aid in pollution source identification. The monitoring program will also support the development, calibration, and verification of a watershed water quality model, and support the basin monitoring requirements of the 1999 Florida Watershed Restoration Act (403.067 FS). |
