<strong>Silver</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> <strong>Water</strong>shed TMDL Final Report<br />
11.0 TMDL EVALUATION AND MONITORING PLAN<br />
An ongoing water quality monitoring program will be required to assess the affect <strong>of</strong> clean up<br />
and remediation work in the <strong>Silver</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> watershed. It is anticipated that as clean up progresses,<br />
metal concentrations in the water column will decrease proportionately. Since there is a degree<br />
<strong>of</strong> uncertainty regarding the actual effectiveness <strong>of</strong> any non-point source clean up, actual<br />
monitoring <strong>of</strong> water quality is the best measure <strong>of</strong> success. The table below outlines the<br />
monitoring program planned for <strong>Silver</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> over the next 5 years. The program establishes an<br />
intensive program every 5 th year with quarterly monitoring in the intervening years. The <strong>Division</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> will undertake the sampling and analysis responsibilities for this program.<br />
