conducted by a consortium of local<br />

water quality monitoring entities<br />

including the University of Toledo,<br />

TESD, and the US Army Corps of<br />

Engineers (ACOE), and involving Ohio<br />

EPA with oversight being provided by<br />

the RAP Implementation Committee.<br />

To have a relatively even workload<br />

each year, which could be useful <strong>for</strong> a<br />

long-term monitoring program, a<br />

specific group of sites could be studied<br />

each year with the objective of rotating<br />

back to the initial set of sites every fifth<br />
