SB 645 Water quality monitoring and reporting.

Introduced by: Mary Margaret Whipple | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Water quality monitoring and reporting. Increases both the number of water quality monitoring stations and the frequency of sampling by at least five percent annually, with priority given to those water bodies for which there is credible evidence showing impairment of the water body. Currently, monitoring and sampling is to be expanded so that the sampling effort will ultimately be representative of all river and stream miles in the state, but with no requirement to specifically expand, by a certain percentage annually, the number of monitoring stations or the frequency of sampling. The expansion of the water quality monitoring is contingent upon the appropriation of adequate funding.
