Evaluating Waterbody Assessment and Listing Processes: Integration of Monitoring and Evaluative Techniques

Because each state has its own assessment and listing methodology there is no standardized approach. This report provides guidance to states on how to effectively integrate monitoring program design with better data evaluation techniques and data quality management programs and address development of assessment methodologies that are more scientifically defensible. These recommendations are intended to provide a technical resource to the states so they can determine which waterbodies should be designated as impaired and included on their 303(d) lists.
