Surveillance and Monitoring Program (SAMP) Revised Final Report

Among other things, the State Recycled Water Policy (SRWP) requires that development of the Salt and Nitrate Management Plan (SNMP) include the following element (SRWP Section 6.b.3 (a)): “A basin/sub‐basin wide monitoring plan that includes an appropriate network of monitoring locations. The scale of the basin/subbasin monitoring plan is dependent upon the sitespecific conditions and shall be adequate to provide a reasonable, cost‐effective means of determining whether the concentrations of salt, nutrients, and other constituents of concern as identified in the salt and nutrient plans are consistent with applicable water quality objectives.” Furthermore, “Salts, nutrients, and the constituents identified in paragraph 6(b)(1)(f) shall be monitored. The frequency of monitoring shall be determined in the salt/nutrient management plan and approved by the Regional Water Board pursuant to paragraph 6(b)(2).”

This report describes the CV‐SALTS Surveillance and Monitoring Program (SAMP), which was developed to meet the monitoring requirements of the SRWP.
