Design WorkgroupNational Monitoring Network
Introduction Overview of Progress to Date Al Korndoerfer, Chair of Design
Workgroup
Applying Charge from CEQ 10 Resource Areas Concentrated on first two
Environmental Issues Oxygen Depletion Nutrient Enrichment
Developed Geographic Areas of concern
Developed Parameter list from charge & existing programs
Oxygen Depletion
Parameter list, sampling frequency, spatial resolution, probabilistic vs.. Targeted, sampling protocols
See spreadsheet
Nutrient Enrichment Parameter list, sampling
frequency, spatial resolution, probabilistic vs. Targeted, sampling protocols
See spreadsheet
Next Steps Finalize design of first two
environmental issues for all resource areas Decide whether rivers are to be
fully characterized within NMN or only monitored for loading to coastal/estuaries.
Expand concept to remaining environmental issues
