Stream Team has recently created water
quality reports of our currently monitored
stream sites. They are organized
by jurisdiction (city or county) in which
the sites are located. We are pleased
to offer these reports to the public to
communicate our water quality data.
The reports can be accessed
on the PCD website here:
piercecd.org/248/Stream-Monitoring or below:
For questions about the reports, or to become a volunteer stream monitor, please contact:

Spring Stream
Monitoring
Schedules:
- Quarterly monitors may schedule
their spring monitoring between
March 21, 2018 and June 14,
2018.
- Bimonthly monitors are scheduled
to monitor their streams in March
and May.
- Early spring stream flows tend to
be higher and faster than during
summer and early fall, so be careful
when entering streams to collect
samples and take stream measurements.
- Volunteers are also encouraged to
run replicate tests once or twice a
year. The replicate testing includes
the dissolved oxygen, pH, and
nitrate tests. We can provide extra
sample bottles if you are planning
on doing replicates.
