monitoring, and associated data storage and reporting. Funding for this work is through the City of Port

and determine stream health in a systematic way, the City would like to monitor its fresh water courses
using scientific procedures and a sampling plan To this end, the City would like to use the services of the
County's Streamkeepers program.

quarterly water samples and annual benthic macroinvertebrate samples in the Port Angeles area.
Sampling sites will be agreed upon by Streamkeepers and the City, and will have safe public access.
In the instance that a sampling site is not accessible from a public road or other easement, landowner
permission to access the site for sampling purposes will be obtained by the City.
2. Coordinate quarterly sampling for fecal coliform and annual sampling for benthic macroinvertebrates
for a period of one year beginning in January. Number of sites sampled will depend upon funding
and laboratory costs.
3. Submit samples to laboratories for analysis
a. Fecal coliform samples to the County Environmental Health lab or other certified lab.
b. Benthic macroinvertebrate samples to a taxomic laboratory and QC laboratory, as appropriate.
