Description:
This document outlines the proposed implementation plan for the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program's Surface Waters Northeast Pilot Lake Survey, to be conducted in July through September, 1991. he pilot survey will evaluate not only the utility of the indicators selected thus far for the Surface Waters component, but will provide an evaluation of the methods that have been identified for collection and analysis of samples. This implementation plan is not intended to be a step by step delineation of field activities planned for the pilot; for more detailed discussion of concept, approach, and issues, please refer to either the Surface Waters Research Plan (Paulsen et al., 1991) or the respective subject plans (i.e., the quality assurance project plan, the field operations manual, the information management plan). his plan outlines the objectives of the field pilot activities and the questions which we expect to answer as a result of these activities. n addition, the plan contains a description of the indicators, the measurement variables included in each indicator the design rationale, and details including site selection criteria and a list of selected sites. ery brief descriptions of quality assurance, logistical considerations, and the information management approach are also presented.
