Abstract
One of the functions of the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) is to review projects that may have interstate impacts on water resources in the Susquehanna River Basin. SRBC established a monitoring program in 1986 to collect data that were not available from monitoring programs implemented by state agencies in New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. The state agencies do not assess all of the interstate streams and do not produce comparable data needed to determine potential impacts on the water quality of interstate streams. SRBCs ongoing interstate monitoring program is partially funded through a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The interstate water quality monitoring program includes periodic collection of water and biological samples from interstate streams, as well as assessments of their physical habitat.
