This handbook is designed to be an overview of stream monitoring information. It is NOT designed as a replacement for lab and field training sessions. If you would like additional training or have any suggestions about other materials that would be helpful, please contact the coordinator.

It is easy to forget some details when monitoring quarterly. Although you are a certified monitor, you may want some review of the details of sampling and identification. You are encouraged to join other monitors or invite other monitors to join you. If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the coordinator.

This handbook is broken into four sections: safety, general information, equipment, biological and chemical monitoring information. Below is the table of contents.
