What should be included in a Ground Water Monitoring Program?
A Ground Water Monitoring Program should include a Project Description, Recharge Area Characterization, Evaluation of Potential Impacts, Water Quality Monitoring Program, and Management Practices. In 2006, along with assistance from IDWR, DEQ prepared “Guidance for Developing a Ground Water Quality Monitoring Program for Managed Recharge Projects by Land Application” which describes all elements that DEQ will consider in reviewing a monitoring program. The guidance is NOT A RULE; it is intended to assist parties interested in developing a recharge project by land application and includes examples of two approved monitoring programs. > Link to Guidance for Developing a Ground Water Quality Monitoring Program for Managed Recharge Projects by Land Application (pdf 2.7 mb, 120 pages).
