Abstract	Long Description
	This plan describes the on-going Aquatic Plant Monitoring Program, its objectives, and how those objectives will be achieved. Objectives of the Aquatic Plant Monitoring Program are to: Inventory waterbodies for invasive non-native species, focusing on plants listed by the Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board (Chapter 16-750 WAC), and the Washington Department of Agriculture′s list of quarantined plants (Chapter 16-752 WAC). Map vegetation populations in lakes and rivers to audit projects funded by the Aquatic Weed Management Fund. Quantify the plant community when more detailed studies are undertaken, such as looking at efficacy of weed control methods. Inventory waterbodies to determine native plant species. This Quality Assurance Project Plan details the types of data collected to satisfy the program′s requirements and describes methods for data analysis.
