- Description:
-
- Abstract:
- The Washington State Department of Ecology has conducted monthly
water quality monitoring at hundreds of freshwater and marine water
quality stations throughout the state since 1959. Ecology monitors
about 80 stations each year, some on a one-year basis, some on a
five-year rotation, and some are monitored continuously. This
spatial data set shows the location of these monitoring stations.
- Purpose:
- Describe locations of Environmental Assessment Program (formerly
called Environmental Investigations and Laboratory Services Program)
Ambient Freshwater and Marine monitoring Stations.

- Other_Citation_Details:
- The Washington State Department of Ecology collected
monthly water quality information at 86 stream
monitoring stations during Water Year 2001 (October 1,
1999 through September 30, 2001). We also collected
30-minute interval temperature data at 44 sites from
June through September 2001. The principal goals of this
ongoing monitoring are to characterize the rivers and
streams of Washington State and to track changes in
water quality. This report is intended to document
methods and data quality, and to present the data.
