Products: Over l oo stakeholders involved in the Water Quality Management Plan, <br />including 17 that guide the project as Project Team Members. Specific nutrient <br />problems identified and mapped by stakeholders. A Nutrient Problem Statement that can <br />be used to build consensus on this complicated issue. <br />Goal :Coordinate expert limnologists to determine baseline conditions, data needs and <br />identify contaminant sources. <br />Objective: Use water quality data collected in the Big Thompson Watershed to assess the <br />severity and extent ofnutrient-related water quality impacts in waterbodies of the Big <br />Thompson Watershed. <br />Task 1: Identify nutrients of concern, related water quality constituents and relevant <br />datasets. A Science and Monitoring Subcommittee was developed to identify the <br />datasets and parameters included in this task. All data sets available within the Big <br />Thompson Watershed were included. Water quality parameters were selected based on <br />EPA recommended nutrient thresholds, promulgated state nutrient standards and Water <br />Quality Control Division guidance documents. <br />Task 2: Establish analytical methodology for nutrients of concern and related water <br />quality constituents. The Science and Monitoring Subcommittee decided to use box and <br />whisker plots to illustrate the median concentration and range of each parameter at each <br />monitoring site. <br />Task 3: Analyze nutrient and related water quality data. Data were analyzed using <br />MINITAB statistical software. The results were provided to the Science and <br />Monitoring Subcommittee, Project Team Members and Forum Board of Directors. <br />Products: Watershed-wide nutrient database including monitoring sites and water <br />quality data. Library of EPA recommended nutrient thresholds, state nutrient standards <br />and Water Quality Control Division guidance documents. Assessment graphs comparing <br />nutrient concentrations in lakes and reservoirs in the Big Thompson Watershed to all <br />recommended nutrient thresholds. <br />Goal :Modify monitoring programs to provide missing data necessary to support the <br />planning process. <br />Objective: Identify water quality and flow data needed to meet developing state <br />nutrient standards and adequately characterize the trophic status of waters of the <br />Big Thompson Watershed. <br />Task 1: Reschedule goal to Phase II of the Management Plan so that changes to <br />monitoring programs can reflect nutrient numeric standards that are being developed <br />by the Water Quality Control Commission. <br />Products: None. <br />7- <br />
