Study Background/Rationale and Hypotheses:

Through the Scope of Work peer review process, the need was identified for a
process to better define the need and the appropriate methodologies for sediment
data collection and analyses. This Scope of Work was requested by the Program
Director and by the Water Acquisition Committee to address the need for sediment
monitoring and the appropriate levels of effort needed to have a successful program.
Building on the Recovery Program (Program) peer review process, a need was
identified to develop an independent peer review panel to review sediment issues
facing the Program and develop recommendations for the type of data to be collected
and analyzed to meet the needs of the Program,
