Background

		Basin Monitoring Program Task Force As follow up to the Nitrogen TDS Task Force efforts, a new task force was formed in August 10, 2004 consisting of 17 water and wastewater agencies in the Santa Ana Watershed to compile and collect monitoring data to evaluate the water quality of the Santa Ana River on an annual basis and the groundwater basins throughout the watershed every three years. The 17 agencies responsible for completing these tasks and the actual tasks were included in the RWQCB Basin Plan as a result of the January 2004 Nitrogen and TDS Basin Plan Amendment.

Basin Monitoring Program Task Force The Task Force is administered by the SAWPA and meets monthly. The primary work tasks include the following : Preparation of an annual water quality report for the Santa Ana River Reaches 2, 4 & 5 necessary to assure compliance with both surface water objectives of the defined river reaches & the underlying groundwater objectives. Preparation of a watershed-wide TDS/Nitrogen ambient water quality update every 3 years to determine the current ambient groundwater quality in the watershed for TDS/Nitrogen. The completion of a watershed-wide TDS/Nitrogen groundwater monitoring program & annual SAR report is intended to assess current water quality, to determine whether TDS/Nitrate-Nitrogen water quality objectives for management zones are being met or exceeded & to update assimilative capacity findings.
