The monitoring plan is designed as a coordinated effort among USBR, USFWS, USGS, CVRWQCB, CDFG, and SLD-MWA. The monitoring plan has been designed to incorporate, where possible, the existing monitoring efforts of participating agencies. The monitoring plan is conceived as a working document which will be modified periodically, based on a review of the data relative to the project objectives and commitments. Should certain monitoring efforts appear to add little to the understanding of conditions resulting from this project, they may be reduced or eliminated.
