The biological monitoring activities included preparing sampling plans, habitat assessments, benthic macroinvertebrate sampling and fish tissue sampling and analysis. The water quality monitoring required recommending parameters, methods and equipment; preparing a Quality Assurance Project Plan, a Health and Safety Plan and a Sampling and Analysis Plan as well as monitoring and sampling.  The biological monitoring results and the water quality monitoring results were summarized in technical memorandums
