28. Please share any additional comments on state-wide or regional ground water quality monitoring networks in your state?

Our ambient monitoring program was initiated in the late 80's and gradually expanded to include 11 monitoring areas, each with about 20 or so wells and/or springs, in various aquifers across the state; they are sampled every 3rd year, and the plan is to begin sampling each area every 2nd year. Other areas may be added, but we are at capacity right now, since we only have a staff of two, and are responsible for overseeing remediation projects and providing tech assistance to other divisions at ADEQ and other agencies in addition to sampling the ambient network. Unfortunately, we have both been here less than a year so we're not as well-informed about the history of the program and standard procedures as we'd prefer, at this stage. One of the main shortcomings of the program that we are actively working to rectify is the lack of a comprehensive database of the ambient gw monitoring data; most data is in disparate formats and in varied locations at present. Next will come development of SOPs for sampling, data analysis, and database maintenance.

1. For what state, do your responses apply?

California

2. Please consider throughout the survey that (1) the interest is in identifying monitoring networks that are NOT targeted to known contaminated sites, e.g. Superfund sites; and (2) the term "regional" is meant to refer to monitoring networks that cover large, multi-county areas within a state.

28. Please share any additional comments on state-wide or regional ground water quality monitoring networks in your state?

A. We currently only manage a truly statewide network along coastal reaches to detect saltwater intrusion. B. We also maintain a statewide water level network by the Delaware Geological Survey, who filled out a similar survey to this. C. We are working to utilize data from the SDWIS maintained by the state's drinking water program once (1) we are able to pinpoint "raw" data from public supply wells and (2) we have ready access to the state or federal SDWIS. Since almost all systems are ground water based, we believe this will serve as a sufficient statewide network at nominal cost.

28. Please share any additional comments on state-wide or regional ground water quality monitoring networks in your state?

From 1984-early 2004 monitoring activities used a generally static network with various sites visited yearly, semiannually, or biennially during various time periods. In 2004, this went to a three-year cycle, with the Brunswick and Surficial aquifers in coastal area being the object for year one; the Piedmont and Blue Rige being the object for year two; and small public water systems statewide being the object for year three. Analyte suites have also varied: 1984-1998 -- metals, major anions +/- VOCs, SVOCs, pesticides; 1998 - 2004 -- VOCs and NOx; 2005 -- pesticides, NO3, TDS, salinity (coastal study); 2006-2007 -- VOCs, major anions, P-total, major and trace metals to include U (Piedmont/Blue Ridge and small public systems studies).

The Kentucky Statewide Ambient Groundwater Monitoring Network is an "umbrella" title for integrating the various groundwater monitoring projects that we conduct. The network was established in 1995 and along with sites we've monitored regularly since then, we've incorporated other projects into this system, including CWA Section 319 Nonpoint Source groundwater studies, monitoring conducted through an MOA with the Division of Pesticides, as well as monitoring/sampling conducted for complaints, assistance, and in response to environmental spills. Most, if not virtually all, of the data collected on these latter projects really represents ambient groundwater conditions. By design, Kentucky's groundwater monitoring is a dynamic and flexible system, rather than a static network of sites. Furthermore, and importantly, all groundwater monitoring activities conducted by various agencies throughout the state are coordinated, per legislation passed in 1998, by the Interagency Technical Advisory Committee on Groundwater. This group of groundwater professionals from about a dozen entities with varying interests has proven to be an invaluable tool in our monitoring efforts.

The USGS has been systematically monitoring ground-water levels since 1936 and currently has a statewide network of 98 ground-water-level monitoring wells, 10 of which provide real-time ground-water-level data on the web. Given the large number of wells, this state is well positioned to institute ground-water quality sampling. Just wanted you to know this.

It looks like this version of the survey was adapted from the water-level/water-quantity survey. Questions 10-17 really apply more to measurement frequencies in targeted contaminant monitoring efforts than they might to large, regional, ambient monitoring networks where sampling frequencies might be several years. We are attempting to sample wells in our network once every 8-10 years for common constituents and trace metals. Nitrate samples may be collected more frequently depending on the location. The primary restraint on collecting more samples is funding.

The Nebraska Statewide Ground Water Monitoring Network (SGWMN) is composed of 1438 ground water wells of various uses which are monitored mostly by local Natural Resources Districts (NRDs). Local concerns and budget variations mean that techniques and analyses vary somewhat over the state, but the intent is to establish a network that is monitored regularly (normally, at least annually) for basic parameters such as nitrate and with at least basic quality assurance. Over time, it is hoped that the network can be expanded to include additional parameters and/or frequency of monitoring.

28. Please share any additional comments on state-wide or regional ground water quality monitoring networks in your state?

Funding for groundwater quality monitoring is almost entirely state funds and has been dramatically reduced over the last 10 years. It has been cut from approximately $600,000 per year to $200,000. We used to have a statewide assessment program we now only do monitoring in state Groundwater Quality Management areas. A big reason for this is lack of EPA or federal support for ambient groundwater quality monitoring or any federal regulatory drivers. For example, areas not meeting water quality standards are not listed on the 303d list as are surface waters. There is also an incorrect perception that the Safe Drinking Water program somehow covers groundwater. That is true however only for public water supplies.

I'll leave in answers for 4 - 17, but I answered as if for WATER LEVEL MEASURING. --So, to answer 4 - 17 for Water Quality SAMPLING: Overall network is currently 2500, of which 100 to 150 are sampled no more frequently than once a year and approximately 650 are sampled once every four years. Of the 100 to 150, approx. 75% have 5 years or more of analyses. Of the other 2350 to 2400, approx. 15 - 20% have 5 years or more of analyses. However, we do have 55,333 wells with analyses (with 15-20% of these having 5 or more years of analyses).

28. Please share any additional comments on state-wide or regional ground water quality monitoring networks in your state?

There is currently no state-operated groundwater quality monitoring program of a regional or state-wide scale in Washington State. One regional scale network for nitrate is operated by a tri-county organization in central Washington in response to wide-spread >10 mg/L detections (technical support from USGS). Plans for a formal state gw monitoring program are currently under consideration, but it may be initially operated on a "rotating basin" approach, eventually building out to a state-wide trend monitoring program (focused on nitrate).
