Recommendations to Permittees • Implement/tighten data quality control (QC) protocols
Recommendations to Permittees • Implement/tighten data quality control (QC) protocols • Migrate data collection and management to integrated digital system.
Recommendations to Permittees • Implement/tighten data quality control (QC) protocols • Migrate data collection and management to integrated digital system. • Consider less frequent inspection schedule with own data.
Recommendations to Permittees • Implement/tighten data quality control (QC) protocols • Migrate data collection and management to integrated digital system. • Consider less frequent inspection schedule with inspection data. • Revisit the definitions of a circuit.
Recommendations to Ecology and SWG • Standardize the definition of a catch basin to improve use of inspection data.
Recommendations to Ecology and SWG • Standardize the definition of a catch basin to improve use of inspection data. • Conduct field study of CB dynamics to allow for long-term, science- based prediction of CB sediment accumulation.
