| Description | This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) details a methods used by the Department of Ecology (Ecology) to collect continuous temperature monitoring data. It may also contain methods that other entities would find useful for their monitoring work. The scope of the continuous temperature monitoring program currently focuses on summer (June-September) stream temperatures, but will be expanded to year-round as resources allow. The intended purpose of the continuous temperature monitoring program is to collect diel stream temperature data that may be used to expand the interpretation of a station’s ambient monitoring results and to determine its compliance with state water quality standards. The continuous temperature results are assessed using Ecology’s policy for identifying impairments under the federal Clean Water Act (Section 303(d)), which requires stream temperature to be measured on consecutive days in order to apply the criterion. | ||||||
