Development of Monitoring Procedures Sample Clauses

Development of Monitoring Procedures. River channel morphology will respond to changes in flow and sediment regimes unless hardened by hydromodification or natural bedrock/boulders. Channel change in response to reduced gravel recruitment can include channel degradation, substrate coarsening and channel narrowing. River channels may also respond to individual hydrologic or geomorphic events and exhibit short-term fluctuations that are not indicative of long-term trends. Monitoring of the mainstem Skagit River will be designed to identify long-term trends in channel change and differentiate trends from short-term fluctuations. Potential channel change in the mainstem Skagit River will be evaluated by surveying channel cross-sections at gravel bars downstream and immediately upstream of the Xxxxx River confluence. Transects will be surveyed to actual elevations (NAVD 88) during summer low flow conditions. The number, location and frequency of transect measurements will be developed in consultation with the ARG and identified in the implementation plan to be prepared following approval of the BRGMP. In addition to surveying the elevation of select transects, the composition and condition of gravel/cobble-sized material will be monitored at mainstem Skagit River gravel bars downstream and immediately upstream of the Xxxxx River confluence. Gravel condition will be assessed in relation to the biological needs of salmonids and other aquatic organisms using the middle Skagit River. Measurement techniques will be identified in the implementation plan but may consist of multiple pebble counts taken at gravel bars that support salmonid spawning activity. Subsurface sampling using a XxXxxx sampler is commonly used to determine substrate quality (Xxxxxx and X’Xxxxxx, 2007); however, XxXxxx sampling in a cobble-bed river is problematic and a large number of samples are typically required to obtain data with high precision. Surface sampling using pebble counts can be used to monitor substrate quality in gravel and cobble-bed areas and can also indicate the frequency of bed mobilization. Multiple pebble counts taken from select channel areas can be compiled to develop grain size distribution curves to reflect sediment conditions. A two-stage sampling approach can be used where multiple samples per site will be analyzed separately and then pooled to determine the number of samples needed to characterize sediment conditions within defined confidence intervals. The number, location, timing, frequency and method...

You do not need to submit the information a second time under assistance awards that you received if you already provided the information through XXX because you were required to do so under Federal procurement contracts that you were awarded.

  • Project Delivery Order Procedures The TIPS Member having approved and signed an interlocal agreement, or other TIPS Membership document, may make a request of the awarded vendor under this Agreement when the TIPS Member has services that need to be undertaken. Notification may occur via phone, the web, email, fax, or in person. Upon notification of a pending request, the awarded vendor shall make contact with the TIPS Member as soon as possible, but must make contact with the TIPS Member within two working days. Scheduling of Projects Scheduling of projects (if applicable) may be accomplished when the TIPS Member issues a Purchase Order and/or an Agreement or Contract that will serve as “the notice to proceed” as agreed by the Vendor and the TIPS Member. The period for the delivery order will include the mobilization, materials purchase, installation and delivery, design, weather, and site cleanup and inspection. No additional claims may be made for delays as a result of these items. When the tasks have been completed the awarded vendor shall notify the client and have the TIPS Member or a designated representative of the TIPS Member inspect the work for acceptance under the scope and terms in the Purchase Order and/or Agreement or Contract. The TIPS Member will issue in writing any corrective actions that are required. Upon completion of these items, the TIPS Member will issue a completion notice and final payment will be issued per the contractual requirements of the project with the TIPS Member. Any Construction contract prepared by the TIPS Member’s Legal Counsel may alter the terms of this subsection, “Scheduling of Projects”.
