Monitoring Progress. The Research Outcome does not have a numerical target so assessing progress is more qualitative. The overarching topic is to “Continually increase our understanding of the impacts and mitigation options for toxic contaminants”. There are two supporting items in the outcome to provide a qualitative assessment of progress: • Further characterize the occurrence, concentrations, sources and effects of mercury, PCBs and other contaminants of emerging and widespread concern. • Identify which best management practices might provide multiple benefits of reducing nutrient and sediment pollution as well as toxic contaminants in waterways. Monitoring our progress for these items is based on completion of planned actions and meeting their associated performance targets that are listed in the Logic and Action Plan.
