The Tier. I Monitoring Area includes a large part of the Snake Valley hydrographic area, extending from Xxxxxx Spring at the northern end of Snake Valley to the southern boundary of the Snake Valley hydrographic area. The Tier I Monitoring Area includes parts of Nevada and Utah adjacent to the SNWA proposed points of diversion, areas of current agricultural use, and KABCs. The Parties anticipate that effects to groundwater levels and groundwater-influenced ecosystems that may result from groundwater pumping by SNWA will first occur within the Tier I Monitoring Area. Therefore, monitoring efforts will be greatest in the Tier I Monitoring Area and will include a higher density of monitoring sites, and greater scope and frequency of data collection to ensure early detection of effects resulting from SNWA groundwater withdrawals in Snake Valley. Biologic, hydrologic, and air-quality monitoring requirements for the Tier I Monitoring Area are specified in this Appendixes 1, 2 and 3. Specific biologic, hydrologic, and air-quality parameters were selected for monitoring based on their susceptibility to be influenced by changing groundwater conditions.
