This document describes a quality assurance monitoring plan for conducting a statewide, probability based sampling program. The goal of the monitoring is to provide quantitative, statistically valid, and consistent estimates of the status and trends in the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of Washington’s rivers and streams. The data collected under this plan can be used to report on the health of salmonid habitat.
