Details of the water quality monitoring program, and a detailed description of the methodologies used can be found in the Stormwater Collaborative's 2023 Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP). Our monitoring guidelines are at this link: Monitoring-Guidelines-Rev7-08-15-23final.pdf
In July 2018, the Buzzards Bay NEP issued a report, Lessons learned in the implementation of the Buzzards Bay Stormwater Collaborative effort to map and monitor stormwater discharges [updated in 2019], describing successes and challenges faced during implementation of the project.
Updated original Water Quality Data ReportsIn 2018, the NEP created a discharge report for each of the five original stormwater collaborative municipality pursuant to the BBAC's EPA Healthy Communities grant. These reports included stormwater quality data, dry weather inspection information, maps based on collected stormwater infrastructure GIS data, identification of possible illicit connections, and recommended priorities for municipal action to manage these stormwater discharges. Each year we update these reports for participating municipalities. We continue to update these reports and expand our coverage area. Below are the latest reports. Check the interactive map to see if there is more recent information for a particular site.
