AMENDMENT Coddle Creek Reservoir December 15, 1993 Page 5 1.6.3.1.5. reports will be submitted to the Division of Environmental Health (Pest Management Section) upon request. Methodology - Fish populations will be assessed through use of various standard collection techniques including dip nets, seines, minnow traps, etc. The specific method(s) chosen will be based upon a preliminary field review of collection sites and expected species. In every case, the same method(s) will be used for ail species and for every sampling event to reduce the var/ability between populations and events. Individuais of the various fish species will be collected and preserved and returned to the office for identification to species. Total numbers and weight of individuals will be recorded, aiong with notations on field conditions and any. coincidental water quaiity data which may be available for the day of collection. Information on the populations of the fish species will be included in the Event Reports and Annuai Repons for each of the 7 years of monitoring, and copies of these reports will be provided to DEH Pest Management Section upon request. If, based upon any event or annuai report, it becomes apparent that mosquito populations are not adequately being controlled through these specific biologicai means, remedial measures will be recommended in the report(s). Coincidental Water Quality. Monitoring of water quality in the pool of the reservoir will be routinely performed as part of reservoir operation. However, it is important to note that data collected to assess compliance with state and federal drinking water standards will aiso provide insight into the ecological processes that occur in association with lake eutrophication. Evaluation of such data as it becomes available will be conducted as part of the monitoring of the mitigation areas. Data from such sampling will be reviewed and pertinent components included in the Mitigation Monitoring Repons.
