3 2007 BMI Monitoring Switch to RWB sample collection per new SWAMP guidance (Feb., 2007) All sampling performed by volunteers, led/overseen by Volunteer Coordinator

4 2007 BMI Monitoring 14 watersheds, 61 sites

5 Besides BMI Sampling Physical habitat assessment Water chemistry (field parameters) QA/QC (QAPP; SWAMP comparable) - incl. independent taxonomic analysis

6 Preliminary B-IBI B Scoring Scheme Table 7. Scoring ranges for the five metrics included in the preliminary Contra Costa County Benthic-IBI and scoring categories that define biotic condition.
