City of Santee Forester Creek Water Quality Monitoring

D-Max helped the City of Santee fulfill Proposition 13 Grant monitoring requirements for its Forester Creek Improvement Project.

The project included creek restoration and flood control components, including widening and revegetating the creek channel. D-Max prepared a Sampling Plan, a Quality Assurance Project Plan, the 2005 Annual Monitoring Report, and a Project Assessment and Evaluation Plan. We also conducted water quality monitoring at three sites in the creek on a monthly basis for more than three and a half years. This monitoring included a specially designed trash assessment to meet San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements and a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) component analysis to help the City gather more information about potential causes of the chronically elevated TDS readings in the creek. At the end of the project, a final report assessing the results of the monitoring was prepared.
