This two hour and 45 minute interactive workshop focussed on field methods of water quality monitoring in acid mine drainage impaired streams. The workshop was led by a panel of experienced water quality monitoring professionals and covered such topics as:

• developing a sampling plan for watershed characterization
• pre- and post-AMD treatment monitoring
• monitoring equipment
• quality assurance and quality control

The workshop allowed for a question and answer session on AMD monitoring techniques and issues.

Workshop was led by:

Jen Bowman - Environmental Project Manager, Ohio University's Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs
Ben McCament - Raccoon Creek Watershed Coordinator, Ohio University's Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs
