Statistics The following statistics will be presented: • Areas of concern will be numbered by site position and geographically correlated to a map • A statistical summary of the detected areas Further uses of an Environmental Assessment Over,light Ultimately,completion of the EAO serves as a starting point for prioritization of lake or river management activities. Long-term applications of the EAO include use as: 1. A resource management tool to aid in planning and zoning issues,as well as to protect property values 2. A historical data-base,which allows for comparison of fture conditions 3. An easily understood means of showing individuals their effect upon the environment,and for targeting geographical areas or activities for future educational activities 4. A rapid method of reviewing a particular location without actually going into the field,and a method for reducing the costs of chemical analysis by identifying areas of known problems(or high quality)prior to developing a sampling regime 5. A method of identifying the ni nitude and importance and subsequent prioritization of environmental concerns draining the various sub-watersheds entering the river and stream system. This will enable the District monitoring these target areas to prioritize their efforts in further investigation of the pollution sources Performance Specifications The following commitments and conditions are to be met by A.W.Research Laboratories on acceptance of this bid: 1. All the materials,supplies,labor,transportation,etc.will be provided by A.W. Research Laboratories 2. The data will be collected with the following film: a. Visible 35 mm film b. Hyperspectral video,consisting of • Chlorophyll a • Water Penetrating • Near IR • Thermal 3. The final report will contain the following: a.
