The Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) was asked by the Non-tidal
Water Quality Workgroup of the Chesapeake Bay Program Monitoring and Analysis
Subcommittee to discuss approaches and develop recommendations to improve the
spatial representativeness of monitoring sites. This information would be useful in
enhancing network design and in prioritizing the selection of future monitoring sites. More specifically, the stated purpose of this evaluation was to address the following broad questions: a) What guidelines should be considered by the CBP Non-tidal Workgroup to address the needs for spatial representativeness and selection of new sites for the network? and b) What changes need to be made to the spatial network to meet multiple network objectives and data analysis tools/models?
