Skagit
County Monitoring Program
The Skagit County Monitoring Program is an extension of the Skagit
County Baseline Monitoring Plan conducted from July 2001 through September
2003. The Skagit County Monitoring Program was established by County
Resolution R20030210 and is intended to determine the water quality
conditions and trends in agricultural-area streams in Skagit County.
The results will be used as a tool in assessing the effectiveness of
County Ordinance O20030020, Critical Areas Regulation for Ongoing Agriculture.
The study began in October 2003, is being conducted by Skagit County
Public Works Surface Water Management Section through September 2009.

Samish
Bay Watershed Water Quality Monitoring Project Final Report
The Samish Bay Watershed Water Quality Monitoring Project was initiated
to try to determine sources of shellfish contamination in Samish Bay,
Skagit County, Washington. In 1988, under guidance from the 'Nonpoint
Rule' WAC 400-12, the Samish Watershed was given third priority ranking
for controlling non-point pollution in Skagit County.

BaseLine Monitoring Project (River and Stream Data)
The Baseline Monitoring Project, conducted by the Skagit County
Public Works Department Surface Water Management Section, monitored
water quality in streams flowing in agricultural lands of the county
from July 2001 through September 2003. The goal was to establish a baseline
that characterized streams in Skagit County's agricultural areas and
provided a foundation to identify trends in watershed health in the
agricultural areas of the Samish and Skagit River Basins. The link above
leads to the final data from the Baseline study and the Baseline Final
Report. (For more information contact Rick Haley, Water Quality Analyst,
