Watershed Assessment and Monitoring (WAM)

The goals of the Watershed Assessment and Monitoring (WAM) component include:

  • Characterize creek function, health and water quality conditions in representative watersheds in San Mateo County and evaluate potential stormwater runoff impacts.
  • Develop plans to address specific pollutants of concern (POC) associated with stormwater runoff such as mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and perform related special studies.
  • Evaluate long term trends in water quality and thereby inform the Program's efforts to improve the effectiveness of its Best Management Practices (BMPs) to prevent or reduce stormwater runoff impacts.
