Quality Assurance Project Plan
Quartermaster Harbor Nitrogen Management Study The Quartermaster Harbor (QMH) Nitrogen Management Study QAPP provides an overview of all project activities 2009-2012. This study will be monitoring precipitation, stream gauging, water quality and water quantity data within the Quartermaster Harbor drainage area to assess potential impacts to the harbor.
The study will be conducted in three phases starting 2009 through 2012. Phase 1 will be to estimate the nitrate loadings from various potential sources using existing data and published literature values and by preliminary water quality sampling of streams, groundwater and marine waters. Phase 2 will build upon the results of Phase 1 to include additional existing and new information on potential sources of other nitrates, as well as data from water-quality sampling of marine water, ground water, and surface water. Phase 3 is to link the nitrogen loadings to QMH dissolved oxygen levels and by simulating the effects of nitrogen management scenarios on QMH. These policy implementation scenarios will be transferable to similar rural areas in Puget Sound where inputs of nutrients from small streams, OSS and direct ground-water discharge flow are impacting the receiving waters.
