Organizational Meeting Minutes Water Quality News The Citizen Water Quality Monitoring Group is beginning a new phase in their monitoring program. The Monitoring Teams will be monitoring from docks on our creeks rather than from boats on the water as in the past. The teams have taken this coarse of action after experiencing difficulties getting out on the water last year due to the weather. For this reason the Group is requesting anyone who would be interested in, or would desire having a Monitoring Team (2 fellow DCA Members) use their dock once a month for approximately 30 to 45 minutes for the purpose of monitoring please contact Skip Kramb the Quality Assurance Officer to set this up. No one from the Water Monitoring Group will be authorized to enter anyone's property with explicit permission from the property owner to do this monitoring. No small advantage to participating in this project is that you will receive an analysis of the creek water at the end of your dock. All DCA Member Monitors are certified by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and this monitoring analysis is completely free of charge and occurs on a scheduled monthly basis. Skip Kramb may be contacted as follows:
