Annual List of Sites of Concern
In 2023, Watershed Watch began providing a list of Sites of Concern to the Kentucky Division of Water. Sites can be included on the list when multiple sampling results demonstrate exceedances of related water quality criteria or benchmarks. General stream observations and surrounding land uses are also considered.
Watershed Watch plans to continue to present this annual list to the Division of Water in an effort to partner on coordinated efforts to improve water quality. Although KYWW data cannot be used for regulatory purposes, the Division can use it for screening purposes and may follow up on concerns with a site visit or further sampling.
Volunteers who wish to have their stream location included on the annual list of concern should contact KYWW at contact@kywater.org. Currently, the list is presented to Division staff in July.
For consideration, it will be helpful for sampling volunteers to prepare the following information:
Sampling data in comparison to any related benchmarks or criteria (preferably from multiple sampling visits and from multiple locations)
Photos of the sampling location
Suspected contributors to the water quality problem
Proposed solutions to the water quality problem
