Watershed; and
WHEREAS, the DMAs have agreed to collectively employ the RVCOG to administer and manage the
implementation of a water quality testing program which targets the identification of non-point pollution sources
along Bear Creek.
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the terms, conditions, stipulations and covenants herein contained,
the PARTIES do mutually agree as follows:
A. TIME OF PERFORMANCE
This agreement shall take effect on July 1, 2004 and terminates on June 30,2005. At that time, pending

ATTACHMENT A
I. LOCATIONS MONITORED
1. In this study RVCOG will conduct instream water quality monitoring at the following sites:
*
The mouths of Ashland Creek, Bear Creek (Kirkland Road), Butler Creek, Coleman Creek, Griffin Creek,
Jackson Creek, Larson Creek, Lone Pine Creek, Neil Creek, Payne Creek, and Wagner Creek. (TMDL
Run)
*
Headwaters of Bear Creek, Ashland Creek at Lithia Park, Bear Creek at South Valley View Road, Bear
Creek at West Valley View Road by Lynn Newbry Park, Bear Creek at Fern Valley Road R.V. Park,
Lazy Creek at Highland Road, Bear Creek at Ninth Street, Bear Creek at Pine Street, Jackson Creek at
Scenic Road, Baby Bear Creek at Bear Creek Park. (Routine Run)
*
The Irrigation Diversions for the Talent, Medford and Rogue River Valley Irrigation Districts.
2.
The total number of regular monitoring locations will be 24. These monitoring locations will be reviewed
on approximately a quarterly basis with changes made only through agreement of all the PARTIES.
3.
Additional "hot spot" monitoring will be completed on those tributaries which exhibit any unusual high
readings of the parameters being measured. The purpose of the "hot spot" monitoring will be limited to
identifying the general location of the source of pollution contamination only. The appropriate DMA
will be notified of the problem and its general location in order to take action to correct the contributing
problem.
4.
This program will also include the monitoring of storm drains. The number of sites per DMA are as
follows: City of Ashland (3), City of Central Point (2), City of Jacksonville (2), City of Medford (4), City
of Phoenix (2), City of Talent (2). Some locations are currently being changed, but the number of sites
per city is the same. Exact locations of sites will be determined between each DMA and RVCOG. The
scope of this contract agreement does not include follow-up monitoring for identified problems. Any
additional monitoring by RVCOG will need to be negotiated on a case by case basis.
II. SAMPLING FREQUENCY
1. Sampling will be performed at the 16 TMDL sites on a twice monthly basis during the "non-compliance"
season (April 1 to October 31) and once monthly during the "compliance" season. The total number of
sampling runs under this contract will be 19.
2. Sampling will be performed at the 10 Routine sites on a monthly basis. Total number of sampling runs
will be 12.
3. "Hot Spot" monitoring will occur on an as needed basis.
4. The Storm Drain monitoring program will visit each sample collection site a maximum of 3 times
and samples will be collected if effluent is flowing from the site. The first samples will be taken
during "dry weather flows" before the first rains of the season. The second set of samples will be
collected soon after the first storm event of the season that creates surface runoff and the third
sample will be taken approximately 60 days after sample number two.
III. PARAMETERS SAMPLED
1. The TMDL parameters sampled and tested include: Temperature, Conductivity, E. coli, pH, Turbidity,
Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Dissolved Oxygen, Ammonia, and Total Phosphate.
2. Routine parameters: Temperature, Turbidity, Total Suspended Solids (TSS), E. coli, and pH. Note: Only
E. coli samples are collected at Site Routine 10 (Baby Bear Creek).
3. StOlID Drain monitoring program will sample and analyze for total phosphate, BODS, pH and E. coli.
IV. METHODS
I. The sampling and testing procedures used will be approved in writing by the Department of
Environmental Quality. The program will operate under a QA/QC program in collaboration with the
D EQ and the results from the program will meet or exceed the requirements of the D EQ. The equipment
used in the testing of these parameters has been received under a DEQ grant and approved by DEQ. The
lab used for analysis will be provided by the City of Medford Wastewater Treatment Laboratory. This
contract is conditional upon the availability of this lab.
2.
The general analysis methods that will be employed are:
Temperature - measured by meter, calibrated thermometers and/or continuous instream recorders.
Conductivity - measured by conductivity meter.
Fecal Coliform - measured using membrane filter and incubation method.
E. Coli testing will be made with the Colilert system with approval ofDEQ
pH - measured by pH meter.
Turbidity - using calibrated turbidity meter.
Total Suspended Solids - filter through 0.4 um filter and determine filtrate weight after drying.
Dissolved Oxygen - measured by modified Winkler titration method.
Ammonia - phenate method with final concentration determined using spectrophotometer.
Phosphorous-modified ascorbic acid method with final concentration determined using a
spectrophotometer
BODS - S day incubation at 68F using Poly Seed inoculum as described in Standard Methods
Flow - determined using calibrated staff gauges placed in the stream bed or by use of a
calibrated collection device in the case of storm drain sampling.

V. REPORTS
1. Reporting will be done in three formats. First, ongoing meetings (approximately quarterly) will occur
