EPA is announcing the region’s 2011 volunteer monitoring equipment loan program open to organizations in New England for which volunteers conduct water quality monitoring.
Please check out the 2011 EPA VM Equipment Loan Announcement and 2011 EPA VM Equipment Loan Application for more information or visit the EPA website.
Keep in mind that the equipment can be used for programs conducted by volunteers and that they will need to have a quality assurance project plan (QAPP) in place, or put in place, or be collecting data under another QAPP. EPA will be happy to provide technical assistance with requirements.
Contact Diane Switzer, EPA 617-918-8377 or switzer.diane@epa.gov with any questions.
