Common use of Field Monitoring Clause in Contracts

Field Monitoring. Several field monitoring procedures will be conducted throughout the term of this Agreement. In particular, the starting and ending dates of salmon spawning may be monitored each year as described in Appendix J. Annual monitoring may also be used to identify when the Steelhead Fry Protection Period begins and/or ends. Fry stranding surveys may be conducted during the peak fry vulnerability periods to monitor fry stranding levels. All field monitoring studies shall be developed by consensus of the FCC and shall be conducted by a monitoring team composed of at least one representative of the City and at least one representative of another Party. 6.7.2.1 Whenever disputes arise regarding the data collected in field studies or the interpretation of that data within or between the FCC or the Field Monitoring team, the default start and end dates established in Sections 6.3.2.1 and 6.3.3.1 of this Agreement shall prevail. 6.7.2.2 Salmon Spawning Start and End Dates This Agreement specifies default start and end dates for salmon spawning. The City may elect to conduct annual surveys that will provide site specific data required to either delay the start or advance the end dates according to criteria listed in Appendix J. Surveys will be conducted as needed at index locations and/or reaches predetermined by the FCC. These surveys will be conducted at the direction of the FCC, acting through a Field Monitoring team as described in Appendix ▇. 3.3.1 will be implemented in the case of start date or maintained in the case of end date on the default dates unless the surveys indicate that spawning activity (according to evidence described in Appendix J) has begun or ceased, respectively. If survey observations are determined to be unreliable, the default dates shall determine the start or end of ▇▇▇▇ protection measures.
