Common use of Monitoring Objectives Clause in Contracts

Monitoring Objectives. The monitoring objectives outlined in the Plan include assessments of both the implementation and effectiveness of gravel enhancements under Interim Measure 7. Field observations related to implementation were intended to answer three primary questions: 1. Were placement methods cost-effective and implemented within the proposed budget constraints? 2. Were placement procedures safe and effective for getting gravel placed in the intended locations and quantities? 3. Were there any unanticipated problems in either the implementation or the effectiveness of the placements? Effectiveness monitoring was intended to evaluate whether the placed gravel distributed and sorted as intended given the flow regime experienced during the performance period (October through June). Effectiveness monitoring was designed to provide data to answer the following specific gravel distribution/sorting questions for each gravel placement site:  Did the flows that occurred since the previous gravel placement result in movement (scour) of the placed gravel?  Did the flows that occurred since the previous gravel placement result in a change in channel cross section (net scour or aggradation) across the gravel placement site or some distance downstream?  Did the gravel placement result in a change in substrate composition across the gravel placement site or some distance downstream? Methods used for both implementation and effectiveness monitoring are described below.
