SUBJECT:        Guidance on Preparation of Fiscal Year (FY) 1996 Work 
                Plans for Study Units Started in FY 1991

                     REPLY REQUESTED BY NOVEMBER 6, 1995

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide guidance on program priorities
and the process of preparing FY 1996 budget requests for NAWQA Study Units
that started in FY 1991.

BUDGET STATUS

Congress and the Administration have not reached agreement on the budget
for the Department of Interior (DOI) for FY 1996. The USGS budget passed by
the House and Senate includes a $5.3 million increase for the NAWQA
Program, but until Congress and the Administration agree on a budget for
DOI, bureau and program budgets within the DOI will remain uncertain. We
have received guidance to proceed with program plans assuming the above
budget less five percent or about $ 5.0 million.

BUDGET PROCESS

The FY 1996 budget allocation process will involve three steps:

1. Submittal of Study Unit work plans and budgets through District 
management and the Assistant Regional Hydrologist for NAWQA (ARHN) to the
following individuals by November 6, 1995

     a. NAWQA Leadership Team (NLT): Miller, Wilber, Yurewicz,
        Armbruster, James, Sylvester

     b. NAWQA National Synthesis Team Leaders (NST): Gilliom,
        Helsel, Gurtz, Zogorski, Franke, Lapham;


2. Study-Unit work plans will be reviewed and approved by the NLT by
December 15, 1995.

3. Conference calls units between Study-Unit staff, ARHN, and NST staffs
will be scheduled with 91 study units after conference calls with the 94
study units.  These calls, which will probably be in early January, will
focus on the status of data archival, sampling priorities during the low
intensity phase, and planned reports.

If ARHN's have any other milestones they think are necessary to ensure that
the budget process is completed on time, they will notify study units
separately.

A funding level of about $1.0 million per Study Unit in FY 1996 and
$500,000 to $600,000 per Study Unit in FY 1997 can be used for developing
the work plans. The actual funding for each Study Unit might vary from this
funding level depending on the actual budget allocation for the USGS and
NAWQA for FY 1996, staff requirements to work on data analysis and reports,
and the amount of Low-Intensity-Phase activity in each Study Unit during FY
1996, 
which will be discussed and decided upon during conference calls.

Our goal is to complete the budget process before January 1, 1996, provided
that we have a budget allocation by then. The review by NLT will be done to
ensure that we have maintained a reasonable balance between National and
Study-Unit priorities, that individual Study-Unit designs complement each
other and build to Regional and National synthesis, and that, in aggregate,
we stay within available budget resources.

Paper copies of work plans including report lists and budget tables should
be sent to individuals identified in step 1. a., and 1. b. above.  
Electronic copies of report lists and budget tables also are needed. Please
follow the instructions provided in the topical guidance below for how
electronic copies are to be submitted.

If you have questions, suggestions, or other comments about the budget
process, please contact your ARHN.

WORK PLAN TOPICS

There are three main activities that need to be accomplished during FY 1996
for Study Units that started in FY 1991: (1) Data archival, (2) analysis
and preparation of reports; and (3) Designing and implementing the
Low-Intensity Phase (LIP) 
activities. The archival of data and completion of reports by FY 1991 Study
Units is the highest priority activity for NAWQA in FY 1996 and FY 1997.

Review of work plans will be facilitated if Study Units follow the same
format for providing the requested information. Therefore, I request that
Study Units use the topical outline below to organize the information
provided:

Study Unit WXYZ Work Plan for FY 1996 

I.   Introduction

II.  Status of Data Archival

III.  Report Lists

IV. Low-Intensity Phase Activities

     A. Water-Quality Data Collection

     B. Monitoring Environmental Factors

     C. Monitoring Water-Resources Issues and Management Plans

     D. Documenting and Archiving Information

V.  Budget Tables.

Items and activities preceded by a bullet and listed for each topic in the
guidance that follows, should be addressed in a separate heading under each
topic. Study Units should be concise and provide sufficient information.  
Avoid long descriptions to facilitate more efficient work plan review.

INTRODUCTION

Describe Study-Unit goals for FY 1996, scope of activities, and approaches
that will be used to meet these goals.

It is important to know generally how much resource each Study Unit will be
spending on data documentation and archiving, data analysis and reports,
environmental characterization, and data collection for the LIP. Please
estimate on a percentage basis, how much time will be spent on each
activity and staffing and funding requirements for each.

DOCUMENTING AND ARCHIVING INFORMATION

Archival of NAWQA data has two primary purposes:  aggregating reviewed,
consistently formatted data for national synthesis, and preparing for the
next high-intensity phase study-unit investigation.  Efforts to compile a
data base for national synthesis are ongoing, and will continue with three
data-base requests in FY 96.  More information on these requests will be
forwarded soon.

Four activities are associated with archival of HIP and LIP information.

o Identifying the information to be archived.  At a minimum, the
   following information should be included:  chemical and physical
   measurements made by the study-unit team, data for      
   environmental and human factors that may affect water quality,
descriptions of the sampling-network design, liaison committee minutes,
records of topical quality-assurances experiments, and study-unit workplans
with  annotations describing what was (was not) accomplished.

   Other archived information may consist of: physical specimens,
   descriptions of potential NAWQA spin-off studies, and study-unit
   specific data collection activities.

o  Documenting the information.

   Because raw data are not self explanatory, the archive needs to
   contain information on data sources, modifications, and known
   limitations.

o  Storing the information.  It is expected that most of
   the data will be stored in the NWIS systems.  Currently, NWIS-I is
   used to store site-descriptive, chemical and physical measurements, and
daily flow data.  Other data sets will need to be stored in NWIS-II,  GIS
coverages, or elsewhere such as: environmental setting, habitat, field
land-use/land-cover, species enumeration, and  ancillary factors.  The
NAWQA data dictionary provides guidance on several aspects of storing and
formatting these data.  For non-NWIS data, decisions are needed on format,
medium, and security.

o  Cataloguing the information.  An inventory will be produced of all
   data in the national-synthesis data base during the next couple of
   months.  This inventory will be used during quality assurance
   of the data base, and study units will be involved.  A catalogue
   of other data archive should also be created.

REPORT LISTS

Please provide an updated list of all reports that are planned and/or 
being prepared for your Study Unit using the reports template table
available through anonymous ftp.  Instructions for retrieving the reports
template (mif--maker interchange file) are listed below:

1.  Make sure you are in your home directory or the
    directory where you wish to place the file.
2.  type:  ftp 130.11.51.209 (return)
3.  at the prompt for name, type:  anonymous (return)
4.  at the prompt for password, type:  anonymous (return)
5.  at the ftp>prompt, type:  cd pub (return)
6.  at the next ftp>prompt, type:  cd nawqa (return)
7.  "optional" at the next  ftp> prompt, type: ls -al         
8.  at the next ftp>prompt, type:  type binary (return)
9.  at the next ftp>prompt, type:  get  reports.template. mif (return)
10. to exit ftp area type:  exit (return)


Instructions for sending in the completed reports template are listed as
follows:

1.  Make sure you are in your home directory or the
    directory where you wish to place the file.
2.  type:  ftp 130.11.51.209 (return)
3.  at the prompt for name, type:  anonymous (return)
4.  at the prompt for password, type:  anonymous (return)
5.  at the ftp>prompt, type:  cd pub (return)
6.  at the next ftp>prompt, type:  cd nawqa.incoming (return)
7.  at the next ftp>prompt, type:  type binary (return)
8.  at the next ftp>prompt, type:  put "filename" (return) (suggest using 4
letter SU  Abbrev.reptlisting--example leri.reptlisting) 
9. to exit ftp area type:  exit (return)

These lists are needed to assess and provide feedback on how well the
reports collectively meet program goals, and how they feed into regional
and national syntheses efforts. Sharing these lists among Study Units
should facilitate collaboration among Study Units on reports, and minimize
duplication.  For the electronic submittal, include the name of the
spreadsheet software used, a description of the output file type and name,
and ftp address from which the file can be obtained by anonymous ftp. 


Please only include reports that are being prepared or are going to be
completed in FY 1996 or FY 1997 in this table.

Describe in your work plan the staffing and funding needed to do the data
analysis and report preparation for the reports listed. It is not expected
that this information be provided for each report, but rather for all
reports collectively. However, if there are particular reports that will
require a large portion of the staffing and funding; please identify those
reports, and address the particular needs separately.

NAWQA report plans will be reviewed through the Government Performance and
Results Act process.  Therefore, reports listed in the table should
collectively ensure two things: (1) the reports meet NAWQA Program goals at
the study-unit level without omission, and (2) the reports listed are
published before the end of FY 1997.  If there are other reports that you
would like to prepare if you had additional time, staff, and funding,
include them in priority order in a separate table. Describe the staffing
and funding that would be needed to complete the first two reports listed.

LOW-INTENSITY PHASE ACTIVITIES

There are three goals for the LIP: (1) complete data archival and
documentation from the HIP, (2) help detect, describe, and explain changes
and trends in water-quality; and (3) interpret information from the HIP.
Activities involved in meeting these goals include:

o Documenting and archiving information.

o Monitoring water quality and quantity at selected sites in the Study Unit
to improve the sensitivity for detecting changes and trends in water
quality and the capability of explaining these changes and trends.

o Monitoring the natural and anthropogenic factors that affect water
quality and quantity.

o Monitoring water-resource issues, management plans, regulations, and
studies that have relevance to water quality.

o Preparing regional and national synthesis reports based on information
from the previous high-intensity phase (HIP) period.

o Planning next HIP investigations.

For FY 1996 Study Unit work plans, all of these activities should be 
addressed except the last two. Plans for Study Unit staff participating in
regional and national synthesis have been discussed, but have not been
developed. These plans should be developed in FY 1996 if sufficient
budgetary resources are available to have such participation. Plans for the
next HIP investigations do not need to be developed until a couple of years
prior to the next HIP.


Water-Quality and Quantity Data Collection

A Draft Operational Plan for the Trends Component of NAWQA, based on the
Trends Committee Report, emailed to all Study Units June 30, 1995, provides
guidelines on LIP activities. This plan has been reviewed by the Trends
Committee, the NLT, NST, FY 1991 Study Units, and others. Based on the
review, a meeting was held in September to: (1) resolve issues raised and,
and (2) start the process for preparing a Circular describing the trends
component of NAWQA. One of the major issues that need to be resolved
involves the LIP design for ground water. Thus, Study Units are asked to
not include ground-water sampling in their work plans for FY 1996. There
are also some issues involving the LIP surface-water design. These issues
involve determining a consistent regional and national environmental
framework as the basis for selecting Study Unit sampling sites and number
of sites, so that they represent the most important and common
environmental settings. This regional and national environmental framework
is being developed and may be available, at least in a preliminary form, in
time for Study Unit conference calls. 

For FY 1996 work plans, Study Units are asked to describe their surface
water LIP design based on the guidelines in the Draft Operational Plan.  
Study Units are advised to not take the guidelines too strictly. For 
example, some latitude on the number of sampling sites is acceptable. These
designs will be reviewed for conformity with regional and national
perspectives during Study-Unit conference calls. Thus, Study Units are also
advised that major changes in the surface water LIP design could occur as 
result of these conference calls. The design description should include:

o A Study-Unit map showing the locations and types of fixed sites 
(integrator, indicator, reference) proposed for sampling during the LIP.

o A table listing the station ID, station name, site type, drainage area, 
and remarks about HIP sampling at each LIP site (e.g., intensive fixed site
(IFS) sampled weekly from March to August 1993 and 1994 for pesticides and
nutrients, multiple reach/multiple year ecological site, sampled for
contaminants in bed sediment and biota September 1993, and part of
high-flow mass balance/transport synoptic May 1994).

o An explanation of why these sites are proposed for the LIP based on the
criteria in the Draft Operational Plan or other appropriate criteria. Thus,
 this should include a description of land and water use, amount and
quality  of historical data, nesting of sites, integration of physical,
chemical, and  biological information, etc.  Keep in mind that the sites
selected should be the best in the Study Unit for improving our capability
to detect, describe, and explain changes and trends in water quality from
that based on HIP 
information alone.

o A description of the water-quality constituents to be sampled and
sampling frequency for each LIP site. Generally, these should be the same
as for the HIP.

o A description of the staffing an funding needed to maintain stations,
collect, process, analyze samples, and review, document, and archive data.

Monitoring Environmental Factors

Briefly describe how natural and anthropogenic factors that affect water
quality and quantity will be monitored in the Study Unit during the LIP. 
This description should include:

o What information will be collected? Which data bases will be accessed?
How will data bases be maintained?

o Who will do the work and how much time and funding will it take?

o What analysis will be done and how will information and results of 
analyses be displayed?


Monitoring Water-Resources Issues and Management Plans

Briefly describe how water-resources issues and management plans will be
tracked in the Study Unit during the LIP. This description should include:

o What information and how will it be obtained?

o Who will do the work and how much time and funding will it take?

o How will information be documented and used?


Documenting and Archiving Information

Describe how HIP and LIP information will be documented and archived in the
Study Unit. This description should include:

o How will data on water quality and quality be archived (e.g. Annual Data
Reports, CD-ROM's, World Wide Web, NWIS-II, NAWQA data and interpretive
reports)? NWIS-II probably will be the main system used.

o How will environmental setting information be documented and archived
(e.g. GIS coverages, environmental setting report(s), NAWQA National Data
Base on Sampling Site Characteristics)?

o How will habitat information be documented and archived (e.g. GIS 
coverages, NWIS-II)?

BUDGET TABLES

For consistency and to help facilitate review and integration of Study Unit
budgets at Regional and National levels, it is requested that each Study
Unit provide their budget tables in the format described in last year's
work plan guidance using electronic spreadsheet software. The table
descriptions are given in attachment 1. Include the name of the spreadsheet
software used, a description of the output file type and names, and ftp
address from which the files can be obtained by anonymous ftp.

To obtain the template copies of these budget tables in electronic 
spreadsheet files, three files are available for anonymous ftp retrieval at
130.118.149.131.  A TACTICIAN file (budget96.t), a delimited ASCII file
(budget96.del), and a printer output file (budget96.o) are located in a
directory, /var/ftp/pub.  If you have any questions concerning these files,
please call Walton Low at (208- 387-1385) or edoc (WLOW).
