Figure VII-7. Scenario 2: noncompliance not established after one year of shallow-water 
monitoring. 
complexities and interactions between adjacent segments of a single tributary, it is 
imperative to assess these tidal tributaries and segments as whole systems and not 
discontinue monitoring in one segment if noncompliance occurs after only a year or 
two of assessment. 
The states should make the decision whether to continue shallow-water monitoring 
for the full three years or to move the monitoring to another segment after a year or 
two of sampling. In making such decisions, the state should consider the need to 
gather shallow-water data for the assessment of multiple criteria (dissolved oxygen, 
water clarity, and chlorophyll a) as well as other uses of the data (e.g., shallow-water 
water quality model development and calibration). The states will also need to
