Usable information that
is accessible to all stakeholders
- Obtain high-quality data describing
the status and long-term
trends in the quality of nearshore waters, sediments, and associated
beneficial
uses. (The CCLEAN Quality Assurance Program Plan is available on the Documents page.)
- Determine whether nearshore waters
and sediments are in
compliance with the California Ocean Plan.
- Determine sources of contaminants to
nearshore waters.
- Provide
legally defensible data on the effects of wastewater
discharges in nearshore waters.
- Develop a
long-term database on trends in the quality of
nearshore waters, sediments and associated beneficial uses. (All
CCLEAN
data will be archived in the Regional Board’s CCAMP database.)
- Ensure
that the CCLEAN database is compatible with other
regional monitoring efforts and regulatory requirements.
- Ensure
that CCLEAN information is presented in ways that are
understandable and relevant to the needs of stakeholders.
