Monthly Physiochemical Parameters
Physiochemical Parameters are Oxygen, ph etc. We monitor them is because these parameters are used by the NMED to define designated use attainment.
- YSI Professional Plus / HACH 2100Q Turbidmeter
- Dissolved Oxygen (mg/L / % sat.)
- Temperature
- Conductivity
- Oxidation/Reduction Potential (ORP)
- pH
- Turbidity
Tribal Designated Uses
Tribal Designated Uses are the uses of water resources on the Pueblo which we wish to ensure continuation without degradation. They are assigned separately for each waterbody monitored. These uses are assigned by the Pueblo, but utilize defined parameters as described in NMAC 20.6.4. These
defined parameters act as screening levels for each monitored waterbody based on assigned designated uses.
- Annual Use Attainability Analysis (UAA)
- 14 locations (perennial / ephemeral streams, ponds, springs)
- Compared to New Mexico Environment Department Standards
- Data uploaded to EPA STORET
