1.0 Purpose
This Water Quality Assessment and Monitoring Plan provides methods and procedures for the City of
Raleigh’s program for monitoring and assessing the quality of water in streams within the corporate limits
of Raleigh. Information gained from this program is used to help identify and eliminate sources of
pollution, track short-term and long-term trends, and, where possible, evaluate the effectiveness of
stormwater management efforts and programs conducted by the City.
2.0 Water Quality Monitoring
2.1 Sampling Methods
Stream water samples are fixed-interval grab samples collected at each of 18 monitoring sites. Samples
are collected by City staff accessing the monitoring site by wading into the stream from the bank, selecting
a target location upstream of the path of wading, typically near the center of the stream channel,
immersing monitoring probes in the stream flow for instrument readings, and dipping laboratory-provide
sample bottles in the stream flow to collect the water sample.
2.2 Sampling Frequency and Schedule
Stream water samples are collected on a quarterly basis, typically during March, June, September, and
December. A specific day of each quarter is assigned for sampling (for example, the first Tuesday of the
month representing the quarter). Scheduled sampling days sometimes are rescheduled due to inclement
weather or high stream flows that create safety concerns.
2.3 Monitoring Parameters
Stream water samples are analyzed for the following parameters by a North Carolina-certified laboratory:
ammonia nitrogen, calcium, copper, E. coli, magnesium, nitrate + nitrite, total hardness, total Kjeldahl
nitrogen, total phosphorous, total suspended solids, turbidity, and zinc. The following additional
parameters are measured at each monitoring site using calibrated field instruments: conductivity,
dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature.

3.0 Monitoring Sites
3.1 Basis for Locating Monitoring Sites
One monitoring site is located within each of 17 major subwatersheds within the corporate limits of
Raleigh, and two monitoring sites are located within the Crabtree Creek subwatershed. Monitoring sites
typically are located at the downstream-most accessible point of the subwatershed’s stream, intended to
represent water quality conditions of that stream and to detect pollutants originating from within that
subwatershed. Eighteen monitoring sites are monitored under this plan.
3.2 Subwatersheds and Locations of Monitoring Sites
The 18 monitoring sites have been assigned identification numbers. Their locations are described in
Table 3-1 and are shown on Figure 3-1.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The purpose of this manual is to provide standard operating procedures (SOPs) to the Water Quality Section of the
City of Raleigh (COR) Stormwater Management Division for the collection and analysis of water quality samples
obtained during quarterly National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) compliance monitoring. This
manual details procedures for sample collection, handling, and in situ parameter measurements. The SOPs
outlined in this document are intended to serve as technical guidance for field personnel and to ensure consistent,
accurate water quality data are collected. All new and existing personnel who collect water quality samples should
familiarize themselves with the SOPs prior to sampling.
2.0 PRE-FIELD PREPARATION AND CONSIDERATIONS
2.1 Personnel
The Environmental Specialist coordinates quarterly NPDES sampling. For safety, field work is conducted in teams of
two or more Stormwater personnel. Quarterly sampling is conducted by two teams of Water Quality Section staff.
2.2 Health and Safety
The following items should be discussed with staff before field work to minimize the risk of injury:
Pathogens: Urban waterways may harbor bacteria or other pathogens that are harmful to humans.
Caution should be exercised when handling water, sediment, or organic matter from sampling locations. If
needed, nitrile gloves can be used for sampling handling and are located in COR vehicles.
Visibility: Staff will be provided with high-visibility safety vests to be worn whenever working near traffic.
Sun and Heat Protection: Staff should use sunscreen and drink water when sampling in hot weather.
Insect Repellant: Staff will be provided with and should use repellant to protect against insect-borne
diseases. A thorough check for ticks should be performed after each field effort.
General Safety: Increased flow, turbidity, uneven terrain, debris, and other hazards may exist at sampling
sites. Field staff should use caution and always be aware of their surroundings. If conditions such as high
flows or inclement weather are present, sampling should be postponed.
2.3 Laboratory Coordination
Approximately four weeks before the intended sampling date, the Environmental Specialist will contact the
contracted laboratory to notify them of the upcoming field work. Sample bottles, coolers, and appropriate
documentation should be requested from the laboratory, including extra bottle sets. Once received, bottles should
be counted, verified for accuracy, and pre-labeled with site IDs if necessary. Ensure a plan is in place for
subsequent sample drop off at the contracted laboratory that accounts for sample hold times, including travel
duration.
2.4 Equipment and Supplies
Sampling supplies are inventoried and maintained by the Environmental Specialist. Each sampling group will
require an individual set of the materials listed in Table 1.

2.5 Calibration and Standardization
Meters used for in situ physicochemical monitoring must be calibrated in a controlled environment (ideally the
COR office) and a calibration record form (Appendix A) completed before sampling. The Environmental Specialist
should calibrate the meters no more than 24 hours prior to sampling. After each day of field work, a post-
calibration check will be conducted to ensure the meters were operating within the accepted range. The following
calibration standards must be met:
Dissolved oxygen post-sampling check value must be within +/- 0.5 mg/L of calibrated meter value
Specific conductivity post-sampling check value must be within +/- 10% µS/cm of calibrated meter value
pH post-sampling check value must be within +/- 0.2 SU of calibrated meter value
Data from an uncalibrated meter or a meter that failed the post-calibration check should not be used.
3.0 SAMPLING PROCEDURE
3.1 General Water Quality Sampling Overview
The following should be considered to ensure consistent and accurate water quality data are collected:
Representativeness. Water quality samples collected in sample bottles as well as in situ measurements
should be representative of site conditions (see Section 3.2).
Technique. Proper sampling and preservation techniques should be used to ensure data confidence.
Handling and Custody. Samples should be kept in COR custody until relinquishment to laboratory
personnel; all documentation of chain of custody (COC) should be kept on file.
Documentation. Proper identification of collected samples and thorough documentation of site
conditions are required. All data should be maintained in an electronic database.
3.2 Site Considerations
Sampling should not be conducted in standing or pooled water nor should samples be collected directly
downstream of outfalls. Care should be taken not to disturb the sediment in the immediate area of sampling and
to ensure sample collection occurs upstream of areas disturbed by Stormwater personnel.
3.3 Sample Collection
3.3.1 Physicochemical Measurements
The COR collects the following parameters in the field as in situ measurements:
Water temperature
Specific conductivity
pH
Dissolved oxygen (mg/L and percent saturation)
Standard Operating Procedures:
NPDES Quarterly Stormwater Monitoring Sampling
SOP #SWM2
July 2021
Page 6 of 10
These physicochemical measurements are obtained with handheld multi-parameter meter sondes which
have been previously calibrated per Section 2.5. To collect data, sondes should be placed in a
representative location within the stream (Section 3.2) and maintained in position until readings stabilize.
Measurements should be recorded promptly upon meter stabilization, saved to the device, and recorded
on the field data form.
3.3.2 Grab Water Quality Samples
All water quality samples should be collected from approximately 6 inches below the surface in a sample
bottle provided by the laboratory. For grab sample collection, the sample container should be placed into
the stream perpendicular to the water’s surface then inverted so the mouth of the container faces
upstream without disturbing the streambed. Sample bottles are filled to the shoulder (or fill line in the
case of the E. coli bottle). General guidelines for sample volumes, preservatives, and other considerations
are listed in Table 2. Except for the E. coli sample, which is filled directly into the provided, sterile
container, all other pre-preserved containers (see Table 2) are filled indirectly. If pre-preserved, do not
place these containers within the stream to fill; instead fill pre-preserved containers using an intermediary
unpreserved sample container. If a sampling pole or intermediary container is needed, rinse the
intermediary container three times prior to collection.

3.4 Sample Handling
Immediately after collection, sample bottles from each unique sampling site should be placed in a labeled plastic
bag and sealed. All bottles should be placed in coolers on ice. Any samples not meeting temperature, hold time, or
preservation requirements or are otherwise not submitted in accordance with the SOP are subject to rejection.
3.4.1 Sample Custody
The Environmental Specialist is responsible for completion of the COC form (Appendix B). Proper COC
documentation must be filled out immediately after field sampling and kept with the samples. These
documents must be signed by the relinquishing party as well as the laboratory upon receipt.
