The example table below outlines recommended data assessment and data collection methods that would be used to address the example management questions for sediment. The content of each column should be as follows: Management Questions: List the management questions identified in Section 3 for specific Program Elements and outcome levels. Each primary management question should have its own row. Data Assessment Methods: Identify the specific data assessment type (e.g., Descriptive Statistics). Identify the specific metrics and how they will be analyzed in order to answer the management questions. Data Collection Methods: Identify the specific data collection type (e.g., Internal Tracking by Stormwater Program). Identify the specific information or data needed and how it will be collected.
