List the duties from most important to least important. The total percentage of all duties performed must equal 100 percent. Duty 1 General Summary of Duty 1 % of Time 50 Plan and conduct biological and chemical investigations on lake and stream systems to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with industrial/municipal effluents, various nonpoint sources, and sites of environmental contamination. Individual tasks related to the duty. Develop study plans and Quality Assurance Project Plans. Conduct water resources monitoring using qualitative and quantitative tools to assess benthic macroinvertebrate and fish communities, aquatic habitat, water and sediment chemical characteristics, and fish contaminants to support water quality protection programs. Analyze data and prepare reports of findings. Participate in the development of a monitoring program, including new tools and procedures. Duty 2 General Summary of Duty 2 % of Time 30 Provide oversight to the targeted monitoring request process. Individual tasks related to the duty. Develop the annual request for targeted monitoring needs for both internal and external requestors. Oversee the maintenance of the targeted monitoring access database. Respond to questions from internal and external requestors. Coordinate the targeted monitoring review process. Make recommendation for the selection of targeted monitoring efforts. Duty 3 General Summary of Duty 4 % of Time 20 Assist with section responsibilities as assigned. Individual tasks related to the duty. Assist with routine section responsibilities as assigned by the supervisor including, but not limited to, participating on water quality sampling crews, preparing fish contaminant samples for chemical analysis, preparing general correspondence, providing peer reviews of technical work, and responding to public inquiries on water quality issues. 16. Describe the types of decisions made independently in this position and tell who or what is affected by those decisions. This is an entry level position and all work is reviewed by the supervisor until the biologist demonstrates proficiency. However, the entry level biologist is expected to submit high quality, approvable work products to the supervisor, including water quality monitoring plans, and the type and location of biological and chemical sampling points. These work products can affect water quality and determinations of whether the water body meets water quality standards and the effectiveness of water quality protection programs.
