Kentucky Interagency Groundwater Monitoring Network Proposal
KRS 151.625 Establishment of long-term groundwater
monitoring network -- Duties.
1. The KGS shall, in cooperation with the Interagency Technical
Advisory Committee on Groundwater, establish a long-term
groundwater monitoring network for the purpose of characterizing
the quality, quantity, and distribution of Kentucky's groundwater
resources.
2. The monitoring network shall include:
(a) Representative sites sampled by various agencies;
(b) Water wells, springs, and surface water associated with
wells and springs; and
(c) New monitoring wells installed in areas of demonstrated
need.
This network shall collect information on a statewide basis and
provide long-term data collection to determine the quality,
quantity, and occurrence of groundwater throughout the
Commonwealth.
I debated putting the actual legislation wording in my talk, but thought there may
be people in the audience who are trying to develop a network for their state
who may be interested in seeing exactly how the law is worded. This slide and
the two following contain the exact wording of the Kentucky Revised Statute that
established the Network.View entire presentation
