Monitoring is a broad term that equates to surveying a specific site or location over time. Within ecological assessments and environmental permitting, monitoring is often required to ensure that permitted activities (construction, mining, wetland mitigation, etc.) do not cause adverse ecological effects. As mentioned, monitoring may be associated with permits ranging from Consumptive Use Permits (CUP), Water Use Permits (WUP), National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, environmental resource permits (ERPs), Water Resource Assessments, well monitoring, mitigation projects, ecosystem restoration projects, adaptive lake management plans, stream condition index, and more. In addition to permit compliance, regular monitoring and responsible reporting incorporate core adaptive management strategies that ensure project success in a timely and cost-efficient manner.
