Overview
The West Virginia Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report (IR)
fulfills the reporting requirements of the West Virginia Water Pollution Control Act (§22-
11-28) and Sections 303(d) & 305(b) of the federal Clean Water Act.
As the name implies, the Integrated Report provides monitoring and assessment methodologies for
characterizing water quality in WV waters. General water quality conditions for WV
streams are based on a Probabilistic Monitoring Program, with a subset of parameters
highlighted in the Integrated Report. In addition, the Integrated Report categorizes WV
waters based on monitoring results collected from specific locations on streams and
lakes and includes a list of impaired waters.
