BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
The monitoring and water quality standards groups will embark on a ninth year of collecting nutrient and supporting data
on lakes and reservoirs. The focus of this year's monitoring will be a) drinking water storage reservoirs and/or public
reservoirs with high recreation uses for which limited or no nutrient data exist and b) Boysen Reservoir (WDEQ/WQD
2021). Data from this monitoring will be used to ascertain the status of nutrient conditions in these waters; to assist in
development of numeric nutrient criteria protective of aquatic life, recreation and/or drinking water; and be used to
determine whether these waters should be prioritized for protection and/or restoration as part of Wyoming’s Nutrient
Strategy (http://deq.wyoming.gov/wqd/nutrient-pollution/resources/wyoming-nutrient-strategy/). Data collected on
Boysen Reservoir will be used in conjunction with external data to i) verify predictions of cyanobacterial bloom densities
from CyAN satellite imagery (https://www.epa.gov/water-research/cyanobacteria-assessment-network-cyan), ii)
evaluate linkages between cyanobacterial composition and cyanotoxin production in Boysen Reservoir.
CREDIBLE DATA AND QAPP
All data are collected in accordance with the credible data law specified in the Wyoming Environmental Quality Act § 35-
11-103(c)(xix) and detailed in Chapter 1, Section 35 of the Wyoming Water Quality Rules and Regulations. This SAP is
covered by the WDEQ Water Quality Division (WQD), Watershed Protection Program Monitoring Quality Assurance
Program Plan (QAPP) (WDEQ/WQD 2021b).
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
All standard operating procedures (SOPs) referenced within this SAP are found within the Manual of Standard Operating
Procedures for Sample Collection and Analysis (WDEQ/WQD 2021c).
STUDY DESIGN
Site Selection
The following five public reservoirs are selected for monitoring in 2021 (Figure 1).
Owner Category Reservoir Acres Latitude Longitude
Public 1 Worthen Meadows Reservoir 98 42.700600 -108.925100
Public 2 Frye Lake 145 42.707500 -108.878900
Public 3 Lower Sunshine Reservoir 971 44.086770 -108.986800
Public 1 West Newton Lake 29 44.543590 -109.123710
Public BR Boysen Reservoir 19,560 43.367743 -108.175406
Number and Location of Sample Sites
For reservoirs that have not been previously sampled, the number and locations of sample sites will be determined during
the first sample period according to the sample site selection criteria in Table 1 based on the reservoir’s category (Category
1: 10-100 acres; Category 2: 101-500 acres; Category 3: 500+ acres; Category 3(LR): large reservoirs). For reservoirs that
have been previously sampled, monitoring will take place at established sample sites that correspond with the minimum
selection criteria in Table 1. For Boysen Reservoir (Category BR), monitoring will take place at existing site locations as
described in Table 2. Monitoring will take place at the same sample sites for all sample events.

multiple ‘riverine-transitional pelagic’ zones, then select the zone that receives the largest inflow into
the lake.

there are multiple ‘riverine pelagic’ zones, then select the zone that receives the largest inflow into the
lake.

Monitoring and Access Permissions
For access to or across private lands, authorization will be sought according to the internal standard operating procedure
(SOP) for Private Land Access and WDEQ/WQD Policy #5 WQD Private Property Access Procedures (Form B). Approved

Data Recording
All data and information collected in the field will be recorded on official WDEQ/WQD electronic datasheets and/or the
Lake/Reservoir Field Data Form that can be found at the back of this SAP. In some circumstances, field notebooks may also
be used in addition to the Lake/Reservoir Field Data Form or electronic datasheets. Samples for laboratory analysis will be
recorded on official chain of custody forms (see SOP for Chain of Custody).
Sample Labeling
See SOPs for Phytoplankton-Vertical Tow and Van Dorn Sample Method (attached), Chlorophyll (Lentic), and Sample
Labeling.
Corrective Actions
Project evaluation will occur periodically during the sampling schedule outlined in this SAP. Necessary revisions may
include but are not limited to site locations, sample methods and logistics, field forms and sampling logistics. Any revisions
will be included as amendments to this SAP. The project manager will notify all associated field personnel, landowners
and partners of amendments to this SAP along with implementation of any corrective actions.
Laboratories
The following laboratories will provide analytical services for samples collected as part of the project described in this SAP:
1. Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Water Quality Division Laboratory (WQD lab)
The WQD lab will be the provider of analytical services for all water chemistry samples (excluding orthophosphate)
collected as part of this project by WQD staff. The WQD lab will provide customized packages of bottles, labels,
preservatives, and chain of custody forms prior to samples being collected as requested by samplers. Samplers
will send samples to the WQD lab within one week of collection using United Parcel Service, Federal Express or
6hand delivery. The WQD lab will analyze samples in accordance with established standards for holding time,
analytical method, and data quality assurance and control. The WQD lab will follow the Watershed Protection
Program standard operating procedures (WDEQ/WQD 2021c) and QAPP (WDEQ/WQD 2021b).
2. Rhithron Associates (Rhithron)
Rhithron will provide taxonomic identification services for phytoplantkon samples collected as part of this project.
Rhithron has provided taxonomic services to the Watershed Program since 2004 and is under contract through
June 30, 2022. Preserved phytoplankton samples will be sent to Rhithron at the end of the field season. Rhithron
will provide results to samplers within 90 days of receipt of samples. Rhithron will subsample, sort and identify
specimens according to contract terms. Established standards for taxonomic identification will be followed.
3. Energy Laboratories, Casper Wyoming
Energy Laboratories will be the provider of analytical services for orthophosphate samples collected as part of this
project by WQD staff. Energy Laboratories will provide customized packages of bottles, labels, preservatives, and
chain of custody forms prior to samples being collected as requested by samplers. A copy of the chain of custody
used by Energy Laboratories is included in the back of this SAP. Samplers will send samples to Energy Laboratories
within one week of collection using United Parcel Service, Federal Express or hand delivery. Energy Laboratories
will analyze samples in accordance with established standards for holding time, analytical method, and their own
data quality assurance and control procedures.

Data Quality Objectives and Reconciliation
Data collected under this SAP will be evaluated by the Qa/Qc Officer with respect to the data objectives listed in this SAP
and data quality objectives identified in the WDEQ/WQD SOP for Precision and the QAPP (WDEQ/WQD 2021b). If it is
determined that one or more data objectives/components were not met, the project manager will be informed and given
an opportunity to provide justification to the Qa/Qc Officer as to whether the particular data objective/component should
be qualified or rejected and if future data components/objectives should be altered.
Field Audits
A field audit by the WDEQ/WQD QA/QC Officer will be accommodated if requested.

ANALYSIS
Analytical methods that could be used for development of nutrient criteria using data collected pursuant to this project
and other data sources include but are not limited to those identified in the Wyoming Nutrient Criteria Development Plan
(WDEQ/WQD 2018b). Data analysis efforts to accomplish identified objectives specific to Boysen Reservoir will be
conducted by a third-party under a separate sampling and analysis plan approved by the WDEQ.
