CALIFORNIAWATER MONITORING PROJECT
Klamath at Terwer

Application-aware monitoring

Earlier notice.
Better-timed testing.

Help us know what will be applied, where it will be used, and when—so we can plan monitoring around forestry treatments.

The timing of the work

Earlier notice.
Better-timed testing.

We seek advance or near-real-time notification of forestry-herbicide applications so monitoring can be planned around actual treatments, rather than waiting weeks or months to learn what was applied.

A planned application window helps us prepare. Confirmation of when and where the work actually occurred helps us connect that preparation with the records and the field investigation.

A network we are building

Work with us
before and after treatment.

LANDOWNERS & MANAGERS

Share the treatment plan.

We seek participation from Sierra Pacific Industries, W.M. Beaty, and other California timberland owners and managers. Treatment maps and dates help us identify where monitoring could be useful.

PUBLIC LAND & FORESTRY

Connect the project details.

We want to work with CAL FIRE and the U.S. Forest Service on timely forestry-herbicide treatment information, relevant project records, and application updates.

LOCAL COORDINATION

Improve the timing.

We seek county agricultural departments, applicators, and project contacts who can help connect planned applications, completed treatments, and the records that document them.

These are prospective participants we seek to work with—not a list of established partners. CWMP’s monitoring and interpretation remain independent.

Useful notification details

What. Where.
When.

  • Project and location: project name or identifier, county, treatment map or boundary, and acreage.
  • Products: trade names and active ingredients, with the application method and available supporting records.
  • Timing: planned application date or window, changes or postponements, and confirmation when treatment is complete.
  • Project contacts: landowner, land manager, applicator, and a person who can clarify the notice.
  • Water and access context: relevant drainage information and a separate discussion of any requested site access.

Prepare an application notice.

A plain-text checklist for the details that can help us plan monitoring. Use it for a planned treatment, an update, or a completed application.

Download the notice template

This downloads a template; it does not send a notice. A dedicated CWMP submission channel is being prepared.

From notice to monitoring

Keep the record current.

Planned treatment

Provide the location, products, and expected window so a potential monitoring plan can be considered.

Updated timing

Share changes to the treatment boundary, products, or dates. A revised plan should not be confused with the original notice.

Application completed

Confirm the actual dates and treated area, with the final application records as they become available.

Field follow-up

Use the notice together with site conditions and the monitoring plan to guide sampling and interpretation.

Turn application information into field evidence.
