GAPS Assistance Program Information Session

QUEST, or Quality Useful Environmental Study Teams is a water quality monitoring and reporting program that includes two distinct, yet collaborative approaches to collecting water quality data and information:QUEST Research Partners– Led by the West Virginia Water Research Institute at West Virginia University,  this component of the QUEST program includes a regimented program of bi-weekly collected water quality sampling.   Sampling takes place on the mainstem of the 3 rivers included in the project (Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio) and includes a full detailed laboratory analysis of the samples.  This detailed water chemistry and flow information is used to determine the loading of Total Dissolved Solids and other parameters.QUEST Volunteer Organizations– In each region, there are also QUEST Volunteer Organizations involved in the project!  This is a coordinated effort of grassroots organizations such as watershed associations and individuals that contribute to the collection of important water quality data.  QUEST Volunteer Organizations collect, at a minimum, data on conductivity, pH and water temperature.  These QUEST Volunteer Organizations help contribute to the data set and help provide a better overall picture of the health of three rivers basins (Monongahela, Allegheny, and Upper Ohio).Geographical Scope –The 3 Rivers QUEST project covers 3 river basins:  Allegheny, Monongahela, and Upper Ohio.  The map below shows both the scope of the project and details the various watersheds that each region will be covering.

Three Rivers QUEST

Please join 3RQ in this information session to learn how the GAPS Assistance Program may benefit your organization.

Generating Awareness for Project Success (GAPS) is a collaboration between the Foundation for Pennsylvania Watersheds (FPW) and Three Rivers QUEST (3RQ) with support from the Colcom Foundation to assist grass-roots organizations within the Allegheny and Monongahela river basins with preparing and applying for successful remediation projects. Utilizing field teams and researchers, 3RQ will provide watershed groups with the information and technical expertise needed to prepare successful proposals that secure funding for the engineering and construction of nonpoint source remediation projects. For more information on the program, please visit <a href="https://3riversquest.wvu.edu/home" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://3riversquest.wvu.edu/home</a>. This information session will provide detailed information on 3RQ&#x27;s GAPS Assistance Program, eligibility, services provided, and the application and evaluation processes. There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions directly to 3RQ&#x27;s team. Two dates are offered to accommodate schedule conflicts. Both sessions will cover the same information.
