Intensive Survey Branch (ISB) The Intensive Survey Branch (ISB) collects and interprets a variety of biological, chemical, and physical data that are incorporated in the DWR basinwide planning concept. ISB monitoring programs include the Ambient Lake Monitoring Program, Lake TMDL Studies, and other Special Studies/Intensive Surveys as requested and as resources allow. Specific monitoring activities include: • Ambient Lakes Monitoring • Chemical sampling in water or sediment • Physical measurements (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity) • Flow/velocity/time-of-travel measurement • Sediment oxygen demand and nutrient flux • Channel morphology and lake bathymetry measurement • Remote sampling Standard Operating Procedures Physical and Chemical Monitoring SOP Lakes Monitoring Quality Assurance Project Plan Lake Special Studies Identification of Select Emerging Compounds in Public Water Supply Reservoirs of the Neuse River Basin: July 2021 Study Plan for the Identification of Select Emerging Contaminants at Surface Water Intakes in Three North Carolina River Basins Study Plan for the Identification of Emerging Contaminants in Jordan Lake and its Watershed Study Plan for the Identification of Emerging Contaminants in Falls Lake and its Watershed Jordan Lake Algaecide and Phosphorous-Locking Treatment Study 2017 White Lake Water Quality Investigation Reports and Data Effects of Hurricane Matthew on N.C.
