In 1994, the U.S. EPA initiated the Regional Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (R-EMAP) in EPA Region VII. This study consisted of two years of stream surveys to be repeated every five years. The purpose of this study was to determine the current health and quality of the fisheries in Region VII and establish baseline data to be used in evaluating trends throughout the region. Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) conducted the field work and presented the data from the 1994 and 1995 survey sites to the EPA.
