The FY 1991 pilot studies included elements of all three types of preliminary study (regional surveys, special field studies, and desktop analyses). The fundamental role of a pilot study is to focus on critical questions, the answers to which are necessary for effective implementation of EMAP monitoring. The authors began by asking, what critical pieces prevent us from implementing regional or national monitoring or why can't we presently initiate a EMAP-type monitoring program or what will be the consequences of proceeding with monitoring without an answer to the set of questions. The EMAP-Surface Waters Northeast Lakes Pilot Implementation Plan posed a set of questions to be addressed in a series of pilot studies. The questions, recast here to set the framework for the pilot report, focus on lake monitoring but they apply equally well to stream monitoring.
