Hawkesbury-Nepean River Environmental Monitoring Program

Long-term monitoring sites
A review was conducted of current and historic SCA, Sydney Water, DECC EPA,
DWE and DPI Fisheries monitoring sites in the Hawkesbury-Nepean River. From this
list, a selection of sites that had long-term ongoing monitoring was identified. Many of
these sites are currently monitored as a result of various licences (e.g. Water
Management Licences or DECC EPA Pollution Control Licences). Added to this were
sites that were currently monitored under the SCA’s Woronora Environmental Flows
Project and sites that were not currently monitored but had a relatively long history of
sampling and/or were located in strategic sections of the river system. These sites
are identified in Table 3.1 and form the core of the Hawkesbury-Nepean
Environmental Monitoring Program.
