SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The USGS is working with the Federal Advisory Committee on Water 
Information (ACWI) and its Subcommittee on Ground Water (SOGW) to 
develop and administer a National Ground-Water Monitoring Network 
(NGWMN). This network is required as part of Public Law 111-11, 
Subtitle F--Secure Water: Section 9507 ``Water Data Enhancement by the 
United States Geological Survey''. The Network will consist of an 
aggregation of wells from existing Federal, State, Tribal, and local 
groundwater monitoring networks. To support data providers for the 
National Ground-Water Monitoring Network, the USGS will be providing 
funding through cooperative agreements to water-resource agencies that 
collect groundwater data. The USGS will be soliciting applications for 
funding that will request information from the Agency collecting the 
data. Proposals will be submitted through the www.grants.gov Web site. 
Elements of the proposal will include contact information (phone number 
and email address), and a proposal describing their existing data 
collection and a plan to evaluate their data for incorporation into the 
NGWMN. The proposal will be evaluated by the USGS and the NGWMN Program 
Board to appropriate funding. The proposal will describe the 
groundwater networks to be included in the NGWMN, the purpose of the 
networks, an estimate of the number of wells they would submit for the 
network, an overview of the methods they would use to select and 
classify wells for the network a description of data collection 
techniques, and information on their databases. The proposal would also 
require estimates of one-time costs to complete the above tasks and 
annual costs to participate in the network.
