The purpose of this bibliography is to provide a list of reference documents relevant to CBM discharges that may be useful in understanding issues related to CBM water quality (i.e. irrigation, aquatic life, surface water quality monitoring...). Links to the reference documents are provided where available. This bibliography is not meant to be comprehensive of all CBM-related water quality references; however, the WDEQ will continually update this bibliography as new references are received and reviewed. This bibliography was last updated 10/5/07.
