Monitoring points have been selected that will allow for a more clear examination of the roles of specific landuse types in nutrient loading including urban, sub-urban, and agricultural landuses. A description and justification for each point is given in the map and table below.

| Sample Point |
Cross Roads | Brook | Latitude | Longitude | Reason |
| 1 | Chubb Street. | Guayland | 44°48’23”N | 73°08’19”W | Direct discharge to the Bay. Middle of urban landuse, preceded by agricultural. Trying to get estimate for load direct to bay (other than 3 brooks). |
| 2 | Georgia Shore Road ~ Past Mill River Rd. | Mill River | 44°46’47”N | 73°08’39”W | Agricultural landuse. Point is near road with trees surrounding. Will tell us total load from Mill River (by subtracting Rugg Brook with upstream point before juncture). |
| 3 | Mill River Road ~ East of Bronson Rd. | Rugg | 44°46’39”N | 73°07’37”W | End of Rugg Brook just before juncture with Mill River. Comparing with site 5 and subtracting load from site 6 (industrial) will give load for the agricultural section of this brook. |
| 4 | Clyde Allen Drive ~ past 104. North side. | Rugg | 44°47’29”N | 73°04’48”W | Rugg Brook enters residential area here. Surrounded by grass. By comparing with point 5, we will know the load of flow and P coming from the residential and urban sections of the brook. |
| 5 | Industrial Park access off Nason Street | Rugg | 44°48’12”N | 73°05’58”W | Just after Rugg Brook connects with the diversion from Steven’s Brook (not expected to flow very often at all – i.e. once every other year). This point marks the end of urban and the beginning of agricultural landuse. |
| 6 | End of Industrial Park | Rugg | 44°48’05”N | 73°06’08”W | This point drains the industrial park and will be used to subtract the industrial park’ load from the load for the stream segment from 5 to 3 which, except for this tributary, is primarily agricultural. |
| 7 | Fisher Pond Road ~ North Fairfield St. | Stevens | 44°48’21”N | 73°04’06”W | Steven’s Brook enters the urban area of St. Albans. |
| 8 | Before Montange Farm | At M. Montange's request. | |||
| 9 | After Diversion | Stevens | 44°48’26”N | 73°05’32”W | Just after the diversion. See above. |
| 10 | Lower Newton Road ~East of North Elm St. | Stevens | 44°49’17”N | 73°05’14”W | Marks the end of urban area for Steven’s Brook. Section between 10 and 11 is agricultural on west side, residential on the east side, and includes a tributary from a golf course and shopping center. |
| 11 | Kellogg Road Bridge (by Jewett Ave) | Stevens | 44°50’56”N | 73°06’16”W | Marks beginning of agricultural land use area. |
| 12 | End of Montagne Farm | Stevens | 44°50’18”N | 73°07’30”W | Furthest downstream where we could reliably take samples for comparison with site 14. No access further downstream. Marks end of agricultural landuse for this study. |
| 13 | Newton Road and Middle Road | Jewett | 44°51’22”N | 73°09’04”W | Will be used to compare to site 13. We recognize that this site is sometimes backed up and flow cannot be measured. Samples will not be taken under such conditions. |
| 14 | Dunsmore Road ~ Take Lower Newton Road, after the prison take a left onto the Dunsmore Road | Jewett | 44°50’10”N | 73°08’59”W | Direct discharge to the Bay. Middle of urban landuse, preceded by agricultural. Trying to get estimate for load direct to bay (other than 3 brooks). |
| * 15 | Route 7 (North of Warner’s) | Stevens | 44°50’53''N | 73°05’17’’W | Capture runoff from shopping center/golf course. |
