       The annual report has been prepared to meet the EA and REMP reporting
       requirements and includes a summary of the following:
           •    Presentation of data collected during the 2021 calendar year;

           •    Comparison of 2021 data to the most appropriate water quality and biological
                objectives;
           •    Graphical comparison of 2021 data with historical data; and
           •    Statistical comparison of 2021 data to historical data.

       discharged from the Noosa STP is adequately represented and assessed:

           1. An assessment of climatic conditions contributing to the water quality of
              Burgess Creek
           2. A table summary of the monitoring data collected;
           3. Scatter plots with standard error bars graphically presenting spatial trends
              within Burgess Creek;
           4. Line plots graphically presenting temporal trends (monthly) at each monitoring
              site;
                                                                                            Page 2 of 64
