• C. Storm Water Ambient Measurement Program
• D. Surface Water Analysis and Monitoring Protocol

Answer: (A)

SWAMP stands for Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program, the official ambient-monitoring effort focused on assessing surface water quality across water bodies. The term "ambient" reflects monitoring conditions in the environment under typical situations, not in response to a specific incident, and the program collects data to understand long-term trends and support watershed decisions. The other options mix in terms like plan, protocol, or storm water, which do not represent the established program name.
