| Short Description |
As part of the Willapa River Dissolved Oxygen and Fecal Coliform Bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load Study, the Department of Ecology conducted a series of surveys in 1998. This interim report presents data collected during those surveys, including both laboratory data and field water quality and flow data from both instantaneous meter and continuous datalogger measurements. A summary of the Quality Assurance/Quality Control analysis of the data also is provided. Data showed that temperature, FC bacteria, and DO levels failed to meet criteria at mainstem and tributary monitoring sites throughout the basin. Several permitted point sources also had high bacteria levels. (Also see abstract below) | |||

| Abstract | Long Description |
As part of the Willapa River Dissolved Oxygen and Fecal Coliform Bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load Study, the Department of Ecology conducted a series of surveys in 1998. This interim report presents data collected during those surveys, including both laboratory data and field water quality and flow data from both instantaneous meter and continuous datalogger measurements. A summary of the Quality Assurance/Quality Control analysis of the data also is provided. Data showed that temperature, FC bacteria, and DO levels failed to meet criteria at mainstem and tributary monitoring sites throughout the basin. Several permitted point sources also had high bacteria levels. Ecology will use the data in this report to conduct a detailed scientific analysis and to recommend TMDL pollutant limitations for the Willapa River basin, to be published in a final report separately at a later date. |
