Short Description

As part of the project, Spokane River and Lake Spokane (Long Lake) Pollutant Loading Assessment for Protecting Dissolved Oxygen, Ecology compiled historical data and conducted a series of water quality surveys in 1999 and 2000. In addition, the Spokane River Phosphorus Technical Advisory Committee discharger members collected data during the summer of 2001. This report provides a summary of the field measurements and chemical data. The data provided in this report – and flow, water level, meteorological, and bathymetry data from other sources – were used to develop and calibrate a hydrodynamic and water quality computer model of the Spokane River and Lake Spokane. The model will be used to recommend Total Maximum Daily Load pollutant limitations.

Abstract Long Description

As part of the project, Spokane River and Lake Spokane (Long Lake) Pollutant Loading Assessment for Protecting Dissolved Oxygen, the Washington State Department of Ecology compiled historical data and conducted a series of water quality surveys in 1999 and 2000. In addition, the Spokane River Phosphorus Technical Advisory Committee discharger members collected data during the summer of 2001. This report provides a summary of the field measurements and chemical data.

The data provided in this report – and flow, water level, meteorological, and bathymetry data from other sources – were used to develop and calibrate a hydrodynamic and water quality computer model of the Spokane River and Lake Spokane. Ecology will use the model to recommend Total Maximum Daily Load pollutant limitations for the Spokane River and Lake Spokane.
