Short Description

As part of the Walla Walla River Basin Fecal Coliform Bacteria and pH Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Study, the Department of Ecology conducted a series of water quality surveys from June 2002 through June 2003. This report presents data collected during these surveys, including field and laboratory water quality data and flow data. The quality assurance and quality control analysis of the data is also provided.

The data provided in this report will be used by Ecology to conduct a detailed scientific analysis to recommend pollutant loading limits for the Washington portion of the Walla Walla River basin.

Abstract Long Description

As part of the Walla Walla River Basin Fecal Coliform Bacteria and pH Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Study, the Department of Ecology conducted a series of water quality surveys from June 2002 through June 2003. This report presents data collected during these surveys, including field and laboratory water quality data and flow data. The quality assurance and quality control analysis of the data is also provided.

Data provided in this report will be used by Ecology to conduct a detailed scientific analysis and recommend pollutant loading limits for the Washington portion of the Walla Walla River basin.

Field data include pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and flow. Laboratory data include fecal coliform, E. coli, Enterococcus, chloride, total suspended solids, total non-volatile suspended solids, alkalinity, chlorophyll a, biochemical oxygen demand, total persulfate nitrogen, nitrate+nitrite nitrogen, ammonia, total phosphorous, orthophosphate, total organic carbon, and dissolved organic carbon.
