| Short Description |
This TMDL study (water cleanup plan) was conducted in response to federal Clean Water Act 303(d) listings for fecal coliform bacteria in three tributaries to the Wenatchee River: Mission, Brender, and Chumstick creeks. The study used water quality data collected by the Department of Ecology in 2003 and 2004. The three creeks were found to have seasonal fecal coliform problems during the dry, low-flow season (July through October). Fecal coliform target reductions from 6% to 98% are recommended for 26 locations in the three creeks and their tributaries to bring the creeks into compliance with Washington State water quality criteria.

| Abstract | Long Description |
As part of the Wenatchee River Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study, the Washington State Department of Ecology conducted a water quality monitoring assessment in 2003-2004. This report summarizes the data quality assurance and the findings of the monitoring study. Washington State water quality criteria for fecal coliform bacteria were not met throughout the Mission, Brender, and Chumstick creek watersheds. Simple mass-balance load analyses of each creek identified specific reaches with the highest fecal coliform loading. Load allocations for 26 sites are recommended in this report. |
