| Abstract | Long Description |
Monitoring of temperature and/or dissolved oxygen by the Department of Ecology, King County Department of Natural Resources, and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe indicates that there are segments of streams in the Green River/Newaukum Creek watershed that do not meet the water quality standards for temperature or dissolved oxygen for varying periods of time between June and October. These segments are listed under Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act as impaired waters. The present study is designed to organize and evaluate existing data and to supplement and integrate Department of Ecology and King County data collection to ensure that the density of the monitoring sites and the frequency and duration of data collection are adequate to develop a water quality model that provides well calibrated outputs. Water quality models will be used to develop pollutant load reduction amounts needed to bring the stream segments into compliance with the Washington State water quality standards. Data collection and model development represent a cooperative approach between the Department of Ecology, King County, and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe to develop Total Maximum Daily Load reduction targets for the Green/Newaukum system. |
