| Abstract | Long Description |
Washington State Department of Ecology performed a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study for fecal coliform (FC) bacteria in the Nisqually River basin from March 2002 through September 2003. The goal was to investigate impaired water bodies as identified in Ecology′s 1998 303(d) list. One of the impaired water bodies sampled was McAllister Creek; Medicine Creek was sampled as one of its tributaries. The 2005 Nisqually TMDL technical report identified Medicine Creek as a source of fecal coliform bacteria to the mainstem McAllister Creek. High nitrate-nitrite-nitrogen (NO3+NO2-N) concentrations were also found in the lower Medicine Creek reach. This water quality assurance project plan is designed to characterize the lower reach of Medicine Creek for fecal coliform bacteria and NO3+NO2-N. |
