| Abstract | Long Description |
Burnt Bridge Creek was included on the Washington State 2004 303(d) list of impaired waterbodies for fecal coliform bacteria, dissolved oxygen, and temperature violations of water quality standards. Burnt Bridge Creek flows through the City of Vancouver in southwestern Washington. The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) is required under Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act to develop and implement Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for impaired waters of the state. As a part of the TMDL for Burnt Bridge Creek, this technical study will (1) evaluate the relevant water quality parameters within the watershed during 2008-2009 and (2) build on previous efforts conducted by a variety of government organizations. Data collected will form the basis for allocating contaminant loads to pollutant sources. Each study conducted by Ecology must have an approved Quality Assurance (QA) Project Plan. This plan describes the objectives of the study and the procedures to be followed to achieve those objectives. The goal of this TMDL project is to ensure that Burnt Bridge Creek and its tributaries attain water quality standards for fecal coliform, dissolved oxygen, and stream temperature. After completion of this 2008-2009 study, a final report describing the results will be posted to the Internet. Finally a water quality improvement report will be drafted using information provided by this study. |
