Short Description

Only one ambient monitoring sampling station is currently maintained in the Entiat River basin and it is located approximately 1.5 miles upstream from the mouth at a private bridge. Sampling was conducted during wateryears (WY) 1959-66, 1972, 1975-76, 1978-91, and is now included in the WY 1994 sampling schedule. This report is limited to the period WY 1978-91, because prior collections were more limited in the number of parameters recorded, and the detection limits of several chemical constituents have changed substantially making comparisons difficult.

Abstract Long Description

Only one ambient monitoring sampling station is currently maintained in the Entiat River basin and it is located approximately 1.5 miles upstream from the mouth at a private bridge. Sampling was conducted during wateryears (WY) 1959-66, 1972, 1975-76, 1978-91, and is now included in the WY 1994 sampling schedule. This report is limited to the period WY 1978-91, because prior collections were more limited in the number of parameters recorded, and the detection limits of several chemical constituents have changed substantially making comparisons difficult.

What follows is divided into two sections: 1) an analysis of trends (over time) of each parameter using a seasonal Kendall test for trends and a discussion of the results; and 2) a brief narrative description and graphical display of each parameter to illustrate the median and variability of the data by month.
