| Abstract | Long Description |
This report describes the first year′s water quality monitoring results for a site where nonpoint source best management practices (BMPs) will be installed. The site is a dairy located on the east bank of the mainstem Chehalis River at river mile 70.6. The overall study design includes pre- and post-BMP water quality monitoring during the wet season. The Chehalis River upstream and downstream of the BMP site, and two in the vicinity of the BMP site, were monitored. This serves as follow-up to the Chehalis Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Study. Monitoring results for the tributary adjacent to the BMP site exceeded water quality standards for fecal coliform, turbidity, and ammonia. One more year of pre-BMP monitoring, and two years of post-BMP monitoring, is recommended. |
