| Short Description |
This interim report describes the second 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 one tributary in the vicinity of the BMP site were monitored. (Also see abstract below) | |||

| Abstract | Long Description |
This interim report describes the second 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 one tributary in the vicinity of the BMP site were monitored. Monitoring results for all stations exceeded water quality standards for fecal coliform. The tributary adjacent to the BMP site had statistically significant higher levels of conductivity, ammonia nitrogen, organic nitrogen, total persulfate nitrogen, and fecal coliform than the two river stations, and significantly lower nitrite/nitrate nitrogen levels. The report recommends that pre-BMP monitoring be concluded and post-BMP monitoring begin after installation of BMPs. |
