Short Description

This report describes the water quality monitoring results during the second year of a six year project to evaluate the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs). Pre-BMP monitoring was done on Beaver Creek and post BMP monitoring on Allen Creek, a tributary to Beaver Creek. Beaver Creek drains to the Black River near Littlerock in Thurston County. The 1995-96 monitoring results show violations in fecal coliform criteria for all sites and increases in nitrogen loads from upstream to downstream. Post-BMP monitoring is recommended for Beaver Creek beginning in 1996-97, and possible nitrogen sources between the BMP site and the mouth of Beaver Creek should be investigated.
