| Abstract | Long Description |
This interim report describes water quality monitoring results for the second year of a six-year project to evaluate the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs). Pre- and post- BMP monitoring was done on Deep Creek and a site at the mouth of Bunker Creek. The 1995-96 dry season pre- and post-monitoring results showed water quality improvement in fecal coliform levels at a site on Deep Creek where fencing was installed to exclude livestock from the creek. The dissolved oxygen (D.O.) criterion was not met at any of the sites, with lower D.O. levels seen in August and September. During the 1995-96 wet season, monitoring continued to show high turbidity and high levels of total suspended solids. Turbidity standards were exceeded at two sites on Deep Creek during the wet season. |
