to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is reasonably low at this location.
Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site rarely fall
below this level.
For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 counts / 100ml).
The counts on majority of the days are below 400. This site exhibits fewer spikes of above 5,000 counts than many of
the downstream sites.
Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations on most days are at or below the
0.1 mg/l planning guideline, but occasionally, the concentrations exceed 0.5 mg/l.
Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy, which is aesthetically unpleasant. They can also clog the gills of fish and
invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations are less than 25
mg/l during most of the days and the concentrations of suspended solids do not exceed 125 mg/l on any day
These samples exhibit chloride concentrations that are below those that are toxic to fish and invertebrates. Concentrations
measured in March consistently exceed the chronic toxicity threshold. However, a common source of chloride is road salt
and there is no winter data. Note that concentrations in the March samples (which include snow melt and spring runoff)
are higher than the rest of the year. However, chloride concentrations during the winter would be expected to be greater
than those measured in March.
Note the decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer. This is normal due to the decreased solubility of
oxygen in warmer water. Conditions in early-to-mid summer approach the dissolved oxygen standard. While this is not a
problem, it suggests that small amounts of additional organic inputs or algal growth may increase biochemical oxygen
demand and create problems.
While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the median and 75th percentile values
decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also
note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt.
In most months, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline 25% to 50% of the time. Note that the lowest
range of concentrations increase in the late spring and early summer, possibly related to fertilizer runoff.
The concentrations of suspended solids are relatively low year-round and lower during the winter months. The lower
concentrations during the winter are probably related to a number of factors including frozen conditions and low-impact
storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).

Note the slight decline in the concentration of dissolved oxygen that occurs at low flows. This is likely due to a
combination of decreased water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with the
warm summer months).
Generally, a pollutant that is present at high concentrations during high flows and low concentrations during low flows
(fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. The infrequent sewer overflows (once every 2-5
years) would only contribute during the high flows when substantial non-point loads are present. Note that during any
period with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard 75% of the time. During low flows,
the standard is met more than 75% of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating,
swimming, wading, etc.), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading.
Concentrations of phosphorus are greatest at high and low flows. This suggests a background source of phosphorus that is
particularly noticeable during low flows as well as non-point loading of phosphorus at high flows (likely associated with
suspended sediment).
The concentrations of suspended solids increase with increased flows, suggesting contributions from non-point sources.
The suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended
stream sediments.

The counts on most of the days are either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case may be to determine
the conditions that create the above 5,000 days and discourage recreational use on days that meet these conditions. An
additional goal may be to find ways to decrease fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number of days that have
below 400 counts.
Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations on most of the days are at or
below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Throughout the year, the phosphorus concentrations do not exceed 0.3 mg/l on any
day.
mg/l during the majority of the days, but the concentrations of suspended solids exceed 200 mg/l on some days.
Note the lower dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer. This is normal due to the decreased solubility of
oxygen in warmer water. Conditions in early-to-mid summer approach the standard. While this is not a problem, it
suggests that small amounts of additional organic inputs or algal growth may increase biochemical oxygen demand and
create problems.
While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the 75th percentile values decline during the
summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the
conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt.
In each month, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline less than 25% of the time. Note that the 75th
percentile concentrations decline during the late spring and early summer, possibly related to phosphorus uptake from
plants and algae.
The 75th percentiles of suspended solids concentrations are highest in the late winter and early spring. Particularly in
March, this is probably related to runoff from snow melt. The maximum concentrations of suspended solids are lowest in
the winter, likely due to frozen conditions, decreased construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound
the soil like rain).

Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site fall below
this level about 15% of the time. Concentrations occasionally fall below 2 mg/l.
The counts on majority of the days are either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case may be to
determine the conditions that create the above 5,000 days and discourage recreational use on days that meet these
conditions. An additional goal could be to find ways to decrease the fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number
of days that have below 400 counts.

mg/l on the majority of the days, but the concentrations exceed 200 mg/l on some of the days.
It is normal for dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer to decline due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in
warmer water; however, the lower concentrations during February, March, and May to December are lower than would be
expected. This may be due to increased oxygen demand from aquatic organisms or from the decomposition of organic
matter.
While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the 75th percentile concentrations drop
during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that
the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt. There is an increase in the minimum values in
July and August the cause of this is uncertain.
In most months, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline less than 25% of the time. Note that the 75th
percentile concentrations decline in the late spring and summer, possibly related to phosphorus uptake from plants and
algae.
The 75th percentiles of suspended solids concentrations are highest during the late winter and early spring. The maximum
concentrations for suspended solids are lowest in the winter, likely due to frozen conditions, decreased construction
activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).

likely due to a combination of decreased water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated

(fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources. Note that during periods with the highest flows,
fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard more 75% of the time. During dry conditions and low flows, the
standard is met more than 75% of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming,
wading, etc.), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading.
Concentrations of phosphorus are highest at high flows. This suggests that the phosphorus inputs are primarily non-point
sources. Much of the phosphorus is likely sediment-associated, particularly under moist conditions. Note the similarities
between the phosphorus and suspended solids data.

The counts on majority of days are either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case may be to determine
the conditions that create the above 5,000 days and discourage recreational use on days that meet these conditions. An
additional goal could be to find ways to decrease fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number of days that have

mg/l on most of the days, but the concentrations exceed 200 mg/l on some of the days.
It is normal for dissolved oxygen concentrations to decline during the summer due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in
warmer water; however, the ranges of concentrations are wider than would be expected. This may be due to increased
oxygen demand from aquatic organisms or from the decomposition of organic matter.
While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the 75th percentile values decline during the
summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the
conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt. There is an increase in the minimum values in July
and August the cause of this is uncertain.
In most months, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline less than 25% of the time. Note that the 75th
percentile values decline during the late spring and summer, possibly related to phosphorus uptake from plants and algae.
The maximum concentrations for suspended solids are the lowest during the winter. This is likely due to frozen
conditions, decreased construction, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).

during periods with the highest flows, fecal coliform exceeds the regulatory standard. During dry conditions and low
flows, the standard is met more than 75% of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating,

conditions. An additional goal could be to find ways to decrease fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number of
days that have below 400 counts.
Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations are at or below the 0.1 mg/l
planning standard on about two-thirds of the days, but the concentrations exceed 1.5mg/l on some of the days.
These samples have chloride concentrations that are below levels that are toxic to fish and invertebrates. However, a
common source of chloride is road salt and there is no winter data. In other parts of the watershed, chloride is higher in
March probably a residual from road salt. As this is not the case here, it is possible that chloride may not be problematic
at this site.
The decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer is normal due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in
warmer water. The upper portions of the ranges for each month is fairly typical; however, the lower portions of the ranges
(below the 25th percentile) decline more than would be expected during the summer. This may indicate excess organic
matter and biochemical oxygen demand within the stream.
While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the median and 75th percentile values
decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also
note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt.
In most months, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline about 25% to 50% of the time. Note that the
phosphorus concentrations increase in March and is likely from snow melt.
The maximum concentrations of suspended solids are lowest in the winter. This is likely due to frozen conditions,
decreased construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).

Note the decline in dissolved oxygen concentration at low flows. This is likely due to a combination of decreased water

years) would only contribute during the high flows when substantial non-point loads are already present. Note that during
periods with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard more the 75% of the time. During
low flows, the standard is met more than 75% of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating,
swimming, wading, etc.).
Concentrations of phosphorus are greatest at high and low flows. This suggests a background source that is particularly
noticeable during low flows (perhaps from non-contact cooling water) as well as non-point loading of phosphorus during
medium and high flows.

warmer water. The upper portion of the ranges for each month is fairly typical; however, the lower portions of the ranges
(below the median or 25th percentile) decline more than would be expected, particularly during the summer. This may
indicate excess organic matter and biochemical oxygen demand in the stream.
While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the median and 75th percentile values decline
the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt.
In each month, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline less than 25% of the time. Note that the
minimum values increase during the late spring and into the summer. This is likely related to runoff of fertilizer.
The maximum concentrations of suspended solids are lowest during the winter, likely due to frozen conditions, decreased
construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain).

water agitation and higher temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with the warm summer months). Also,
note that dissolved oxygen concentrations decline during high flows, suggesting that the stormwater runoff may carry a
relatively large organic load and biochemical oxygen demand in the stream.
fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard more the 75% of the time. During low flows, the standard is
consistently met. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.), although the
amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading.
Concentrations of phosphorus are highest at high flows. This suggests the prevalence of non-point loads of phosphorus.
Unlike many of the other sites, the phosphorus concentrations do not appear to correlate well with suspended solids
concentration data.

While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the median and 75th percentile
concentrations decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar
radiation. Also note that the conditions are poor in March and are likely related to snow melt.
In each month, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline less than 25% of the time. Note that the
minimum concentrations increase during the late spring and into the summer and are likely due to runoff of fertilizer.
The maximum concentrations for suspended solids are lowest in the winter. This is likely due to frozen conditions,

fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard nearly all of the time. During low flows, the standard is met
consistently. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading, etc.), although the
amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading.
Concentrations of phosphorus are greatest at high flows. This suggests the dominance of non-point sources of
phosphorus. Note also that the minimum concentration increases at low flows, possibly due to background phosphorus
sources such as non-contact cooling water.

Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site are below
this level about 10% of the time, but never below 2 mg/l.
Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations on majority of the days are at or
below the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline. Throughout the year, the phosphorus concentration does not exceed 0.35 mg/l on
any day.
(below the median or 25th percentile) decline more than would be expected. This may indicate excess organic matter and
biochemical oxygen demand in the stream.
While the ranges of concentrations are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the median and 75th percentile
values decline during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation.
Also note that the conditions are poorest in March and are likely related to snow melt.
In most months, phosphorus concentrations exceed the planning guideline less than 25% of the time. Note that the
minimum concentrations increase in the late spring and summer, possibly due to runoff of fertilizer. Also, the phosphorus
concentration increases in March and is likely related to snow melt.
The maximum values for suspended solids are lowest during the winter. This is likely due to frozen conditions, decreased
construction activities, and low-impact storms (snow doesnt pound the soil like rain). In each month, the reference
concentration is exceeded less than 25% of the time.

this is not unexpected, the concentrations of dissolved oxygen occasionally fall below desirable concentrations.
years) would only contribute during the high flows when substantial non-point source is already present. Note that during
periods with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard all of the time. During low flows, the
standard is met nearly all of the time. This would be the safest time for any recreational uses (boating, swimming, wading,
etc.), although the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading.
Concentrations of phosphorus are greatest at high flows and suggest the presence of non-point loads of phosphorus. The
similarities between the phosphorus and suspended solids data suggest that the phosphorus may be associated with
suspended sediment.

any day
Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy and aesthetically unpleasant. They can clog the gills of fish and
While it is natural for dissolved oxygen concentrations to decline during warmer months, the concentrations decline
sporadically in March and during the summer and early winter this is unusual. The low concentrations in March may be
related to pollutants and biochemical oxygen demand in the runoff associated with snow melt.
While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the 75th percentile value declines
substantially in the summer and early fall. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria. Bacteria are most prevalent in
the winter and conditions are particularly poor in March. This is most likely related to snow melt.
Phosphorus concentrations are greatest in March and are likely related to snow-melt. Concentrations then decline during
the summer and early fall. This could be related to uptake by plants during the growing season.
Suspended solids concentrations are below the reference concentration most of the time. The majority of the higher
concentrations are likely related to larger rain or snow melt events that disturb bare soil.

during any period with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the variance standard. During moist conditions,
fecal coliform exceeds the standard 50% of the time. During low flows and dry conditions, the standard is met nearly all
of the time. During these low flows would be the safest time for recreational uses (boating, wading, swimming), although
the amount of water in the stream may limit recreational use to wading.
Concentrations of phosphorus are highest at high flows, with concentrations exceeding the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline
over 50% of the time at the highest flows. This suggests the prevalence of non-point loads of phosphorus. The
similarities between the phosphorus and suspended solids data suggest that the phosphorus may be associated with
suspended sediment.
stream sediments. Note that this site is located downstream of some concrete-lined reaches within the watershed. As a
result, upstream activities such as stream bank erosion and re-suspension of stream sediments likely make less of a
contribution to suspended sediment loads at this site compared to sites that are situated downstream of natural reaches that
experience these activities.
