Description

Chemical, physical, and biological indices were used in this study. Water and sediment samples were analyzed for EPAs priority pollutants. Other measurements such as total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, total organic carbon and grain size, fecal coliform, dissolved oxygen, pH, acid volatile sulfides, ammonia, nitrogen, and phosphorus were also conducted. Contaminant concentrations and water quality parameters were compared to water quality standards and sediment guidelines. Macroinvertebrate, fish, and periphyton communities were evaluated using a systematic sampling and analysis of indicators of stream quality index of biological integrity IBI for fish and rapid bioassessment protocol RBP for benthic macroinvertebrates.
