likely due to a lack of water agitation (which would allow greater diffusion of oxygen into the water) and high
temperatures (low flow conditions are often associated with summer which has higher temperatures and lower oxygen
solubility).
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 already present. Note that during
any period with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the variance standard. During low flows and dry
conditions, the variance standard is met consistently. During these low flows would be the safest time for recreational
uses (most likely wading).
Concentrations are greatest at high flows, with concentrations exceeding the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline less than 50% of
the time during the highest flows. This suggests that the inputs are primarily non-point source pollution.
Suspended solids concentrations increase with increased flows. This suggests a prevalence of non-point sources. All of
the instances when the concentration exceeds the reference condition occur at the high flow condition. These conditions
most often occur following large storms or major snow-melt events. The suspended solids may come from runoff that
carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended 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.

to 2, with 0 being constant flow. The flashiness is slightly high at this location.
Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site do not fall
below this level. While concentrations on several days approach 5 mg/l, the concentration is well above 2 mg/l variance
standard for the site.
For recreational uses, lower fecal coliform counts (a measure of bacteria) are better (preferably under 400 count / 100ml).
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. As there is a variance that allows the fecal coliform counts to reach 2,000, another potential goal could be to
find ways to decrease coliform loading in order to increase the number of days that have fewer than 2,000 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. The concentration of phosphorus does not exceed 0.4 mg/l on any day.
Suspended solids cause water to become cloudy and aesthetically unpleasant. They can clog the gills of fish and
invertebrates, make feeding difficult, and lead to sediment deposition (poor habitat). The concentrations on most of the
days are less than 25 mg/l. The concentrations do not exceed 100 mg/l on any day.
Dissolved oxygen concentrations are highly variable at this site. Winter concentrations decline more than would be
expected. This variability suggests that there is substantial organic enrichment and biochemical oxygen demand within
the ecosystem. The decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer is typical due to the decreased
solubility of oxygen in warmer water. While the variance standard is not exceeded, the lower concentrations in the winter
are an issue.
While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the 75th percentile concentrations decline
during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Conditions are
particularly poor in March and are likely related to snow melt.
Phosphorus concentrations decline through the late spring, summer, and early fall. This may be related to uptake by
plants during the growing season. Concentrations exceed the planning guideline 50% of the time in March. This is likely
related to snow melt.
Suspended solids concentrations fall 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. With the exception of some
enclosed reaches, most of the reaches upstream of this site are natural; sediment could be re-suspending from the stream
bed.

any period with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory variance standard. During low flows and
dry conditions, the standard is met all of the time. During these low flows would be the safest time for recreational uses,
likely limited to wading.
Phosphorus concentrations are relatively consistent among all flow conditions; however, concentrations periodically
exceed the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline during the highest flows. This suggests the prevalence of non-point loads of
phosphorus.
Suspended solids concentrations increase with increased flows. This suggests a prevalence of non-point sources Nearly all
of the instances when the concentration exceeds the reference condition occur at the high flow condition. These
conditions most often occur following large storms or major snow-melt events. The suspended solids may come from
runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended stream sediments in areas without a
concrete channel.

Typically, aquatic communities need 5 mg/l or more of dissolved oxygen to survive. Concentrations at this site do not fall
below this level and are well above the 2 mg/l variance standard.
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 either below 400 or above 5,000. A potential goal in this case could be to
conditions. As there is a variance that allows the fecal coliform counts to reach 2,000, another goal could be to find ways
to decrease coliform loads in order to increase the number of days that have fewer than 2,000 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. The concentrations of phosphorus do not exceed 0.35 mg/l on any day.
days fall below 25 mg/l. The concentrations do not exceed 150 mg/l on any day.
Dissolved oxygen concentrations are highly variable at this site. Concentrations decline more than would be expected
during the winter. This variability suggests that there is organic enrichment and biochemical oxygen demand in the
ecosystem. The decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations during the summer is typical due to the decreased solubility of
oxygen in warmer water. While the variance standard is not exceeded, the lower concentrations in the winter are an issue.
While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, note that the 75th percentile concentrations decline
during the summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Conditions are
Phosphorus concentrations decline through the late spring, summer, and early fall. This may be related to uptake by
plants during the growing season. Concentrations exceed the planning guideline nearly 50% of the time in March, likely
related to snow melt.
Suspended solids concentrations fall below the reference concentration most of the time. Most of the higher
concentrations are probably related to larger rain or snow melt events that disturb bare soil. As this is a concrete-lined
channel, there is little sediment to re-suspend from the stream bed.

solubility).
any period with the highest flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the variance standard. During low flows and dry
conditions, the variance standard is met 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.
Phosphorus concentrations are highest at high flows. This suggests the prevalence of non-point loads of phosphorus.
However, concentrations periodically exceed the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline under moist conditions as well. The
similarities between the phosphorus and suspended solids data suggest that the phosphorus may be associated with
suspended sediment.
Suspended solids concentrations increase with increased flows. This suggests a prevalence of non-point sources. Nearly
all of the instances when the concentration exceeds the reference condition occur at the high flow condition. These
conditions most often occur following large storms or major snow-melt events. The suspended solids may come from
runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended 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.

Dissolved oxygen concentrations are somewhat variable at this site. The median and minimum concentrations decline
more than would be expected. This variability suggests that there is a source of oxygen demand in the ecosystem. The

Phosphorus concentrations are notably very high during the winter. This might be caused by deicing fluids used at the

season.
Suspended solids concentrations fall below the reference concentration most of the time, particularly in the winter. The

conditions, the standard is met approximately 75% of the time. This 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.
Phosphorus concentrations are highest at high flows. This suggests the prevalence of non-point loads of phosphorus.
However, concentrations exceed the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline during mid-range flows more decisively than at high
flows. This suggests that phosphorus loading in the waterway is not limited to non-point sources.
Suspended solids concentrations increase with increased flows. This suggests a prevalence of non-point sources. The
suspended solids may come from runoff that carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended 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.

conditions. An additional goal could be to find ways to decrease fecal coliform loads in order to increase the number of
days that are below 400.
Phosphorus is a nutrient that can lead to increased growth of algae. The concentrations on most days are at or below the

days fall below 25 mg/l and the concentrations do not exceed 200 mg/l on any day.
Dissolved oxygen concentrations are highly variable, particularly in the spring. This variability suggests that either there
is excessive algal growth or organic enrichment and biochemical oxygen demand in the ecosystem. The decline in
concentrations during the summer is typical due to the decreased solubility of oxygen in warmer water.
While the ranges of values are fairly consistent throughout the year, notice that the median value declines during the
summer swimming season. This may be related to the die-off of bacteria due to solar radiation. Also note that the
summer and fall account for many of the below 400 days mentioned above while the winter and early spring have many
of the above 5,000 days. Conditions are particularly poor in March and are likely related to snow melt.
Phosphorus concentrations decline in the late spring, summer, and early fall. This may be related to uptake by plants
during the growing season and the release of phosphorus from sediments and decomposing organic matter. In addition,
potential winter stormwater inputs from the airport may be a source of de-icing chemicals for the stream. De-icing
chemicals may contain phosphorus compounds that serve as corrosion inhibitors.
Suspended solids concentrations fall 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. As this is a concrete-lined

solubility).
(fecal coliform, in this case) is attributed primarily to non-point sources Note that during any period with the highest
flows, fecal coliform counts exceed the regulatory standard and during moist conditions, fecal coliform counts exceed the
standard nearly 75% 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 are greatest at high flows, with concentrations exceeding the 0.1 mg/l planning guideline nearly 75% of
the time at the highest flows. This suggests the prevalence of non-point loads of phosphorus.
Suspended solids concentrations increase with increased flows. This suggests a prevalence of non-point sources. All of
the instances when the concentrations exceed the reference condition occur at the high flow condition. These conditions
most often occur following large storms or major snow-melt events. The suspended solids may come from runoff that
carries a sediment load, from stream bank erosion, or re-suspended 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.
