| Study Name | Upper Yakima Suspended Sediment and Organochlorine Pesticide TMDL |
| EIM Data Entry Review Status | Reviewed |
| Study Type | Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) development |
| Study Purpose | The purpose of the suspended sediment and organochlorine pesticide TMDL project is to evaluate the effect of suspended sediment loads on water quality in the upper
mainstem of the Yakima River during the irrigation season, and to document sources of
suspended sediment and persistent organochlorine pesticides (Dickes and Joy, 1999). The
TMDL recommends necessary reductions in these parameters to support aquatic resources,
and to reduce their loading to the river and lower basin. Suspended sediment associations with general land uses and with fecal coliform bacteria were
also investigated in the Cherry/Wilson Creek sub-basin. |
