Description Water quality studies underway

The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) is conducting water quality studies in the Lower Skagit River watershed. During summer 2001, Ecology is assessing water temperature. The results of the temperature study will be used to set the total maximum daily load (TMDL) that the water can accept and remain healthy for fish and other organisms. Ecology has already set a TMDL for bacteria (fecal coliform) in the watershed based on a water quality study completed in 1997. Water cleanup plans will be developed for temperature and fecal coliform to meet these TMDLs.
