| Description | The lower 34.3-mile reach of the North Fork Palouse River contains a segment listed on the Clean Water Act 303(d) list for fecal coliform bacteria. However, fecal coliform concentrations in excess of water quality criteria have been documented throughout this reach in recent years. A comprehensive evaluation of fecal coliform data for the North Fork Palouse River was completed. Target reductions were established for the river and its tributaries. Implementation strategies include improved “best management practices” for nonpoint sources and addressing failing on-site sewage treatment systems. A monitoring strategy is proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of the total maximum daily load implementation measures. |
