| Description | This technical assessment uses effective shade as a surrogate measure of heat flux to fulfill the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act Section 303(d) for a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for temperature. Substantial reductions in water temperature are predicted for hypothetical conditions with mature riparian vegetation, improvements in riparian microclimate, and reduction of channel width. Potential reduced temperatures are less than the Class A standard of 18°C in almost all stream segments evaluated. In addition to load allocations for effective shade, activities to reduce incoming sediment and increase channel complexity are recommended for compliance with the water quality standards for water temperature. On January 5, 2005, changes were made in column 5 of Table E1 in the attached pdf. |
