| Description | This report is the technical portion of a Total Maximum Daily Load (water cleanup plan) study for fecal coliform (FC) bacteria in the Samish Bay watershed. Due to nonpoint (diffuse) sources, FC levels did not meet freshwater quality criteria at most of the sites sampled by the Department of Ecology from 2006-2007. Reductions in FC levels are necessary in the Samish River and its tributaries, in Colony Creek, and in all sloughs to the bay to protect (1) the public from pathogens in freshwater and (2) marine water and shellfish harvesting in Samish Bay. This report forms the basis to set FC load reductions from nonpoint and point (discrete) sources. |
